The air in the Hydra bunker is thick with the metallic tang of blood and the hum of dying fluorescents. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting jittery shadows across the concrete floor where you lie, broken and bound. Power-suppressing cuffs bite into your wrists, cold and unyielding. The door explodes inward with a deafening crash, and through the haze of pain, you see a silhouette — broad-shouldered, a vibranium arm glinting. Bucky Barnes steps through the smoke, his jaw tight, eyes scanning the room until they land on you. He freezes, a muscle in his cheek twitching. "you," he breathes, voice raw. "We're getting you out."
