“Imagine Bucky as this very meek, silent presence when he first joins the team. Hydra had him trained to stay out of the way, to speak only when spoken to or when a mission required it, and the idea that he’s allowed to have actual conversational input is taking a while to sink in. So it’s not uncommon for him to go days at a time without uttering a word, and everyone just takes it in stride and does their best to let him know that he’s welcome to talk whenever he wants. It takes time, but gradually he starts to open up, volunteering his questions and opinions and disjointed little observations…

And god, his vocabulary is absolutely filthy.

It’s pretty obvious that he’s not trying to be aggressive or offensive. Bucky’s main source of social interaction for the last seventy years has been listening in on conversations between the various other soldiers, mercs and black ops guys who accompanied him on missions, so that’s who he parrots now as he learns how to speak for himself again. He can swear fluently in about a dozen different languages, and his repertoire of English vulgarities is enough to raise even Natasha’s worldly eyebrows.
“I’m gonna start a swear jar,” says Tony, kicking back on the couch as Bucky offers up his colourful interpretation of the evening’s news to the room at large. “Screw clean energy, clearly the real money is in swear jars now.”
“Hey, I can dig,” says Sam. “I’m learning some great new compound words here. And it’s not like he’s wrong about the mayor.”
It may not be deliberate, but it’s also not entirely unconscious. Bucky is perfectly capable of switching to perfect 1940s gentleman when he wants to: as far as the downstairs reception staff are concerned, he’s a boyscout. But when he’s relaxed, he always defaults back to talking like he’s in the trenches. Some jokes are made about the effect he must be having on the good Captain America, but Steve barely even blinks – it’s kind of like having his old STRIKE team back on site, if his STRIKE team were all to start talking through the same mouthpiece at the same time while under the misguided impression that Steve wasn’t really listening.”

JUST NOTICED LAST NIGHT THAT BUCKY WAS ALSO ON A DRIP IN THE ENTIRE CHAIR SCENE

I know it’s a fucked up scene, I do, but that to me just is nOPE. What the fuck are they putting into his system on top of the mind wiping and the physical abuse and the conditioning. 

wait, what?

THE TUBE ON THE BACK OF HIS RIGHT HAND, IS THAT A DRIP?

Dr. Cyan calling in here, and yes, that is absolutely a peripheral IV cannula on his right hand. Watching the scene carefully you can see the IV stand on his right, with two infusion bags attached (sorry for the crappy images, maybe someone can grab a better screenshot if they have the DVD):

If you watch frame by frame, you can see that Bucky pops the connection tube off when he attacks the med tech; it dangles freely from the IV bag when the guards move to point their guns at him. In real life he’d probably have torn the cannula out of his hand entirely; it happens all the time with little old ladies in my ER so I was disappointed the directors didn’t draw on that particular body horror/’ouch’-factor here.

The infusion bags appear to be one 1,000 mL isotonic saline or D5W/D5NS (dextrose/glucose in a saline solution) for tissue rehydration, and one 500 mL isotonic saline, most likely a diluent for injectable/parenteral drug administration:

Which drug? Well, it could be any HYDRA concoction, but I’d put my money on the tried-and-true fallback of some benzodiazepine. BZDs/derivatives are anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing), hypnotic (sedative/sleep-inducing), anticonvulsant (good for when you’re electrocuting someone’s brain), amnestic (affecting memory), and myorelaxant (muscle-relaxing), a nice cocktail for working with the Winter Soldier – and hey! paradoxical BZD reactions include aggression and violence (such as attacking attending medical staff), and it may also cause anterograde amnesia as well as internalised feelings of turmoil, anxiety, depression, and loss of the ability to experience and/or express feelings. Plus, withdrawal can cause depression, depersonalisation, derealisation, hypersensitivity, psychosis, and suicidal ideation – sounds like a lot of Bucky-in-from-the-cold fanfics, am I right?

Seriously, writing this, I’m wondering where the withdrawal!Bucky fanfics are – the fics I’ve read all focus on his mental issues, but what about the physiological ones? I’d really like to read a fic about Bucky coming off whatever HYDRA pumped him full of – now that’d make for some neat hurt/comfort (and a lot of curling up on Steve’s bathroom floor shaking and puking his guts out).

(When I get my hands on a HD copy of the movie I’ll have a look at the rest of the medical setup in that scene. I’m especially interested in the screens behind the chair – maybe some more medical meta to be explored? Please send any screenshots my way if you have them!)

Hey, zooeyscigar – angsty fic reference here!
