No, she wasn't invincible with that sort of opinion, but he said nothing about it either. One was only as invincible as they were made and felt, and while he felt very little, his conditioning had made him very invincible. Even right now, he could set about the destruction of this place and go trotting off until a handler found him and brought him back in line with the right phrases and hand motions. One didn't reason with the Winter Soldier; they conditioned and then commanded him.

However, something didn't feel right about that anymore, like he had blinked his eyes and woken up in a different world. Stephanie never gave him any phrases or cues, never commanded him or hit him to get him into position for more training. She treated him without fear and without awe. He simply was to her, and that treatment found odd cracks in his armour, worked like little worms in his psyche.

"Do you get a choice about your missions?" He got to choose what weapon to use, what route to take, how to handle resistance. The mission itself was not something he chose.
