Standing over their makeshift briefing table, Sam spewing the rundown into Bucky's right ear, the Super Soldier can't help but zone out, focusing instead on the uncomfortable chill that's been creeping up his spine for the last two days of this mission.

A team. Friends. A well-oiled machine. They were always so busy worrying about what they weren't, that they'd missed what they were, to themselves, to the world, and to each other. Thankfully, there were many things to be learned from a botched operation: What was important, what they could let go, and what they would fight to hold onto.
