“How do you know that?” Sam demands. He’s shouting now too, both to be heard over the screaming voices, and to try to drown them out. “Why can’t it be him down there? Steve got Bucky back and the Capitol brought back Psiioniic, why can’t it be Riley?”
As soon as he hears what he just said, it yanks him back out of himself a little. He didn’t mean that, he really didn’t. He wouldn’t wish that for Riley.
The cave snaps back into focus as he notices just how still Albert is. How Sam isn’t sure if Albert’s even listening to him or if he’s caught up in the screaming. It’s not just Riley anymore, Sam can hear that now, but it’s Jet and that doesn’t make it any easier to try to believe what Albert had said about the Gamemakers. It’s true, it has to be, but those are Sam’s brothers down there and he doesn’t think he’ll ever forgive himself if he turned his back and it was really them.
“Albert.”
That’s all he gets out. Honestly, he has no idea if he’s trying to talk him down or still trying to argue for going in there.
