   Summary

   Bucky and Sam have only just recovered from the shit-storm that was New York and the Flagsmashers, all loose ends, tied.

   Or so they thought.

   The duo come across information that Nagel's work in Madripoor wasn't victimless, and they fall into a race against time to protect an innocent woman against the external threats of Zemo and the Power Broker.

   Can Bucky protect her against those who wish her harm, and keep his guilt from snowballing into something more?
