James Buchanan Barnes was one of few soldiers built like monsters. He was the best of the best. The winter Solider.
But missions began to bring him and another captive together, but he was only a kid, he didn't even know his name, sure he answers to Agent X but that isn't who he is. The name now given to him by Bucky himself, Peter Parker.
he doesn't want the kid living in fear and the more he learns about him, the closer he grows to him. He makes it his own personal mission to save the kid, to show him how beautiful the world can be, but first he's got to break the shell of a fellow winter solider.
Stuck with fear Peter didn't want to go, but when overnight he wakes up in a whole new place surrounded by those who call themselves the Avengers, the ones he knew as his targets, he really has no choice. With the kid growing on him, they try their best to give him the life he was never able to live.
But add lies and deception to a seemingly perfect super family, HYDRA's need to get their soldiers back, and a sudden new alter ego, how long can everything stay under wraps, before the truth bares its ugly face?

Saying this in advance, this is not my original idea, it was inspired by @whateverittakes827 and their story "scars that last forever". I really liked the concept and wanted to expand off the thought.
Also for-warning this story contains scenes with violence, torture, mature language, anxiety attacks and possible depression/suicidal episodes so if you are sensitive to said material I suggest you do not read forward. But if you chose to do so I am not responsible for further personal side effects. You have been warned. And if you are ever dealing with bad things in life contact someone, or contact me because I am here for all of you ❤️

Promises. They are maybe the mightiest thing there is in this world. Being able to fulfill you with electric ecstasy on the end of the aisle in forms of vows to your loved one, they also have the power to break your heart into a thousand pieces. Sometimes, the shattering isn't caused by someone not keeping their word, but by yourself not able to hold onto it.
Cherry has made a promise to her mother when she found her mutilated corpse at the age of barely eight years. A life for a life. Intending to keep her word for whatever it takes, she prepared her entire life to kill the famous Captain America, praised by most people like an angel, and yet, the murderer of the person meaning most to her. Along her turbulent path, swearing she'd end everyone in her way, she just doesn't calculate the presence of another annoyingly-handsome Super Soldier with that damn deep-throaty chuckle.

Trigger warning for basically all the chapters, concerning spice, vulgar language, violence and psychological issues such as depression, lack of self-identity, traumatic events, etc.
I recommend you to read this story if you're 18+. If you read it beforehand, I don't hold any responsibility as to how it might affect you.

I don't own anyone from the MCU. But I do own Cherry, and every character involved in her personal life that isn't taken from the MCU.
