Chapter 2
Sure Steve made his call to Howard, sure Bucky got a new arm, but things didn't end there. Military was corrupted by men who were literal demons, shooting & brutally killing prisoners of wars, raping their women etc etc.
Not only the military, but government changed too. There were more strict rules, same sex lovers were shot dead, immigrants were under constant surveillance, media was under government, not to mention women had no rights & people were dead if they dared speak against anything.
Even Stark industries were kept an eye on.
Now all government wanted was their golden boy, Captain America. Of course he refused, he didn't want any part in this, but his refusal wasn't that easily accepted, his life was dug open so to find some leverage over him. He knew eventually they'll get their hands on Bucky, so they parted their ways.
Peggy Carter, Steve's closest friend had lend her house as a safe house in London. That was the plan, going to London staying low for awhile. But things changed when Steve's plane crashed into ocean whilst he was fighting those homophobic assholes.
Just like that, life took 180 degree turn for Bucky, he was changed. He swore he'd kill every person in government and amp; military. Over years he realised it wasn't government or military that was at fault, it was a group of people who were bad.
"Hydra" that was the name that group went by. People who knew said these fuckers worshipped Satan himself.
Sure Bucky was successful cleansing half the hydra people, sure he earned himself the name "Winter Soldier" by all the cold blooded killings but ache in his heart for Steve remained constant.
He traveled around the globe, killing whatever fell under the definition of injustice, but never that pain left.
He was old by age, yes but he was stuck in body of a young man.
He thought of men around him, but Steve's smile would appear before his eyes. He thought of killing himself, but again he knew Steve always stood up & never would run away or back down.
This was until he read in paper how there's someone called as Captain America in NY. 65 years, that's how long it was before he could actually meet him. He couldn't believe his eyes that read the news. Of course he flew back to his love.
Some Stark tower was where he lived, he took proper appointment like a common man. But beneath his happiness was deep rooted fear, what if Steve forgot him?
Just as insecurities came, they went away when Steve hugged him & cried like a baby. Kisses were needy & wet, whole team who Steve worked with were left agape.
7 days was all it took to catch up on these lost years. But fate again was a bitch, this time a guy named Thanos was messing around their life.
World was broken & shattered by his weapons, people died every day. Tower saw no sleep but only constant brain storming as to what was to be done.
Howard's son that he was, Tony built a time machine. He suggested they being super soldiers can alter a timeline & get to this bitch of a man.
Steve & Bucky both knew what it meant by going back, same torture, like history would repeat itself. Knowing what loosing loved one means, Barton suggested a plan.
Simple yet twisted, get a girl.
