[Her insistence doesn't really help. Bucky's used to that, too - people saying they're okay when they're desperately in need of help, but Cosima's not Steve and it's easier to count to ten, take a breath, and accept that okay. Maybe this isn't something he can fix like that.
At least she's already in the infirmary. That helps make this easier.]
Okay. [And then he forces a small smile, trying to be lighthearted.] David and Jack act like they live here, they probably know where the good stuff is.
[There's a part of him that wants to ask what's wrong, but that's personal and prying and he knows better. Mostly.
So he switches tracks, and keeping trying not to let on how hard it is to just stand here and not do too much to help.]
Sure. Yeah, we can arrange something like that. [He can probably tackle Helena if she tries anything, and he could probably ask Steve or Ben or someone to hang by and get Cosima out of there if it starts getting bad.] Might wanna wait a while, though. I remember how lousy the death toll is.
