[While the Soldier is making his way home, Rumlow's pacing. He goes over what she might know, stretching his memory back to her dossier. She has a long history, longer than most, and Rumlow's sure she knows things she's not supposed to. Romanova's smart too, well trained in the art of manipulation. If there's anyone here who can rival him in that regard, he's certain she's the one.
If she's gotten through to the Soldier -- Rumlow already dreads the damage done. What has she told him, what memories has she triggered? He regrets now, not putting a blanket order on interaction with those that claim to know him. It had just seemed paranoid at the time. Now he gets to deal with the repercussions.
When the Soldier walks in, Rumlow looks relieved, approaches him and looks him over. No visible damage. They hadn't fought. His lips twitch, unsure if he prefers that or not. Maybe combat would have been better, put her more at odds with him. Damn.]
Bucky. Let's talk.
[Rumlow starts to head back to his room, preferring if no one overheard them, if Chase happens to return.]
