It’s always the weapons. Always. Steve’s hardy-- always has been, even before the experiment-- but his skin isn’t invincible. As easy as it is to pretend he isn’t hurt when he’s got adrenaline pumping through his veins, pain slams into him like a train like it would anyone else once that adrenaline fades.

That, and the slightest guilt that Bucky has to suffer for his stupidity.

His ruined suit is off to the side, a huge rip in its back from the bomb that nearly got him. He’s lucky his helm’s otherwise unscathed (if that were ruined, he’d have to head back to base to get it fixed), but the operation could’ve been better overall. Then again, considering he and Bucky haven’t worked together in decades, never mind the fact that they’ve both got awful constitutions of memory, maybe he shouldn’t be surprised they aren’t quite as seamless as they once were.

Still, Bucky had been able to protect the civilians from the blast with Captain America’s shield. The burns on Steve’s back are, as always, worth having in comparison to the alternative.

It doesn’t stop him from hissing as Bucky’s hands apply the salve on his injuries. It hurts, and he’s not impervious to pain, and his burns are bad. Steve had only just stopped smelling like barbecue maybe a few minutes earlier, grotesque as that sounds, and while he’ll heal relatively quick, it doesn’t make the sting and the faint feeling of being cooked any less painful.

Steve’s hand curls into a fist where it rests on his thigh, but he stays obediently still. Sweat drips down his cheek, though.
