SEND “YOU’RE HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME” FOR MY MUSE’S REACTION

Natasha sighed. Of course she was hiding things, she was Natasha fucking Romanoff. “Yeah- you’re not the only person who knew James Barnes.” It was now or never, right?

Steve blinked. “What? How the hell…Bucky..” He repeated his friend’s name. “How do you know Bucky?”

He slowly began to put all together, and his emotions washed over him.

“The file from Russia. Is that what you meant, about how I might not want to pull on that thread?”

“Something like that, yeah.” She ran a hand through her hair, wondering just how much detail she should share. “He was my instructor in the Red Room.” And a lot more, but Steve seemed to have already figured that out. 

He gritted his teeth, clearly not happy. Seems like everyone knew what was going on, but him. Fury clearly knew, and wanted to compartmentalize that information. 

“So, basically…you lied to me. Again. Just like everyone else. About my best friend. Never giving me a chance to save him two years ago.”

He wondered if Peggy knew about Buck from when she was Director of SHIELD. Would she have told him, or did everyone want to hold his hand, and shield him from the truth?

“Fine…We’re done here, Natasha. I’m leaving. Don’t bother calling me, unless the world is burning down.”

Steve picked up his jacket, and then went to the door, opening and closing it, as he went out into the hall, as he had a flashback to Zola’s snowy train.
