Chapter 3

Bucky, Tony was noticing, did not get a lot of respect.
 

More than one vendor made him show the color of his coin before they’d allow him to even look at their goods, and one soldier had made Bucky move along when the man stopped to rest for more than a moment.
 

Tony hissed at the guard when Bucky apologized and lurched into motion. Bucky was a knight, he should not be required to kowtow to mere police. “They have no respect,” Tony complained indignantly. “You are a good man, a brave man. They should be grateful that you walk among them!” He scrabbled out of the pocket and up onto Bucky’s shoulder, peering back at the surly soldier through the curtain of Bucky’s hair.
