She was getting scared. She was supposed to be back at the orphanage hours ago but a weird thunderstorm kicked up. Lightning streaked across the sky as the eight year old girl tried to make a run for it. Rain hadn't come down yet. But the winds were blowing every which way and she heard the rumble. She really hoped she made it back home before it really began to pour.

"We're just trying to make sure you're okay, Steph," he said, reaching over to shift her into his arms. It was alarming how little she weighed. "You need to get some rest. You can go be awesome tomorrow or something."

She didn't like being treated so delicately and it showed on her face. The frail girl barely weighed anything, a result of the scarcity of food as of late and the allergies she had to different things. Still, Steph stayed close to Tony.

Bucky ruffled her hair and gave Tony a hard glare before he walked off to his friends.

"Are we sure he's not your boyfriend?" Tony asked, trying to lighten the mood. "Because he's one step away from asking me what my intentions are towards his darling Stephanie."

"My dad's not around. So Bucky thinks he's my big brother," she explained. "He's got to look out for me. Especially...since all we have is each other. So no, he's not my boyfriend."

"I'm just saying, if he purposes to you out of the blue, don't be too surprised." There was a pause, and then Tony's voice dropped into sincerity mode. "It must be nice to have friends." Not friends like that. Just friends in general.

She knew from the tone of his voice that Tony didn't have a lot of friends. Or even any friends. "Surely, you have a Bucky back home."

"Not really. People just kind of put up with me. I'm not like you, I don't have social skills like this."

"Everybody has a best friend," she insisted.

"I'll be your best friend."

"I don't think Bucky would like that. At all. He hates me."

"He'll be fine. And you're not nobody."

"Why does Bucky hate me so much?" Tony asked, genuinely confused. "I haven't done anything... for once."

"Ever since mom died, he thinks he needs to take care of me," she answered quietly. "I think he misses his sister too."

"Who took her and... where is she now?"

"He don't know where she is. The agents took her."

"Child protective services. They said Bucky couldn't take care of his sister..."
