Steve nodded thoughtfully. He didn't know how long Tony had been a member of HYDRA - or rather, how short a time. All he really knew was that Tony was senior to him, and he hadn't asked just how Tony had come to join up. So he had to assume the 'big guys' were paranoid about Steve, which was understandable.
"Yes, sir," he said, and took another lick of his ice cream, content to wait. "It's just that I don't want to get blood all over your nice stuff," he added wryly. He hadn't meant to get so messy, it was only that he'd basically panicked when the moment had come, and slashed her throat before she could scream.
As he spoke, the face of the woman he'd killed flashed in front of his eyes, bringing up feelings of horror and sadness at what he'd done that he tried to push aside. It was a terrible thing, but obviously he'd had no choice. Her death was necessary for the good of all - Tony wouldn't have asked him to kill her if it weren't true.
Nevertheless, it felt bad, and he looked down at the floor as he waited.
