So, I've noticed the lack of true Winter Soldier, or Zimniy Soldat, in this place. And, as I was rereading Out of Time, I had an idea. A story made up of all of the missions assigned to the Winter Soldier by HYDRA. This story will have continuity with the MCU (as revealed so far) , and I hope you enjoy this first chapter.
A note on the languages
I tried my best to translate all of Bucky's trigger words, and other words, into Russian. However, Russian is a very challenging laungage, and I hold no responsibility for mistranslated words.
A note on characters
Since the Winter Soldier was responsible for many assassinations in the comics, and Marvel Studios doesn't have all the rights to them, some characters are named after characters in the comics, but have no relationships with the FOX lineup. You'll understand as you read on.
Disclaimer: I don't own any if this but the Marvel Comics characters rights are such a confusing cluster f*ck of contracts and studios that I'm not going to bother going into who owns what.

Bucky looked at his own section at the Captain America Wing of the Smithsonian.
Sergeant Barnes was the only Howling Commando to give his life in service of his country.
Bucky put his hands to his head. One warm hand, one very cold hand.
Arnim Zola with snow falling around him.
"Sergeant Barnes."
Falling. Falling.
"Bucky, no!"
Screaming.
Sergeant Barnes was the only Howling Commando to give his life in service to his country.
"You're work has been a gift to mankind."
"I'm not going to fight you. You're my friend."
"Sergeant Barnes."
"You're name is James Buchanan Barnes."
"You shaped the century."
Sergeant Barnes was the only Howling Commando to give his life in service to his country.
"Bucky?"
"I need you to do it one last time."
Bucky dragged his fingers threw his hair. He ripped out a few.
I need to know who I am.

Bucky went through HYDRA files online. It was mostly encrypted. But Bucky himself used to be a HYDRA agent. It was easy.
Bucky read through. The Ten Words...skip. Vasily Karpov...skip. Aleksander Lukin, Alexander Pierce. Skip. KGB...skip. Black Widow, red room, skip. 1991, December 16. Hmmm, Maybe later. Zimniy Soldat. Yes, that was it.
First Misii. Otchet Misii. 4 maya 1955. May 4, 1955.
Lukin hated Siberia. It was the coldest part of the Soviet Union. Even for Russia. And HYDRA, as a "dead" organization, couldn't exactly afford real heat.
Lukin had been promoted, but it felt as if he had been demoted. Since Zola had to work full-time within the boundaries of Operation: Paperclip, he had no time to take care of the Asset, so Lukin had been "promoted" to Handler of the Zimniy Soldat.
And he was about to send the Soldat on his first mission.
...
...
...
"Wake him up." Lukin comnanded.
"We need clearance code." The Doctor said.
"Oh-one-two-five-Winter-Soldat." Lukin added.
"And you've given it." The Doctor said.
And suddenly, the air was filled with screaming.
...
...
...
"Zhelaniye. Rzhavyye. Semnadsat'. Rassvet. Plita. Devyat. Dobrokachestvenyy. Vozvrashcheniye domoy. Odin. Gruzovoy avtomobil'."
Lukin closed the Red Book.
"Good morning, Soldat." Lukin told Bucky Barnes, who didn't think of himself as Bucky Barnes but instead thought of himself as the Winter Soldier.
"Ready to Comply." Soldat said.
"I have a mission for you." Lukin said. "Wetwork."
"Target?" Soldat asked.
"A woman. Near Jasmine Falls. Her name is Itsu Akihiro. She is pregnant. And you must prevent her child from ever being born. You have one week to kill her. No witnesses. You're buyer is named Romulus."
...
...
...
One day later
Soldat walked into the cabin located in Jasmine Falls. He found Romulus waiting for him.
"You know why you are here, Soldier?" Romulus asked.
"Itsu." Soldat replied.
"Do you know why I want her dead?"
Soldat stared at Romulus blankly.
"Because, the villagers believe her child is destined to kill me. But Daken Akihiro will not live to fight me." Romulus said. "Because you will kill her."
There was silence between the two men.
"Go store you're gear in the back, Soldier. I want confirmed death tomorrow night, so you can leave my house, and return home."
...
...
...
Soldat had watched the house all day. He had left Romulus' house early in order to do so. The house was ten miles from town. That meant no one would hear their screams.
He would kill the woman tonight. When she was sleeping.
...
...
...
That Night
Soldat walked into the house. The kitchen was on his left. There was a gun on a small table in the corner. Soldat took it and pocketed it. He turned and saw a butcher knife headed for his face. He ducked and the knife stuck into the wall.
It was the pregnant woman, Itsu. And she had a pistol pointed straight at his face.
She fired and caught his faceplate. As she was reloading the pistol he pulled out one of his own. He shot, and hit her stomach. She fell to the floor. He walked over to the gasping woman, and put a bullet in her head.
Soldat removed the ruined faceplate. He breathed in the air of the cabin. And that's when a bullet hit his metal arm.
Soldat turned and shot the gun out of the man's hand. The man grabbed his hand, and fell to his knees. He looked at Soldat, and gasped.
"Barnes?"
Soldat put a bullet in his head. Soldat left to give Otchet Misii to Romulus.

Jasmine Falls Outlook
Written by Ogun Takiti
Woman Itsu and brother Jim Morita were found dead in their home last night. No witnesses, no suspects. Itsu's child was also killed in the savage attack.

Lukin watched as Zimniy Soldat was put back under.
Then he made a phone call.
"Zola? It's Lukin. Yes, the mission was successful. I think Soldat is in timely condition for any mission you might assign him."
...

..To Be Continued?
Please review, as it makes me update faster. Also, one last thing. The chapter titles are named after the dates of all of the Soldier's missions.
