Going after HYDRA directly was the one thing James had never done. He'd been too afraid of recapture - the idea that he might encounter someone who knew his trigger words was terrifying.
For a moment he struggled with himself. Getting Len back was more important than his fear, it was. But he still had to struggle with himself.
Then he snorted, realizing he was being stupid. In 1944, nobody in HYDRA had ever heard of the Winter Soldier. There were no trigger words, yet, so nobody knew them.
"We're not waiting for anything," he growled, pulling himself back out of the hole and falling in beside Rory. His hand rested on the hilt of the cold gun. There would be a certain satisfaction in rescuing Len with his own weapon. "If HYDRA has them, and they realize who Barnes is, it's going to be ugly. They'll assume Len is a Commando, too."
