hydratrashmeme | Dumpster #4: I Don't See How That's a Party

Okay, kids, you know the drill. Don't be a jerk except to fictional characters. Warn if you want, but read at your own risk, because

hydratrashmeme is about as far from a safe space as you can get. Garbage we like: noncon, whump, aftermath, violence, mind control, inappropriate uses of Bucky Barnes' metal arm, bad guys doing dirtybadwrong things to your faves. Garbage you should find a different trashcan for: a/b/o, D/s-verse, soulbonds, mundane AUs, OOC evil!good guys doing dirtybadwrong things to your faves, rotting leftovers dressed up as a romantic gourmet meal. Nothing wrong with 'em, but this isn't the crowd you should be pitching to if you're trying to sell Brock Rumlow as anything but a human dumpster fire.

for what it's worth, I'd love some of it from Steve's POV. And besides the "seeing the love of your life like that" thing....what has he given up? Does he even still go on missions? Out with friends? What happens to the Assets if or when he does? Is he getting some sot of counseling for this?

AA here,

For the most time Steve does not go out much except on missions with the Avengers from time to time. To see what happens with the Asset during that time check out this excerpt from part 5:

*It doesn't matter that Handler Rogers never take the Asset with him during field missions.

Handler Rogers doesn't utilize it for combat. Instead the hours pass at a snail's pace when the Asset is placed in lockdown while Handler Rogers is out risking his life. Not a single second goes by without the Asset wondering if he will ever come back, it pictures all the possible ways he could be hurt or even killed.

In those moments the Asset “wants” to be there, to move Handler Rogers out of the way of a death-ray, to take the sniper bullet meant for his head, to jump on the grenade that land at Handler Rogers feet.

The Asset can't do anyone of those things, because it isn't stable. On the battlefield it would just be a loose canon, a risk. The Asset's combat experience is worthless because Handler Rogers can't trust it in that way.

Just after Handler Rogers took proper possession of the Asset, one of his teammates, Sam Wilson, codename: Falcon, came too close to it. The Asset doesn't remember what happened, but security cameras recorded how the Asset broke Mr Wilson's arm and almost strangled him to death with a shoelace before Handler Rogers interfered.

As if that wasn't bad enough, there are still words in the Asset's head that can steal it away from Handler Rogers. Words that could be employed by anyone to turn the Asset against the Avengers, against Handler Rogers.

So the Asset isn't allowed to come with Handler Rogers on field missions. When Handler Rogers is out, it stays locked up in the basement of Stark Tower, inside of a fortified bunker, restrained and immobilized. It is necessary, not just to prevent anyone unauthorized from accessing the Asset, but also for making sure it can't harm anyone or itself in Handler Rogers's absence.*

Steve has a sneaky earpiece to let JARVIS and the others talk to him when he is alone with the Asset. The avengers give their support however they can in their own ways.
