"Three? There have been a lot of Caps." Bucky could list them all, from Jeff Mace to William Burnside to William Naslund, but he's not sure if that's what Sam is asking. He doesn't know yet about Sam being Cap - Tony is from farther along in the timeline but Bucky hasn't asked. "Steve gave up the shield to me for some reason. Technically it's just the one."

He pauses, Sam's confusion evident, and it makes a bit of sense, he guesses. If the other Bucky doesn't remember his life, then of course they didn't go that route. "Never mind." He shakes his head. "If his current state is anything like mine was... It'll take time for him to come back to the world."
