i need to tell you both something and i need you to not i don't know
[This...really shouldn't be as awkward as it is. Shouldn't feel uncomfortable in any way, because it's Sam and Peggy. They know him in ways that even Steve doesn't. He trusts them. Knows that no matter what happens, he'll always be able to rely on them.
But he also knows that it's their opinions that matter most to him. So if they react badly, if they aren't happy with the choice he's making, he knows he'll take it back in a heartbeat. And that's what worries him.
there's a man here called maxen ashley colchester ash i've been spending time with him he's helping me with some stuff that he's kind of an expert in i trust him
[Get to it, Barnes.]
his profile turned up on that contracting thing i offered him one a contract i mean but i'm not signing anything unless you guys speak to him first
glad you're making friends, bucky what'd you need either of us to talk to this dude for?
I mean don't get me wrong, if you get hurt in any capacity I'll kick your guy's teeth in with prejudice, but otherwise if this is what you want and you're sure about the guy, which sounds like it on both counts, then you gotta know any choice you make has my support.
A president. My, that certainly is a new one for the city. Though I will say, he isn't the first, and likely not the last, person brought here who resembles Steve.
( she remembers only one other who looked similar, but there had been key differences that set them worlds (or in that case - universes) apart. )
Anyone who pays any mind to what those ads say is a fool. The city knows how to twist the truth and spin it to fit its narrative.
And of course, we'll talk to him. If that's what you want.
your opinions matter most to me i ain't looking for your permissions or blessings or whatever but i need you to have at least met him before and to understand that it's got nothing to do with the way he looks
