    Summary

    While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.

    Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.

    Summary

    The camera shows grass and part of a bench tucked beneath three willow trees twisting together. It shifts as it’s picked up, pausing momentarily on Nessa tucked into Inaya’s chest. Inaya’s singing softly in her mother tongue, fingers tracing over Nessa’s heaving spine.

    Zee moves, putting herself between the other girls and the terrible scene on the playground.

    Gracie’s sitting up, dwarfed by the blond man’s hands hovering around her as she wipes at her little face.

    “Hey,” he says, worry clear in the hunch of his shoulders and the tightness of his tone. “Gracie? You okay? Please be okay, I don’t know how to do first-aid on tiny people.”


    Three teens try to get video evidence of a woman terrorizing the neighborhood. Except, wait, isn't that Hawkeye?
