"Maybe." Soldat's had people telling them it wasn't their fault for a year and a half now. They understand, on one level, intellectually, that they had no choice. They're a weapon, not a person, and weapons fire where they're aimed. That doesn't change their feelings much, though, and the memory of hitting Steve in the face so many times still hurts. The memories of a lot of their missions still hurt. "I still think he might need to hear it. Even if just to know I'm still out here somewhere and remember who I was, now."

Hell. Maybe the Steve here might need to hear it. They haven't really talked about the helicarrier much-- or much, period. It's uncomfortable.
