    Summary

    Bucky took a sip of water.

    He screwed the cap back on the bottle.

    He crushed the bottle between his hands.

    He forced himself to set it back down on the table.

    “Bucky? Are you going to answer the question?”

    He looked up, at the lights and the faces. The cameras and the phones.

    “Can you repeat it?” he said.

    The reporter sighed but repeated their question.

    “Can you tell us what kind of impact this will have on your season?”

    Bucky took another sip of water.

    “No,” he said after swallowing.

    “‘No’?” The reporter repeated incredulously.

    Bucky shrugged.

    Summary

    “I feel like literally, actually saving the world has given you unrealistic expectations. Most folks don’t need you to save the entire world on the regular, Sam," said Sarah.

    “I hear you,” said Sam, rueful. He sighed and tipped his head back, pressing the heels of his hands against his eyes. “But I still kind of feel like I have to save the entire world, if I’m carrying this shield.”

    “Sam,” said Bucky, and Sam lowered his hands and opened his eyes to look at him, only to find himself the subject of Bucky’s staring problem yet again. “Let’s just go out there. See who we can help, how."

    Taking on the Captain America mantle is all well and good, but unfortunately, it quickly becomes pretty obvious to Sam that carrying the shield doesn't guarantee a paying gig as a superhero—at least, not any kind of job that fits with the kind of Cap Sam wants to be. But when it comes down to it, all Sam wants to do is use the shield to help people, so paying gig or not, he and Bucky set out on the road to do just that, and to figure out what kind of superheroes they want to be. Slowly but surely, they figure out just what kind of partners they want to be too. (Hint: it is not 'just a couple of guys.')

    Summary

    It was dark. Peter couldn’t see anything, nor move his limbs; this was feeling a lot more like a kidnapping than an arrest.

    It was only when he heard the sloshing of water against metal that it fully hit him, and the accompanying fear sunk icy claws into his heart.

    He was being taken to the Raft.

    Tony Stark hoped that with the split of the Avengers and half of the team on the run, the Accords would fizzle out. Unfortunately, the opposite happened, and the committee decided to expand the Accords even more to encompass all enhanced vigilantes, no matter their level of involvement (read: Spider-Man).

    One of the proposed laws would involve unmasking and regulating all such individuals, with one exception: a signing member of the Accords could elect to sponsor them, at the risk of their own reputation if things went sideways. So Tony signed for Spider-Man. The kid had solid morals. What could possibly go wrong?

    Answer: Peter gets involved with alien tech, splits open a Staten Island ferry, crashes Tony’s plane into Coney Island, and gets thrown into a max security prison in the middle of the ocean. In that order.

    Tony has to see Steve Rogers' face again much sooner than he anticipated.

    Summary

    “Nah, it’s fine, I—“ Wait, what was that? Bucky stopped in his tracks. He’d heard something, something that didn’t fit with the usual ambient clamor of the city, something that had all his instincts on edge.

    “Buck? You there? Hello?”

    “Yeah, sorry, I just heard something.” A whimper? A baby crying? There it was again, a soft and agonizingly pleading little sound that sounded hurt and scared.

    “Shit, it’s the aliens,” said Sam. “Buck, be careful—“

    “You literally just said there was no alien invasion situation,” said Bucky absently, turning slowly until he could pinpoint the sound better.

    There. A cat—or more accurately, a kitten.

    Bucky finds a cat that might be more than it seems. Sam and Bucky find a home together, and that might be more than it seems too.

    Summary

    The money he'd stolen from Hydra has almost run out when he finds a black piece of card stock with blocky capital letters stapled to a telephone pole:

    FUNNEL NO. 9

    DO YOU HAVE KNIFE SKILLS?

    WE NEED YOU

    And then below, there's a phone number.

    Knife skills? I have knife skills, he thinks. That part is pretty self-explanatory, though he has no idea what Funnel No. 9 could mean. He doesn't really want to get back into the hitman business, but needs must, and Bucky Barnes is a practical man.
