Right now, he had nothing but her and so all of his efforts were focused on keeping her and making certain that she had no reason to leave him behind. He might be able to follow her, stalk her, even kill her, that wouldn't suit his purpose to gaining some level of the power structure back in his life. He couldn't wander around in a daze the rest of the time he was alive, and he had no intention of going back to Hydra or even the Soviets.

He did stand by what he said, that he was better off dead than without her. His abilities, his training, his conditioning made him dangerous at the best of times, but when he had something to focus on, he was better. He wouldn't allow himself to survive outside of her; she was going to become his kill switch. "Yeah, you be more careful. People know you far more than they will ever know me."
