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.

"He thought it was a trap, Tony realised with a sudden, sick clarity. It wasn’t just conditioning—he thought it was the fucking Kobayashi Maru."

Summary
The mathematics of it don't make sense. You do not continue to sink costs into retrieving and repairing an irreparably broken asset. Not when more viable options are open to you.

the cold calculus of war
The mathematics of it don't make sense. You do not continue to sink costs into retrieving and repairing an irreparably broken asset. Not when more viable options are open to you."Still, the mathematics of it don’t make sense. It’s not something Pierce would have ever done, and Pierce valued him. (Your work has shaped the century.) You do not continue to sink costs into retrieving and repairing an irreparably broken asset. Not when more viable options are open to you.
It is a cold calculus, but it is the only way that the Winter Soldier knows how to understand other people."
"But now the Winter Soldier understands what Bucky already suspected. Steve was in love with him. That is the missing piece of the equation, the irrational number that makes the rest make sense.
Of course Steve will throw everything he has into retrieving his lover. Love destroys your capacity to think. The Winter Soldier has seen innocents throw themselves into his sights to protect the ones they love, even though a bullet can pass through two people."

Summary
‘I…’ The soldier begins, and then coughs a little, his voice rough from disuse. ‘Can I… Have a glass… Of milk?’
Steve watches him quizzically, before his gaze softens, and he nods.Bookmarked by HappySadDragon

Summary
Sometimes, when you come home, there's a Very Large Dog in your yard. Sometimes, if you're Steve Rogers, the dog isn't a dog. It's Bucky Barnes, a SHIELD agent who's hiding from HYDRA, because it was the only way to shake their Tracker.
Steve has no idea the dog's a SHIELD agent on the run from HYDRA, but he is starting to suspect that the dog? Isn't really a dog.

Summary
The asset knows that maintenance is better than punishment. But with Steve, maintenance becomes more pleasant, soft and gentle and everything he could dream of. It was only natural that he decided to prolong that maintenance a little longer.
