James never slept well, he hadn't in decades. Between the nightmares and his body still expecting to retch and vomit from cryo-thaw he never got must rest even when sedated. And here he was laying in a soft bed where most people would be out cold he was staring at the ceiling in a cold sweat breathing heavily from another night of flashbacks. If it wasn't for Natasha he'd still be under King's control who took him from the Red Room who took him from HYDRA who took him from himself.
Getting up he went into the bathroom to wash his face and try to collect his thoughts. Looking down he saw the two different hands holding water like a bowl and he just sighed - there was a time when he would have become angry and smashed the sink under the metal fist but Natasha had helped to put him back together enough to see what he was as who he had become for better or worse.
Here he could afford to not be completely guarded all the time so he left the bathroom door open as he continued to splash cold water on his face, not fully guarded didn't mean not fully aware however and he'd rather know someone was behind him whether it was a certain redhead or someone who didn't feel they needed working legs or all their teeth.
