Bucky Barnes has escaped. Until a cure for Hydra's control over his mind could be found, the Winter Soldier was to be locked inside a cryo chamber where no one but Steve could find him. Or so they thought. Bucky finds himself baring the marks of Hydra once again as he roams the streets of New York City, torn between hiding from the person that unleashed him from the chamber and searching for the answers he desperately needs. Once a winter soldier, always a winter soldier. As he finds himself caught in a war with Shield and Hydra, will Bucky be freed from his curse or will the phrase of his enemies haunt his mind forever? Only one way to find out. The Winter Soldier has returned.
