After The Crash Of Shield...

James "Bucky" Barnes leaned back against the cool metal of the shipping container as he thought deeply about the changes within the past few days. The cool breeze brushed his hair over his face as he looked out to the rocky waves, hidden in the shadows, he let out an unsteady breath. He focused back on the memorial from the museum, trying his hardest to remember who this "Bucky Barnes" really was, the forties soldier was so foreign to the man he was now.

Bucky was thankful for his training, it allowed him the skills to escape the states and head to Europe by sneaking onto a cargo ship as one of the workers. He kept his head low and managed to get around without any issues, the only thing was working out a way to get by. He kept his eyes on the stars above him as they sailed their way across the vast ocean.

A painful headache rested behind his eyes as a reminder of the cracked wall that held itself high in his head, memories and mechanics that threatened to battle their way to the control centre. He focused on the sounds of the waves crashing against the metal of the ship as he calmed his mind.

For a moment, a single moment, it seemed to work until a ship siren rang out signalling the approached of the docks. He had to be prepared to sneak away without getting caught, doubt being filling his mind, something that seemed so foreign to him. The fight to return to his 'handlers' in his mind made him feel queasy or was it the sea.

He managed to sneak away in the shadows of the night, he made his way into the quiet dark streets away from the dock and headed in whatever direction he felt was right. Painful burning sensations seared through his head as he tried his best to ignore it as frightful screams filled his ears, he shut his eyes as he stopped in place.

His heartbeat began beating against his ribs like a stampede as his breathing quickened, he leaned against a nearby tree as his vision blurred. His mind raced to find a reason as to why he was having this response as a memory flashed across his eyes almost as though he was standing right there.

"J-James, I-I can't B-breathe," He turned his head to the beautiful woman standing beside him, tears fell down her cheeks as her face turned pale. She was clasping onto her neck as she tried to breathe, his metal fingers wrapped tightly around her throat. Despite the clear pain and her body's instant fearful reaction, her eyes held no fear or pain.

Her eyes. They were an ethereal green hue with specks of yellow that reminded him of the sunflower fields from his younger years. Her long brunette hair cascaded down her shoulders, shaping her beautiful features. Her lips were parted as she made attempts to breathe, her soft pink lips that were turning a light shade of blue.
