When Thea's gaze landed on him, and as he watched the color drain from her face, a feeling in his gut didn't sit well. Bucky recognized that demeanor the snow leopard was expressing- it's almost like fear. The way she hid behind the Ascendants leader, the hard glare she sent in his direction- he seen it all before. During his time as the Asset, he was ordered to test the loyalty of his clanmates from his handler. With each person he approached, he vividly remembers the terrified expressions on their faces, their voices pleading with him. Back then, he was merely a weapon- he could not be pleaded with. He did what he was told, with no hesitation. But Thea here, no matter how far he dug into his skull, he couldn't find her anywhere. He's not sure why she's afraid of him, it doesn't make sense- people here don't know about the asset!

And then, all of his thoughts paused when her voice spoke up again. This time, the cheerful tone she had was nowhere to be found. "Him. That's who I saw." Her haunting words met his ears, Bucky beginning to feel his heart beat in his chest. Him? That's who she saw? Without a doubt, she sounded accusatory, and the way she hid behind her leader made it even more believable. Bucky had no idea what she was talking about, considering Bucky hasn't left Sunhaven's territory.
