Loved this scene with Steve taking Pierce's role! I loved the Pierce-casually-slaps-the-asset-while-terrified-armed-security-guys-look-on scene in TWS because it cemented how much power Pierce had over it, and also what an arrogant, unlikable dick he was. That Steve has got himself deep enough into his roleplay to do the same thing with the same level of casualness is... well, I ought to say "chilling" or "horrible", but I'm going with "kinda delicious", because I'm trashy like that. :D And then you gave us Steve promising that Bucky can come home and stop fighting and caressing his submissive little face, and that was delicious too. Can't wait to see how the rest of this plays out!
