Stark Tower: Carol D/Steve R/whoever
[Bucky earns her impassive gaze as he enters the room, but Carol doesn't say anything. She crosses her arms, unsure even with herself if that were meant to command a presence or to defend herself.] Years ago, I was fighting against a mutant with the power of absorption. She could absorb a person's memories and powers by touching. At the time, she couldn't control it. If she held on long enough, she could kill someone. [She runs her tongue over her top teeth briefly.] Didn't kill me, but you can thank Jess for that. Not that being comatose was any better. [She pauses and hesitates. It isn't too late yet if she loses her nerve.]
