[ The problem with the past ten years is that he's only been around for less than half of it. There hasn't been much room for living in his years since leaving HYDRA, especially considering his time spent on ice in Wakanda and then dusted out of existence; plus Bucky's been puttering along in a kind of half-life even outside of that. So he chews over the question. ]
So, to be totally honest— it's not like I have that many recent stories to fall back on. Like, five of those years, I wasn't even here.
[ Silver lining of Bucky's strange life: blinking and finding that the world had slid five years in the interim was, actually, pretty par for the course for him. That particular chapter hadn't been quite as traumatic for him as others. He was already a man out of time, so what was one more blip? ]
I don't really have one big embarrassment. Maybe just a bunch of small ones. Like my first real mission with Sam, I made the really smart decision of jumping out of a plane without a parachute and just bouncing off every tree on my way down. Or maybe— okay, so, he made me a dating profile without me realising and set my preferences to women over sixty?
He wasn't enough of an asshole to actually match with them, but I had to figure out how to change those settings. And update my bio. And that, Daisy Bernardine Johnson, is how I learned what 'cougars' were.
