<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ff99">"I've used Google and JARVIS a little -- Stevie showed me how, and that Darcy dame set me up with a tablet afore she ran off to New Mexico the last time.  Sometimes if I can't sleep, I go on Wikipedia and read weird shit."  He seemed almost shy to admit that -- to admit that he read information for fun.  "I don't wanna wake Stevie up just 'cuz I can't sleep, so JARVIS showed me how to read it on my phone without wakin' up the punk."<br/>

The boy could protest all he wanted, but Bucky knew his need to keep Steve (and a previously extremely short list of people that seemed to keep growing) alive at all costs wasn't altruistic.  It wasn't like Bucky kept Steve alive out of some desire to keep Steve fighting -- not even really so that he could claim he just wanted Steve alive.  Bucky <i>needed</i> Steve to be alive, because without him -- without Steve, Bucky had no reason to continue to wake up in the morning.<br/>

"Does that mean it ain't selfish to want to make sure you're safe, too?" Bucky asked.  "I figure that's what Tony benching you was about -- tryin' to keep you safe.  Reckon he's goin' about it wrong, but I get the impulse.  If I thought I could get Stevie to stay in the Tower alla time, I fuckin' would."  In a way, Bucky swearing freely around Peter was a way of telling him that though he was young, Bucky considered him a full member of the team -- not exactly an adult, but an equal in terms of the team.  He didn't flutter over the kid any more than he did over Natalia or the irritating (and amusing) Sam Wilson.</span></span>
