Authoranon, you're killing me here. "He could only guess, but sometimes he felt like a prisoner himself, so he tapped into those feelings that he ordinarily shut out very carefully." "Still, the Soldier put on a good American" “A while. Not sure. Feels like decades.” OH BUCKY.
I love all the subtle power stuff here -- The Soldier feels like he has the power in the situation, not realizing that he's as much at the whim of HYDRA as Steve (and simultaneously, not recognizing his ability to defy HYDRA if he ever thought to do it). And Steve has the power to move the Soldier with kindness.
And all the little hints of the Soldier's fears -- the witholding of food, the removal of the arm. Being stuck in this facility and not seeing the outside. The lab.
And STEEB! So kind, so smart, so feisty... <3 <3 <3
