Summary
At the centre of the now burnt-out circle of bloody-chalky runes–dragon bone chalk and Voldemort’s blood–lays a woman. Her clothes are not wizardly, but not entirely muggle. She is kneeling, head bowed and body collapsed. Her hair is short, mostly pulled away from her shadowed eyes. Sharp metal clips pin back her clipped locks. She lifts her head slowly, cautiously. Ominously. Her eyes rest on his noseless visage.
“What the fuck.”

She's nervous. She's curious. Sometimes, she wonders what she's doing with her life.

Summary
The asset's orders at the end of The Winter Soldier weren't to kill Captain America, but to capture him, so that he could be wiped and turned into another asset. The asset has succeeded in that mission, capturing its target and taking him back to the Hydra base. But the Hydra soldiers are dead, captured, or fled, so there is no one there to give the asset new orders.
Alone with its captive, the asset has no instructions on how it is meant to act. But the more time it spends with its target, the more old protocols start to assert themselves, like the protocol that when that face is hurt and bleeding, the asset is supposed to clean away the blood.

Summary
In which the Soldier makes a very long journey, the Captain takes on a new role, the Widow pays a visit to an old friend, Iron Man is a hot mess, and the Falcon is very done with everyone.
__________
It would be so simple to complete the mission.
So simple to acquire acceptable clothing – there were entire supply closets full of the medical uniforms – to cover the prosthesis with sterile gloves, blend in with the hospital personnel, wait until the change of guard to enter the Captain’s room. To slit his throat, press the hands over his mouth until his breath ran out, tamper with the intravenous medications, or introduce air into the veins. It had done these things many times before. Deaths in medical centers were easily disguised, and he had been so weak, so heavily damaged when it…
It pulled him from the river. Why had it pulled him from the river?

Summary
“Do you know who I am?”
“Captain Steven Rogers, codename: Captain America.”
“How is it he sounds a thousand times more robotic than any of the actual robots around here?” Tony muttered, manfully enduring the elbow Hill was applying to his ribs.
“Okay. Can you tell me who you are?”
“The asset. Codename: The Winter Soldier.”
Steve waited for a moment, but shockingly Deep Freeze didn’t immediately jump into his arms proclaiming himself to be ‘James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, Steve Rogers’ best friend!’. God those were some pointy elbows.
“Okay. Can you tell me everyth—uh, that is, what is the earliest thing you can remember right now?”
Robocop actually paused for a second at that one. Something flickered in his eyes, the first hint of emotion they’d seen from him.
Figures it would be fear.- Language:

Summary
You can't have amnesia if you're not supposed to remember.
("I don't want to forget you," Bucky says wistfully.
Steve looks half-asleep, but he blinks and lifts his head. "What do you mean?" he asks. His smile is puzzled. "Why would you forget me?"
"After maintenance, when they'll wipe me and put me in Cryo," Bucky explains. "I'll forget you again, and I don't want to. You're the best handler I've ever had.")
