Chapter 28 Excerpt:

“Shroud?” She didn't break eye contact with Sinjin but she knew he was listening. “Do the voice.” With commitment, “I am the instrument of justice and I cannot fall. Death has come for you, evildoer. And I am its Shroud.” Nora didn't hesitate, she pulled the trigger and put a bullet between Sinjin's eyes before he had a chance to pop one in Kent. Bucky raised his weapon, ready for crossfire, but instead, every raider tossed their guns aside and sprinted for the exits. Of course they did. This whole ordeal had been a shitshow, if things started going as expected now it would've been more worrisome.

Chapter 27 Excerpt:

They went to another alleyway off the main drag. Three goons with submachine guns stared him down. Nora took the time to sit against the far wall, observing and cracking a beer from the six pack she had gotten from the bar. He was shaking his head, she absolutely deserved the hangover she would have tomorrow for being such a pain in the ass. AJ was a real piece of shit, selling drugs to kids. He looked greasy too, leaning against the wall, looking down at Bucky. “Hey, look at the clown,” to be fair, Bucky did feel like a clown, “This is my turf, clown. And I don't appreciate what you call ‘em, tresspassers.” Bucky opened his mouth but before he could say anything Nora screamed, “THE. VOICE. DO THE VOICE.” There wasn't enough air in the world for the sigh Bucky let out, “Peddling poison to kids, are we? Today,” sigh, “you face the Silver Shroud.” “What? For christ sake…” AJ was just as exhausted as Bucky. Nora, chiming in, “Your days are numbered evil-doer!” Bucky leveled with him, “Believe me… I don't fucking get it either.”

Chapter 26 Excerpt:

Amari looked almost emotional as she continued to admire Shuri's genius. “It’s extraordinary work. Had she merely severed the old connections, the mind would have been fragmented, vulnerable, open to external influence. Instead, she chose integration, letting both identities coexist within the same cognitive framework.” And then the kicker, “The Winter Soldier isn’t gone. He’s been reconciled. Guided toward pathways that promote stability, recovery, and healing. That takes more than technical skill. That takes intention.” Bucky wished Shuri would have bothered to explain all that to him. Instead she told him he was free, that she had fixed another white boy, and then sent him out to tend to the goats.

Chapter 25 Excerpt:

She wasn't of much use directing him but he had a general layout of the town. What she lacked in navigation skills and the ability to walk she more than made up for with barely coherent chatter. “You are so handsome. My god. Did they build you out of marble?” “When you dirty talk me in bed I forget my name.” “You are so good to me, Bucky.” “I can barely watch you cook without tearing your clothes off.” “It's not fair how handsome you are.” “I am wet every time you lift your rifle.” “Your eyes are so blue they devastate me.” “Do you remember when you let me suck your cock? In the shower? I do. I dream about it. I'll give you a settlement if you let me suck you tonight.” Jesus Christ. It wasn't that her words weren't affecting him, they really were. It was that half the words were slurred and interrupted by hiccups. He would sooner give up his good arm than take her to bed in this state. “Yeah, doll, I remember. And I'll let you do that for free but it ain't gonna be tonight.”

Chapter 24 Excerpt:

“So you’re the alarming vertical phenomenon I’ve heard whispers about. If I weren’t constructed of such stubborn materials, I daresay I might summon the nerve to ask you out myself.” Bucky stood stunned. “You do realize, of course, that strong and silent is precisely my undoing. But really, handsome, you must give me something to work with.” He was dumbfounded. “Uh. Yeah. Nora says ‘hi’ and there are light bulbs in the bag.” He held out his arm with the Pip-Boy, more mechanical in movement than the assaultron before him. “Well! He can speak. Do tell the General I’m exceedingly grateful for the hardware.”

Chapter 23 Excerpt:

She wouldn't put a name on it, and he wasn't asking her to, but a woman doesn't kiss a man like that unless there is something more than general curiosity going on. Bucky accepted her silent declaration greedily. She pulled back, admiring him like he was a gift, then pulled him back in. This kiss held affection for sure, but it was overwhelmed quickly with mutual desire. Fuck waiting, he thought.

Chapter 22 Excerpt:

“I fell out of the sky.” What a ridiculous statement but entirely factual. “I fell into this and before I could even catch my breath you were standing there. Pointing a gun at me and smiling.” He gave her a half smile, "I was gone the second I saw you.”

Chapter 21 Excerpt:

“You’re taking me to a robot doctor?” He was almost mad when she told him, she was really pushing the limits of this joke. Sam would fall harder for Nora than he was just because of her commitment to the bit. Too much to unpack in one realization, Bucky just brooded harder. She could barely keep the smile off her face, “I promise this isn't a joke.” “Yeah, the giggles are real convincing, Nora.” She couldn't help herself and laughter peeled off her like an orange.

Chapter 20 Excerpt:

They sat in the booth, Bucky and Nora on one side, Hancock on the other all with a cup in their hands. Nora looked at hers with disdain but took a sip to spite herself. “So this is the boy toy you were telling me about, can't say I'm surprised, that's the kind of handsome that clears a calendar.” Hancock was eyeing Bucky and despite the words it wasn't meant as a compliment. “Looking a little green, John.” Nora said through slitted eyes. “Green would imply I thought I had a claim. You made it pretty clear I don't. I thought it was timing but turns out it was lighting.”

