Hey, so this is the last chapter of the Winter Soldier. But, I am going to be writing a Civil War story line for Kennedy. Lots of Love, Beth

As James sunk below the surface of the water he knew that Kennedy knew him. His body was broken and exhausted, there was no way he was getting out of this. The sun shone above the water almost blinding him, but it was that last sun he was going to see. Just as everything went black he saw the shadow of a hand.

Winter trudged out of the water, dragging the soldier behind her. She dropped him on the shore. She knew she couldn't go back to Peirce, she was more than an emotionless weapon, she had a story and she was going to find out what it was. Taking one more look at the man lying on the shore she turned her back and walked away.

Epilogue

Smithsonian Museum

A petite woman stood in the middle of the Captain America exhibit. Ever wall was covered in something about America's greatest hero and the people who supported him the most. First there was Captain America himself, then a woman that looked a little bit like she did. And then there was James Buchanan (Bucky) Barnes. She skimmed over his biography briefly. He didn't look any different in the pictures than he did in real life. After moving down the line from him there was one last person.

Kennedy Elizabeth Carter was born on
February 22nd 1923 in London, England to
Harrison and Amanda Carter. As she grew, she
followed her older brother Michael and older
sister Margaret on many adventure. When World
War Two started Michael went to war and was
sadly killed in action. Both Kennedy and Margaret
joined the Strategic Scientific Reserve. They were
sent to New York to help with Project Rebirth and
Both meet Steven Rogers at Camp Lehigh where
they helped with his training. After a year at Camp
Lehigh Kennedy followed her sister to England.
In England Kennedy met James Barnes, they fell in
love and were engaged in September 1945. Only
three months later on December 20th 1945
Kennedy joined The Howling Commandos on a
mission to capture Dr. Arnim Zola. While the
mission was successful, Agent Kennedy Carter was
killed in action defending her fiancé and Captain
America. Her death was a devastating loss.

Winter read the story, her story and felt her eyes tearing up. She wasn't crying because of the story, but because she didn't remember any of it. Everything was new to her, she had a brother, sister, and fiancé and she didn't remember any of them. She knew what her fiancé sounded like, but that was only because of their encounters surrounding the hellicarriers. The tears slowly ran down her cheeks, they were hot, and salty. She whipped them away with her right hand not wanting to take her metal arm out of her hoodie pocket. People stared at her as they walked by. One little girl walked up to her completely oblivious to how rude she was being.

"You look like the lady in that picture." The little girl pointed to the picture of Kennedy. Winter laughed a little bit.

"I am the lady in that picture."
