“I’m not even gonna try to promise that. Hell, I’ll promise you the opposite, I know that’s what they’re gonna do. They’re gonna say what can you do for us, we got you out of the Capitol, we’re giving you a place to hide, you better be ready to help us fight. I’m a soldier, too, I know how this shit works.”
He doesn’t like it, but he knows how it works. Hell, he’d even had to sell it to Kurloz in a tactical way, for more reasons than just Bucky needs to get out of here.
“But I’ll willing to bet they’re a lot more prone to negotiation than the Capitol is. They can’t control us like the Capitol can, and if they didn’t need more soldiers, they would’ve struck out against the Capitol already. Maybe Steve’ll have to play diplomat, maybe you guys’ll have to work with their terms, but we still have a common goal with them.”
There’s a moment of hesitation, then he adds, “And they can’t reset you like the Capitol does.” They can’t make Bucky have to heal the same damage done to his brain over and over again.
“Hackers. Initiate knows a tech guy, and I suggested Tony. But if you don’t want this, I’ll take it back. I said I wanted to be there when we do get through, but I won’t ask for you and Steve.”
