Stephanie sighed, looking around a bit before leaning back in her seat. She was out of class, having made a trip to JFK to wait. Bucky had written her, letting her know he would be coming home early and since then she'd been counting the days, waiting for her best friend to get back from the army.

She was nervous. They hadn't seen one another since he'd enlisted at 18. She was 23 now and she knew she looked a lot different. Gone was the gangly, scrawny teen girl that no one ever glanced at twice. No, Stephanie had grown at least a few inches, putting her at 5'6 (still short), but she'd definitely filled out in all the ways that mattered.

Course, she'd finally presented as well. The doctors had all said because of her health problems growing up that she would likely never present. She would go through life as a Null. Not even considered a beta. But on her 21st birthday something had changed. She'd felt sick at first and that had turned into her first heat. She stood up when she heard the announcement for Bucky's plane, running to the head of the terminal to wait for him.

Bucky had been in the military for seven years, it wasn't the best job in the world but he was good at it. He'd been part of an elite unit, a sniper, very very good at his job. Until his unit got capture....and he lost his left arm. Now he's broken....useless to the military so they're sending him home. Honorable discharge. Back to a world he doesn't really know. Back to his family...to Stephanie. She's the only bright light in his life right now. He saw her almost instantly when he exited the terminal. She was right there, blond hair, blue eyes. HE'd know her anywhere even if she does look different. His face lit up and he found himself smiling brightly back at her as he approached her.

"Fancy meeting you in a place like this." He said to her. "Wow, Steph. You really came into your own while I was gone. You look fantastic. Not that you didn't always look great." He said dropping his bag in front of her and reaching to pull her into a hug.
