Steve could see the reporters long before they reached the actual doors, and he wasn't sure it was really the best idea for Bucky to face them. But Bucky had a point - it would be good for them to see he was all right (or at least, recovering), so Steve simply nodded and did what he'd been asked to do - keep an eye on everyone, and everything, and make sure no one but security got close to Bucky.
That part was a success, at least, but by the time they were in the car, with Steve sliding in onto Bucky's other side so he was sandwiched safely between his mother and the super soldier, he could tell it had take a lot out of Bucky to go through that. Mentally, he suspected, more than physically. "Hey, you did great," he said quietly, putting a protective hand carefully on Bucky's back, but mostly letting him sit close to his mother. "But maybe we should save the press conferences for a few weeks down the line, what do you say?"
