Conversation Over Coffee: Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson
Bucky: You know, Sam, sometimes it feels like I’ve lived through enough wars and fights for ten lifetimes.
Sam: And yet, here you are, deciding if you want a latte or just a black coffee. It’s all about the small victories, right?
Bucky: It’s not just the coffee. It’s nice to take a moment and just… be. But I swear, this tech in here still feels like science fiction. The last time I went to a café, the fanciest thing you could do was order a cappuccino.
Sam: Well, welcome to the 21st century, Bucky. We’ve got Wi-Fi and caramel macchiatos now. Honestly, I think you’ve adjusted pretty well. Not everyone can say they’ve caught up 70 years in just a few.
Bucky: Yeah, but there’s still stuff I don’t get. Like… influencers. So, people actually make a living by just posting about their lives?
Sam: Yeah, it might seem weird, but it’s all about connection. People love to feel connected, despite all the chaos. Kinda like us, finding our grounding in a world that constantly shifts around us.
Bucky: Speaking of chaos, I tried using social media once. Let’s just say, finding that ‘delete account’ button never felt more like defusing a bomb.
Sam: (laughs) Yeah, maybe stick to fighting bad guys and giving cryptic one-liners. Your fans will appreciate that more.
Bucky: What about you? Seems like you’re always diving into something new. I see those wings aren’t just for show.
Sam: Well, somebody has to watch your back. Or your left, technically. Someone’s gotta keep this world safe while you’re busy catching up on pop culture.
Bucky: And one of these days, maybe you’ll convince me to watch “The Mandalorian.” I still don’t get why you won’t shut up about it.
Sam: Because it’s the intersection of old school and new school. Plus, it’s about belonging and finding one’s way. Seems kinda relevant to us. Trust me, just give it a shot.
Bucky: Alright, alright. I’ll watch it. Just quit bringing it up every time we grab coffee.
Sam: Deal! I’ll only bring it up every other time. Now, back to that coffee choice…
