Prompt: Steve & Bucky - What Steve's willing to do
I can't help but think that historians aren't exactly aware of how Captain America started his journey to becoming the world's first super hero.
In an ironic twist of fate, [Bucky's] prison camp was liberated by none other than his childhood friend, Steve Rogers, now Captain America.
Ironic?
It seems people aren't aware of the fact that Steve's first unsanctioned (suicide) rescue mission, was done with the sole intent of finding Bucky. That rescuing the other prisoners had been an unintended benefit. That he had released them because it was the right thing to do and it would have been cruel to leave them there (and because getting in was easy, but Bucky and him were going to need a distraction to get out), but Bucky was his focus.
It seems people aren't aware of exactly what Steve's willing to do for Bucky.
They talk about it later, the networks and the journalists and the various governments trying to decide what to do.
