James Buchanan Barnes you’re giving me white hairs. You’re stressing me out. Just relax and go home.

love & revolution.

too many thoughts about sam joining the outer circle via accidentally killing the current love (except he wanted to save her — he was too late) and therefore, by the rules of the game, replacing her. thanks @sereinreality for the brainrot

Is Bucky a villain in the comics now? It looks like he’s fighting with Steve and Sam.

So there are two parallel Cap runs, Sentinel of Liberty and Symbol of Truth, where both Steve and Sam are Cap at the same time. (You absolutely need to read the two Winter Soldier specials to understand Sentinel of Liberty.)

Bucky is pretending to be a super villain in order to end an evil global conspiracy that’s been controlling world events since the 1920s. They also killed his parents in order to force him into the military as a child and have been using him his entire life to kill people, both before, during, and after he was The Winter Soldier. So he’s like real mad. And he hasn’t slept in weeks so he’s extra unhinged.

The conspiracy, The Outer Circle, was created by a group of people who treat manipulating the world as a game. One player, the Revolution, was intended to stop the game, trying to foil the other players. If one of the players is killed, the killer becomes the new player. The Revolution orchestrated things so that Bucky would kill him and become the New Revolution, hopefully to end the game once and for all.

Steve didn’t want anyone to die and Bucky absolutely wants to kill them all. He shot through Steve to kill the Revolution, which is hilarious because every time Steve is like “Bucky shot me :(“ everyone responds by telling him “well good news is that he didn’t want you dead or you’d be dead so you’re obviously still friends.” And Bucky’s first act as a super villain was literally to get Steve laid by Sharon Carter, like mea culpa bro. Bucky is keeping Steve at arm’s length but is spying on Steve via Peggy Carter. They both had big tears about their fight - they’re like on the outs but not really on the outs.

We don’t know how Sam plays into this yet, but Sam is miffed at Bucky for not telling him Nomad was alive. We don’t know why tho. It’s unclear how Sam gets involved just yet but it’s likely because the White Wolf’s plot will intersect with the Outer Circle.

Essentially, T’Challa’s evil adopted brother, White Wolf, has been trying to ruin Sam’s life for reasons unknown. He’s gotten Sam into several international incidents because Sam infiltrated other nations to stop White Wolf’s terror plots, sometimes with severe consequences. Shuri was so incensed that Sam crossed into Wakanda against her instructions that the council revoked the visas of an entire wave of American immigrants. Meanwhile, White Wolf assassinated a world leader Sam couldn’t save and has injected Joaquín with something that’s making him attack Sam. Like he has a lot of his own problems at the moment and 99 of them are White Wolf, so not sure how it leads to fighting with Bucky yet. Sam’s currently trying to stop White Wolf’s dictatorship of Wakanda’s neighbor, Mohannda.

TL;DR: Bucky’s pretending to be a super villain so he can kill the real super villains, which Steve is upset about because killing is bad. Sam is going toe to toe with White Wolf atm so it’s unclear how he gets involved with Steve and Bucky’s drama.

Sam Wilson

Word Count: 530

Tags & Warnings: POV Steve Rogers, Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, Pre-Slash, Steve dealing with his son's return from the 'dead' ( Ian Rogers ) and Sam telling him he's allowed to be happy

Summary: Post-Captain America: Cold War, canon divergence, where after Ian comes back into their lives, Sam finds Steve at his favorite bar.

For @steverogersbingo R3 / March Monthly Adoptables

“Did you know about him this whole time?” Steve asked, beer in hand as the strobing lights came and went.

“Not the whole time, no.” Sam paused to take a swing of his own cooled beverage. “We were a bit busy, as you can probably guess, but he wasn’t ready either.”

Steve dropped his eyes to the table, the abandoned menu sat teetering over the edge. He plucked it out of its precarious position and stood it up on the opposite corner. They’d already ordered something.

In the meantime, he wasn’t quite sure how to feel. He was elated, surely, but he’d spent so long in mourning. How could one turn that off?

