[She looks more lightly surprised that he actually talked to Pierce, at first, more than anything. Ava doesn't see where this is going until he says it, until the words such good friends are there on the air between them.
Before she left she would have been angry. Now, she's just-- It's different. She looks at him, even, still, quiet for a long moment as she lets his words hang in the air.]
When you talked to him, did he tell you why I left? Because he knew. Did he tell he about the tech?
[It's slightly calculated. Not manipulative; but she makes a snap judgement off what she knows, which at the moment is just that Pierce has clearly been misrepresenting her to Bucky. And in line with that, she imagines he probably skipped the part about brainwashing tech.
Saying he's lying felt too cheap, so instead she tries to prove it, as best as she can.]
