Summary
“He died when that thing came down,” Jack said again, a little more firmly this time, adding a gentle push of his palm against Brock’s chest. “He’s dead. There’s no way he made it out.”
Before the morphine dragged him back under, Brock made him come just a little bit closer. Just close enough that Jack would hear him when he growled out four final, terrified words, desperately hoping that Jack understood how helpless he felt. How afraid.
“I made it out.”
-----
Brock Rumlow wakes up in a hospital, burned in the collapse of the Triskelion but somehow alive. He has to come to terms with his past, with his own guilt, and with the visits of a confused, lost Winter Soldier, desperately looking for direction after the fall of HYDRA.
(CW for rape/HYDRA trash party in chapter 7 only. The only named character involved is Bucky, and it is completely skippable without altering the story.)
Thank you to Marvel Trumps Hate and also to my giftee, Mech, who has tolerated a full two year wait for this fic to be finished.
