Adamantine (A Post-Black Panther Bucky Barnes Love Story)

"You're an urban legend, and I'm a ghost story."

•••••

I have to say, my resume is pretty impressive. I've toppled regimes. I've brought foreign governments to their knees. I have a hit list a mile long. I'm the CIA's secret weapon, and I'm the monster people tell their kids about at night.

I'm an urban legend in more countries than I can count. People walking home alone in the dark look over their shoulders in fear, terrified they'll meet my steel gray eyes. They know that if they meet me in the dark, my eyes will be the last thing they ever see.

People try to protect themselves from me, but nothing ever works. Foreign leaders know to work in my favor. The US government bends to my will. I'm untouchable.
