[ The predator bares its fangs, his mind reeling at how Zemo could compare them, how he could possibly think his mercenary tactics would parallel to anything the Winter Soldier did. Nostrils flaring and eyes blazing, Bucky barely keeps his fists at his side. ]

[ He didn't have that luxury, didn't have the capacity for choice. Whatever husk they made him out to be could never even conceive of disobedience. The punishment was too severe.
But here Zemo stands assured, firm on his self-righteousness, acting as if they're anything alike. As if Bucky decided to murder people wholesale. As if he furthered some noble cause.
As if the nightmares don't come for him every day. Bucky seethes, searching Zemo's face to try and discern his ulterior motives here. Is he trying to gain sympathy, or solidarity? Is he trying to ease Bucky's guilt in his own skewed way? What's the goal here? That feels more disorienting than the assessments themselves. ]
