Summary
Natasha Romanoff’s journey did not end in Vormir. But Steve Rogers’ did. After sacrificing himself for a chance to save humanity from nonexistence, all that remained of Captain America was his honor, history and shield.
While Natasha sought peace and rest from battles, James Buchanan Barnes found himself increasingly immersed in nightmares in the form of memories and dreaming of blurry images of a bold woman with intense eyes and a hoarse laugh.
However, after bumping into Natasha after months, James worries that maybe they are not just dreams… But memories of a forgotten past.
