JAMES IS USED TO LONG SILENCES, to a never ending loneliness that he’s actually become somewhat comfortable with it. HE HOPES SHE DOES NOT BECOME THE SAME WAY, someone so young, she deserves more than that, H.Y.D.R.A has already taken so much from her. HE KNOWS FIRSTHAND THE WAY IT CAN DESTROY SOMEONE. ❝
He means well, the punk thinks talking is the solution to everything, never could get him to shut up butwouldn’t want him to be a n y other way. It’s what makes him Steve.❞ JAMES IS SLOWLY REMEMBERING LITTLE THINGS, it’s taking time, and he knows he will never be the same ‘ Bucky’ who fell off that train. ❝I’m sorrydid i kill him?❞ HIS EXPRESSION FALTERS BUT HE HAS TO ASK, he has to know if he’s responsible for her pain.

“You wouldn’t, maybe. Because that’s Steve. But i would prefer not to talk too much. And even if he means well, it’s not helping and it’s like he doesn’t get it.” Steve being nice was good. She had appreciated his welcoming attitude in the beginning. After she and Pietro realised how wrong Ultron was. Wanting to help them even if they had gone against the team. But now, now she was just feeling like he was pushing too much. And she wanted him to stop, without sounding too rude. She shook her head at his question. She understood why, though. Since Barnes had kille many, apparently. “No, you didn’t. Ultron did. Tony Stark’s robot to protect the world. But I pushed Tony’s fears and he made Ultron after them. So it’s my fault if Pietro is dead.”
