[Watson sounds like a victim of domestic violence. It's fine, it'll heal, he's not a bad person. Everything was just a misunderstanding. Bullshit. Charles doesn't even want to know what this asshole's done to Watson to get him to cover for his ass so hard. He doesn't blame Watson, but he can't trust him, either.

Misunderstanding with the static? There was no fucking static when-

But Bucky does it for him. Jesus, he's still not even trying to hide it. On some level, Charles can respect that. Owning up to what you did. But on the other hand, it's too little, too late. The guy obviously goes to great lengths to keep himself a goddamn secret, along with whatever he's done. This doesn't make up for shit.]

You're ballsy as hell, aren't you? Maybe it's fine picking on people who just had surgery, or maybe when you've got two arms. You really think you can take me right now? Fucking bring it.

[Does he want this? No, not really. He doesn't like hurting people, he doesn't like being hurt. But at the same time, he really feels like he needs to punch something. Someone. He's scared out of his mind, not sure if he's alone, not sure if anything is even real, and that pisses him off. He wants a reason to be angry, to stay angry, to just let loose and do something really, really stupid.

Maybe if they leave a real mark on each other, he can be sure all of this is real.]

You don't want to hurt me, but you wanted to hurt Charlie? You wanted to hurt Watson? Which the fuck is it? Make up your goddamn mind.
