(A!A) Steve is not a reliable narrator because he keeps trying to interpret what's going on while it's going on and he's very compromised, even if he thinks he's got a clear head.
The asset is not in physical pain, though he's certainly not comfortable. As trash parties go, this is pretty tame so far. They're not usually so gentle. And the asset knows this, even if he doesn't clearly remember. So he's afraid, but he's also confused because STEVE? Steve Rogers? Captain America? Steve with STRIKE? Captain America with HYDRA? WTF? Is it a test? Is it a trick? Is it real? The asset has to do what it's told, but Bucky would want Steve to be safe and happy...
I realize this raises more questions. *points at title* That's all I'm going to say. *laughs evilly*
