Bucky did look better than he had before, his hair had grown out during their capture and time in hospital and he hadn't bothered to have it cut short again, but it was now washed and healthy rather than a greasy mess around his face. The surgeons had taken some more of his arm, even right up to the shoulder socket, so he didn't even have a stump left, but it was healing up much better now.

There was only a few moments of silence before Bucky came striding into the room, expression half angry and half concerned. He had been pretty mad when he woke up after that surgery and found out that Tony had run away, mad at Steve for yelling at his friend and mad at Tony for cutting him out as well.

"Thought you agreed that you wouldn't make me have to fight to be your friend," he muttered, coming and sitting in a chair near Tony without asking for permission.
