===Reunion with an old friend and marriage===
===Reuniting Alpha-Nine and marriage===
On a mission to recruit the [[United Rebel Front]] to assist in the fight against the [[Created]], Buck was reluctantly reunited with his former friend and ally [[Michael Crespo|Mickey Crespo]]. Following the mission, Buck argued to return Mickey to service, recognizing the need for him as a soldier in the [[Created conflict]] but also acknowledging that Mickey could never be fully trusted again, especially when it came to combat missions linked the Front. Later, Buck and [[Veronica Dare]] were married aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} by [[Roland]] after Dare essentially dared Buck to marry her when she got tired of waiting for him to propose.<ref name="Bad Blood" />
After returning to the ''Infinity'', Buck was reunited with Dare who recruited him for a mission to learn about the Forerunner technology on [[Cassidy III]] that allowed the [[United Rebel Front]] to cloak themselves. To Buck's anger, this required breaking [[Michael Crespo|Mickey]] out of jail as Buck was still angry with his old friend for betraying him. Buck rescued Romeo from [[Balaho]] and Vergil and [[Sadie Endesha]] from a secret ONI facility on [[Luna]] before going after Mickey alone at the [[Spartan-IV training station]] where Mickey was imprisoned. Buck's anger at his old friend led to Buck blowing up at him and seriously considering leaving Mickey behind. Buck decided to shut down the station's AI [[Leonidas]] who was suspected to be compromised. Leonidas attempted to stop Buck, going so far as to declare him a rogue Spartan and threatening to kill everyone on the station if he didn't surrender. Thanks to the timely intervention of Vergil, Buck managed to shut Leonidas down and destroyed the AI's [[data crystal chip]] to keep him from being rebooted. With the occupants of the station after him due to Leonidas, Buck struggled to escape with Mickey only to receive unexpected help from [[Taylor Miles|Dutch]] and [[Gretchen Ketola]] who were training on the station. With his team reunited, Buck escaped and to his relief, was contacted by [[Jun-A266|Jun]] who Buck had feared was dead. Buck evaded Jun's questions about his actions, but warned Jun of the possibility of a [[Guardian]] coming after the station. Jun thanked Buck for helping him regain control of the station and promised not to forget what Buck did for him. Jun acknowledged that he knew that Buck had helped Mickey to escape, but also acknowledged the circumstances surrounding it and told Buck that Mickey was his responsibility.

With his team reunited, Buck led them to Cassidy III where they witnessed Dare negotiate with Mayor Wells. Buck's knowledge of Dare's mannerisms allowed him to tell when she was lying and he continued to clash with Mickey over Mickey's betrayal. When Leonidas summoned a Guardian to the planet, Buck and Alpha-Nine helped with the evacuation and Buck and Mickey finally reached an understanding with each other. During their escape in a [[Condor]], Buck helped Vergil conduct repairs, but almost fell out of the ship to his death. Buck was saved by his teammates, including Mickey to his surprise. Grateful to his friend, Buck agreed to help keep him out of jail for the time being at least despite knowing that Mickey could never be fully trusted again.
 
After returning to the ''Infinity'', Buck met with Laskey and Palmer on the mission. To their surprise, Buck advocated for Mickey and got them to agree to allow Mickey to remain free, though all three agreed that Mickey couldn't be trusted with missions regarding the Front. While Buck admitted that he might be able to forgive Mickey, he would never forget what he had done. Buck later talked with Locke about the Mickey situation and admitted that he had blamed himself for Mickey's defection, but finally understood that it wasn't his fault. With Buck's confidence in his leadership skills restored, Buck stated that if he was asked to lead Alpha-Nine again instead of being a part of Fireteam Osiris he'd be fine with it.
 
Buck later joined his two teams in celebrating in a bar on the ''Infinity''. Dare essentially dared Buck to marry her, knowing that he would never propose if she didn't make a move. Buck agreed and was surprised when Dare immediately began preparing to be married through an automated program on a bar tablet. When Buck asked about getting Lasky to marry them, [[Roland]] interrupted to offer to marry them instead. With Roland assuring him that such a ceremony would still be legal, Buck, who held affection for the AI due to his rejection of Cortana and the Created, agreed. Buck and Dare were then married by Roland which was witnessed by their friends from Fireteam Osiris and Alpha-Nine.<ref name="Bad Blood" />
 
===Leader of Alpha-Nine once more===
Soon after Buck's honeymoon, the restored Alpha-Nine was sent on another classified mission. After all the hardships the team had gone through, they worked together better than ever much to Buck's happiness.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''', ''pages 330-331''</ref>
