His expression fell, briefly confused, then he remembered what Zola said,
'accidents will happen. Bucky had been responsible for Howsrd's
death? Steve's heart dropped.
Not his fault. No. Bucky couldn't be held responsible for something he's
done after being tortured and brainwashed. It would kill James Barnes to
know he caused the death of a friend. The man that pulled the trigger
wouldn't have even recognized his name, as Steve saw on the bridge.
He shoved his feelings aside. He could deal with the grief of it later.
Deal with whether he should tell Tony later. Right now, he needed to help
his friend.
"You did complete your mission," he told, voice strained. "Howard Stark is
dead and has been for decades," he added, eyes sad. "The man downstairs is
his son, Tony. "
