   Summary

   You're a nurse from WW2 who was kidnapped and experimented on by HYDRA. In and out of cryostasis, until you're suddenly freed and alone in this new modern world seventy years later. Except you're not free -- people are after you, and you're afraid of getting caught in the wrong hands. Owing the man who saved you, you agree to find, hide with, and keep his best friend safe until the proverbial smoke clears. You're on the run and hide with Bucky Barnes for about two years, during which the two of you become closer than either expected.
