    Summary

    When SHIELD has to have an operative psychologically evaluated by a third-party medical professional, they do it for free by harassing Bucky Barnes. He's one of the few and the proud that agreed to let SHIELD purchase and forgive his student loan debt. He thought it was amazing at first. Then SHIELD started pressuring him to clear heavily traumatized and mentally ill agents for duty. He can recommend desk duty and they'll find some one-liner from his report to excuse anything.

    This time, however, Bucky can't let that happen. This time, SHIELD wants him to declare the freshly revived Captain America fit for combat. But Steve Rogers considers himself broken beyond repair.

    He isn't. And he doesn't need to work for SHIELD, anyway.
