Steve knew what was waiting outside the door. If he needed help, if it even sounded like he needed helped, an entire squad of armed agents and Avengers would come through that door to subdue Bucky. They weren't like Steve who would do anything but kill the man to stop him. If they needed to take him out, they would. There was a lot riding on this.

He kept his eyes averted as the man stripped. Clearly, his modesty went out the window with his memories. Of course, he probably didn't even know what that was anymore. Steve read the files. Read about what they did to him. Undoing all of that... it was going to be grueling.

After a minute, Steve realized that Bucky wasn't going to turn the water on himself. He didn't know why. There were a number of reasons. Number one on the list was just how tightly regimented his routine had been with Hydra. He was dangerous, powerful, they would want as much control over him as they could manage.

"Do you know how the shower works?" he asked patiently. "You're welcome to turn it on yourself."
