What if Tony had convinced Steve to sign the accords immediately after the tunnel incident? What if Bucky had been sent to a psychiatric facility rather than Wakanda, and the downfall of the Avengers had never happened? James Buchanan Barnes is a walking shadow of his former self. His mind is a mess of half-memories, the only constant memory being of the color red. There's blood staining his hands- blood he never wanted there, but that's there nonetheless. When he's sent to the Virginia State Psychiatric Facility, just a few miles south of the capital of the United States, no one can seem to get much out of him. He remains just as mysterious as he was when he first walked in the doors. Until Athena, a specialist known for dealing with PTSD patients, is assigned to be his psychologist. And then suddenly a whole world of horrors is uncovered, and his repressed days of torture come screaming back to life in vivid color. As Athena gets to know him, she realizes that everything Steve has said- about Bucky being a victim, not a villain- is absolutely true. And suddenly she must fight to not only save Bucky from himself, but also to clear his name in the eyes of the world- because after all, she's the only one with undeniable proof of his past. The only thing is, she must find the courage to use it. Bucky x OC 《 copyright @jordan7095 》 Cover picture is not mine. it is from Tumblr. credit goes to whoever made it.

Sold to a facility at six years old to be raised as an assassin, Sweden-born Ruth Rogers was trained by whatever means necessary to become a lethal weapon. As she grew older, Ruth struggled with the reality that her memory had never been wiped like others around her but completed missions to obey the woman who commanded her. Ruth perfected her craft and quickly became known as the sly assassin Buzzkill. After suffering heavy losses, the facility was discovered and raided by SHIELD authorities. Before they could catch her, Ruth escaped SHIELD's reach and tried to live on her own for the first time in the eighteen years she's been alive. Feeling guilt for what she has done, Ruth agrees to aggressive experimentation to clear her record which ultimately results in devastating effects on her body and mind. Ruth struggles to survive as she continues to clear her conscience, becoming allies with the Winter Soldier in the process. Can Buzzkill and the Winter Soldier become strong enough to escape the place that controls them? Can they both learn to live with the consequences of their pasts while fighting their present demons? ************************************************************************************* Some characters, places, and agencies within the story belong to Marvel.
