Phantom pain explodes in his shoulder, and he clamps his flesh and blood hand over the joint, fingers pressing into the soft cotton of his dress shirt, almost clawing at the material until he hits the trigger that turns off the hologram, his skin seemingly melting away to reveal the gleaming silver arm of the Winter Soldier, metallic fingers flexing outwards as his knees give out, and he catches himself on the worn dirt path they'd been walking on before all this madness started. The nausea hits almost as an afterthought, but there's no stopping the bile that rushes to his throat. With a cough that's equal parts sob, he turns his head away from Steve at the last second before getting sick, not wanting to subject him to the sight.
