Bucky just ends up looking skeptically at Steve - not because he disbelieves Steve, because ridiculous as all those words sound coming out of his mouth, they're pretty much on par with what he's come to expect from his - their - lives. But still, "I guess you did win," he has to concede, because - well. He's still only got part of the story, but any HYDRA operative - even himself - that didn't complete his mission had definitely lost. They both know that.

Well, that, and, "Shit." Bucky blows out a breath, but a moment later his lips do twitch up into this crazy, crazy smile, because, "I guess so. I mean - if he'd meant to kill you, it wouldn't have taken two shots." He's a fuckin' better sniper than that.

Still... it's all so much. So much, and that's even leaving anything about his Steve out of it, which... God. God, he kind of has to right now, because the second he really, truly lets himself sit down and think about it... he's probably gonna end up in that bar, himself. At least his serum lets him get pretty drunk, although - "You been at that bar a lot, Rogers?" he asks, softly. "I thought you couldn't really get sauced."
