[He found an unpleasant shiver track down his spine at the thought of being broken down enough to become someone else's weapon. It wasn't that he knew it couldn't happen given how many years he had been under HYDRA's control and no doubt the number of handlers he would have had. No it was the idea that a weapon was wielding another weapon. He found himself firmly opposed to the idea.

That won't happen. For one, I trained her not the other way around. For two, she is not a handler. I refuse.

[He reached out to slide his own hand across Rumlow's back and practically hauled his handler into his lap.]

If she can help break down some of the protocols that are opposing your objectives with me... I could truly become your partner.
