[He stirs after a moment or two, giving Howard a fuzzy blink before nodding.]

[vibrantium]

[He folds his hands, leaning down at him.]

Who do you serve?

[deadandred]

SHIELD, sir. [For a moment it feels ...almost wrong to say that, but he pushes that back. He pushes a lot of things back. They're not relevant to his orders.]

[vibrantium]

...good enough.

[He stares at him.] And who am I?

[If this worked, he should say director of shield. but if it didn't...well no small loss. He wouldn't remember him taunting him at least]

[deadandred]

The director of SHIELD. [Which isn't a lie, really, just -- misplaced in time.]

[vibrantium]

Good.

[He puts a hand on Barnes's head] One of our agents has turned traitor. He threatens everything we're trying to do here. I need him eliminated.

[deadandred]

[The touch just gets a slightly confused look from him, but he nods.]

Time limit?

[vibrantium]

Today.

As soon as you can.

[deadandred]

[And there's a nod.] Target?

[vibrantium]

Captain America.

[There's no hesitancy in his tone]

[deadandred]

[There is certainly some in Bucky's movements, however, a faint look of doubt there.]

Yes, sir.
