   Summary

   Only half of Bucky’s listening. The part of his brain that stays at attention takes in the gravelly lilt of the man’s voice, filters it through the next, more analytical part of his mind that sifts for valuable information. Recognizing it as extraneous, he lets the input become a stream – in one ear and out the other – until, finally, Bucky’s patience grinds up against the grit of arrogance.

   “The hell are you talking about, Zemo?”

   —

   Or: sometimes Zemo talks too much. Bucky can work with that.
