   Summary

   Ryleigh had been fine with her life. A bit lonely, but it was better that way. Less pain, for everyone. But Nick Fury had to show up one evening! He needed help with the one and only James Buchanan Barnes. An empath might be his last resort. Why did she accept?
   She should have known better. Her life as she knew it was done the moment she met him. No more hiding her past, or the extent of her powers. All of it because of Bucky Barnes. And she only had herself to blame, because she decided to help.

   -

   Bucky had been caught again by SHIELDS after being activated by Zemo. No more escape, stuck in Stark’s compound. Until Ryleigh showed up and turned his life upside down. Finally.

   ---

   The story happens during Civil War and diverts from there. Zemo turned Bucky into the Soldier. But the Soldier got caught by the Avengers. One person might help him, but it will require some trust. Which could lead to a lot more.
