Despite them both on the high position team for a good amount of time, Bucky never got the chance to get to know Leona. He didn't see her around Sunhaven a lot when she was a Solbinder, and he was curious as to where she mysteriously disappeared to. Her presence among the clan slowly, yet surely, diminished, and Buckingham wasn't sure if the feline mutant would make an appearance again.

Much to his surprise, the alabaster feline laid at the border, covered in old, dried up bandages. He rose an invisible eyebrow, what in the world happened to her? If anyone here is going to understand what it's like to be a slave, forced to work against your will, it's Bucky. To be honest, he never called his time in his old home as the Winter Soldier slavery. It certainly has aspects of it-- though the difference is Bucky was manipulated to believe what he did was for the greater good. He took orders and missions, he killed- but how it ties back to slavery- he did things Bucky Barnes wouldn't want to do. "Leona? Where've you been.. What happened to you?"
