Summary:
It is 2027. Bucky has gone from being a brainwashed assassin to an amnesiac ex-decorated war hero to nobody to Congressman Barnes. Currently, he is New Avengers Bucky Barnes. It is 2027, he is still a super soldier. He is still here. He has lived many lives but is more hollowed out now than ever. Then, one evening while sitting together in quietness with his new team members who provide some shade of warmth to his life, everything changes once again.
Maybe it really is - as Bob points out much later - the magic of his wish on the shooting star.
Chapter 1: Prologue
Snippet:
"It is kinda sad," Bob adds softly.
Bucky glances at him and chooses to keep his mouth shut, trapping the words in him, as their fate will always be.
Is it sad?
Is that what Bob sees when he walks into Bucky's memories?
Is that what Bucky is? Sad?
