Run (A Bucky Barnes Recovery Story)

19.5 ---

The Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, he didn’t want any of this to begin with. He never wanted World War 2. He wanted dances with girls and double dates with his best friend. He wanted a family one day, and the grand canyon, and vanilla ice cream in a cone, and to see the new picture in the theatre. He wanted to watch Steve be happy. He wanted his life to be simple. The Winter Soldier didn’t bargain on a draft, he didn’t count on being kidnapped and tortured and losing everything. But sometimes, he guessed, things just didn’t go the way you planned and he had to work with what he was given, even if it was next to nothing. Even if all he felt he could want now, underneath everything, was to run and then jump.
