[He nods. Steve knows that can't be helped. It's not as though he ever expected the victim's families to ever be okay with what went down. Knowing it was done under mind control won't magically bring those people back. They have a right to every bit of anger and hurt they must feel.

The rest still comes as a relief which hurts in itself. Steve doesn't even know he can justify wanting the forgiveness of a man who openly admits to hating him at times. It's not like Natasha wouldn't pick up on that.] Maybe I'm crazy for wanting us to be good again. It's not like Tony and I have ever gotten along for longer than ten minutes when someone isn't trying to kill us.

[He looks at her as if he expects her to point out how absolutely pathetic he is. Really it's just Steve projecting as per usual.] I still care about him, Nat.
