It's crazy and Jake knows it, but if it helps them get through this faster for Tony, then so be it. Even if he knows what he's going to have to do for it to work.
"I've tried it alone, and for some reason it doesn't work unless I kind of draw on another. I didn't kill Cougar and we've tried this several times," he admits, trying to sound more secure in this than he truly feels.
His fingers close a bit against Bucky's. "Promise, I'm not going to kill you. I don't think it even hurts. I just... I kind of have to hurt myself," he admits, then rushes into telling Bucky what he's learned, what had triggered it the first time.
"Turns out I'm from an earlier time line than the others in my unit, than Cougar. Weeks even maybe. I just know that... One of the members of our team turned on us, and he sold us out, and we nearly died and Max got away and it's all because he sold us out and was willing to let us die for him and his money," he says, the words rushing out.
He feels it though, bringing up his other hand and letting out that pain that much as he tries, he still hasn't found a way to get over. There's a blast further down from them, enough to mostly not get them hit he hopes, and praying that it won't bring things down on them.
