Summary
Therapy is a lot harder than Sam had let on, Steve thinks. Talking about things he’s never talked about, revealing things he’s never revealed. And to someone who’d started out a perfect stranger. It goes against every instinct in himself, all of which tell him to keep these things to himself, to let it all out only in the physical violence of a fist against a punching bag.
It’s been a month now since Bucky—Jigsaw—came back of his own volition after the auction debacle and his escape from the Tower. Since they first pissed off the FBI by ruining a handful of raids against Clint’s “tracksuit mafia.” Since they raided that bank vault and found everything waiting there inside it that Jigsaw had said would be there. Waiting, perhaps, to be used.
It’s been a month, but it feels so much longer.
(Or: The one where the Avengers have successfully brought the asset in after his murder sprees, and the therapy (and relationships) can begin in earnest. A direct sequel to Blue-Eyed Matador.)

Summary
The storm is still two hours off according to JARVIS, but at this point, the team can’t communicate clearly over the roaring wind and they run the risk of injuring themselves or getting themselves killed if they can’t coordinate their rescue efforts. They’ll go back to the Tower, dry off, eat a hearty meal, and rest until the storm passes and they can resume their efforts.
Steve wonders how things have been for Clint, trying to manage Kate’s desire to launch herself into the storm with her teeth bared on the one hand and Jigsaw’s renewed fame in the midst of the evacuated crowds on the second and third floors on the other hand.
It’s an interesting time to be an Avenger, but when hasn’t that been the case?
(Or: The one where Hurricane Sandy is in full swing, Thor returns, and Jigsaw must face the consequences of having been recognized as Bucky. The therapy continues, the relationships heat up, and the found family grows. A direct sequel to Stitch Me Up.)
