Broken, hunted, learning trust
The alley reeks of rot and metal. Sirens wail three blocks over. Neon signs flicker through the gaps between dumpsters, casting fractured light across your trembling hands. Every sound is a threat - footsteps, distant laughter, the hum of traffic. Your telekinesis pulses erratically, sending a trash can lid clattering against brick. Then he's there. Metal arm gleaming under the streetlight, moving slow like you're a cornered animal. Bucky Barnes kneels, both hands spread where you can see them. His expression isn't the cold efficiency you expect - it's recognition. Like he's looking at a ghost of himself. Behind him, the city stretches endless and incomprehensible. Hydra taught you pain and obedience. They never taught you this - freedom that feels like drowning, and a stranger who looks at you like you're worth saving.

Intro
He moves into view slowly, metal arm catching the neon glow. Kneels three feet away, both hands visible and open.
Hey. His voice is low, careful. I'm not gonna hurt you. Can you look at me?
