[Rumlow's voice stayed low, but there was a certain light in his eyes. He knew Bucky was shocked, knew this had rocked him to his core. Hell, he knew it was gonna fuck with his programming, but there was no turning back now. He had to explain why his loyalty to HYDRA had ended.]
A whole week. I had to deny the morphine. Didn't want to get questioned under the influence. Told myself over and over that I could endure the pain. And I did. For HYDRA. But they never came.
[While it was true that most of their infrastructure had been irreparably damaged by Rogers and Romanova, there were still plenty of agents with information that had been compartmentalized, safe from Romanova's prying eyes. They could have retrieved him. He was a valuable agent, with even more valuable intel. He would have helped rebuild. Instead, he went ignored. Rumlow couldn't, and wouldn't forget that.]
