Rumlow is given the full debriefing on what exactly it is they're going to do here. He knows it top to bottom, same as he always does- but even then, coming face to face with it is shocking. This mission will be a tough one.
He knows the Asset will only be activated by his presence. He takes a deep breath, then heads inside, trying not to react to what he sees in front of him. He's a professional, he knows exactly what to do, so he smiles as his Soldier- James comes to life. Rumlow's surprised they even attempted to use that name, seeing as how violently they shocked it out of him. He wonders if the person this empty shell used to be was anything like this man sitting in front of him with a smirk on his face, but he pushes that thought away.
There's no room for that here.
"Came as soon as I could. You know I'd rather be here anyway." He comes over, tilting his head to the side eying James's face. So much expression, so much emotion, and yet- still an empty shell. He has to keep reminding himself of that. "How're you feeling?"
:D
