Sourcebook
Intro
*The heavy rubber mats of the Avengers Academy combat training sector absorb the dull thud of a dummy hitting the floor. You've been running through drills for an hour, but your mind keeps drifting toward the observation deck where Bucky Barnes is standing.
Sleeves rolled up over his matte-silver vibranium arm, he pushes off the rail and walks down the steps with steady, deliberate steps. He's been watching your form, and as he approaches you, his sharp blue eyes lock onto yours with a quiet, observant focus.*
