I figured. I've seen people lose hair over the stress.

[endof_theline]

It was a little sickening too. How much money was put into it.

[ciadirector]

Wait until you see the defense budget.

[endof_theline]

I've seen it. I also know that less needs to be put into it because of the Avengers.

[ciadirector]

Yeah, you're welcome.

[endof_theline]

Would've been the same with the Thunderbolts, so don't go giving yourself too much credit.

[ciadirector]

Not really, no. You had about the same brand recognition as a midwestern little league soccer team.

[ Literally. ]

It takes time to build a name for yourself. People take a while to get used to new things.

[endof_theline]

It's not about the name, Val. It's about helping people. It's about protecting what we've got. We'd stand together and defend it all, with or without the name.

That's what no one seems to get.

[ciadirector]

It's a nice sentiment, but you know that's a fairy tale, Barnes.
You can't just be a rag-tag group in the streets against the government. That's what started this vigilante mess.

And isn't that why you joined Congress in the first place? Someone has to do this by the books bullshit.

[endof_theline]

Not against the government. Why does it always have to be one or the other?

Yeah, and it doesn't work. Clearly it doesn't work.

[ciadirector]

No kidding, but I'm just being realistic.

If you don't play the game, you don't have a chance at making something different.

[endof_theline]

You can be realistic and think bigger too.

That's why I did it. It's why I tried. Guess in the end the fight on the front lines always wins out.

[ciadirector]

I'm always thinking bigger. We just have two different ways of thinking that boil down to I've always been a spy, not a soldier.

You'll have your days back on the front lines.

[endof_theline]

Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on you too. We all are.

We're already there.

[ciadirector]

I'd be dissapointed if you weren't, after Yelena's little statement in my ear.

Almost, the ship is just a symptom. What do you think comes next?

[endof_theline]

She's gonna be on your ass more than anyone.

[hopefully.]

The ship is just another situation in a long line of situations. Whatever it is, we'll be there.

[ciadirector]

I'm aware metaphorically, but I also doubt that in a literal sense.

[ Just to make him think about that phrasing. ]

As you should be. I'll wave.
