    Summary

    The Soldier knew protocol. A failed mission meant punishment, then the Chair, then cryo. He had to go collect punishment, to ensure proper function on the next mission. It would be a risk, going back to the Vault. Insight had been compromised, communication was down. The Soldier did not know if the Vault was safe. The head hurt. He had been out of cryo too long. The words of the Captain on the helicarrier had damaged the neurological function. He would need the Chair to return to working condition. The Chair was in the Vault.

     

    ****

    In which the Winter Soldier grapples with his newly found freedom, Steve Rogers tries to deal, and Sam Wilson wonders if maybe he should have skipped that morning run

    Summary

    “There’s a body in the garden.”

    The words were spoken calmly, while Bucky kept his eyes locked onto the gangly form prostrate in the dirt outside. When he’d spotted it in a casual pass of the window, he’d experienced shock for all of half a second before he’d quickly transitioned into acceptance and wariness.

    He stepped back from the window as Steve rushed up, a damp blue dish towel in his hands. Steve’s eyes immediately narrowed in on the form that was face down by the tomato plants. It was a good sign that Bucky wasn’t hallucinating, and a bad sign in that it meant the corpse in the garden was real.

    Steve gave Bucky a look, the corners of his mouth sternly downturned.

    “I didn’t put it there,” Bucky said, just in case that was in question.

    ----------

    A mostly-dead Loki shows up face-planted in Bucky’s garden one day while Steve’s over for lunch. (Throws Infinity War/Endgame deaths and other parts of canon out the window.)

    Summary

    The Soldier stutters forward, placing its metal hand upon the bedsheets. "Permission to speak," it croaks.

     

    "Granted." The handler holds its gaze.

     

    "What...what is my mission?"

     

    The handler considers for a moment, then: "Effective immediately, your mission is to obtain optimal levels of hydration, caloric intake, and sleep for at least seven continuous days. Understood?"

     

    The Soldier nods. This is a test of its self-sufficiency. Its new owners want to know what it functions like at peak performance. Furthermore, the Soldier suspects that its owners want it to acclimate to these luxuries.

     

    So they can take them all away again.
    ***
    After the fall of SHIELD, the Avengers bring a shivering, starving Winter Soldier to the Tower. This is the story of the recovery of Bucky Barnes.
