Brothers in Arms

SO there’s the moment in Inifinity war that was gifed by @lupitanyongio, and I thought, Okoye’s reaction is very mother-like.

But then I thought about it a bit. It’s not a heart-broken mother reaction, it’s a soldier’s heart-broken moment.

I refuse to believe that the people in Wakanda didn’t know about HYDRA, at least as a concept. Within the MCU, HYDRA wasn’t really a secret, and the parts they played in WWII, was so integral to the course of history, there’s no way it was left out of any sort of history book. And it’s not like Wakanda is ignorant of what’s going on - they have War Dogs, spies posted internationally, they had to have had some inkling as to the stories of the Winter Soldier.

So enter Bucky Barnes with a programming inside his head, and he doesn’t feel safe - he’s not himself. He hides away in his little hut with his goats, because this is all he ever wanted in life, peace and quiet. 

One day, Okoye’s curiosity gets the better of her, and she visits Bucky.

At first, he doesn’t really want to speak to her, but his mama raised a gentlemen, so he’s not going to tell her to get lost. But the moment she see’s him, she knows. 

Okoye isn’t some wide-eyed warrior who’s just joined the Dora Milaje, she’s their General. She’s seen battle. She’s seen death. She’s seen more than enough of it in her 20, 30 years of serving the Dora. To stand before a man who has seen so much in his 100 years, battle, war, death, unspeakable crimes. To have had his will to act, his will to live stripped away. 

She sees all this, and her heart breaks, because she knows. 

So that look that she makes when Bucky asks “where’s the fight?” That’s of a soldier who knows her comrade has seen too much, and yet, is going back to do the right thing.

And her heart breaks.

“You couldn’t have done that earlier…?”

“I hate you.”

i like to think they’re observing the pizzeria to figure out when it opens

We’re going to the future, Bucky Barnes says, and he hands Steve Rogers a copy of today’s paper, presses him close against his side, and they dream about warless times and flying cars.

Seventy years of sleep later, Steve Rogers lies on the glass of a dying helicarrier, gazes up at angry yet fearful eyes, touches the fist scrunched against his chest.

If this is the future, let’s stay in the past.

If the Winter Soldier was responsible for the Kennedy assassination and Magneto tried to STOP the Kennedy assassination then that must mean somehow Magneto lost a fight to a guy wITH AN ENTirE ARm MADE OF METAL

#imagine bucky having no recollection of him assasinating kennedy #and he starts reading and catching up on american history that he missed out on while brainwashed #and hes like ‘daaaaang somebody assassinated the president? thats cold’ #and natasha casually walks by and says ‘yeah it was you’ #and bucky shits himself on the spot
