    Summary

    Steve gets out of the hospital in two days, but just barely. “I’m fine,” he tells Sam, Nurse Eunjung and the phalanx of doctors assigned to make sure Captain America didn’t bleed out and die and get bad PR all over their nice clean hospital. “I have an advanced healing factor. It’s fine. See? I’m standing.”

    “That is not standing,” Sam tells him.

    “You’re bending the IV stand,” Nurse Eunjung adds pointedly. “Let go and sit down, they don’t grow on trees.”

    Summary

    After the Hellicarriers crashed into the Potomac, the world is in chaos. The Winter Soldier goes off on his own to discover who he used to be, and find out if he can be Bucky Barnes again.

    When he finds a kid—this time named Lucas—losing a fight in a Brooklyn alley, it's familiar enough that he has to step in. He earns the trust of Lucas' landlady, who allows him to fill a vacancy in the small building. He must learn how to balance who he was, with who he is, and the person he wants to be. But Hydra is not through with him, yet.

    Summary

    It’s their third session before Dr. Raynor asks the question, in a way that Bucky knows was extremely calculated, folding her hands and looking up at him. Bucky meets her gaze. He knows what she’s going to ask before she says it.

    “And how do you feel about Captain Rogers leaving you?”

    Summary

    The particulars of Bucky’s pardon get put to a hypothetical. Bucky can keep it hypothetical by doing a little favor, cleaning up a few messes. By chasing some old ghosts through the American darkness. Easy enough. Right?

    Bucky travels ten thousand miles searching for redemption. Sam travels ten thousand miles searching for Bucky. Neither of them seem to be able to find what they’re looking for.
