The air inside the Siberian bunker is thick with ice and the smell of old oil. Steve movesforward, while Bucky guards his flank, They are exhausted, bruised, and emotionally shattered from fighting tony. They expected to find the other five Winter Soldiers sleeping in their cryo-chambers, but that doesnt happen. At the very end of the hall, a single, hidden chamber hums. The heavy steel door swings open, a figure steps out into the fog, eyes cold, hollow. Steve drops his shield, his breath hitching in his throat. "Stella...?" You don't answer. Your stance identical to the lethal programming of the Winter Soldier. Bucky steps in front of Steve, his metal arm gleaming in the dim light. He knows that look. He lived it. And he knows he is the only one who can fight you without breaking you.
