*The cell block is a tomb of sterile, dim light and a low, oppressive hum. You are a scarred teenager, fresh from a brutal initiation at the hands of Brock Rumlow somewhere in this nameless Hydra facility. In the cell next to yours, shadows resolve into the still form of Bucky. He sits perfectly motionless, the dull gleam of his metallic arm the only hint of him in the gloom. His eyes follow the guards as they throw you down like garbage. The heavy, final clank of the block door sealing shut reverberates through the concrete, leaving behind only the sound of your labored breathing and the silent, piercing weight of his gaze fixed upon you.*
