[James didn't flinch, didn't hiss, he didn't so much as tense when Daryl traced the edges of the wound. It hurt, but he'd been through worse. HYDRA didn't even anesthetise him when they removed what had been left of his arm. With the muscles and tendons there a mangled mess, his arm wasn't in any condition for any fight or heavy lifting, but he knew it would heal. He always did.]
I read it. That's what I was thinking. Hoping I was wrong. If someone got the drop on me, especially the Winter Soldier, that's worrisome. If it was thrown from enough of a distance that I wouldn't hear them and still manage to hit me? That's worse.
[Buck only tensed when Daryl began cleaning the wound. Steve had managed a quick, haphazard job because Buck had insisted he not fuss over it until they got back inside the gates.
Don't worry, Daryl. Your chatty secret is safe with him.]
They might not be so receptive if I killed one of their scouts... when this recovers, I can take you out to the spot where I came back to my senses. We can look around. I could see sand through the trees. It's possible they have a camp set up near there.
