Torchwood.
The last place Bucky was looking to find answers was in Cardiff, of all damn places, but he had run out of options.

Seventy odd years ago he was a solider, a sniper in the 107th and he had everything a fella could want. A best friend, a damn good career and a unit he cared for. A mission in the mountains had gone wrong. They were ambushed and in a desperate attempt to save his friend, Bucky fell. He didn't tumble down the side of the mountain or crash into the ice, though. He was swallowed up by a burst of blue-white light and six months ago he dumped in the middle of New Mexico with an artificial left arm and no memory of what had happened to him or why he'd been flung so far into the future.

He called in what favors he could, talked to anyone who would listen, desperate for answers. What had happened to him? Where had he gone? The Howling Commandos were long gone. He had nothing left.

It was easy to strike the deal in the end. Work with Torchwood and try and find the answers. They dealt in the weird and unexplained and god knows Bucky had enough of that.

Peter isn't a very good actor so his relief is evident when Steve promises that they can stick together. Being on his own, with no one to talk to had been terribly lonely. So it looks like he's going to build a new life in Wales! Kind of exciting, really.

Ianto helps get them sorted and even has access so Peter can take classes online. He doesn't notice when Steve and Bucky slip away.

Bucky is all smiles as he shows him around. Labs, the weapons range, tech rooms, storage and even holding cells. "Don't go near the cells if we have a guest. Some of them are.. grouchy. And alien."
