**"Why couldn't he just choose me?" "I think, in his own dumb way, maybe he did. Maybe he thought he was making your world better. Maybe this was his misguided attempt to show you he was strong or better or something. I'm not sure Bets, but yeah he should've chosen you...You deserve to be chosen above all else." He coos quietly.** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In 1941 Elizabeth Clara Casey, an inhuman, met her soulmate, James Bucky Barnes. Their love was instant and they'd vowed to forever Hold The Line together. Their vows were shattered in 1945, upon his death. With the help of Steve Rogers, to avenge their loss, they took down the bomber plane intended for their hometown of New York City. They hit the ice, and prepared for the end accepting their fate, only to wake up in a strange new world. Everything they know is lost. They must now navigate new battles together with a new team around them, they must again learn who they are in this new world, learn how to fit into it and with who. Their lives blossom in ways they never would've imagined. These reformed dynamics only get harder as the past resurfaces in surprising ways. **I'd recommend reading my other book "1941" before reading this so that you can get the whole story** Based on the MCU characters, Elizabeth is my own creation anything else is property of Marvel. Also yeah I took some creative liberties. This is an AU/OC clearly
