#CA:WS with a Side of Clint and a Large Helping of Alpine

[lynlee494]

Chapter Seven is now available!

The Soldier’s understanding of the world begins to unravel after he completes a mission and finds a helpless and shivering kitten. Unable to leave, knowing the frail thing will die in the elements, the Soldier makes a choice...

Overwhelmed and now hiding from his handler's, things only get more complicated when he lays eyes on a picture of a familiar blonde face..

The Soldier can not risk contact, capture, and the inevitable return to Hydra and captivity would bring. He may remember Steve Rogers, but he also remembers Captain America. Similarly enhanced, the Captain would have the advantage, the Soldier’s movement would be limited with the kitten’s safety to consider.

He’ll seek out Steve Rogers, who seems to feature in nearly every memory with Bucky, but he’ll be cautious. Can hopefully glean from the exposure more about the time before Bucky – before he – was presumed dead in a war. From before Steve’s Bucky became Hydra’s, time stuttering by till the Soldier was born.

Now.

Clint Barton arrives in faded jeans and a rumpled shirt that reads ‘Sorry I’m Late. Had To Get To A Save Point’, letting out a startled yelp when Steve opens the door and yanks him inside. With Clint regaining his balance behind him, Steve gives a quick glance to the alley and finds it still vacant. The urge to just walk out there, to not stop until he finds Bucky itches under his skin. Yet he closes the door firmly against the view of the street.
