[That's interesting.]

He's important to you.

[It's not jealousy that he's feeling. She was never his and they were never anything of importance, they had their missions and they both knew that. It's... something different, a longing almost for someone to care about enough that he'd want to lie to them to protect them. That he'd want to protect them at all, actually.]

I'll kill him if he doesn't stop chasing me.

Not just to me. [Here, before meeting Captain America officially, Mako hadn't known the ties that bound him to her once-handler. Before America, Mako hadn't known there'd be much more of her once-handler's past to figure out, until it hit her in the fact in the form of an exposition she'd had to grit her teeth through to keep a straight face. He had more than just a past, he had a family - could have it again.

She knows the first signs of a dissonance in cognitive calibration, it's the hesitation.]

I will rip you to shreds if you do, and you'll thank me for it.

[Raleigh Becket doesn't mean anything to him. Not a single thing. The more he repeats that, the more he'll believe it. He's nothing but the vague ideas of memories from a life long past.]

[There's - sentiment across her face in the flash of a moment - a softer, more bitter smile that says she never will. She'll let Raleigh chase after the ghost of his brother and not tell him she's known, always known, always always known, because that's what she does. She lies. Spies lie.]

Sure thing.

[The soldier settles her with a glare.]

Do you think I'm just making idle threats?

[dorothied]

Do you think your threats scare me?

[He arches an eyebrow at her. It should. She knows his reputation, knows that it's not based on myth and heresy, that it's all true.]

This is a waste of time.

[dorothied]

[Yes, well. He's been asleep for the better part of the nineties, so she'll forgive him the transgression of not knowing who he's dealing with.]

You should visit the museum.
