    Summary

    Betty is at Culver when the sky rips open above Manhattan, and then she sees the Hulk tear across the city's skyline with a furious roar.

    She can't say that she's entirely surprised.

    [The story wherein Betty sees the Hulk on TV during the Chitauri Invasion and heads to Manhattan with just her lab coat and a plan. It all kind of works out in the end.]

    Summary

    He's just scruffy enough that most people would avoid eye contact in case he asked them for change. But his eyes are startling blue and stark and wild, and he looks at Sam and Sam looks at him, and yeah. Turns out he knows where Bucky is after all.

    Except, Sam reminds himself, this isn't Bucky. This is the Winter Soldier, who's gone completely, absolutely still like an animal trying to decide whether to attack or run. And Sam is suddenly, terribly aware of all the people around them: all the tourists and the kids on their field trips; all the families with their babies and toddlers; all the sentimental fools like him come to visit Captain America on an overcast Wednesday afternoon.

    But Sam has also seen that expression on the men and women who come to his counseling sessions. He's seen it in the mirror more times than he cares to count. He knows that kind of fear and pain, just like he knows that the man who was once James Buchanan Barnes could have already killed him. Killed as many people as he wanted to, and run.

    He could have, but he didn't.
