[They have seconds at best. So far Levi hasn't played hero and tried to take him down in the car - smart man - and right now Bucky's really, truly hoping it stays that way. He's had enough killing and as far as he can tell, Levi's just a bystander. Probably blood on his hands if he's been out on the field but he still considers him an innocent.

Bucky's mouth presses into a thin line as he checks the mirror again, going with the short version that doesn't involve saying by the way, I assassinated political officers for decades ]

I've done stuff I'm not proud. Pissed off a lot of people and I think that might be one of them. [ Maybe that's the watered down, light version. Bucky's well aware that he's doing everyone he murdered for Hydra a disservice by downplaying it. He still does it anyway because they're dead, that cop might not be a cop and he thinks he wants to live. Bucky hasn't worked out if he's being a coward.

The cop kills his engine, just a large shape exiting the vehicle, no distinguishable features. Bucky wets his lips, glancing over at Levi and he's taking it surprisingly well considering he could be in the middle of crossfire a few seconds from now. The man has a hell of a poker fast, maybe even better than his ]

I'll handle it if it looks like this isn't a normal traffic stop.

[ He isn't Steve, he doesn't say something like "trust me" or anything like that. ]
