I believe his partner is far more reasonable. It might be that this Bucky has good reason to worry about what you're trying to do, but a cult seems a rather farfetched notion. Nevertheless, I told him we were quite fine without him joining us.

He wanted to know our end goal, which naturally I refused to tell him.

[ Which may or may not have made Bucky's paranoia worse, but see if he gives a damn. ]

I didn't think I'd meet someone more paranoid than you.

Yes, I was equally surprised.

[ There's a touch of amusement attached to the thought. ]

Were you aware he has a metal arm? He was very careful to keep it hidden during the meeting. It was of a material I've never sensed before. Very interesting, all the more so when he seemed perfectly capable of controlling it as if it were a normal arm.

No, I think his arms have always been covered. A special prosthetic, perhaps? I think he's powered in some way, maybe the same as Steve. I can tell he's had a hard life. He struggles with positive thinking, which is probably why he couldn't believe in the best here.

It's advanced technology, whatever it is. It's also made of a metal that I can't control. Steve's shield is partly made of that same material, but since it's an alloy I can still control it.

Most likely. I don't think he's prone to sharing, even less so with you or I. Since he's so convinced that we're forming a cult of some sort.

You know, I'm going over it in my head, and I can understand where it came from. I'll try to dissuade him. I'll be back to his relationship therapist before too long. I doubt Steve knows how aware I am of his love life.
