"The worst part-" He had to hold it together because he's over this. He'd made his choice to step off the bridge while it was still burning before it took him down along with it. He was done. He didn't have to care anymore and that? That was a fucking relief. "The worst part, Bruce? Was that he knew."

Tony swallowed down whatever tangle of emotion that kept making his voice thick. The reveal had been devastating. What came after?

Something he should've seen coming from day one.

"Rogers knew. Since the Hydra dump. That my parents had been killed, and that Barnes did it." As much as he'd like to believe that brief moment of 'I didn't know it was him-' how could he trust it? After everything he'd been through in the days before, every line he'd tried to give, every pound of flesh he'd offered up to Rogers and the Avengers- he'd finally hit bone. "He lived with me, worked with me, laughed and had me help fund his 'find Bucky Barnes' missions for three years. And never said a word. I had to find out like that. With Barnes three feet to my left. Suffice to say I didn't handle it well."
