Past time.

Elise raised her head and looked at the men walking to the camp. They were all dejected and Steve had a terribly heartbroken look in his eyes. The woman stared at Peggy, who seemed to be thinking the same and her heart stopped when she realised Bucky were not with the rest of the Howling Commandos. Elise stood up quickly and exited her tent, walking to reach Steve and the other men.

"Steve! Where is Bucky?" She screamed and looked at him, her heart beating fast and feeling a lump in her throat. "Where's him?!"

"Elise..."His voice was heartbreaking and she shook her head.

"No..."

"Elise...I'm sorry" Steve's eyes were teary and Elise felt her legs shaking.

"NO!" The woman began to hit his chest with her fists. Steve didn't react. He didn't do anything, thinking that would make her feel better. "YOU PROMISED ME!" Peggy ran to hold her friend as she continued beating Steve. Her cries could be heard around the whole camp and the other men stared at her with sad eyes. They knew James Barnes and it was an appreciated soldier. "BRING HIM BACK TO ME. YOU PROMISED ME, STEVE! YOU SAID HE WOULD BE BACK!"

Colonel Phillips witnessed the whole scene and saw Peggy carrying Elise to her tent as the agent continued screaming while tears fell through her face. The man sighed and remembered Barnes as he came back thanks to Steve Rogers and his courage. He was a brave soldier and knew his lost would be terrible. Phillips entered his own tent and sat down, watching the documents on his desk. He took a pen and began to write.

Soldier James Buchanan Barnes- Dead.

Present time.

Alice stared at Steve as they both were walking down the streets of Vienna. Everybody was too busy to notice them. Around them, several ambulances were taking care of the people who had suffered injuries during the explosion. Steve took Alice's arm and led her to a near bar where Sam was taking a cup of coffee, watching the news. The man nodded looking at Alice and she imitated him.

"Tell me why I'm doing this"

"You want answers. I want to save Bucky"

"You are going to get him, aren't you?" said Sam staring at his friend. Steve nodded. "I'm with you"

"I should be in London, crying Peggy. And you too" Alice felt Steve's angry stare even though he was wearing sunglasses.

London.

Steve had received a message about Peggy's death and that had broken him. She couldn't blame him. Alice herself had cried on Tony's shoulder when Steve told her. Peggy Carter had been an important member of her family even though they didn't have the same blood. Peggy had been part of her childhood and adolescence. She even contacted Alice when she had run away from Elise and everything that had surrounded her grandmother's life.

The funeral had been emotive as Sharon Carter, Peggy's niece made a speech about her. Steve had cried and hold her hand as it was the only thing that could make him not to fall. He had carried the coffin too. Sam were there to help his friend and even Natasha had appeared to consolate Steve. It was hard to see him that way. It was heartbreaking. After that, everything had twisted and changed. A bomb had exploded in the building where the Sokovia Accords were going to be signed. The news said the author of this terrorist attack had being James Barnes.

The Winter Soldier.

Alice could remember that day when Steve admitted that Bucky was the Winter Soldier. But, how was that possible? As far as she knew, Bucky was dead as he had fallen from that train when they were trying to get Zola. Steve told her that he thought the same, until he discovered that Bucky had been used in an experiment to make him an assassin. And they did it. He told Alice how they had fought several times until Bucky escaped.

"And you don't know where is him?" Alice had asked and he shook his head.

"Steve"Sharon came and sat by his side, sliding a folder with documents, looking at the television. "That's all the advantage you will have. Find him quickly. The orders are to shoot him"

She disappeared and Steve raised his head, looking at Sam and Alice.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

Bucharest, present time.

The man asked the shopkeeper in romanian. His left hand, fully covered and even with gloves, were pointing the plums in front of him. He had long hair and a cup covering his head, as he tried to be unnoticed. He smiled the man and turned his head, noticing that the newspapers seller was staring at him with a strange look. The man walked and saw the seller running away.

Something was happening. Something wrong.

The man took the newspaper and read the news about the explosion in Vienna. The government was looking for James Barnes, the Winter Soldier.

"No...no..."His blue eyes looked desperated to the street and then, the man ran away, leading to the aparment in which he had been hidden all that time. He couldn't be caught again. No. He wouldn't be that man. That Winter Soldier. Memories of everything he had done were on his mind and memories of his past life as well.

He had to ran again.

When he arrived to his apartment, he found a tall, blonde man looking at one of his notebooks, reading. It had several notes and a photograph of that Captain America. By his side, there was a girl. Both turned to see him, breathless and scared. Steve Rogers looked at him, at his old friend and swallowed.

"Bucky..."

But he wasn't noticing him at all. He was staring intensely at Alice.

"Elise" he muttered.

Suddenly, everything twisted.
