   Summary

   What happens when a woman meets a man at a bar? Well, when that man is James Buchanan Barnes, current Avenger and former congressman, the answer is... not what you might expect. Rose Ward was just an ambitious photojournalist towing the line between protecting herself and fighting for what she believes in when the Winter Soldier walked into her life, and now as tensions rise on a global scale as a result of all the chaos and tragedy of the last few years, they're forced to ask the question that will change the course of both their futures: can they survive together, or is the only way forward on two separate paths?
