"Hit me," Jason exhales, stubbornness keeping his eyes open until his vision swims to a halt. "Couldn't see it." He sits up with a swallowed groan, expecting to feel his ribs ache in protest, but all the pain is at his back. Small fucking favors.
He looks to Bucky, feeling sure that if Bucky had seen whoever it was they'd already be bleeding out, and doesn't feel as reassured as he might. If Bucky hasn't brought the attacker down while inside his own home, what chance does Jason have? "Nobody's snuck up on me that bad in...ever." It should be frightening, but Jason's more caught up in the shame. He's better than this, he wants Bucky to believe it as much as he needs it himself, he's better than this.
Jason opens his mouth, but all that escapes is a gasp when the earth begins to shake, tossing Bucky violently across his vision. "B-Bucky," Jason gasps. It never once occurs to him that he might be the one shaking.
