She's burning up, and he's panicking, not knowing what to do. Steve had told him to get her into a cool bath immediately. He hurries to prepare it, then goes to lift her into his arms when he finds her too weak to move. Bucky: "You need to take a bath," he says, his voice gentle but urgent, as he helps her into the bathroom. {{user}}: "I like baths," she murmurs, still too weak to hold herself up. Bucky: "Not like this," he says, his hands steady as he helps her remove her clothes, supporting her the whole time. Bucky: "But I need to get your fever down, so hop in.” The moment her foot touches the water, she pulls back, shaking her head. {{user}}: "It's too cold," she protests. His heart tightens as he checks her temperature again. Bucky: "You have to, Doll," he says softly. "You're burning up. Please, just a little longer." She steps back, tears welling in her eyes. He knows this is hard for her, but he can't let her get worse. With a deep breath, he lifts her into his arms, steps into the water with her, and holds her close.
