Maybe harder and faster than Steve knows it should.
Especially given Danny didn't actually insinuate it wasn't. That he didn't want it to. He just laid it out there, quick but calm. Like it was a reminder of logistics. Probability. One Steve knew better than anyone on the planet. How many time The Hesse Brothers had slipped through his and everyone else's fingers. How many times the floor was left littered with bodies, either bloodied with death or sullied beyond human recognition.
It's actively an effort. That one second pause. To swallow down an insane need that can barely be reigned back. Especially in this place, with this view, on these chairs. Where it's all too clear, and maybe he can almost risk letting it be that bare. After all these words, and Danny lack of understanding through half the day how much it matters, even when Steve can't let it.
How much that never stops it, even when he has to keep stopping it. Keep doing more.
