: "Who am I?" Was the only question running through Winter's mind. "Am I still the Winter Soldier?" She paused, "Or am I Avery Rogers?" Memories start to trickle in, but she doesn't know what is real and what is not. How can she tell? How can she determine who she was and who she is now? How will she know? There is both a beginning and an end, but which will she catch first?

Avengers: The Age of Ultron | Saviours | Avery Rogers - The Winter Soldier

Avery Rogers was a small petite girl in her younger years, so much slimmer than the usual girl in her time ... but that was grown out of as she got older. Her body grew into a woman by the age of 19, back in the day every man was looking to her with googly-eyes. But there was only one man she had her eyes on for many years. James Buchanan Barnes.

James was the last one to catch on about her small crush, a crush that soon turned into a deep undying love. He too, showed off his affection as he grew older. By the time he had hit his twenty's, he was head over heels in love with her. Neither thought that they'd be alive nearly a hundred years later, still in their twenties ... but that was just one of the world's greatest mysteries and miracles. Avery Rogers may not have her memories fully returned and James may not have her in his arms right now, but they were alive. They would find their way back to each other ... lovers always do...

Back in 1945; things were much simpler but more complicated at the same time. The simple part being who someone was fighting. Hydra were at war with Shield and America. Shield and America were fighting back at Hydra. No one realised the bigger impact of this time until 2013. There was a hidden agenda behind everything; they weren't sure how they couldn't have figured it out sooner - if they had, maybe more people would be alive to tell the tale.

This hidden agenda started with a name. Avery Rogers, also known as Ava. She's the lost sister of the renowned Captain America, Steve Rogers. And the lover of Lieutenant America, James Buchanan Barnes, also known as Bucky. This name was used many times in the evolvement of this plan; she was the one that would crumble everything - the single person that the both American heroes held dear to them. And these people knew that - it's what they wanted in their overall outcome.

Avery Rogers had become an experiment, straight after being pronounced dead when she fell out of a moving Hydra train during a raid. Any normal person would have died upon impact when hitting the ground, from hundreds of meters in the sky - but she didn't. Hydra had already planned to take her life away from her boys ... so they started the manipulation to her cells when they first had a good hold of her. This was during the time her team had been captured for several weeks. And no one ever knew ... no one ever expected ... and no one thought anything of it as to why she had been kept separated from the others for days on end back in that holding cell.

Hydra had kept this a secret for almost that whole one-hundred years; until James 'Bucky' saw her face that day back on the highway-pass fight. When that mask flew off after his attack, his heart stopped. It was like he couldn't breathe and everything just came rushing back.

But the thing is, this wasn't Avery Rogers anymore - the one he knew and loved with all his heart. The long dark-haired familiar female was different, there was a stench of death in her aura. This person in the dark was known as The Winter Soldier and this woman was born the day Avery Rogers had died.

That is why she was alive but not awake; the body of Avery Rogers was very much alive and kicking - it's just the person she used to be, the very essence that made this body alive ... was dead. Avery Rogers had been kicked out for another persona, another soldier to fight a war that would never end.

Hydra had planned this and had never foreseen any complications to this.

But, what they didn't plan was for that persona; The Winter Soldier to have her memory start coming back in small minuscule pieces. During her time in the world, she did remember small details of what she had deemed to be a 'fake' life. She had disregarded them as per what her training told her to do. But when she saw James Buchanan Barnes in the flesh again, something snapped - something inside of her took a hold of something deep within and began to unravel it. Everything Hydra had accomplished was starting to diminish within a couple of days.

This wouldn't do ... this wasn't the plan...

So Pierce ordered what they could only have done - and that was to re-wipe her memory. Everything they had accomplished in bringing out hatred for these two American heroes had instantly vanished, all to be left with an empty shell The ultimate willing super soldier with nothing to lose.

But even that didn't last for long.

The last fight ... the last time The Winter Solider had seen this Lieutenant America, something sparked and crackled. And this time, it held on. Winter disappeared off the face of the Earth, untraceable ... but those two American heroes, they wouldn't let go ... they couldn't. So they kept searching, and searching ... and searching. Not stopping until they got her back. Bucky would never stop until he got his lover back and Steve would never stop until he got his twin sister back. That was their new mission ... the one that truly mattered anymore.

And that is where our story starts ... the beginning to an end ... the moment when two superheroes become the only saviours for a broken girl with shredded memories, but, will they succeed in bringing back the one they want or be stuck with another person entirely?

This could get a whole lot worse before it even gets better...

Note: Ahh! I literally just went out to buy the DVD to the new Avengers movie when I realised it came out today! YEY! I was honestly having trouble starting this, but as soon as I started typing ... it just came to me. I know that this is a very long-awaited sequel for many of you, so I hope I don't disappoint. Let me know what you think ...

P.S, Some of you may know from reading my other fanfics [The Family Business], but I will say this for the newcomers and that is that I really have a lack of time to my writing lately. I'm changing departments at work and becoming full-time, 50-55 hours a week with long days ... and I have other stuff on top of that along with trying my hardest to save up for college next January. Updates for all of my stories can really vary and I will not make set dates but I will try my hardest to update as much as possible.

Oh! Alive but not Awake has officially reached 50,000 views - I am honestly bubbling with many emotions right now - thankfulness, happiness, shock ... I could go on...

Anyway, let me know what you think! Review, Follow, Fav!
