Everyone experiences luck, whether good or bad, in their own ways. Some have it worse than others, it really depends on the individual. Would Buckingham say he had some bad luck, with his past regarding the Asset/Winter Soldier? No, he wouldn't call it luck. By definition, luck means "success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions". It was not by chance that Buckingham became the Asset/Winter Soldier. It was through Ximen's actions, and eventually his own. But, would he call an unexpected relapse bad luck? After months and months of thinking freedom was at his paws? Yes, relapsing into that machine wasn't an chose that he made willingly. It was by chance, whether that's pushing his paranoia over the edge, or ambushing him. The possibilities were numerous, and each time the Asset may be triggered can be entirely different than the last. Though, tying back to the beginning- everyone has their own view on luck, Bucky's 'bad luck' can be entirely different to the person next to him.

The maine coon made his way over after Venus, his light blue eyes landing on Fleabane. Much like Venus, Fleabane looked like a scruffy stray, he didn't think of the events that lead up to her appearance. For starters, Fleabane is a complete stranger, the maine coon has no idea what the Tanuki has gone through the past few days. He could easily make assumptions about her, but the maine coon decided against it. "I'm Buckingham Barnes, assistant deputy here as well," He began to introduce himself, with a swish of his bushy tail, "Feel free to call me Bucky, though."
