[Tony doesn't exactly meet Bucky's gaze. At least not at first. It's not that he has something to hide, he doesn't. But this isn't exactly easy either.]
I'd say you're hardly a tool, as is. [He reaches up to rub at his ear, stalling. There are things only he can offer Bucky. And now's hardly the time to hold back.] You're already coded into F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s system. Did it weeks ago. So you tell me.
Can you participate as more than a tool? I'm going to look infinitely stupid giving you clearance if you don't even trust yourself, have to say.
[ The thing is that Bucky doesn't entirely trust himself. He figures Stark has to know why, too, but until someone shows up with those codes, Bucky seems to be relatively... disarmed. He'll still be on edge about it, though, until he's sure that they're gone from his brain.
He wants this, though. After Azzano, he'd followed Steve back into the war. There's really no question that he'll do it again now. Maybe he's an idiot or a glutton for punishment. He doesn't know, but he wants to help them and he wants to cover them in a fight if it comes down to it, even Stark. ]
