[Sometimes Steve wonders the same thing - if he's just running away when he shouldn't be, or if this is really something that can help Bucky. If he's being selfish, or selfless, or if it even matters in the end, because he's here, and he's got a job to do, and he's going to do it.

Having Bucky here, though, sure as hell doesn't hurt.

He glances back as they go down the second-to-last staircase, smiling a little bit.] Look - we're probably both going to be here a while. And we're both wardens. You don't have to call me sir day in and day out, unless you really want to. [He's not sure how well this will go over - but it feels like the right move. On the one hand, maybe it's comforting to him - Steve got used to military life, and he liked it (well, some aspects of it), and Sledge has probably been embroiled in it for a while, now. But on the other, they're really on the same level, on the Barge, and he wants to make that clear, too.] My first name's Steve.

[Or, if that's just too weird -] A lot of people call me Cap, too.
