    Summary

    The asset is programmed not to strike a handler. Not to struggle no matter who is doing what to it. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to shy away when technicians approach torch-first to take it apart and put it back together in the name of science, research, progress. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to object to the mouth guard, the restraints, the chair. Not to beg or plead when it is left empty and hungry in its cryo tube. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to so much as consider harming an operator, the highest of all members of the organization. And...

    And if the silent, liquid fury in the asset’s eyes is any indicator, the asset does not comply.

    (Or: The one where the asset is thawed out during the Chitauri attack on New York, escapes, and goes hunting for revenge with the Avengers hot on the trail.)

    Summary

    “I’m Captain Rogers,” Steve said, once the Winter Soldier had joined them and took off his motorcycle helmet, shaking his mane of hair free. “You must be the Winter Soldier.”

    “That’s what they call me,” the Winter Soldier replied. His mask took up three quarters of his face and his eyes were hidden behind a pair of goggles, but Steve could still hear the hostility in his voice.

    Steve pasted on a smile and stuck out a hand for him to shake. “Welcome to the Avengers.”

    Summary

    day 9; kidnapping

     

    Quin won’t tell him where they’re going, and it unsettles Fox. He’s used to knowing everything, planning everything.

     

    “Quin?” he says. “Will you tell me where we’re going, now?”

     

    There’s silence in the cabin. “Go back to sleep, Fox,” Quinlan says finally, and turns his back to Fox, settling deeper into the ship’s tiny berth.

    DV-502: you weren’t on Bespin ☹
    RX-7567: I told you I wouldn’t be. We do not appreciate what you have done to our Solo. Please reverse course.
    DV-502: he is annoying.
    RX-7567: so are you.

     
    (In which the clones save the galaxy through Rex's misguided crush, a no-longer-private message channel, and a literal memory chip.)
