[ She's been studying him since before the briefing. In truth, Peggy's been looking for similarities not only between the Barnes she knew and the one before her, but also from Steve to this man. After all, this Bucky is a Captain America, shouldn't that prove to hold some similarities to the one that had left her?
It also feels terribly like a relief. She'd thought herself alone. Steve, dead. Barnes, fallen. She still had the Commandos, but it was rather different with them. They hadn't had a connection to who Captain America was before the procedure.
When he speaks, she's thrown off guard again. He's not anyone she knows, though she's going to have to learn in a hurry, given her assignment (one that makes her bristle, and yet at the same time, she would rather accompany Thompson on a willing date than let anyone else have this gig). ]
I know. I am, as well.
[ Because that's the truth. Captain America had a compass with her photo in it, which means the world expects to see her with him. If they want to do this right and do right by his memory, she's willing to play along.
Lucky for her, it seems that Barnes isn't only wanting her to look pretty and polished for a few photography opportunities. ]
Oh? And what did your team do for you?
[ Best to find out precisely what he's after before she goes ahead and signs away everything she might not be willing to give, especially seeing as she doesn't actually know this man. ]
