Steve sighed. Perhaps this was fate.
Bucky might already be dead.
Dejected, Steve left the bedroom, intending to find somewhere to rest.
"Captain, are you just going to leave like that?" Nick Fury asked.
"What else can I do? After all... the Winter Soldier did break the law," Steve said, his face full of conflict.
Of course, Nick Fury truly had no way to help the Winter Soldier. He did not even know whether he was still alive.

Can't beat you head-on?
Then I'll hold a bunch of civilians hostage. Do you government Superhumans care about civilian lives or not?
Whether they were superheroes or volunteer police officers.
