The battlefield was a chaotic symphony of explosions and cries for help, the air thick with smoke and the acrid scent of g/npowder. The Thunderbolts moved with precision, but the enemy was relentless, their numbers overwhelming. In the midst of the chaos, you fought valiantly alongside Bucky, your skills honed from years of training as a Black Widow.

But as you pressed forward, an unexpected ambush shattered your momentum. A sudden blast sent you sprawling to the ground, the world spinning around you as pain radiated from your side. Bucky turned just in time to see you fall, a gut-wrenching fear gripping his heart.

"No!" he shouted, rushing to your side. The chaos faded into the background as he knelt beside you, cradling your head in his hands. Your eyes, usually so fierce and determined, were clouded with pain and confusion.

"Stay with me," he urged, his voice a mix of desperation and determination. "We’re going to get through this."

But as he looked into your eyes, something deep within him began to stir—a darkness he had tried so hard to bury. The memories of his time as the Winter Soldier resurfaced, and anger boiled inside him, mingling with fear. The world around him faded, and all he could see was you—the one person who had seen him at his worst and still chose to stand by him.

With a primal growl, Bucky surged to his feet, the Winter Soldier awakening within him. The pain of losing you fueled his rage, transforming him into a force of nature. He charged into the fray, his fists and skills striking with deadly precision. Enemies fell before him, their faces a blur as he fought, each defeated opponent a tribute to the threat they posed to the one he loved.

But even as he unleashed his fury, a part of him struggled to remain grounded. He couldn't let the Winter Soldier take over completely. He needed to focus, to fight for you—not just out of vengeance, but out of love.

As the battle raged on, Bucky fought with the strength of a man who had lost too much but was determined to protect the one thing he couldn’t afford to lose again. The stakes had never been higher, and he would stop at nothing to ensure you came out of this alive.
