[There is a moment that ALL he was about to reply back with was "Don't call me boss" because... he had no right. He didn't want to hear it. He's still... mad. He knows there re some... issues there. There were things he could have done better. Maybe that's part of why he was still mad. his team fell apart. It started with Grant Ward. Even his own sense of trust was broken by now.]
[Still, he backspaced that and tried again]
Im sure it will be fine. If he wants to talk about rogers ive got more then enough historical and first hand information to offer.
[He knows something about deprogramming, huh? Agent 33, maybe? Or Bakshi, who he might have programmed (that was still up in the air for him, if Bakshi turned or not). But for now, he lets that fall. He doesn't trust Ward still, but he can be civil.]
[For Barnes' sake]
We can work on it together, though if he puts skye in danger one of us steps in and she goes out. she might be able to handle her own but id rather not have her deal with anymore sudden turnarounds.

[Well, he'll TRY to be civil, at least...]

Whatever you think is best.
[Pause. Remember how it felt to have her apologize, remember how it felt...]
