Somebody else is not a great patient. Mostly because he spends the entire time he has to be anywhere near medical either shaking in terror, or completely catatonic.

He escaped sooner than Yelena did, despite arguably being just as damaged.

He doesn't reply via the network, since he's just across the apartment. Instead, he limps out of his room and leans on the wall, left arm still looking like he'd been picking awkwardly at the fried wires inside, to say, "It was the helicarriers. What I saw. What it would have looked like if Steve hadn't stopped them."

No preamble, just jumping right into answering her posted question.
