This may result in a long litany of "Steve, is it true that...?" or a series of confused Internet queries
This seems to suggest that Steve is the one person who Bucky actually trusts to tell him the truth (which I would pay all my trash dollars for), and if anyone, ever, betrays even the merest involuntary hint of amusement or even surprise at any of Bucky's questions Steve enters some kind of cold-fury beast-mode. But regardless, Bucky starts getting really embarrassed asking Steve all these incredibly obvious/bizarre questions so he keeps trying to do research on his own, getting more and more confused and suspicious of everything he finds, which ends in some kind of horrifying meltdown/spillover of all Bucky's paranoid fears and Steve cautiously rubbing his back while reassuring him that yes, it's legal for former soldiers to ride public transit and no, Bucky, the US was not ruled by a theocratic-god emperor during the 1960s and no, Buck, hot dogs do not contain human meat, not even the generic brand ones.
