“Probably.” Bucky had never met Watson but assumed this was the correct response.

“They said they’d deliver it, but we won’t get there at the same time since we’ll be on foot.”

“No problem,” said Bucky. “We just knock out the delivery drivers, take their uniforms, hijack their truck, and deliver your flux capacitor ourselves!”
