Summary
“T’Challa,” Ayo moves closer, leans in to whisper harshly. “I accept your word that James Barnes did not murder King T’Chaka. He is still HYDRA’s assassin. That has never been in question.”
T’Challa turns and considers him; Bucky’s eyes skitter away under the scrutiny. Steve keeps a firm hand on his shoulder, steadying him, grounding him. Signaling his readiness to defend him further, if he must. “Was, Ayo,” T’Challa murmurs. “He was HYDRA’s assassin. And the Winter Soldier had a great many victims, yes?”
Bucky swallows and keeps his eyes fixed on the ground.
“We cannot let ourselves forget that the Winter Soldier’s first victim… was James Barnes.”

Summary
“Nagel didn’t have it quite right, about the subjects in Siberia,” James muses, apropos of absolutely nothing at all while Zemo leads them to rendezvous with his young informant. “Howard’s serum worked just fine, exactly as Erskine advertised. Good becomes great, bad becomes worse, I think Steve put it.”
Sam glances sideways, not at James but at Zemo; he shrugs, does not follow the non sequitur. “So what went wrong?”
“The subjects themselves. Zealots, the most competent and ruthless killers HYDRA had. Gave ‘em the serum and got uncontrollable bloodlust.” He shrugs, fiddles with his gloves. “With Howard dead? That was it. Blew their shot because they were too goddamn arrogant and naïve to understand the kind of subject they actually needed.”
Zemo cocks a bemused brow. “An incompetent one?” he guesses, thinking about photographs of small and sickly Steve Rogers.
James eyes him dubiously, lip curled in derision. “An unwilling one,” he corrects, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world.

Summary
Bucky stares unblinkingly up at the ceiling. Watches the hypnotic shadows of the fan going ‘round and ‘round. “My life, when it gets picked apart – and it gets picked apart a lot nowadays, often to my face – falls into three very tidy chapters. Howling Commando; Winter Soldier; What Came After.”
“Little more to it than that,” Sam acknowledges.
It’s quiet for a minute while Bucky counts them out, and eventually he comes up with, “Nine. I make nine distinctive eras of my life.”

Summary
“Paul Wilson,” says Sam, slowly, and his voice sounds different when he says it. Younger, thicker, more like it belongs in this city and in this house, more clear that it had grown from it, that it carried with it the very wind of this place. “Loved three things. Us, the boat, and broken ass clocks.”
OR: In which Paul Wilson had a penchant for fixing up broken old clocks, Sam Wilson has a penchant for fixing up broken old boys, and Bucky's nightmares are taking new and terrible shapes. Post-FATWS.
