So Steve knows that Bucky was raped in captivity, but only in general terms. Bucky doesn't like to talk about it. Steve doesn't pry.
On one mission they capture someone from Hydra, and when Bucky can't hide his bad reaction to seeing him, he has to admit it: that guy raped him. So, what, that's a pretty bad day. Probably Steve tries not to punch the rapist's face in, Bucky takes himself to a different room, they have to talk about it a little. But that's just a single fucked up mission.
Except then a little later they capture another Hydra agent, and it turns out he'd also raped Bucky.
And it happens again. And again. Not nearly everyone from Hydra they're rounding up, but... way, way too many of them. In this way, Steve learns what Bucky hadn't wanted him to know: just how much, how often, and by how many people he was raped. The emotional impact of that hellish information = just what I'd like out of this prompt.
+ when they see Bucky, the captured rapists run the gamut from apologetic terror, to taunting him, to acting like it doesn't matter because Bucky doesn't really count
+ Bucky stops admitting when they capture a new rapist, because he can't stand seeing Steve getting more and more worked up. Of course, then he can't display discomfort or take any steps to protect himself when he's in their presence
+ eventually Steve totally loses it and does smash someone's face in
+ at some point they capture someone who apologizes for raping Bucky, only Bucky doesn't even remember this guy, at all. Maybe it had been part of a gang rape, so Bucky didn't see his face, or was too out of it by then, or... ++ if this rapist awkwardly tries to jog Bucky's memory ("you know, they were... um, with the stun batons... it was in 2005?"). and it just gets more and more horrifying, because nothing he says narrows it down enough
rapists are everywhere!
