Bruce's eyes flick to the metal arm. That most certainly hadn't been included in all the history books he had been forced to read as a child. Admittedly, American history focuses far more on Steve than Barnes, but he doubts they would skip over Captain America's best friend getting a prosthetic limb that outmatched even most modern prosthetics.
Come to think of it, Barnes doesn't match the history books all that much at all. He was described as very personable, if Bruce remembers correctly. Then again, he can be remembering wrong. It's been a while since he's brushed up on the minutia of American history.
"Is the metal arm a Capitol addition, or do you have that back home?" He finishes his wrapping quickly, then bends down, pulling his backpack from under the sink and opening it up to take out a bag full of what medical supplies he had been able to find, placing it on the edge of the sink. He takes out a pair of latex gloves, snapping them onto both hands.
Not only does he not want to get his bandages wet, but with all the open sores he has under said bandages, he wants gloves to make sure he doesn't accidentally contaminate Barnes' wound with his own radioactive blood.
"Face me and close your eyes. I'm going to clean it out with soap and water first, then dab a little antiseptic on." He had to preserve what antiseptic he had. Foreign objects could be cleaned from the burn with just soap and water, so no need to waste antiseptic on that.
