He nods. Because... yeah, it is pretty obvious, at least to Steve's mind, what the Admiral would have offered. The not-so-crazy thing is, if the Admiral had found him, offered him a deal right after Bucky fell from that train -

Steve would have jumped at it like a hound after a hare. And now... now, Steve wonders if he's a goddamned fool for not asking for more. But he's not sure he could, and live with himself. How can he take the easy way out, just ask the Admiral to fix everything, for a few months or years of service, when he's made a mistake so deep that he's not sure he can even see the bottom of it?

But how can he not? Why should Bucky suffer for Steve Rogers' pride?
