[I]t hadn't been the Strike team's fault either. They had just been following orders. It probably hadn't been pleasant for them either. I LOVE the way Bucky takes Steve's attempt to absolve him of responsibility for witnessing Natasha's rapes as a judgment of innocence re: the Strike team. It's such a perfect casualty of the way he's chosen to present the story.
And oh no, Steve! Presumably he's trying not to put Nat in a situation where touch is obligatory, where it would be awkward for her to decline whether she wants to shake or not, but - it looks so bad! Sounds like the shit's about to hit the fan.
