HYDRA sends Bucky and Grayce on missions together, trusting them both as elite assets-but they don't trust each other. Bucky is more silent, trigger-focused; Grayce is manipulative and composed. They clash: he's impulsive beneath the mask, she's too clinical. They're assigned to kill SHIELD Director, Nick Fury. Grayce sees Bucky as a blunt instrument. He sees her as a snake with a smile. They hate how well they move together in combat-like they were trained from the same shadow.