Ian was well and alive, and he was delighted.

Why did it feel like extra weight was packed onto his shoulders?

“He wasn’t sure how you would take it,” Sam continued. “From the sounds of it, y’all had a good time catching up.”

“We did,” Steve answered with a reassuring nod. “We did. I didn’t think I’d ever get that chance again—to hug him, to ask him how he was doing.”

Sam looked at him, then, a little more closely. The man had years of experience reading him. It was as if all he had to do was push a button and all his secrets were right there for the taking. Steve had never felt good with lying, even lying by omission, but honesty came easy with Sam, as did so many other things.

It was apt, he supposed, that Sam would find him holed up here—the same bar he last took Sharon on a date with. Steve wasn’t sure if the universe was trying to tell him something with that.

“It’s okay to be happy, y’know.” 

Confused, he looked at Sam with furrowed brows. He could hear the waiter pick up their orders now, already on their way over. Steve took the chance to think that statement over.

“Thank you,” they’d both said to the waiter in unison, friendly smiles on their faces all the while.

“Ian’s still finding himself, so he’ll be here and there,” Sam waved a hand between the world and themselves. Steve is inordinately pleased with that news. “I’ll make sure he doesn’t chicken out in giving you his number. Kid’s still nervous.”

“I’m glad he has you, Sam—that you’re partners and you’re friends,” Steve said earnestly. “You’re family, always have been.”

Sam stopped and put down his burger, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and leaned back in his seat. The man looked at Steve with a quirk of his lips, something between and smirk and smile.

“You have permission to be happy, Rogers,” Sam reiterated, and he was glowing as he said it—as if he saw something in Steve before he could even recognize it in himself. “You get that, right?”

Steve let his own smile curve onto his lips, finally letting the music from the jukebox flow into his ears as a sweet melody instead of background noise. He looked at Sam, sitting across from him in this booth in the corner of his favorite bar, and he knew right then that he had another reason to be happy.

Captains America Reunite in “Captain America: Cold War”

Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson have both been using the mantle of Captain America in the pages of Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, and Carmen Carnero and Captain America: Symbol of Truth by Tochi Onyebuchi and R.B. Silva. Now the two Captains are about to reunited for the crossover event Captain America: Cold War.

Spoilers ahead.

Cold War kicks off with a prelude in Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #11. Captain America and the Invaders are free of M.O.D.O.C.’S mind control, but now the Outer Circle has arrived. Steve will have to fight the Power and end the Outer Circle’s invasion of Manhattan for good.

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty goes on sale on April 5, 2023.

Captain America: Cold War Alpha #1 hails from writers Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Tochi Onybuchi and artist Carlos Magno. “Bucky Barnes is the Outer Circle’s New Revolution, and he has enacted his deadliest move yet—an alliance with Sam Wilson’s nemesis, the White Wolf. When Steve Rogers’ adopted son, Ian, AKA Nomad, is abducted by someone Steve thought was a friend, he suspects Bucky’s hand at work and calls upon the people who know Ian best -- Sam Wilson, Sharon Carter, and Misty Knight -- to help him get to the bottom of the attack. Has Bucky finally gone too far? Why has Nomad been taken, and what does it have to do with a portal to Dimension Z opening over a secret battleground in Alaska?” (Marvel Comics)

Captain America: Cold War Alpha #1, featuring a cover by Patrick Gleason, goes on sale on April 12, 2023.

Captain America: Symbol of Truth #12 is part two of Cold War. Will Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers be able to agree on the priorities needed to end the newest threat? White Wolf has taken control of Dimension Z and set the creatures on Sam and Steve and it also turns out that the Outer Circle has more stakes in the fight than the Captains realized. Also, What are Bucky’s plans for Ian Rogers?

Captain America: Symbol of Truth #12 goes on sale on April 26, 2023.

Okay so Steve and Sam aren’t going to use different adjectives. Instead their respective books are going to sound like Pokemon titles?
