No. I was in the meditation room and then nothing.
Re: [ quarters ]
I think a splint could help for now, but you need a doctor, Winter. I can have Hank come by and give you a proper diagnosis.
[ Winter's response made sense. The Winter soldier wasn't really a person, it was . . . a device, tied up in programming and protocols. ]
Then you clearly weren't the person who hurt me.
[ quarters ]
[ Aka: that's not likely to happen anytime soon.
As nice as it would be to say he's not the Winter Soldier, they're one in the same. No one can really have one without the other. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, carving out that piece of him wouldn't miraculously make things better. As easy as that would make things.. ]
I heard a voice..Before it happened.
Re: [ quarters ]
As someone who has lost the use of his legs, I suggest you rethink that decision. Making yourself suffer isn't going to do anything, much less invoke the kind of divine justice you're looking for.
[ He pauses, pulling away briefly. ]
Yes. That would be me. I tried to bring your consciousness to the forefront of your mind. I'm afraid I didn't have much luck.
[ quarters ]
No, not you. A woman.
[ Though Charles saying that makes a little sense. ]
Re: [ quarters ]
A woman? [ Charles purses his lips. ] It might have been the Atroma. Wasn't one of them a woman?
[ quarters ]
[ Really, how sure can he be when he can't even trust his own head not to flip out? ]
Re: [ quarters ]
That was my take on it as well.
[ quarters ]
I know they're in our head, but-- how did she know what to look for?
Re: [ quarters ]
The protocols are still there, Winter. I can remove them at a later date. When you're ready.
[ quarters ]
Is there a way you can block it? Even temporarily?
Re: [ quarters ]
I can do that.
[ quarters ]
[ Does he lose his memories again? How deep does Charles have to go? What's going to come up when it's lifted? Winter isn't too keen on someone being inside his head, but he can't be left unchecked. ]
Re: [ quarters ]
[ quarters ]
[ Whenever Charles is feeling up to it. His own physical health doesn't really matter so long as it's taken care of. Better to do it when he's down an arm. ]
Re: [ quarters ]
[ quarters ]
Re: [ quarters ]
It's your mind. That makes it about you.
[ quarters ]
Re: [ quarters ]
Many of us are liabilities, even without protocols. The Atroma has clearly shown that. It still has to be a decision for you or I won't do it.
[ quarters ]
Re: [ quarters ]
Close your eyes. This might take a while.
[ quarters ]
Alright..
Re: [ quarters ]
There's less frenzy, less need to work against the time limit. Charles pulls up the mission protocols. Compliance. Action. Order.
Time to rest, Charles says as he retires them. They fade. Completed. Done. Burying them would do no good, it would only ensure them rising up to the surface again.
A completed order can't be reactivated.
Finally, he pulls out, breathing heavily. ]
[ quarters ]
It's a relief, and he's more grateful than he can say. ]
Thank you, Charles.
