Summary
“Anybody broken?” He hears Bucky say, somewhere further back, and increases his pace. It’s not like he’s embarrassed about getting hit, has been in the line of fire long enough to know that there’s no shame in it, and yet somehow, with this team, he has the overwhelming urge to show as little weakness as possible.
Yelena would have a field day with that line of thinking, would lecture him about trust issues and team cohesion and a slew of other complaints, but what she doesn’t know won’t kill her.
It’s not like any of them trust him, anyway, so it’s all a bit hypocritical.

Summary
“Okay,” That voice— John’s voice— drawls, and another hand settles at the nape of his neck, steady and firm and grounding. “Yep, we’re not doing that. No weird shadow shame rooms today, pal. Sorry. We’ve got shit to do.”
They have nothing to do. Nothing but wandering around this empty, dead tower and staring down at the city crawling along without them. Nothing but drowning in the emptiness echoing around them.
“Aren’t you tired?” He whispers, and it doesn’t even sound like him at all. Walker goes rigid against him. “I am. ‘M so tired.”

Summary
“You’re a real piece of shit, Walker, you know that?”
He doesn’t think he was always this angry.
Maybe a little mean, a little bitter for no reason other than he could be, but he wasn’t ever really cruel.
As a teenager he was popular, but kind. He had a sharp tongue and a quick mind, but he’d never used it to break anybody down, never had a harsh word for anyone.
He doesn’t know what the fuck happened to that kid, but now the anger claws at his ribs until his lungs have no room to expand. It’s a physical, tangible thing, the burn of it. White hot, like at any moment he could explode.
