[They aren't fighting, but that's only because they've reached a sort of ceasefire where neither of them want to fight each other. Steve can still feel that dark anticipation. They're both on edge and waiting for the next blow to come. Bucky says he knows about Captain America, but apparently he doesn't. Or in their world, the legend is another thing entirely. Maybe for them the man really was just about morale and transparent missions, fighting the good fight like the regular boys. By the way this man looks at him, Steve Rogers probably hasn't done nearly as much. He understands the disappointment. If most people knew him, they would be disappointed. But they have their own man around, so it's all okay for them.]
I suppose you'll have to contact him.
[He nods, withdrawing. No wonder this man was avoiding him for so long. It must have been painful, Steve thinks, to talk to him and want to talk to the man he knew.]

I'm sorry for shaking you up like this.
