Ten minutes into an impromptu drive to Brooklyn, an alert from the Avengers facility flashes up on the windscreen in an alarming red that glares against the early Winter snow. Steve makes a quick U-turn and uncharacteristically accelerates, going at the speed limit instead of under, as Bucky begins to voice his concern.

"Everything okay?" he asked from the passenger seat.

Steve doesn't take his eyes off the road, "There's been a breach at the facility."

"Oh, I've never been th-"

"And you've never bee-"

The two men cut off at the same time. "Then I can introduce you to the newbies."

A grin spreads across Bucky's lips, "Lemme guess where they're from this time. Algeria? Secret ops in Spain?"

Steve smiles, his grip on the steering wheel shifting, "Space."

Marching into the facility, the two men were surprised to see the place was not in absolute chaos, instead buzzing with employees in perfect order.

Steve and Bucky stood by the doors to the facility in complete confusion, until the latter pulls a worker to the side, "Hey, wasn't there an infiltration earlier?"

The lady looks up from her paperwork, "False alarm."

The men look at each other quizzically, "False alarm? By who?"

"Ah, well if it isn't Bucktooth and Spangles." The pair looked at each other, then around, until realising the voice came from below.

"Steve," Bucky pauses, "There's a ferret talking to us."

"I know, Buck."

"Greetings!" Thor and Groot walk in from behind the pair, joining the conversation.

"A walking tree. That's... that's a walking tree."

"I am Groot."

"He said, 'I am Groot'" Thor introduces the teen.

"Oh, I know, he just said that."

Thor looks intrigued, "You know Groot?"

Bucky cocks his head, "No, we just met."

Thor laughs, "It's a language, man with much prettier hair than me." The blond reaches out for Bucky who steps back.

The Winter Soldier's eyebrows furrow, "I know 30 languages."

"Is Groot one of them?"

"No." Rocket tugs on his metal arm, "But it can't be that difficult." Steve rolls his eyes. "Hey Groot, what's your favourite colour?"

"I am Groot."

"Uh, green?"

"Purple," Thor and Rocket both state.

"I am Groot."

Everyone looks at Bucky expectantly, "He's hungry?"

"Actually, yes!" Rocket says.

"Really?"

Thor chuckles, "No, he said he was bored. You are bad at this, friend of Steve. You should stick to killing people." He goes on to imitate punches in the air, whilst Bucky sighs.

"Your friends are fun."

Steve scratches the back of his head, "They're, uh, colleagues."
