Steve waited until the room cleared and he approached Fury.
“Yes, sir?” He asked.
“Have a seat, Rogers,” Fury said and Steve sat back down at the table, waiting for Fury to explain himself.
“Is this about Bucky?” Steve asked.
“How much does Bucky tell you, Steve?” Fury asked. Steve looked away, his frustration and sadness creeping into his face.
“About what?” Steve replied.
“About Hydra,” Fury said. “About what he remembers, what’s happening with him now, about his past as the Winter Soldier.”
“Not much, sir,” Steve said guardedly. “But I’m sure he’ll open up. I didn’t really have plans to give what he shares with me to you, though, sir.” Steve was unsure where this conversation was headed. What did Fury want? “And I’m pretty sure he’s adamant about not becoming a part of SHIELD.”
“I know,” Fury said. “I just want to make sure you’re keeping tabs on him.” Steve stood abruptly. This was strange.
“I’m always looking out for him, sir,” Steve said.
“Thank you, Rogers,” Fury said by way of sudden dismissal. “We’ll be talking again soon.” Steve stared at Fury, calculating, confused.
“I don’t understand,” he said.
“It’s better that way,” Fury replied.
