Summary
Baron Helmut Zemo has been alone on the Raft for several years after the last clandestine mission he took with Wilson and Barnes. Lonely and in existential stasis, he spends his time imagining stars on the ceiling of his cell and reliving vignettes of memory in his dreams. That is, until an unfamiliar woman comes to him with a proposal—that he help the C.I.A. in the recovery of an escaped fugitive outside the States. Unimpressed with the notion, his first impulse is to refuse…that is, until a very familiar emissary comes to ask instead.
Bucky Barnes has accepted the fact that for now he’s on loan to whatever government agency needs him in return for continued support of his freedom. When the Director of the C.I.A. asks him to again work with Baron Zemo on a mission to find a rogue Soviet super soldier in the wilderness of Canada, he’s at first reluctant…but only until he reminds himself that at least Zemo can appreciate aspects of him which have left him unable to relate to most civilians. It kills him to admit, but goddamn it…Zemo knows him, and right now that’s all Bucky wants in the world.
