Then he finds it. All power over Bucky's mind is abolished. But just because these words hold no true power over his mind doesn't mean that they don't have a hold over his emotions. That's where Ella Walin, the top PTSD Psychiatrist in the world, comes in. Previously working in a Sudanese refugee camp, sometimes helping once child soldiers recover from their traumatic past, Ella is secretly recruited by the New Avengers to help the Winter Soldier. But can she? Through the love of friends and her help, Bucky can finally regain his mind back. And his life.
