Another Red Winter story for all my winterwitch lovers!
Bucky found himself back in his room doing what he had been doing every night since the war, researching himself. Researching HYDRA, everything they had done, everything he had done. Papers of notes, photos, screenshots were scattered around his desk. Bucky was determined to erase The Winter Soldier, he wanted to get rid of it for good. So far though there were things missing, things he either couldn't remember or was never told. Things he needed in order to erase The Winter Soldier. The reflection of the webpages in his eyes made him look mad, he scrolled and read until his eyes hurt. Arnim Zola's name passed by on the screen, Bucky quickly shut his laptop and leaned forward, elbows on his desk he held his head in his hands. Another night without any new information. It felt like he had hit a fall going full speed and there was nothing on the other side. An idea sparked in his mind as he just began to feel utterly defeated, Wanda.
Wanda is determined to help Bucky get rid of The Winter Soldier for good, but when she cant seem to find the memories he is looking for in his mind, Bucky resorts to another option. Time travel. Although at first his idea is derailed when Bruce Banner refuses to let him go back, Wanda offers a helping hand again and with someone to watch over him, Banner agrees to let them both travel back to Bucky's younger years.
Pietro's death is still haunting Wanda. She can't seem to find a reason to be happy again. That is until she meets James Buchanan Barnes. Steve Rogers brings James AKA Bucky to the new Avengers compound where Bucky meets the new Avengers.
Wanda wants to let Bucky in, but she's afraid too. She's scared to lose another person she cares about. Bucky is determined to win Wanda over one way or another.
But disaster strikes as soon as Bucky and Wanda are about to confess their feelings. A wanted madman who escaped from Hydra years before, kidnaps Bucky and reverts him back to The Winter Soldier.
It's The Winter Soldier vs The Avengers. Wanda is against all of it, but she'll do everything she can to save the man she cares about. She is not going to lose another loved one.
