The Winter soldier has never known kindness from anyone. When he starts receiving it from the new doctor brought to Hydra against her will, it resonates in him. Even after being wiped, he remembers her face, that she is a friend, she is good. He will protect her, not because he's ordered to, but because he wants to. His heart and head aren't as heavy when she's around.

I couldn't be sure of what he would do to me, but I knew he wanted me for one thing... Revenge.
