Prologue
1942
"Bucky!" Steve shouted as he launched himself out of the train. He reached out to grab Bucky's hand while the train sped around the mountain.
Bucky grabbed his hand just the metal railing broke free. Steve tried to pull him up but another Hydra bastard showed up. Steve kicked his shield towards the wall causing it to bounce on the walls and hit the Hydra goon in the face. He fell backwards into the next car. That gave Steve enough time to pull up Bucky onto the train.
"Thanks, punk." Bucky breathed out.
"Yeah, don't mention it." Steve panted slightly as he kicked his sheild back to his arm. They start to laugh just as the Hydra soldier charged them.
"Bucky!" Steve pushed him out of the way as the Hydra soldier grabbed Steve and jumped out of the train's gaping hole.
"STEVE!"
Steve opened his eyes to find his body being dragged over the snow. He saw blood trailing from his right ar- well. Not an arm anymore because it's gone. The same with his left leg. He started to panic and tried to wiggle free.
They drug him using a syringe when the wriggling became too much for them to handle.
"He will be my perfect attack dog. Wipe him again and freeze him."
"Where do you want us to put him?"
"Put him in the cryo tank labeled: 'The Winter Captain'. And only wake him when the situation is needed."
Hands were on his face. He opened his eyes to see a blurry face.
"My Winter Captain, your time has begun."
The white shocks of electricity flowed through his whole body as his memory of this conversation and every moment before was wiped from his mind.
