Even though there are newer rides and newer attractions, all blaring noise and colour, there are still the older stands and the older rides there too. The sound of people having fun, the smell of carnival food, it's been the same since before Steve was born and will probably be that way long after he's gone.
Maybe that's why Bucky finds it comforting. It's a piece of his past, and when he comes here then he sometimes gets flashes of memory, images of a better time. The postcard hadn't been an intentional message, but it still gives clues away. Steve is probably aware of someone watching him for at least fifteen minutes before a man in another baseball cap slides onto the other end of the bench.
He looks a bit better than last time, he's moving with an ease that suggests his wounds have healed, and he's wearing fresh jeans and a new hoodie with the big Avengers A on the front of it, one of the many pieces of Avengers merchandise out there now. He still has the look of a hunted animal, posture too tense, but he gives off a credible outward appearance of just being a relaxed guy on a bench with a stranger.]
