[She gives a small laugh at that, her gaze darting to the side for a moment as her lips quirk, and there are old shadows in her gaze.] Even after all that, hmm?

[Her gaze comes back to his then and she taps him lightly on the nose with the tip of one finger, her expression surprisingly solemn.] I'll do my best. No more lies to protect you. And if there are things you want to know... About you. About me. About us. I'll answer those too. But only if you want to know.

You think I never lied to protect anyone? Unless I disappear one day, and come back as the man you knew, Steve never hears about this.

[He gives her an unimpressed look when she taps his nose, but he's listening. He thinks about it this time. There's no question that it's easier to live with even part of the truth, and the person he's supposed to become isn't the person he is... But he can't bring himself to close that door completely. It's part curiosity, part concern, and, admittedly, part desperation to find a little bit of something he can still change.]

I want to know all of it.

He won't hear of it from me. [It's a promise she can easily give. She knows how much guilt Steve already carries from those days. The grief. The loss. She doesn't want to add to that. And she can guess what the knowledge that his best friend had been left alive and lost after that grim mission would do to him. He'd never forgive himself. Her lips quirk faintly.] I'm good at secrets, at least. I struggled long enough in deciding whether I should tell you. Now it is your secret to tell, or not.

[She waits while he thinks that over, patient. Willing to accept whatever he decides. She's not very surprised by his answer, but she gives him a crooked smile in reply.]

I'll tell you all of it that I know.

Good.

[If Bucky has his way, Steve will never have to hear about it, but he knows this place too well. It's a matter of time.

He nods, and shifts a little, settles in to listen. Natasha tells him everything that she knows.]
