[ Though the story of the Winter Soldier is far less heroic and much more tragic. So that makes it of less interest to some who don't wish to dig that far. ]
Yep, not much I wouldn't do for the guy at this point.
[ He's definitely one of Steve's major weaknesses and anyone looking can exploit it. Ouch, Five hit a soft spot with that last comment.]
Even though I know I can't, it has never stopped me from trying.
[ He won't comment on his frustration levels or the guilt he feels when he loses people. ]
[ His siblings are his weakness too, always had been, always will be. He didn't mean to! ]
That's the right answer. And the right attitude. Difficult doesn't mean impossible.
[ He doesn't have to, Five know those very well. ]
And talking about that, I'm sure you've got more important things to do than chat with your girlfriend's brother. We can continue this when we meet in person.
[ Heh he doesn't even doubt that Five understands his meaning as he got the impression that he and Rey were very close. What wouldn't a person do for their family? But he chooses not to say anything else on the subject.
He also doesn't say anything when Five refers to Rey as his girlfriend. They hadn't really been seeing each other long enough for that, but hey not like he would protest things if they got to that point.]
No problem, I'll see you and your...you know I am just going to call him your 'brother' even if that isn't correct. It just feels less weird than saying 'other you'. Anyway see you two on Thursday!

We tell people we're twins, so you can use that in public if it makes things easier. See you then, Mr. Rogers.
