[this isn't right. the soldiers are dressed in garb he hasn't seen since to war in the 50s. and even then, the uniforms were being phased out for a newer model. their guns are about 30 or 40 years too old to be standard issue. what the hell was going on?
he doesn't say anything, letting bucky do all the talking. all he can feel on his tongue are words of confusion, wanting to demand to know where they were. and then the saluting, which isn't too odd, given the kind of reaction he generally observed being around othe soldiers. invaders? commandos? he doesn't recognize the names, can't recall any pmcs going by those names. when jim says what happened to them was classified, john just nods in agreement. keeping appearances.
just when big boss thinks this can't get any weirder, when it can't get any worse, he hears the soldier say 'boss'. not too strange, especially if the commanding officer is more on the ground than in a tent. it could just be they're all comfortable with each other. but then he says she and john visibly locks up. there weren't many female officers or soldiers in official military groups, even in his time. the way the grunt says it, john's brain immediately jumps to a conclusion.

Take me to her. Immediately.
[his voice is a little funny, like he's nervous and excited all at the same time. the scouts all nod, looking a little confused, but begin walking back anyway. john follows, unsure what he's going to find.]
