March 24, 1856, the American Civil War rages on. William is just another soldier for the Confederate Army, until he is killed by friendly fire for putting his life on the line for a slave girl he'd never met. Now resurrected and cursed with a form of a Grim, he is forced to aid every world in every realm that needs his help. For over a hundred years, he wanders the universe, never able to interact with the mortals, because he'll just be whisked off as soon a he completes his job in that world. Now, he's in modern day America as we know it, and will help the world's most famous team of superheroes: The Avengers.
Director Fury recruites a new Avenger, who seems almost too familiar to Bucky. You knew who he was, but only through a haze of blurry, bloody memories.
Small world, I guess. You knew his face, his strength and the power he held - but you didn't know his story.

*This story dosen't follow a set timeline - it has bits and pieces from every film and series but there is no particular timeline for the events*
I tried to write it as true to the characters as possible - the way they speak and act etc.
