Frustration pricked at Steve as he scribbled notes and experiences down within the file folder. The evasion he expected but he never anticipated so much destruction along the way. Did Bucky really believe he could take down and make a dent in hydra by doing all of this? If only the man allowed for them to help with the mission and not just make them chase him all over the place. He had to know Steve never gave up on anything, especially not with the ones he cared about so deeply. A short list of people, honestly, but he would burn the world down for any of them.

Speaking of, his eyes looked up as a smile stretched out across his face. "Hey Sammy," he responded but the smile dimmed at the words. Nothing good ever came from such words being said. Had Sam finally reached his breaking point and wanted to go back home? Steve couldn't join him, couldn't give up on his last strand of family.

"Sure," he added, setting the file aside, "What's wrong?" Did Sam plan on ending things with him? Had he finally reached the limit of too much? He always worried about that limit being hit.
