Steve was the only person that Bucky had ever met that could be both hopelessly idealistic and completely realistic at the same time. Usually the realists tended to be more cautious, or even bitter, unable to see the light that the naive optimists could. And usually optimism was a fragile thing, able to be crushed by the first negative thing that happened.

Not with Steve.

He always looked for the best case scenario, always believed, but he never flinched from the truth when that came either. He wanted to save everyone, but if they got there and it turned out they were all dead, then he'd cope with that too and move onto saving the ones on the training moon. Bucky admired it, always had done, and wished he could see the world through those eyes more than once.

Bucky would be first down to the cockpit when the announcement came, he was a light sleeper and well trained in going from asleep to completely aware in a heartbeat. Though Barton and Steve likely wouldn't be far behind.

"What is it?"
