          Once I finished developing Bucky's new arm, the doctors operated on him to attach it to him. It was made of titanium and it worked too well. Bucky wasted no time to attempt to break out despite telling him to wait. Dr. Zola kept his promise to me and made sure that Bucky and I stayed together. We received vast training from HYDRA, Soviet Union, and the KGB but we were also slowly losing access to our own memories. We were put in a Memory Suppressing Machine and suffered electroconvulsive therapy. As we evolved into top fighters and ruthless killers, we were frozen together after each mission HYDRA sent us on. All that mattered now was being together and completing our task that was assigned. However, I saw little of the Winter Soldier after the Korean War. The Germans refer to me as the Schnee Soldier, or Snow Soldier, (Schnee in German means Snow). I was tasked with assassinating John F. Kennedy in 1963 and was put in a chamber in America after completing my mission.

          1991: "Schnee?" Dr. Zola asked via computer after I was defrosted.

          "Dr. Zola. My mission?" I asked.

          "A tattoo. Left arm," he said and a doctor gestured for me to sit in a large chair.

          I took off my shirt and sat in the chair, "Certainly, doctor."

          The communist red star was tattooed on my left upper arm. I looked at the ring on my left hand. I was forgetting something. When the tattoo was done, I put my shirt back on and awaited orders.

          "Now," Dr. Zola said, "rendezvous with the Winter Soldier, your husband. Your next target is Howard Stark. The Soldier knows what to extract. Go with him to Siberia when it is finished."

          I blinked and nodded to him. It was hard but Bucky and I found a way to bypass the therapy we went through. There is a saying in Russian that activates our soldier instincts but I worked hard to revert Bucky back to my husband. Thankfully, my mutation somewhat reverts my mind.

          "Cyclone. Bear. Baby. Ring," I whispered to myself in French.

          I twitched my neck and violently swung my head around. Howard Stark. I know who that is, I think. Knowing the Winter Soldier since we were trained together, I found him stalking the Starks. He tilted his head to me and I sat behind him on his motorcycle. It's odd he doesn't remember me very well, his own wife. He revved up to the back of the Stark's car and used his arm to break the rear tire. The car lost control and crashed. I picked the lock on the trunk while Bucky terminated the couple. We never left witnesses. In the trunk was more serum and I packed it away. Since we finished the mission early, I shot out the street cameras and looked in Bucky's eyes.

          "Cyclone," I whispered in French.

          He grunted and held his head in his hands.

          "Bear," I said much louder in French.

          "S-Stop!" he groaned and stumbled to stand still.

          "Baby!" I yelled in French.

          He drew his gun.

          "Ring," I whimpered as he pointed it at me.

          He ripped the mask off his face and dropped his gun as he went to embrace me, "Fuck! I'm sorry!"

          I was shaking and held him, "B-Bucky?"

          "It's me, baby," he said shakily and ran his hand down the back of my head to stroke my hair repetitively.

          "Oh, Bucky. I'm sorry. I love you," I whimpered and held him tight.

          "I love you too, Rose. I'm so sorry, baby. We need to go," he said.

          "Please, can we stay like this a little longer?" I pleaded.

          He kissed me deeply, "Change when we're in Siberia. Ok?"

          I kissed him again, "Ok."

          I held him around his waist when we got back on the motorcycle. Being selfish, we broke into a house to be intimate together. After, we went to Siberia and stopped near the HYDRA facility.

          "I love you, Buck. I promise, we'll find a way out of this," I said grimly as we stood in the snow.

          He kissed me, "I love you too, Rosey. I'm not going anywhere without you."

          "Желание. Семнадцать. Ржавый. Рассвет. Печь. Девять. Добросердечный. Возвращение на родину. Один. Товарный вагон. (Longing, rusted, seventeen, daybreak, furnace, nine, benign, homecoming, one, freight car.)" I recited and shifted us back into the Winter Soldiers.

          The Winter Soldier escorted me into the facility and I met with Vasily Karpov who instructed the Winter Soldier on his mission with me. The serum was taken from me and I was sent with the Winter Soldier to another mission.
