Re: Mind-to-Mind: Steve/Preston
[Steve, who has no protection against these kinds of things, offers no resistance. It's true that he understands the sudden thrusting of a person into a world that's not their own, he empathizes and he feels that pain acutely, as grateful for Bucky and Peggy as he is. His desire to reach out is compassionate. He thinks Preston is a good guy. He respects him. Sure, that's Steve's natural inclination—to trust and respect, but it's been confirmed with Preston, in the meeting and now. He knows he's intruded on private thoughts. If there's a sense of deeper understanding, it's skewed.]
