In Return of Her (Bucky X OC)

Years have passed since Adriana and Bucky sacrificed everything to bring down Hydra's sleeper agent program. Frozen in cryostasis to escape the remnants of their past, they believed the world would move forward without them. But peace is fleeting, and a new threat has emerged-one that the Avengers cannot face alone.

Awoken from their icy slumber, Adriana and Bucky find themselves thrust back into a world they barely recognize, haunted by the shadows of an enemy they thought long defeated: Zemo. His resurgence is no coincidence. With Hydra's plans for domination reignited, Zemo has uncovered a power even greater than before-a weapon tied to Adriana's own bloodline and the dark secrets of her creation.

Bucky stands steadfast by her side, a pillar of strength in the chaos, but even his unwavering loyalty can't shield her from the doubts of the team-or herself. As plans unfolds, Adriana must fight not only the enemy but the fear that she's still a ticking time bomb in disguise.

And so she decides to go back to her roots: Brooklyn 1941.

In the Return of Her is a heart-pounding sequel about sacrifice, redemption, and the terrifying power of the past. Will Adriana prove she's more than the weapon she was created to be, or will Zemo's plans make her the key to humanity's destruction?

Time is running out, and the line between savior and destroyer has never been thinner.
