"...what?" That was not news that Brandon wanted to hear. If this had been any other situation, then maybe he'd have more time to consider this. Think of the risks, try to come up with another plan, perhaps work around the memory problem somehow. But if the Winter Soldier was going to be waking up anyway, then the question was what he'd wake up as- the soldier, or the assassin.
This changed everything.
Brandon massaged his temples at that, putting his psychic amplifier on the table before he did so. Shit shit shit, that was not something that he wanted to hear. But... he'd signed up to SHIELD knowing full well that things like this might happen. So it wasn't like he could really complain about this being unfair, right? Sometimes life sucked, the only question was what he was going to do about it.
Risk his life for a stranger, or let the Winter Soldier awaken? Neither were things that he wanted, but of the two... he finally nodded. A little reluctantly, but still. "Okay... I'll do it. But I'll need some very specific things, and if even one of them goes wrong, this could blow up in our faces. Can I count on getting what I need for this?"
