[Bucky spends the first part of the day running a little solo reconnaissance. He fights when he needs to, but mostly he goes for quick and quiet, working his way around the thickest part of the fight. It's getting dicey enough, between the cultists and the blizzard, that he's about to turn back.
Then he catches sight of Vastra. He doesn't even think about it before he moves, crouching down behind the closest cover he can find. He'd kill for his rifle and the time to move up to that nice vantage point on the roof of the clinic, but he makes do with the handgun he brought along, firing at the oncoming cultists. A bullet goes through someone's throat, another clips a wing, and another goes wide, lost to the storm. Bucky empties a clip before he makes it close enough to speak to her.]

We've gotta stop meeting like this, Miss Vastra!
