"This will sound crazy, but in another timeline, in another life-you were the love of my life. You died, sacrificing yourself for Thanos. And when I went back to put the infinity stones in their original timeline, you were right there, in the Red Room. I couldn't stop myself. I had to save you, and I had to stay behind."
At the end of the day, in just about every universe - James Buchanan Barnes and Yelena Belova always wound up together. No matter the consequences.

SLOOOOOW BURN You're a late-20s congressional intern with big dreams and a long-standing admiration for the Avengers. You always wanted to help protect the world like they did and now, working on Capitol Hill, you're closer to that world than ever.

When Steve and the Avengers find you single handily taking down one of their targets, they invite you to live with them. You only agree because Steve is there and you want to be with your brother. You don't know Bucky is alive until you get to the tower. Bucky's been in love with you since the 40's. He would constantly beg Steve to let him marry you. Steve would refuse. You admit that you wouldn't mind being with Bucky since you've always felt something for him back. The only thing standing in yours and Bucky's way is, well, Steve. So what else can you do besides have a secret relationship and hope Steve doesn't find out. This takes place after endgame and infinity war, but Thanos never happened and The Avengers are living together.
