Coulda just been waiting till Sam was out the room. No witnesses.
[Not that he's being particularly serious about it. At the end of the day, she's right. She's had ample enough opportunities already. And given the way she'd switched sides at the airport, had thrown in Steve- Because is was Steve who earned that loyalty. Not him. -she isn't about to change her mind now.
Hopefully.
So Bucky just rubs a hand down his face, taking a moment to clear his thoughts. There's clearly a reason she's waited for him, and he isn't about to just brush that off.]
[ Her face turns more serious at the question. She's spent so much of her life being duplicitous by nature that being straight forward has only started to feel normal in the last few years of her life and even then, only really around a handful of people.
She and Barnes are still getting used to each other, but they have a lot of people in common. It counts for a lot and very little at the same time, but she's starting to see what Steve had seen in him and what Sam sees now. The saltiness is really just on the outside, isn't it? She can work with that. She's Russian. ]
[The answer is easy to give, because it's a simple truth. From the moment he was back in his own mind again- Back under his own control, at least -he'd known that Sam's presence on their team was a risk. Not because the guy couldn't protect himself. But rather because a couple of tours and a set of wings doesn't mean much when you're up against people who can kill you with a snap of their fingers.
Sam's entirely human, and yet he doesn't let that keep him from facing supersoldiers head on. From taking point against an army of aliens hellbent on wiping out half of humanity for a second time.
He's fearless. And that is terrifying.]
He's as bad as Steve. 'cept he doesn't have the serum to back him up.
[Instead, it's a pair of former assassins. But at the end of the day, they're still only human.]

So what're you really here for then?

Are you as worried about Sam as I am?
