After the battle against Thanos and his armies, Marlow Hendrix is tasked with helping Steve Rogers return the Infinity Stones to their rightful times. When her mission goes awry in 1970, she keeps her resolve, waiting to find a way out of an increasingly dangerous situation while being stuck away from home and away from help.
Back in 2023, Bruce picks up her signal and pulls it to the present, unaware of the danger that lurks in the past. It is only when an unexpected threat steps off the platform that they realise how badly the mission went.
And when Marlow finally returns, she struggles to come to terms with her past in order to accept her future--but with the help of a familiar face, she might just do it.

"She knew his face. She felt she knew it like the back of her hand by now, so she tried her hardest to prepare herself in those infinitely long moments after Richardson spoke.
It didn't matter though; she couldn't help the hiccup of her heart as he walked in, dressed in leathers, with his hair significantly shorter than she'd ever seen in person. As his eyes landed on her, she tried not to expect his face to be the one she knew. She tried to not to expect it to shift into a look of realization, then to worry, then to protection.
Because he wasn't the Bucky she knew."

The Soldier's Wraith ~ Book 1
James Buchanan Barnes had been through a lot in his life: Fighting in wars, brainwashed and forced to kill for decades, fighting to remember who he was... The hardest part of it all? Finding his place back in the world. Then, there was you. You had been someone else for so long, you didn't know how to step back into life. From being taken to the Red Room, brainwashed, and then taken and experimented on by HYDRA for decades, you and Barnes shared your fair share of trauma, both separately and together. You had grown close, although it hadn't happened overnight. You hated each other. There were multiple times over the years when you tried to kill each other and almost succeeded. Eventually, you both escaped HYDRA, and the most peaceful years were when you were on the run. Unfortunately, the world had other plans. You were thrown back into the fight, on a galactic scale this time. Bucky blipped, you didn't. After five dark years, the fight was won, but at a severe cost to both of you. *The main story takes place during TFATWS, but flips between the past and present story of Bucky and Y/N.* *This is being written as I get time. I will try to edit before posting.* *Marvel characters are not mine. There may be some original characters throughout the story.

Recoil | Bucky Barnes | Marvel Cinematic Universe
verb. To fall back under pressure. To shrink back physically or emotionally. noun. The kickback of a gun upon firing. • It takes a stubborn mind to cling to their humanity when the world seeks to strip it away. It takes a desperate soul to reach for the faintest glimmer of light in the darkness. It takes a courageous heart to admit they chose the wrong side. He didn't ask for this. She walked in willingly. Getting out is the easy part. Surviving is second nature.

The Winter Soldier and The Red Angel
Bucky's POV: Nat peeked, barely dodged another bullet. "I think that's The Red Angel," she muttered, sliding into position beside me. I glanced at her. Red Angel? "Didn't think she was real," Nat continued. "Thought she was just a myth. Supposedly trained in the Red Room. Or maybe Hydra got their hands on her first - no one really knows. There's talk she was an experiment. The kind that leaves a trail." She shifted again, moved to another position as the others kept the woman busy. I followed, covered her flank. Then Nat said the part that stuck with me: "Thing is... she should be old by now. But the way she moves? Doesn't look like any grandma I've ever seen." (...) Nat: "What the hell was that?" I didn't answer. Couldn't. I was staring into the smoke, my fists clenched. My breath shallow. "Someone I might've known," I finally said, voice low. "Someone they might've used me to create."

Fighting for You 🔞
Bucky Barnes starts to remember his life before he became the Winter Soldier. After the events of Washington, he had wanted to run away and hide. He knew people would come looking for him, especially Hydra and the Avengers. Hidden away in a remote town, on the outskirts of Maine, Bucky tries to live a simple life without drawing attention to himself. Little does he know, he had been followed. ***** Alexandria (Lexi) Adams, was one of the best shadow agents of SHIELD. She was one that Fury trusted with everything, including her judgement. Fury knew that having the Winter Soldier on their side, would be beneficial, not to mention, it would stop Rogers from turning down missions he was needed on. Lexi follows Barnes from a distance, helping to set him up with a home and job, without him knowing it was her. She had moved in to the apartment across from him, playing the friendly neighbour, which was a feat in itself. Lexi was never considered a friendly type of person. It was her mission, to help keep him safe, recover his past, and obtain any Hydra information. She makes sure to bump into him, while shopping for groceries, introducing herself, but she finds he's very closed off and guarded. Can she get through to him, or will he up and run again? When Hydra operatives come crashing through their complex, Lexi must make the choice, to stand and fight, or run. Will the two work together? Will Bucky come to trust his neighbour, or will he run? ****** ⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️ Mature scenes, fighting, swearing, torture/experimentation, depression.
