"One blink. Five years. And a universe to win back."
For James "Bucky" Barnes and Y/N, there was no passage of time. There was no five-year wait. One second, they were turning to dust on the blood-soaked plains of Wakanda; the next, a blinding golden light fractures the sky. The dust reverses, and the portals open.
They are thrust instantly from the moment of their deaths straight into the heart of the ultimate, cataclysmic war for existence.
Stepping through the gateway onto the shattered ruins of the Avengers Compound, Bucky and Y/N don't get time to process the missing years or the grief of the world. They only have time to fight. Side-by-side against the overwhelming vanguard of Thanos's army, every swing of the vibranium arm and every tactical maneuver is a desperate, chaotic scramble for survival.
This isn't about politics, or handlers, or the shield. It is a raw, unrelenting battle for the right to exist. Surrounded by a universe of heroes standing together for the final time, they must survive the most brutal conflict the cosmos has ever seen just to earn the dawn of a new day.
