And one of the amateur scientists is Bucky Barnes, who’s had a 10 year long crush on another amateur scientist, his best friend, Steve who is heavily crushing on him, too.
They’re with their friends observing, and Sam asks them what should they call it:
“Steve,” Bucky says, mesmerized.
“Oh?” Real Steve asks, his heartbreak accelerated as Sam and Nat smirk.
Bucky snaps out of his trance, blushing fiercely and grateful that the night covers it a little.
“Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement,” he says, aware of how stupid it sounds. It just reminded him of Steve’s eyes.
“That make sense.” Steve agrees, hiding the disappointment.
“It doesn’t, they’re literally random words,” Nat exclaims, walking out. “I can’t deal with you idiots right now, it’s 2 am.”
Sam walks right behind her laughing out loud.
They HOPEFULLY talk about things after that, kiss, and giggle every time Sam and Nat made any of them explain the name to the press.
