She didn’t remember where she was born, or to whom—only that sometime in the 1960s, she became HYDRA‘s. She was the first female Winter Soldier, though they never called her that „Winter Soldier“, but „Veyra“—a prototype, an experiment in control and obedience. While Bucky Barnes would later become their perfected assassin, Y/N had been the unstable weapon, the one who broke too often, remembered too much, questioned too much. HYDRA spent decades making her forget. They succeeded. What was left of her humanity survived in flickers—instincts, reactions, a sense of wrongness she couldn’t explain.
