[ His mind is foggy, slowly processing the situation through Bucky's side of the bond as if they were his own thoughts: it's over. Forearm stays wrapped around forearm as he catches his breath.
Thanks.
The sentiment blooms from his hazy thoughts, warm and fond and wry and grateful. The kind of gratitude he's never had and never will have the right words for. Deep and unquestionable. Constant and unchanging. Apology in the immediate sense. The now. An intention to move that's taking root and spreading, forcing his aching body to catch up--
The greenery directly ahead of them rustles, the movement of something large.
They didn't hear it break the glass beneath the sound of his screams, mental and physical.
Must've been called by the noise. Whether it thought it heard its tortured brethren or potential prey doesn't matter anymore.
The giant, cat-like creature pauses mid-step, transfixed and frozen by the blue light pulsing from Steve's bare chest. ]
