  "Bucky?" I ask uncertain. He looks up at me carefully. Bucky looks terrified like I'd hurt him just by looking at him.
  I looked back to the guards. "I was told he was dead!" I spat angrily.
  "The person he used to be is dead. Don't expect him to be who he was." The agent replied cruelly.
  Ignoring his warning I carefully approached him. I knelt down in front of him. Gently I placed my hand on his leg. Bucky tensed immediately and flinched looking away from me.
"If you're going to hit me just do it." He grumbles.
"No! I'd never hurt you! Bucky it's me!" I said urgently.
Bucky looked me over. "Who are you?"
My heart shattered into a million pieces. I felt like I had been struck with a harpoon. "It's me Katie. Kit-Kat you know your nickname for me?" I asked hopefully.
Bucky just silently regarded me for a while. "You do look familiar."
"What have they done to you?" I asked with a sob.
Suddenly Bucky seemed to have a moment of realization. "Katie." He said simply.
I perked up a little. "Yes it's me Katie your girlfriend or well actually wife."
He smiled brightly. "Katie, I've missed you. You look different."
I shrugged, "I am at least 20 pounds lighter than I was."
He wrapped me in a loving warm embrace taking away all my coldness and chilling feeling. Bucky kissed my forehead lovingly. I could only snuggle into him and start hysterically crying. To which Bucky gently stroked my back and held me closer telling me everything would be okay. I didn't believe that at all but he made it seem true.
  "Alright that's enough." An agent spat. "Now you know he's alive you have to work with us."
  "She's not doing anything for you monsters." Bucky snapped.
  "Shut it asset you're not in charge here!" The agent spat back.
  "Neither are you." Bucky replied.
  "Listen you losers had your little reunion so if you behave you two can see each other once in a while." The agent promised.
  "He's lying." I told Bucky.
He shook his head, "Katie they've been brainwashing me I can't forget you again please we have to take our chances even if they aren't real."'
  I nodded. "Okay, I will I promise."
*************************************
  Three years later 1950
  That promise HYDRA never kept. Sure me and Bucky saw each other but we didn't know who we were anymore.
  We've been brainwashed out of our minds. I've been forced to learn my powers and how to work with my metal hand.
  Apparently I have a varied form of a super soldier serum. Except I wasn't super buff so I could hide my enhanced endurance and strength to be an ultimate spy.
  I also had the power to shape shift into different animals and create powerful illusions.

1955
  HYDRA has told me for the first time about what happened to my brother. Steve. They said he was dead. Died defeating Johan Schmidt.
 
1965
  I can't remember my name even. That stupid machine takes my memory tears it away from me.
  I belong to HYDRA. The U.S. army betrayed me. Yes HYDRA is my home.
 
1980
  I received a name Zauberhexe or witch in German. I'm supposed to help the Winter Soldier my partner on a mission. To help HYDRA save the world.
