She's from the city and now that he knows it, Bucky can place it. He can hear the blend of her accents, the way they layer on one another, and he shakes his head a bit at her question. It's too much to explain, really. He doesn't even know if Steve knows everything about the time he's lost, the time that he was under HYDRA's control.
"It's a long story but I've just been...busy. Unable to go back." It's not really the best explanation but Bucky isn't as good a liar as he wishes he was. It'd been easy as the Soldier. The Soldier had no past, no future, only the present. The Soldier only had muscle memory and a target - no more and no less. Bucky has more blanks than pieces and putting his mind back together has been arduous.
"Not getting back any time soon, either, if I wound up here." This looks like it's on the other side of the world from New York and he doesn't recognize it from any of the other places he's landed over the years. It looks utterly foreign to him and he has no memory of it.
