"No, Bucky. That's not the problem. I missed you like hell, that's not a matter of question." Every enemy with half a mind to bring me down knew as much.

Do you honestly think that not getting to know the man you've become as well as I did the kid that I knew, that I loved like a brother, wouldn't be one of the biggest regrets of my life?" I shake my head a little, a sharper gesture than I intend. There's a growing tension in my frame; trying to keep my emotions reigned in isn't helping it.
