"Given what I hear about the American education system, I can't say it shocks me.” Bucky dropped out of school at 14 and started military training shortly thereafter, so he may not be the best judge of what public schooling has to offer. Most of his knowledge came from a combination of self-study, special ops training, and Soviet programming. But all things considered, that was a pretty comprehensive education. “Most of the West never gave much of a shit about the Eastern Bloc unless it was politically convenient. Which it wasn’t, once the Wall fell and Red Scare wasn’t as scary.”
Of course, Bucky hadn’t heard that Sokovia was gone, so people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. He knew things had gone down hill Red Skull had gotten a foothold in Novi Grad, but he didn’t think it had been wiped off the map.
“And I am American. Mostly.” He regards her with an expression that isn't a smile, but is soft around the edges, something that makes him look a little less severe. “But my ex was born in the USSR. And I spend a lot of my time punching fascists, so I kind of go where that takes me.”
Both true. She didn't ask for a deep dive into his personal history, and he wasn't inclined to start with one.
no worries!
