Summary:

The man has eyes the color of the sky. Hands that are bloodied from battle but might be gentle if they touched him. A voice that drags the ghosts of memories through the soldier’s fractured mind, and he can’t die. The soldier was sent to kill him. Ordered it, assigned it. And he didn’t, so he can’t go back. Not without completing a mission. Not again. He needs to run, to hide. To find some secret corner of the world where they’ll never find him.

If the man drowns, it will all be for nothing. The man has to live. Even if the solider might be taken back and put permanently into the ice for disobeying.

//

On the banks of the Potomac River, Steve wakes up to watch the Winter Soldier's back as he walks away. He can't let him go. Hydra might find him, and if they don't, SHIELD will, and Steve doesn't trust them either. Not when Bucky is buried in there somewhere. They have to run.
