Time passes, again. Ross checks in with his agents; Bucky keeps an eye on his phone. He texts Steve to let him know Sharon's in surgery, then does the same for Natasha.

Decades of being trained to stand silent and still keep him from pacing the floor. He still wants to.

From time to time he goes to the window and watches operations in the vibranium mine. They have aircraft that look like dragonflies, he notices, and a high-speed train that's nearly silent.

By mutual undiscussed agreement, he and Ross don't talk, save to share updates.
