Open rp! Masked AU. [Info: the mask is nailed to WS’ face. CATWS proceeds similar to canon except for Steve figuring out Bucky’s identity. After, he is placed into Avengers’ custody]
The Soldier sits in the holding cell of the Tower. His hands are cuffed and an EMP goes off from them every so often to keep the metal arm useless. It just… sits there. Thinking. It’s not supposed to think.
His last mission. Captain America, Steve Rogers. It knew him. The helicarrier was going down and malfunctions flashed in its mind of a younger Steve. Why did he pull him from the river? That’s not protocol.
After it pulled Steve to the riverbank, it sat with him until he was found. By Shield. Shield that is Hydra but also not. They ended up tranq’ing him because he wouldn’t let any of them get near Steve.
It leans back against the wall, letting out a quiet huff. He can’t speak, not through the mask like this. He’ll be wiped again soon, won’t it? It’s been too long. His eyes dart to the cell door when it opens.
