Eva was trying to distract herself from her stressful daily life when she noticed the brooding stranger in the bar she frequented. With fatal consequences... Two years later, Steve asks Eva to join the Avengers recruiting program. She had no idea she'd run into James "Bucky" Barnes again in the compound. The Winter Soldier, the very man that pushed her old life into chaos, but James has changed, and he never forgot Eva. The woman who treated him as a human being. Determined to focus on the down-bringing of HYDRA, she does her best to resist the urges James is awakening inside of her. With every touch, with every kiss, her resistance seems to falter. But can she trust him? Has he changed enough? Or will he unleash chaos over her life again if she gives in to her urges? Finding a friend in the strong-headed Nico, Eva finds it increasingly difficult to leave the compound, a place where she begins to feel safe, where she feels at home. *** AU: Plays somewhere loosely around the time after CA: The winter Soldier *** Happens in another universe than Winter Soldier Series
