Summary
“Where is he Benny?” Bucky shakes him, feeling more alive than he has since before he walked into that phone booth in London.
“They beat him,” Benny breathes out. “Then they took him to the cooler.”
Bucky drops his hands, releasing Benny’s jacket and stumbling back a step.
“What?” He can’t help but stare at Benny uncomprehendingly because Gale is a senior officer here. He goes to meetings with the Krauts and negotiates for supplies and he’s Gale. Gentle, quiet, sweet Gale and how could anyone hurt him?
“For how long?” Bucky practically yells. The cooler? He thinks and feels his heart sink. Gale can’t go to solitary confinement, none of them can survive this place alone and Gale has been wasting away even in a room full of people who care about him.

Gale is sent to solitary confinement and John's world changes in an instant.Series

Summary
“You’ll manage, Bucky,” Gale says before he can think better of it, and when John looks up at him with eyes wet and glistening, he wishes he could take it back. Maybe not just the cold, then.
“I’ll manage?” He sounds level at least, hot drunk but no different to normal. A little edge, a little rasp.
“Without ‘im. I know it’ll be—But you’ll manage.” John’s answering scoff has a meanness in it, and he does look down again, but thankfully he doesn’t stop walking.
“I’ll manage. Yeah, I’ll manage. I’ll manage without him, because I managed before, that right?”
“That’s right.” Gale’s murmuring again, and you don’t grow up in Wyoming without learning how to soothe a horse, and somehow that’s the voice he’s using right now. Tempted, even, to soothe like he would a horse: hand rubbed broad along John’s flank, cupping his neck like he’d cupped Gale in the pub, rubbing solid and firm. Might quiet those jitters, still jittering even though John’s trudging along with his sight on the ground, trying to sniff away his wet eyes.

Summary
"Got an important question to ask you," Bucky says. Gale tenses a little, but Bucky just holds out an open palm, face up.
"Chicken," he states, then lays out his other hand, "or egg? Which came first?"
The tension evaporates, replaced with an odd sense of disappointment. Gale shifts to push Bucky's hands away. "Whatever machine they use to evaporate those eggs came first."
