He doesnât want to forget, doesnât want them to take it all away again. âPlease,â he says quietly, and he canât quite resist. The Winter Soldier would stay silent, but Bucky Barnes lifts his head, his hair falling over his eyes. And he knows itâs futile. He thinks, maybe, heâs asked this before, outright begged and pleaded, and he knows itâs for nothing. But still-- âPlease, donât take it away from me. Iâll comply, Iâll do whatever--â he says. The man, Alexander Pierce (he knows him, he knows him), the head of Hydra, stares at him for a long moment, steady and unmoving. âPut him on ice,â he says, finally, âand make sure he feels it.â  -- (No matter how many times they wipe the Winter Soldier-- the memories keep coming back, again and again. A glimpse at his reflection in the mirror, a strange, familiar-looking face amidst a crowd... who the hell is he? And it repeats, again and again, a cycle he can't escape.)
