He took her hand with his right and shook it, a warm and polite squeeze. “Bucky Barnes,” he said, despite the fact that he was pretty goddamn certain she already knew; it was worth it just to keep up appearances and some semblance of normalcy. Normal people got to introduce themselves. “And hey, me too. You could pretty much bill me as a professional sidekick by now. I’ve technically got decades of practice.”
When she asked where the beers were, he considered — he could just point Darcy to the right area, then politely take his leave — but god, he was getting tired of hanging around the edges of the party and constantly looking like he didn’t belong. Maybe it was time to socialise. So, he gave a follow me wave and started leading them over to the coolers and an unattended picnic table in some half-shade, where he set down his plate. An implicit invitation, while he cracked open his beer with his metal hand and stood by as Darcy started rummaging through the coolers.
“So what kind of doctor are you? Something like that guy?” He gestured with his thumb over to Doctor Strange and his contingent of sorcerers.
