It had taken me many weeks to finally track down the location of Bucky's safe house. I had tracked him all the way to Germany, but even there, he was a wanted man for the deeds he had done as the Winter Soldier. He had been hiding out in a small apartment being rented out by an old woman who needed an income after her husband died. I didn't question the fact that he had money. He had done so many terrible things in the past, Stealing money was the least of the things he could be charged for.

I stood outside of the door to the apartment trying to figure out what to do. If I knocked on the door, he might bolt. If I opened the door (supposing that it wasn't locked), he might bolt. If I tried to call to him from outside the door, he might bolt. Whatever I decided to do, I was going to have to do it soon. I had to warn him. I decided to try to open the door. I was expecting it to be locked, but it wasn't. I silently hoped that he hadn't deserted the safe house. Opening the door all the way, I stepped inside the room only to feel a gun being put against my head. I froze.

"Buck, It's me. Josie. Please put the gun down. I'm here to help you." He hesitated for a moment then lowered the gun and turned the safety back on. Great, if he had pressed that trigger, I would have been dead.

"How did you find me?" He asked quietly, still holding the gun in his hands. He wouldn't look at me. Instead, he stood staring fixedly on the gun.

"That isn't important right now, Bucky. You have to get out of here. The police are on their way. The lady you are renting this apartment from's son alerted the police of your presence here. You have to go. If you don't, they'll kill you." He slowly looked up at me with his sad blue eyes. He then looked away and slowly walked towards the kitchen table.

"Maybe it's for the best." He said quietly. I couldn't believe my ears.

"What are you talking about? You have to go!" He shook his head.

"I don't belong here. I'm a killer now. I've done terrible things that would have scared me to even think of when I was still me. I can never go back to that. I can never be who I was. I can never be with you. Everything I ever promised you before is impossible. As much as we both wish we could, we can't be together. I am dangerous and need to be put away."

"I won't let that happen."

"Josie, please..."

"Bucky, I love you."

"You don't know me anymore. I'm not 'James Barnes.' I'm the Winter Soldier. An assassin. A murderer. A terrorist. A killer. None of those words describe the way I was. Please, I don't want to hurt you. The police will always be able to find me. Good always wins over evil." He started to walk towards the door to wait for the police when I spoke up again.

"What if I told you that there is somewhere we can go where you will be safe? What would you say?" He paused and turned around.

"This isn't the time to be dreaming."

"I know it sounds made up, but believe me, It's real, and we can go there-together. What do you say, Buck? Will you come with me?" He stared at me apprehensively then nodded his head. I smiled "Good. We are going to have to run for it, but I need you to keep hold of my hand. Never drop it, or I'll loose you. Ok?" He nodded his head again. As we started out of the apartment he stopped running, pulling me towards him as he stopped. He gave me a soft kiss before staring down at me scared.

"We'll be together and safe?" He said quietly. I nodded my head.

"Always, Bucky." He nodded his head before taking me I'm his arms bridal style. He carried me to the opposite end of the hallway before he started to run. He was running towards a large window. Before I could yell for him to stop, we had crashed through the window and were falling to the ground.
