Ha, no, definitely not be biggest problem when I was seventeen. [When he was that age, he had caught HYDRA's eye and that year of his life would carry dramatic changes in his fortune so to speak. It came with a lot of painful lessons and none of them reminded him at all of uncontrolled and random erections. He had no doubt that difficulty with powers had been as awkward and possibly frightening as his own rather different experiences.]
Keyed to her genetics in that you two are distantly related? So the snipers were there to force you two together, to activate the link? That makes sense, but seems like a waste of a sniper in my opinion. [He didn't particularly like his skills wasted on a 'dive and hide', since a normal individual with firearms skill could manage much of the same results. He suppose he didn't begrudge the Soviets from taking that tactic, but bullets flying caused a lot of turned heads and there were far more subtle ways to achieve a physical connection.
Still, he offered an impressed whistle at the complete volume of information that she had access to. Romanoff was someone who guarded secrets well and never let on that she even was, and any access to her impressive skills would also be invaluable.] Who the hell is Ivan? Just the name alone makes him sound like a jerk-off.
[Of course she had a lot of boltholes. She was a professional, and she knew how to hide in plain sight as well as she did in the shadows. It was natural for her to need to have other places to settle in to spin her webs known as covers.] I suppose a stray cat is about as maternal or paternal as any of us manage on that level. [Not that he viewed Ava back then as a stray kitten, but her being handed off to him had strained the limited 'parental' skills that he had. He developed more as time when on and he was exposed to her.]
That asshole? Yeah, I found him, but he looks pretty bad off. [He shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal, like he expected no less from Rollins, even if the guy tended to be the more cautious of the two of them.] Doesn't seem likely he'll wake up, but I bug him when I'm up on the Station. [Read: Rollins was his literal only friend in this place.]
