Summary
In which the Soldier makes a very long journey, the Captain takes on a new role, the Widow pays a visit to an old friend, Iron Man is a hot mess, and the Falcon is very done with everyone.
__________
It would be so simple to complete the mission.
So simple to acquire acceptable clothing – there were entire supply closets full of the medical uniforms – to cover the prosthesis with sterile gloves, blend in with the hospital personnel, wait until the change of guard to enter the Captain’s room. To slit his throat, press the hands over his mouth until his breath ran out, tamper with the intravenous medications, or introduce air into the veins. It had done these things many times before. Deaths in medical centers were easily disguised, and he had been so weak, so heavily damaged when it…
It pulled him from the river. Why had it pulled him from the river?

Summary
How can a broken multi-tool comply when handlers give faulty orders? This was not the reconditioning process it was used to. What does it mean to be 'okay' and to 'want' and why does it matter so much?

Summary
After he drags Captain America out of the Potomac, he wonders where to go from here. Briefly he considers fleeing, but he understands better than anyone that the world is not wide enough, not secretive enough to hide him. There is not a nation that could shelter him from sight, not a roof he could be safe under. So instead of running, he stays with Rogers.
Sam Wilson, codename Falcon, discovers them.//

Summary
The shivering figure in the cell corner had stopped screaming now that Natasha had stopped speaking to him, and instead was just shuffling himself helplessly into his corner. Shudders raced randomly over his body like electric shocks, making his half-twisted spine twitch under his skin.
“What did he say?” Tony asked.
Natasha closed her eyes. “Numbers. He was repeating numbers.”
“What numbers?”
“Three two five five seven zero three eight.”
“Which means?”
She opened her eyes, the green flashing.
“What numbers would any prisoner be chanting? It’s a serial number, dumbass.”
Tony already had Jarvis running the numbers through a military database, and before she had finished speaking, Jarvis had fed a name to him.
Tony slipped his helmet down to stare blankly at Nat.
“...It can’t really be him,” he said, as if hoping she’d agree and have a different, reasonable explanation. “He shouldn’t have survived that long.”
“I know.”
“He CAN’T have survived that long.”
“Steve did,” she said softly.
