Re: HYDRA puts a camera in Bucky's eye

And what if it gets worse. What if a later recording just sort of starts off with grunting, and then a sweaty guy comes into view on top of Bucky, raping him, and Steve a) realizes the rape started while Bucky was unconscious and is waking up to this and b) that he just turned off visuals too damn late.

Oh, and Bucky's horrified that he knows.

Oh, this is interesting; you're implying Bucky gets to choose when to record, which I hadn't gotten from the prompt but sort of like. There's a level of hidden horror to it: any of his recorded rapes must, to be in the footage at all, have been when he was too out of it, overwhelmed, injured, drugged, or unconscious to turn off visuals, so how disturbing must those rapes have been to him? Plus: who knows what happened to him when the cameras were off?

I do also like the idea that Hydra chooses when to turn the camera on and off, for the implication that someone is watching this happen and choosing to record it.

But also yes, totally, Bucky is so horrified that Steve knows. It's one thing if someone knows you were raped, worse if they saw video, and another level of worse entirely if that video was from INSIDE YOUR OWN EYEBALL. Think about the total lack of privacy! If Bucky stared at a cockroach the whole time to distract himself, if he teared up, if he was instructed to watch the action between his legs and not blink and he followed those orders, if he ran his hands over his body afterward trying to figure out what gentle touch feels like, Steve knows all that.

OP
Yeah, I wasn't thinking that he could turn it off or on, but I like that idea and what you're exploring here.
FWIW, in the AoS episode (it doesn't have to be exactly the same, it's just a jumping off point, but I just feel the need to mention), any time Akela (the woman with the camera) closed her eyes, she could still see, just everything looked like when you look at images from one of those full-body scanners at the airport: white human-shaped blobs and also somehow she could see through walls and boxes and stuff (idk but they kept saying the word "backscatter" in the episode, so whatever that is). I was thinking for Bucky this would mean he couldn't even escape what was happening by closing his eyes, he'd still see everything just without any detail.
Buuuut I do also like your idea that he has the ability to turn it off so if he didn't then he must be drugged/incapacitated in some way. I am pretty much fully on board for everything everyone's been talking about here. (Also the image of Steve watching footage of Bucky staring at a cockroach and being like "??? Is he just sitting waiting for them" and then something happens to make Steve realize what's actually going on and it's HEARTBREAKING is so perfect).
