my North, my South, my East and West, my Winter Soldier

by Candyfairey

Set right after CA: TWS. After a young woman finds Bucky Barnes and decides to take care of him, Fury and Steve both agree that he needs to get back to himself instead of bringing him immediately into S.H.I.E.L.D. Along the way Kenzie and Bucky fall in love but it isn't easy with their pasts as well as present things trying to keep them apart.

1. Chapter 1 Prologue

AN: This is my second fic in the Marvel universe. I was inspired to write it after seeing The Winter Soldier. Also the title of this story is from the poem "Funeral Blues" by W.H. Auden with my added My Winter Soldier bit. Enjoy!

Prologue

Kenzie woke up in the middle of the night to Bucky groaning in his sleep.

"Bucky, Bucky wake up," she reached over and shook him lightly. "Bucky."

She shrieked when he woke, swinging his fist at her and moving on top of her, straddling her.

She felt the coolness of his metal hand wrap around her throat and her eyes went wide.

"Bu…Bu…..ky…" she croaked, pulling at his metal arm with both hands as hard as she could as his hand constricted her airway.

Her breath completely cut off, her vision began to blur and tears leaked from her eyes.

No, he had to snap out of it. He'd never forgive himself. After everything they'd dealt with so far this couldn't happen. She tried to smack at his face to get him to snap out of it but her arms just stayed by her side as her vision went black.
