It was all Bucky could do to not openly roll his eyes at the woman. Instead, he just ignored her and followed Steph over to where she was obviously pretending to be interested in whatever kind of wine that was.

"Did you want to get that one?" he asked when he came to a stop beside her and placed his free hand on her back. He hoped that would be enough to make the woman back off, but even before the war it had been hit or miss, with women not always taking the hint when he was out with Steph.

Before the war, it could be annoying and borderline insulting, the way they would brush off Steph's existence or ignore the fact that he clearly wasn't interested. Since coming back to New York he downright hated it.

Maybe he should get a hat. Maybe even a mask or something.
