Paint. [Steve echoes and the word and nods firmly. Since Bucky doesn't argue with him on that, maybe that really is the answer to what he's remembered. At least they were able to solve one little snag in Bucky's memory, though there are probably a hundred more where that came from.

Thankfully, Steve happens to have the answer key. At least for most of it. He won't necessarily be able to help with memories that he wasn't a part of, but thankfully those are few and far between. The biggest gap would be during the time when Bucky went off to war without him.

When Bucky explains, suddenly it all falls into place. Of course the majority of his memories would be from before Steve had the serum, all those years they'd spent growing up in Brooklyn. If Bucky hasn't been allowed to learn anything about Captain America (and HYDRA no doubt was very careful about that, so that they didn't accidentally break his programming), then it's no surprise that he's confused.]

That's because I was small, back then. I was the first person to successfully take the super soldier serum, so that's what made me... like this. [He gestures down at himself.] I was damned and determined to go to war, and the serum was my ticket in. [Though he did have to suffer through those USO shows first.]
