[Steve seems upset because he is upset - he hates so much about what's happened to Bucky back home, and hearing that it was the same for this Bucky, whether a little or a lot, just makes his guilt feel doubly as heavy. Whatever happened to this Bucky, it was partly his fault - his Steve's fault, but it feels the same - and seeing history mirror itself in the same way... he's starting to understand why they call it the Mirror Barge. And just why it's so awful.
Steve's mouth twitches at that, maybe because he's not sure if he should laugh or cry or grimace or try to smile. His eyes flicker up to Bucky, and at least try to stay there, not look away.] It was two minutes.
[Two minutes that felt like a lifetime. Two minutes that he remembers in extreme detail and sort of wishes he couldn't, but at the same time, it's two minutes he wouldn't trade for much.
Some things, though... lately, some things almost feel like they might be worth having a regret or two.
Not that he can change it. And because he can't, he knows that those two minutes were a far, far better deal than the torture Bucky went through.] They didn't - what did they do to you? [Was it the same? Two minutes of hell, or hours and days and maybe even weeks or months or years of experiments on a table?]
