[ It comes on a little differently this time. He's standing next to the sink, drying dishes while Bucky washes because their dishwasher tends to rattle around when it's being used, like it's got a life of its own. It doesn't really lend to a peaceful evening. So they prefer to do dishes by hand, especially when it just ends up being two of them at a time; Natasha happens to be the one working late tonight. Steve responds wryly to something Bucky's just said when it occurs to him that he still needs to go visit Wanda at the hospital today.
It's another second before he realizes the incongruity of it, and even then it's too wrapped up in his real concern for her not to feel it in his chest, to remember what it was like to hear she was in the accident and how she'd looked strapped to her bed, apparently accepting it when he was told it was for her own good.
He sets the plate down too hard, tells Bucky where he's going. He doesn't think he's ever been so furious in this place before, and it's probably no coincidence that it's one of the clearest memories they've put in his head yet.
The station wagon is more suitable for being driven into the river than anything, and the trek across town isn't a long one, so Steve takes it, walking toward the hospital quickly. When he gets there he doesn't remember the room number and nearly doesn't ask for it, his brow furrowing as he tries to recollect that part. He's not exactly unintimidating in this mood, but nurses are also not known for being easily intimidated either, and he's soon led to her door. Steve looks at her, lips pressed together and jaw set, the nurse barely out of sight before he's stepping up to the bed, reaching for the straps to undo them. He's entirely prepared to simply tear them apart if they give him too much trouble. ]
