And here is the next chapter. Thanks for the support in this story. As always, I don't own anything you recognize except for Tara and Amber and whatever the story plots I modify. Everything belongs to their rightful owners. Without further ado, here is the next chapter.

We all sat in the truck, being transported to who knows where. "It was him. He looked right at me like he didn't even know me." Steve said, with a hint of sadness and confusion on his face.

"How's that even possible? It was like seventy years ago." Sam said in disbelief.

"Zola. Bucky's whole unit was captured in '43, Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall. They must have found him and..." Steve trailed off.

"None of that's your fault, Steve." Natasha said.

"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." Steve said and he then looked at me and asked, "Did you know who he really was?"

"No. They wouldn't tell me who he was or anything about him, most likely afraid he would remember who he really was. I'm sorry, Steve." I explained. I truly was sorry, I wish I had known about it along time ago, but Hydra doesn't trust anyone, not even their best agents.

I looked down and noticed the blood seeping through my shirt. Damn, the ice must have melted. Sam noticed it too and said, "We need a doctor here. We don't put pressure on that wound, she's gonna bleed out here in the truck." Suddenly one of the guards pulled out an electric rod and neutralized the other guard and knocked him out. They then removed their helmet and revealed a woman with brown hair in a bun.

"Ah. That thing was squeezing my brain." She said and Sam and I looked at her in confusion. She then looked at Steve and asked, "Who are these guys?"

We were brought to an underground facility and a doctor came towards us and Maria Hill said, "GSW. She's lost at least a pint." She explained.

"Maybe two." Sam said. Sam and I got protective with each other when it came to injuries. Sam and I cared about each other like a brother and sister.

"Let me take her." He said and motioned for me to follow him. Ironically enough, we all went to the same spot and we walked in and I saw Nick Fury on a bed, looking alive. Well damn, I should have seen that coming.

"About damn time." Nick Fury said to us. My wound was addressed to and wrapped up in bandages. At least the bullet went completely through so I didn't have to worry about them removing it. "Lacerated spinal column, cracked sternum, shattered collarbone, perforated liver, one hell of a headache." Nick explained his injuries and I felt queasy. How the hell was he alive honestly? That would kill anyone with all those injuries.

"Don't forget your collapsed lung." The doctor said when he finished up with me.

"Oh, let's not forget that. Otherwise, I'm good." Nick said.

"They cut you open, your heart stopped." Natasha said this time. I could see relief written on her face.

"Tetrodotoxin B. Slows the pulse to one beat a minute. Banner developed it for stress. Didn't work so great for him, but we found a use for it." Nick explained.

"Why all the secrecy? Why not just tell us?" Steve asked, feeling conflicted with everything that's happening. I felt for him.

"Any attempt on the director's life had to look successful." Hill explained.

"Can't kill you if you're already dead." Nick added. "Besides, I wasn't sure who to trust."

3rd Person POV

Bucky's mind was all over the place. Flashbacks of his past, of the man on the bridge and of the woman he was sent to kill. He knew those two but he didn't know how. He never saw them before in his life.

"So, Clarissa Davis is not her real name. Smart." Pierce said as he looked over her file. "Tara Caine. I gotta hand it to her, she had everyone of us fooled." Pierce added, closing her file.

Clarissa Davis. Why did that name sound so familiar to him? Another flashback came into his head of the woman.

"Hey Soldier, I brought food." The woman who he was targeting came into the room with a bag of food.

"I don't need food." Was his short reply. She rolled her eyes and sat the food down on his lap.

"Everyone needs to eat, idiot. You may be Hydra's secret and most powerful weapon but you're still human and you have human needs." She explained it so simply. She was the only know who tried to help him and show him...kindness.

"Why do you care so much?" He asked, annoyed and confused. He couldn't understand any of this. She just sat and looked at him for a moment.

"Because, I'd like to think we're friends in some way but mainly because we're partners. We're supposed to have each other's backs right?" She answered. He felt something inside of him change at her answer...

"The man and the woman on the bridge..." His mind flashed to Steve calling his name and the woman giving him an expression that she knew him.

"You met the man earlier this week on another assignment." Pierce answered. "The woman, she was your mission 2 years ago and managed to slip away from you."

"I knew them." The Soldier said.

"Your work has been a gift to mankind. You shaped the century, and I need you to do it one more time. Society is at a tipping point between order and chaos. Tomorrow morning we're gonna give it a push. But, if you don't do your part, I can't do mine, and Hydra can't give the world the freedom it deserves." Pierce explained, trying to get the Winter Soldier back on mission.

"But I knew them." The Soldier shot back.

Pierce turned to the scientists and said, "Prep him."

"He's been out of cryo-freeze too long." The scientist said.

"Then wipe him and start over." Pierce said and left the room.
