The Ghost of 1943
Ninety years ago, Bucky Barnes left a piece of his heart on the Coney Island boardwalk, promising to return to the woman he loved. Days later, HYDRA took them both. While the Winter Soldier became a legend of shadows and blood, Y/N was kept in a different kind of silence—frozen, experimented on, and forgotten by time. When a desperate escape leaves Y/N wandering the overwhelming, neon-lit streets of modern-day New York, she is a living relic. She still looks exactly as she did the night Bucky proposed, but the world is no longer a place she recognizes. She thinks she’s alone, but a shadow is following her. Bucky Barnes has spent years trying to wash the red from his ledger, but he never expected to see the one person who reminds him of who he used to be. Too afraid to approach her and shatter her new-found freedom, he watches from the rooftops—protecting her from the HYDRA cells still hunting their "lost asset" and trying to find the courage to face the woman who still wears his ring on a chain around her neck.
