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. He's running himself ragged, and the Avengers are worried. But Steve won't fail Bucky again.

Steve

Bucky had always been there for him through thick and thin. He'd been there when he was belittled and bullied. He'd been there when he'd been too sick to breathe. He'd been there when his ma died.

Steve had never deserved him. He'd never been there for Buck when he actually needed him. He hadn't been there for him when he'd been captured by Hydra. He hadn't been there when Zola tortured him. He hadn't been there when Bucky when fell off that damn train. And he hadn't been there for the last seventy years when Bucky needed him the most.

He didn't blame Bucky for staying away. He couldn't because he'd failed Bucky too many times to count. But he couldn't give up on Bucky either. He'd promised until the end of the line; this couldn't be their ending.
