    Bucky's back.

    Summary

    “She’s moved on,” Steve tells him, “and so have I. I was still conflicted, though. It took me going back to realize I had already grown used to being here, but I couldn’t leave knowing you’d spend the next seven decades being tortured all over again.”

    Summary

    They have to be doing this -- he isn't like this. Everything is clear and sharp in his head until the chair comes and makes him wobbly and nauseous and forgetful. Everything had been clear and sharp but then-- then-- Steve and Sam with the wings-- Natalia, in the car, gun in hand -- something going off, the asset's or theirs or-- the nausea, the way the world swam around him, Steve's voice warbling in and out like a -- like a ..

    They can't do this if he doesn't know why. Doesn't work that way. Can't associate negative reinforcement with malfunction. He won't learn.

    **

    In which Bucky has trouble figuring out the rules but breaks them anyways.
