|PRIDE SERIES| Ignis (Latin) \ ig-​nēz / meaning fire . . . The school bell indicating the day was over was the best sound ever to James Buchanan Barnes. Not only did it mean freedom, but it meant he could watch Brendon Kenneth Marshall as he ran on the track for practice after school. James, or Bucky to his friends, was different from the other boys in his class. He knew that as well. While the other boys were always talking about the girls in their class Bucky was stuck staring at the boys and finding them attractive, not the girls. It just took the fifteen year old boy running around the track for Bucky to realize he wasn't normal. (𝘽𝙀𝙂𝘼𝙉 𝙀𝘿𝙄𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂)

One mission One night One surprise. One moment changed the Winter Soldier's life forever. One little girl who couldn't speak. One little girl who became his very reason for living. One little girl who saved him and who would always wait for him to come home. In light of the recent concerns with AI and writing, I have moved this story to Archive of Our Own to keep it safe. It is under the same title and username. Sorry to everyone who enjoyed reading it here, but this just makes me feel safer with everything that is currently going on.

[ COMPLETED ] child /CHīld/ noun noun: child; plural noun: children a son or daughter of any age. a person or thing influenced by a specified environment. ________________________________________________ PROJECT: CHILD was administered by Arnim Zola, a Swiss scientist working under SHIELD. It's main purpose was to see how a POW, and the Winter Soldier reacted to a child, along with it's psychological affects. It was not meant to continue for decades, nor was the child meant to be set free. Angelika was a child born from vitro fertilization, with the sole purpose of being HYDRA's lab rat. Even though she had a voice, she rarely used it. Perhaps out of fear, or perhaps out of habit, but the man-Bucky- was different, and so was the Winter Soldier. _________________________ "There is no greater warrior than a father protecting his child." ________________________ in which the Winter Soldier has a little girl following after him. ________________________ Highest Ranking #1 in { thewintersoldier } #2 in { civilwar } #3 in { bucky } #4 in { natasharomanoff } #11 in { tonystark }
