"You know where I'm going with this," Jessica said. "She thinks the most dangerous people are the ones who lie to themselves about who they are the longest."
"Absolutely not," Bucky snapped, stepping forward, his hands bracing the counter like it was the only thing grounding him.
"Jess, are you insane? You will lose everything you've built, everything you fought and survived to become. You really want to give her that satisfaction?"
Jessica moved around the island, calm but resolute, standing in front of him now.
"If we can prove she's assembled a team of enhanced individuals... if we find them? That's all the evidence we need to bury her. No trials. No backroom politics. Just facts."
Bucky let out a low sigh, scrubbing a hand down his face.
"So what, you're just going to stroll into her trap and hope it leads somewhere?"
"Val wants me on her team?" Jessica leaned in slightly, eyes steady. "Then that's exactly what I'll give her."
A smirk ghosted across her lips. "And then we tear her empire down from the inside."
