Finally, something useful to know about the situation. And apparently Bucky has an entirely incorrect perception of him, one that apparently needs remedying immediately if they're to make any progress as a team. Even one as slipshod and useless as this.

"I'm not safe if I don't know what is happening," he says. His voice is low and even now, but every syllable is stressed like he's speaking to a child that tried to stick a fork in a power socket. "I can't make informed decisions if you lock me in the fucking car without telling me anything." He takes a deep breath, and manages to sound fractionally less irritated. "And if I cared about being safe, Bucky - I wouldn't have broken into the doctor's house, or into his safe. I wouldn't antagonise him to try and get information out of him when I was under arrest, I wouldn't-"

His jaw shuts so hard something audibly clicks, and his scowl returns. "I have done things you cannot possibly imagine, things that have threatened to harm or kill me time and time again, all while blind. But the difference is, I had someone telling me what was there. I can't help," he stresses, again with those long syllables in small words, "if I don't know what is happening." And a sudden furious bark: "Do you understand?!"
