Summary

The Asset growled protectively. He could not allow the doctors too close. He couldn't let them suspect. He couldn't let anyone suspect. Even after the chair, he knew that. Seventy years ago, Bucky took a secret to his grave. He managed to keep it safe from Hydra, but now that he's on the run, it's getting harder and harder to keep his secret.Steve hasn't stopped looking for Bucky.
