[ It's never mattered to Sam. Far as he's concerned, there's no difference between any of the Avengers, aside from their particular skill set that made them such a damn good team. They were all just fighting to make the world a better place, to protect the people who just wanted to live their lives.
Well. There's a difference between him and Stark, but that's a different complicated mess.
Sam knows the moment that he's hit closer to home than he thought. Mentioning the Raft - it'd been part because he doesn't want to hide it any more, because he needs to work through and that comes with talking about it, and part because he knows damn well that you can't tell someone it's okay to open up and be vulnerable if you aren't willing to do it first.
His mind brushes against hers on instinct, not looking to get entrance or even to pick anything more up - more of an acknowledgement, understanding in the form of warmth and a flurry of feathers.
He remembers what he'd told Shiro - people are afraid of what they don't understand, and they're always looking for someone to blame. It's too easy for those to combine. ]
Me neither. There's more than a few of us here who know what that's like, and it's too many. Sounds like you know even more about that than me. [ But she's already said she's not ready to talk about it, so he pulls back a little. ] And it's also a real shitty first time conversation; I promise I do know how to talk about other things. Can't promise it's not just bird puns though.
