Seize the Day

Bucky and Helen, after a brief stop in Wakanda, boarded a plane.

---

Their plane landed in Delacroix, Louisiana.

They arrived at the docks and saw people unloading things, putting them close to the boat.

Helen looked around for Sam and heard him say, "Tommy, Carlos, man, this is amazing." He chuckled. "Thanks so much, man."

"Look..." Carlos began.

"Thanks, y'all."

"Hey, look, word goes out the Wilson family needs help?"

"Yes, sir," a man said.

"We still got a bit of usefulness in us."

"How do we get it off the truck?"

Bucky grabbed a crate from the back and a man cried, "Oh!"

As Bucky set the crate down, he said, "You're welcome."

Sam glanced at Helen. "Did someone call you two?"

Helen shook her head as Bucky said, "Nah, we're just dropping something off."

Bucky placed the case on the back of the truck. "You can sign for it and we'll go. Helen and I called in a favor from the Wakandans."

Before Sam could say anything, a hose came loose on the boat and a loud hissing sounded.

Sarah quickly made her way to her brother and called, "Sam!"

Sam ran to the boat and grabbed a wrench, trying to tighten the hose.

"Hi," Bucky greeted, waving to Sarah.

"Hi," Sarah replied in a bright tone.

Helen narrowed her eyes and Bucky kissed her temple, chuckling softly before saying, "Don't worry, you're the only one for me, doll."

Bucky walked up to Sam and said, "Hold on, hold on. You gotta go up." He grabbed the wrench from Sam and tightened the hose.

As soon as the hissing stopped, Bucky dropped the wrench to his side and Helen walked onto the boat.

Sam looked between Bucky and the hose before asking, "Why didn't you use the metal arm?"

Helen shrugged and said, "Well... He is right-handed."

Bucky looked at his left hand and added, "I don't always think of it immediately." Sam chuckled and Helen had a tiny smile. "So, this is the boat, huh?"

"This is it." Sam leaned against the box below the hose.

Bucky nodded and looked around again. "It's nice."

"You want any help?" Helen asked. "From the both of us?"

"Yeah," Sam replied as he walked to the front of the boat.

Sarah walked up to the boat and Bucky smiled before saying, "I'm Bucky." He gestured to the brunette. "This is Helen."

"Ah, Sarah," Sam's sister replied with a smile.

Helen gave a small smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sarah."

Bucky nodded. "Sarah."

Sarah looked between them. "Sam was right about the two of you. You're great together. I'm sorry for your loss."

"Thanks."

Bucky and Helen shared a look before going to assist.

Bucky began sanding wood while Helen cleaned the deck. Sam tried to get some metal siding off the boat and yelled, "Shit!" Bucky went up to him, pulled off the metal piece, and put it to the side. "Thanks."
