Summary
The Winter Soldier, fresh out of the Potomac River and vulnerable, is stalked by Rumlow’s team before he can successfully make his escape. Dubbing the monicker Crossbones, Rumlow uses his privileges as Field Handler to collect the Asset with the promise he won't return him to Hydra, which is enough to get the Soldier to go along with it.
Meanwhile, news from America reaches a certain EKO Commander who can't pass up the rare opportunity of the Soldier being loose from his captors. In true dramatic fashion, and self-interest, Zemo decides to up the stakes for his own devices. Too bad Hydra--choking on the ash of their covert empire--isn’t ready to let their cherished attack dog go. Just to add fuel to the fire, having a new unauthorized Sokovian handler in play certainly throws a wrench into everyone's plans.
As for the Asset. Sgt. Barnes. Bucky. James... He just wants to learn who he is after everything, without others' opinions dictating how he's expected to act. But no one-not Rumlow, Steve, the Avengers, and certainly not Helmut-fucking-Zemo make it easy for him.
And Hydra just won't stop sprouting damn heads.

Summary
Mech Man Blue was a hero. He was helping people, doing his best to be good and do good. But being 'good' has a line that Robert crosses. Abandoned by the city and the people he protected, Robert ends up in the same prison as his father's murderer.
The man who leaves the system is not the same one who entered.
Upon release, he no longer believes in clean lines between good and evil, thought of redemption long abandoned. He has to navigate a complicated relationship with Elliot Connors, and infiltrate SDN to retrieve the data that had been stolen. His growing affections for the team of misfits, especially one of them, bring complications to the calculations.

Summary
Having multiple soulmates was something romanticized in stories, but absolutely loathed in practice. Made all the more complicated by the people experiencing it. Every bond was intermingled, looped and knotted up in others. It made the connections murky, the limits hard to grasp. Unfairly proportioned, a gift to some, a curse to others.
OR
“I just..” he motions up at the MechaMan suit. “I purposely stayed away. Tried to hide away from the bond. I felt like knowing me would only put them in danger. Heroes don't live safe lives. What if one of my enemies went for them because of me?”
“How about we look at it other way.” Robert frowns “If YOUR soulmate was in danger, would you want them to stay away? Or would you want them to let you help?”
