It was a nice last night, warm and comfy. It was an expected next morning when the announcement was made and the rest of them were told to pack up and get ready to be shipped to England that very day. He wasn't at all perturbed by the announcement, finding a thrill of expectation that things were progressing as he wanted them to and getting that much closer to what he needed to do. Steve would be out of his range by then, and perhaps have moved on from him to doe-eye Agent Carter. He couldn't guarantee his own survival, but he knew better than to transmit anything either. He wait. He was a patient man.
He shipped out, trained for two months and then was sent in as a reservist to the 107th to fill in the ranks for the upcoming assault on Azzano and holding that line. He saw his own share of action with his company, which was not the same as Barnes', but inquires had led him to know that the man was well-regarded. No point in friendly fire then. He instead concentrated on his own survival and elevating himself as the company sniper, which was not difficult given his cool head, his suspiciously good battle fortitude. By the time the 107th platoon had been captured, he already was called 'Crossbones' because he almost never missed a shot and anyone who entered his crosshairs received the old skull and crossbones.
He was captured with some of the 107th, placing himself well to be taken prisoner. Once there, he made contact with the Skull and proved himself a loyal follower and made the clear suggestion to Zola of the use of James "Bucky" Barnes on the experimental serum. All he had to do was work hard, survive and wait for the time when Captain America would grace them all with his presence.
