For the next two years Kyla, Steve, and the rest of the Avengers took down over 50 Hydra bases.

Hydra was weaker then ever. Kyla and Steve got what they wanted.

How to change Bucky back so he never turns into the Winter Soldier and a list of the phrases that could set him off. It was all written in some old notebook.

Kyla and Steve worked so hard and they finally got what they wanted all along.

For Bucky to be safe and live in a world where no one wants to hurt him.

Stark had re-attached his arm and made a few new adjustments to it.

It is now lighter, made of a stronger material. And it is easy on his skin so that it won't pull as much.

I visit him all the time and soon he'll finally come out.

I'm so worried he won't remember me, but he should be fine. I can't live without him anymore, he should be out experiencing new things with us.

It's time.

Stark and Dr. Banner (he finally came back to us) they fixed Bucky's brain and removed a small metal chip that Hydra implanted in him.

Now, it was just time to defrost him.

Steve and I were holding hands and waiting impatiently for him to defrost.

Finally, after all this time. He was here. He was back with us.

He opened his eyes and looked at his arm. He played around with it for a few minutes then looked around. He couldn't see us right now because Stark thinks it will be best if he remembers on his own.

"What year is it?" He asked. "2018" Stark answered over the intercom. "Are Kyla and Steve alive? Are they around? Is Hydra gone? Am I healed?" He asked and looked around and began to panic.

"You're fixed. Nothing anyone says will ever turn you back into the Winter Soldier. Kyla and Steve are alive and they are here... Would you like to see them?"

"Yes!" He answered excitedly.

The door opened and Bucky ran and hugged both of us at the same time in a big bear hug. "You guys did it!" He said and kissed both of our cheeks.

I was trying not to cry because I didn't want him to see how badly things were without him. "How does your arm feel?" Steve asked trying to make conversation.

"It's lighter. And there's no red star, I love it." He said. "Well, look at this." I said and pressed a tiny button on his thumb. "If you press this it changes to a regular hand color"

Bucky was smiling and so was Steve and I now.

~~~

Bucky and I were in our apartment, I was talking about how Steve and I hunted down Hydra and destroyed all their bases.

He was listening to everything he missed. "You know, I don't think I've ever felt this relived or relaxed since before I joined the army.

"Really?" I asked and he pulled me closer. We were on our couch cuddling, eating pizza and just talking. "Yes, there no more Hydra for me to worry about, or Winter Soldier. I finally feel peace and I don't have to hide from anything anymore. "

"Good, you deserve to be happy." I smiled.

This was it, my mission was complete. Bucky was finally free from everything, hydra, the winter soldier and from his fear of being caught.

My mission was to give him the peace he deserved and I finally did it.

--------------------

Kyla and Bucky lived together now in an apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Right across the hall was Steve.

They were so happy and still in love. Steve was dating Sharon and everyone was happy. The Avengers were at peace with each other, things in the superhero world were calm.....

.....that is, for now......
