I guess not. [He offers a tight little smile, but Bucky's not looking so good, so they can save the kidding for when he's at least sitting down. Maybe after they've gotten him some painkillers. A lot of painkillers.
And hey, he's got a career, thanks. It's called risking his neck on a daily basis. Fun?
He winces - definitely in sympathy, this time - as Bucky sinks down onto the edge of the bed, and Steve's going nowhere, Bucky can use him for support or just as a thing to squeeze for as long as he needs. He does have time to at least look apologetic before Jack's coming over, and he gives a short report of what Bucky told him, but then lets Bucky answer any more detailed questions.
He stays as long as he can; he hates to leave, but eventually he's got to go deal with this Joker situation (it's still volatile) and once Jack takes over, Bucky's sort of out of his hands, anyway. He promises he'll check in, he'll be back, and hopes that maybe if he leaves, Bucky will actually get some rest. He looks like he needs it. Desperately.
Although by the time this is all over, it's not surprising that Bucky is ready to, as a SHIELD agent once put it (and then had to explain), get the hell outta Dodge. Steve wouldn't be surprised if Jack's ready to let him go, either, because sorry pal, but you can be a horrible patient. So he swings by once it's finally safe - still in uniform, still starving, and still in need of a shower after all that - to pick up Bucky and see if he can be convinced to come down to Level 7, rather than going up to that bunk bed on 1. For once, Steve's glad for the nicer bed.] I hear you need a responsible adult to take you home.
Spam (let me know if anything needs changing~)
