In your world. [He shakes his head, and maybe looks a little pleased when he says,] They didn't win the war in mine.
[Even if he can't look too pleased, because they lost... but they didn't disappear. Far, far from it. And if they're not careful, they're going to start another war. He feels like his own world is on the brink of something terrible, and part of the only reason he's here is because he won't miss anything back there while he does this.
While he finds the answers he needs to do what needs to be done back home.
At the question, though, Steve frowns. And asks, honestly,] Why do you think you have to be him for me to care about you?
[Whether you're exactly like him or not, you're still Bucky. You're still his family. And even if you weren't any of those things - you're still a person who has been through shitty things and that deserves his attention and his concern. Otherwise he wouldn't be a good candidate for this warden job - he wouldn't be Steve Rogers.]
