Steve sounded rough, to put it mildly. It didn't take a pararescue like Sam to hear it. But still. "I'm going to come in, I hope your friend doesn't try to shoot me."
Good thing he'd insisted on bringing even a small med kit with him. But he hadn't been expecting to walk around the corner and see what he saw. Steve, sitting up, bloody and clutching his side and lying not ten feet away, very still and definitely watching his every movement... the Winter Soldier.
He was lying in his side, curled into a ball, and made no move to try to sit up or reach for a weapon when Sam approached.
"We need to get you to the hospital, Steve."
There was something about the Soldier that seemed off, though. He was trembling, a little, all over, and wasn't looking directly at Sam or Steve, but rather had his attention focused on the door he'd come through.
Something about the Soldier made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. It was eerily familiar to the way he felt when meeting an unbonded Guide the first time, but the Soldier was definitely not actually a Guide...
"Lay back, I'll get you something for the pain. Maria, we're going to need medical."
"Everybody's busy, but I'm sure an ambulance will come."
