    Summary

    Ten years ago, Bucky disappeared.

    Now, Steve has built a life without him—teaching art, and trying not to wonder what became of the boy who once meant everything to him.

    Then one night, in the middle of the city, he sees him.

    But the man Steve finds isn’t the boy he knew. Bucky is volatile, paranoid, and hiding something behind a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He chain-smokes, talks to things that aren’t there, and sometimes forgets where he is.

    What starts as a chance encounter becomes something far more complicated as Steve begins to piece together the past Bucky’s too scared to tell—and the present he’s trying to survive.

    Or, the story of how Bucky lost his arm and fell in love with his childhood best friend.

    Summary

    The Soldier knew protocol. A failed mission meant punishment, then the Chair, then cryo. He had to go collect punishment, to ensure proper function on the next mission. It would be a risk, going back to the Vault. Insight had been compromised, communication was down. The Soldier did not know if the Vault was safe. The head hurt. He had been out of cryo too long. The words of the Captain on the helicarrier had damaged the neurological function. He would need the Chair to return to working condition. The Chair was in the Vault.

    Summary

    The Soldier stutters forward, placing its metal hand upon the bedsheets. "Permission to speak," it croaks.

     

    "Granted." The handler holds its gaze.

     

    "What...what is my mission?"

     

    The handler considers for a moment, then: "Effective immediately, your mission is to obtain optimal levels of hydration, caloric intake, and sleep for at least seven continuous days. Understood?"

     

    The Soldier nods. This is a test of its self-sufficiency. Its new owners want to know what it functions like at peak performance. Furthermore, the Soldier suspects that its owners want it to acclimate to these luxuries.

     

    So they can take them all away again.
