Author's Note

Just a little Filler/Recap for y'all! I was thinking of doing a Time jump at some point in the next couple chapters, but I'm still writing/constructing and drafting more content. What would y'all think?🤔 Is there anything in this journey that y'all think I should touch on that maybe you all have thought of? If you have any concepts or ideas I could go off of let me know! All input is welcome! Enjoy!🤗

"Your name...is James Buchanan Barnes."

"SHUT UP!!" Bucky shouts hitting Steve again.

"I'm not gonna fight you." Steve says as he takes off his mask and drops his shield out of the Helicarrier. Seeing Bucky like this hurt steve more than the actual blows Bucky was delivering to him.

"You're my friend."

Having heard enough, Bucky then charges at Steve and throws him down to the ground.

"you're my mission." Bucky says coldly before beginning his assault. He then mercilessly punches Steve in the face multiple times.

"YOU....ARE....MY....MISSION!" Bucky screams between every blow to Steve's face.

"Then finish it..." Steve replies challenging Bucky.

Bucky then held his fist up, and began to hesitate.

"Cause I'm with you...to the end of the line."

Bucky took a good long look at Steve and paused...maybe the Winter Soldier did know who Steve Rogers was after all.

"You like picking on little kids? Huh?" Bucky says as he grabbed the man by his throat and nearly lifted him up two feet from the ground using his metal arm. He was hoping he would go without injuring someone using his prosthetic limb, but he couldn't resist interfering.

The man was too afraid to even reply and Bucky realized he had drawn a crowd so he decided to end this nicely...he almost forgot for a second that he was a wanted criminal and had to keep a low profile.

He dropped the man on the ground being sure to be rough to show the man he was serious.

"Pick on somebody your own damn size...leave these kids alone." Without even issuing a response the two older men ran away and didn't think twice about looking back.

Then Bucky looked around him and saw the people of the neighborhood had been watching him. Moments later people began applauding him...even the young children had been applauding him for standing up for them. Soon after the crowd cleared and Bucky miraculously still had time to get on the next bus.

As Bucky made his way back to the bus stop, someone wanted to stop him and Thank him before he left.

"Ma scuzati...domnule(Excuse me...Sir)." Bucky's eyebrows furrowed together in confusion at feeling a tug on his jacket sleeve accompanied by the voice of a small child. Bucky turned around and saw a small girl who looked about 4 years old. It was one of the young girls who had been drawing with chalk.
