[Closed] You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
Who| Steve Rogers & Sam Wilson
What| After being brought to the Avengers camp by Bucky, Steve and Sam reunite. Also wands.
Where| Castle, possibly nearby areas
When| Early Week Two
Warnings/Notes| Mild mentions of torture
Bucky had so much wanted Steve to come back to his camp with him, but Steve had kept saying no, unwilling and unwanting to be trapped in a secure area with people he didn't trust. Though he does - a part of him does, but each time he thought about it too much the thoughts of it would becoming overwhelming and confusing and- He wasn't a fan of how much his own mind was at war with itself. How being around Bucky is almost worse than the stress of being hunted, how thinking of the other, of Sam, intensifies it more.
Yet, Steve hadn't had a chance to read the note on the rose, hadn't seen yet what it said about dipping it into the bay. So, as the night grew deeper, so did Steve's fever. Eventually, it consumed him so terribly he could barely think beyond the burning, the pain, for once unafraid of the strong arms carrying him, gentle hands on his forehead. Again, his body was the thing to fear, not anyone outside of him, so he clung to Bucky tightly like he was a lifeline, not protesting at all as the other man took matters into his own hands, Steve refusing to let go of him until long after his fever broke and he fell into a restless sleep.
Sleep doesn't last long though, nightmares prying him from sleep over and over again until he finally gives up, inspecting the surroundings quietly, trying to determine just what he's in for here before anyone else returns. He can't imagine they'd leave him here completely alone, but for the moment, it seems he is.
But that moment ends as he opens the door out of the room, his stuff gathered in a makeshift bag, and sees Sam on the other side. Fevered images of the other man taking care of him last night come to mind, but he shakes them from his mind, the fear already trying to cloud them. He looks at the man, his eyes wary and sharp, feeling cornered as there is only one way out and Sam is in the path of that. He's tired and sluggish from the asthma attack and the fever, he knows he can't force his way by, but he doesn't trust the man not to attack him in this moment, when Steve has no escape.
So, he waits, tense.

It feels like a trick, but it's more than enough for Steve to work with, he might not have the head on his shoulders he had before, but he's always been good at strategy and tactics. With this situation he can slip away eventually. For the moment, he has to bide his time and risk being around someone who could kill him, but it's his best bet. He can't out run Sam or win in a fight, not unless he stabbed the man and he already knows that's not an option.
So, eventually he nods, pointing his chin down the hall, indicating Sam can go first, because like hell he's turning his back to the man. As mentioned earlier, he still knows tactics and that'd be a dumb one to leave himself open. So, if Sam wants to come along, then he can be the one to lead, to leave his back open. Not that Steve will take advantage, not even slightly, but it'll make him feel safer, if only marginally.
So, he waits, keeping his bag and the knife clutched to his chest, not moving an inch until Sam does.
"Just not here, I-" well, he might as well do it while he has an escort, easier to dodge and escape in the castle than out in the open, enough small places Steve could go that Sam can't, "I was going to explore this place first, see if there's anything useful," before I leave goes unspoken.