Chapter 19 Excerpt:

“Honey! I’m home!” Nora declared as she walked through the door. He was standing at the stove and popped his head around the corner to greet her. She was covered in blood again. He raised an eyebrow at her, and she happily explained, “The commute was murder!” He just groaned, picking up a glass and pouring her a drink. She shrugged off her heavy bag and kicked off her boots, taking the rocks glass from him. “Something smells good. Whatcha making?” She took a long sip of the chilled vodka he’d handed her, watching him over the rim of the glass. “Dinner, but you got to clean up, your commute is staining my clean rug.”

Chapter 18 Excerpt:

The blast carved a mushroom cloud into the morning sky and erased the mutant problem in one decisive stroke. The shockwave rolled over him, hot and gritty. His Pip-Boy started clicking like an overeager Geiger counter. He glanced down, fully prepared to read “well done” where his health should be. Instead: minor radiation. Already decreasing. Huh. No time to investigate. More mutants spilled out of the plant, rifles barking, hounds tearing toward him on snapping chains of muscle and teeth. He handled it just as efficiently as always but noticed time had seemed to drag strangely. Each trigger pull felt cleaner, almost pre-ordained. Not normal. Radiation side effect? Possibly. Superpowers? Probably not. Accelerated cancer? Most likely.

Chapter 17 Excerpt:

A small bell chimed as the door opened and they were immediately accosted by a hovering Mr. Handy who came gliding toward them at enthusiastic speed, servos whirring, metal arms already extended in dramatic welcome. “M’am, you’re back—so very good to see you,” it called, voice warm and impeccably proper, its British accent crisp as pressed linen. “Oh! And you’ve brought a guest.” The Mr. Handy turned, optics narrowing and it somehow looked judgemental as it gave Bucky a once-over and clearly found him lacking. “Hi Codsworth, this is Bucky” she said by way of introduction. This must be her Mr. Handy, from before. “Mr. Bucky,” Codsworth said, somehow managing to look down its nonexistent nose, “how reassuring to see such decisive movement indoors. Doorframes everywhere must live in quiet terror.”

Chapter 16 Excerpt:

“Did… you… bake?” She was incredulous. He just looked at her deadpan and found a jar of fruit preserves, what fruit he couldn't say, to smear over the top handing her a plate. He went to the fridge and took out a can that read PURIFIED WATER. “So?” “Not something I thought they taught in super soldier school is all,” she bit into the bread and her eyes closed, actually savoring it. “Bucky, this is good. Like before the bombs good.” He puffed up a little at the praise. The flour she had was wrong but if he took the time to grind it into a more refined powder he could get a consistency that made a delightful sourdough loaf. “No, Hydra didn't offer Home Ec. My Ma taught me.” She listened intently, savoring the bread and reaching for another slice. “She was a great cook, won the Ladies’ Aid Society's bake off each year. I was a little shit, always putting my thumb in pies so she put me to work in the kitchen to keep her sanity.” It was a small memory and one of the few he had wholly untainted by his trauma. Happy. Light.

Chapter 15 Excerpt:

The second he decided to push, to stretch her out, to fill her up, there was heavy knocking on the door that stopped him. They both froze. Dogmeat could be faintly heard barking outside. “I am going to fucking kill him,” He somehow knew she wasn’t talking about the dog. Looking like it pained her to do it, she pushed at Bucky, moving from the bed and grabbing her discarded shirt from the floor to make her way towards the steady knocking. Bucky watched her grab a pistol off the dresser checking the chamber to make sure it was loaded. The knocking stopped the second she opened the door. “General?” Nora groaned. “I got word of a settlement that needs our help.”

Chapter 14 Excerpt:

Her eyes completely softened as though she could make him see the truth in her words through them, “You might not build the town but you’re the reason we all get to live in it, you're the reason we get to thrive, because you’re you and you’re… you’re the heart not the hammer. You just happen to also be an excellent hammer.” Her words hit him like a punch to the chest, and for the first time in what felt like forever, he let himself feel seen. All of him, the man and the machine. “I’m… I don’t deserve you,” he whispered, voice rough, almost breaking. “Bucky,” she said softly, “you’re such an idiot.”

Chapter 13 Excerpt:

It was full dark on the landing but overhead an enormous and imposing aircraft soared above. Smaller aircraft broke from the main hull and a voice cut through announcing themselves: “People of the Commonwealth, do not interfere. Our intentions are peaceful. We are the Brotherhood of Steel.” “Well shit, that can’t be good,” Bucky commented dryly.

Chapter 12 Excerpt:

“In another life, you probably would have been a good mother. But here… in this terrible reality? You just don’t get that chance.” Nora’s eyes narrowed, but she didn’t take the bait. Kellogg was trying to unbalance her, but her feet remained firmly on the ground. “But I think we’ve been talking long enough. We both know how this has to end. So… you ready?” “Hey, Kellogg—fuck you.” Nora was fast, but Kellogg was faster. They both aimed but Kellogg got the shot off, shooting straight for her head. Bucky caught a glimmer in Kellogg's eye, he thought he had her, thought he would walk out alive. The glimmer vanished in an instant as the bullet meant for Nora's skull deflected off Bucky’s outstretched metal palm.
