( He snaps, and though there's a dim and distant part of his mind that recognizes he's regretting it already, it's already out. His control over his temper has been tenuous at best for days and days, and that was before they woke up here. That was before the fight with Sam. That was before seeing Steve, and getting hit with a slowly mounting sense of resentment — one that might have tapered off, if it weren't for the fact that the stupid goddamn shield Sam slapped down on the table did nothing. It fixed nothing. He still feels like nothing. )
What else did he tell you? He tell you that you left him the shield? He tell you the first thing he did was give it back to the goddamn government? He tell you some other guy picked it up and started carrying it around? You know a guy named John Walker, Steve? Because apparently he knows all about you, he's been calling you his brother all over the news. The new Captain America, plucky sidekick and all. But you didn't know any of that before you opened your mouth, did you? So how about instead of 'give Sam a break' you give me a break. How 'bout that.
