Silence stretches out again on Steve's end. That means something to him. Hell it means everything to him. The Avengers is about the only thing he believes in despite how bad things went with Ultron and Sokovia. "I was afraid you wouldn't believe me." He confesses softly. Steve takes his eyes off Tony and trains them back towards the window.
He lets out a soft laugh. "It sounds convenient, doesn't it? Delusional. My best friend didn't mean to kill all those people. He didn't mean to try to kill me, Nat, and Sam. HYDRA and the Russians hollowed him out 'til there wasn't a person in there." His voice wavers at the last part. He corrects himself to sound more even at the rest. "There are files. A deeply buried paper trail. Nat got it as a favor to me. It's proof of the Russians involvement at the very least. It wouldn't prove he didn't make the choice to kill How- your parents."
