More intense? How do you get more intense than that? It's not that she doubts him, quite the opposite, actually. It makes more sense than him owning a boxing gym. He is way too badass for that. The Bucky and Steve shiz, well, she'll just have to grill them at some point. Feel it out. Bucky not being related is believable enough. Why should she get to keep anything good in her life? Fuck you, universe.

Even this... Her and Brock, it's fragile. Temporary. Held together by mutual affection but not much else. She doesn't want to lose him. She doesn't want this to just be a cover or a fluke, but it doesn't make sense any other way.

"There's... some other stuff." One more thing she has to tell him while she still can. Something she's not sure he's going to believe, but after hearing all that stuff about dudes frozen in ice for decades, he might take it pretty well. "I remember seeing-- being around and seeing and... fighting? People that could... do stuff. You know? Stuff they shouldn't be able to do."

How the fuck is she supposed to explain this and not sound insane?
