A small frown appeared on her face when he confirmed knowing of the Stark family and she was sure it wasn’t due to some long lost memory magically coming to the surface and that on itself was probably enough of a confirmation for one of the things she had feared the most, it hurt more than she care to admit and she had to remember, forcer herself to remember that Bucky had been following orders, that he had been tortured, broken enough to make them into their perfect weapon and knew nothing else more than following orders, something she absolutely refused to do as well.
Which was why she didn’t said anything when he stayed where he was, despite that the dismissal had been hinted there, and didn’t give him the direct order even when she heard Natasha’s form of scolding from the other line. “Yes, I’m sorry just found it and…no he’s not…stop saying that, can we cut the teasing for another day, please?”
Stephanie supposed her voice must have sounded pathetic enough for Natasha to stop and just give her a quick brief that yes, Bucky had pretty much killed most of the people she had managed to track, that he moved fast and that no one knew she was with him since Natasha had managed to get a hold of the security recordings, but that Bucky’s face was going around since he was caught in film and they did needed to stay low for a bit, there was a small moment of silence when Nat asked her what they were going to do now and she sighed once again, “…still figuring it out.”
“I hadn’t noticed, the way things are you can either go on this hunting road trip with him and see what you can find of whatever remains of Hydra or you can go with plan b, containment, which includes taking the winter soldier to New York, to an undisclosed location where we already managed to convince Thor to subdue him and then lock him in a room Stark has designed while we figure out what to do with him.”
And oh she so wasn’t surprised they had all considered that, it explained why they last time she had spoken with Stark he had been in London, where they knew Thor was currently residing with Miss Foster, her eyes quickly flicked to Bucky and no, she wasn’t sure if she could do that to him and apparently her silence was enough answer to Natasha, which also sighed a bit annoyed before telling her to think about it. “We will see I will call you back.”
She ended the call and just fell back on the bed, feeling even more weighted than before and her mind was close to her reaching point. “God, I need a good and long bath.” She had learned to appreciate how much those relaxed her now that she had the means to indulge with those.
yes, but HP started the fashion of splitting books even if they don't need it.
