    James sat by the river staring at the sky thinking about leaving the New York area. He wanted to start over and forget about all of this. Of course it wasn't going to be easy Steve was going to search for him so he had to move fast. As Bucky walked having flashbacks of terrible memories and good ones he thought of how disappointed Steve must be and how he let him down. Yet he chose to save him because he cared for Bucky.

    Evelyn had just finished her shift at the hospital and decided she'd go for a stroll after work. She wasn't too tired and she needed to clear her mind if things. It was almost the anniversary of his death and she just wanted to be alone. That's all she's been feeling lately, empty, sad and broken. Sure she'd put on her happy face for the children but she would go home and cry, it has been a year and she still felt like she should have been the one to die.

    Life was beautiful. But it was also fragile and ever-changing. That was something that Aubree had learned at a very young age. Things could be perfectly fine one second, and the next, everything could be in shambles. One day had changed her life completely. It was a day that she could remember quite clearly too. It was a beautiful afternoon in mid-May. It was a Friday too. She knew that because she was supposed to sleep over her friend's house that afternoon, and at the age of seven, she was only allowed to have sleepovers on Fridays and Saturdays. She had gotten off the bus, expecting her mother to be there waiting for her at the bus stop. All the other parents were there, but neither of hers were. She figured that her mother had lost track of time, so she walked the short distance back to her family's home. But that wasn't the case. Things were anything but how she had expected them to be because she hadn't expected to find her parents murdered, and seemingly in cold blood too. And by a man she had never seen before in her entire life. A man who she'd vowed, if she ever saw him again, to kill.
    Steve knew that Bucky wasn't the same man he'd been nearly seventy years ago. He knew that the man he was best friends with for most of his life might not be there anymore. But it wasn't Bucky's fault. It wasn't Bucky's fault that he was the way he was now. It was Steve's. And he knew that if anyone knew that he was blaming himself, they would tell him he was wrong. They would tell him that it wasn't his fault at all. None of what had happened, from Bucky to Hydra still existing, was his fault. And that was why he didn't tell anyone how he saw any of it. He didn't want to hear what everyone else thought or believed. Letting out a sigh, he stood, closing the folder that Natasha had given him with all of Bucky's information in it. He needed to clear his head, and the best way he could think of doing so was by going for a run.

    Evelyn walked slowly in her dark blue scrubs, her hair was in a messy bun, she kept walking feeling exhausted from spending time with the children and running around running errands for doctors and other nurses, she just wanted to go home. Maybe curl up in a ball and cry for thirty minutes, after all it was her fault she lost the one person she loved most, the person who she was ready to spend her life with, she wasn't ready for this kind of pain. One never really is but she was too young to feel it so soon and she just wanted the pain to leave at least once for a brief moment. Evelyn sighed softly, her heart felt heavy with pain again and she felt something salty on her lips, she hadn't realized she had already started crying. Quickly she wiped away the tears and huffed, she hated crying in public, no one around but still, she didn't want to show anyone her weakness. Evelyn always felt tears were a very personal thing and she didn't enjoy sharing them with just anyone. She walked to a bench and took a seat and started breathing softly, maybe her tears would stop if she would just shake any thoughts of him from her mind.

    Bucky kicked a few pebbles beneath his feet as he made his way back into the city, hiding his mechanical arm in his thick jacket and hid his face from the public. He thought long and hard about his past and about how he was used by Hydra to do so much evil and hurt so many people. How many lives had he taken? He had lost count all he saw was red all over his hands and he couldn't possibly wipe any of it off, not now and not ever. He wanted to move from this but flashbacks kept running through his head, some of Steve and some of what he did for Hydra, neither of them felt real, he rubbed his temples as he walked. He would go home and grab whatever he needed and leave without a word, he was a nobody after all. Not James Buchanan Barnes, not the Winter Solider, he was no one. He wanted to distance himself from the planet, he didn't want to hurt anyone, not anymore. As James walked into his apartment that was given to him by the hydra he remembered where everything was as he started grabbing thing quickly and packing as fast as he could, by now his face was all over the news.

    Aubree didn't usually stay in one place for very long. After her parents died, her grandparents took her in, and she lived with them up until she graduated high school. She tried out college for two years, got her bachelor's in psychology, before deciding that it wasn't really for her. Not when she had more pressing issues to deal with. Like finding the man who had killed her parents. So, for a couple of years now she'd been searching, though most of the time she came up with nothing. When she was sure that she had a lead, she came to a dead end, but maybe things were looking up. She'd left the TV going with one of the local news channels in her hotel room while she took a quick shower. When she walked out, she froze. Right there on the TV screen was the face of the man that she'd been searching for for years now.
    Steve was ready to blow off some steam, and clear his mind. He didn't know how long he was going to run for or much he was going to run, though it didn't exactly take him very long, he'd done thirteen and a half miles in under thirty minutes, but he did know that he would keep going until he'd done some thinking and his mind wasn't a jumbled mess like it was right now. He hadn't been running for very long, maybe ten or fifteen minutes at most, when he noticed a woman sitting by herself on one of the benches. If he continued along the path that he'd started, he would go right past her. And he did run right past her at first, but the second time he came around, no more than a minute or two later, he noticed her wiping at her face. And as he neared her, it was clear that she was crying. And he couldn't bring himself to run right on past her this time. "Ma'am?" He said politely. "Is everything alright?"

    James or Bucky or whoever he was, decided to leave, grabbing his couple of bags walked out of the small apartment he was staying at and left. He wasn't sure what his destination was but he was getting the hell out of New York for good. Too much damage and too much painful memories, he just wanted to move forward and forget his past, start a new life away from everyone, away from hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D and whatever else was looking for him. Before leaving he had decided that maybe if he chopped his hair no one would recognize him, of course wearing glasses would help but wearing something other than black was also helpful, the point was to blend in through the crowd and to stick out.

    Evelyn sat there not noticing anything or anyone but knew if she kept crying someone would notice and even in New York there was always someone who cared enough to ask her what was wrong. Of course it happened as she wiped her tears from her face. She looked up at the man who had stopped his jogging to come check up on her, she was staring for a moment and nodded her head gently, "yeah, I'm fine, just thinking really, I didn't mean to cry... it just happened" she whispered. It was the truth, she didn't really mean to cry especially in public, she was just tired of holding in all her pain to herself, she wanted someone to hold her whilst she cried. When he died all of her friends disappeared and so did his, they blamed her for his death, like it could have been avoided. She tried giving the handsome man a weak smile, but she was just shaky, dehydrated perhaps? Crying does that.

    This was probably one of the biggest leads Aubree had ever received. And it wasn't one that she had found herself. Usually she heard things from other people, sometimes in passing, and other times from people who she had met over the years who knew what she'd been up to since dropping the whole college plan after a few years. This was more than a coincidence or a possible lead though. This was big. She knew that she needed to act fast. The story was in regards to recent events in New York. If she hoped to even cross paths with this guy, she needed to leave now. So that was what she did. She packed her bag, she didn't carry many personal belongings, just the necessities, hopped in her car, and headed out.
    Now a lot closer to her, Steve could see that the young woman was in fact crying. He frowned slightly, wondering what, or who, could have possibly upset her. This wasn't exactly how he had planned on distracting himself, but he wasn't just going to leave. Not when he'd stopped and asked her what was wrong. Sure, for all he knew, she could have wanted to be alone, but she could also need someone to talk to. And because there was a possibility that that was, in fact, the case, he wasn't going anywhere. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked curiously. "You don't have to if you don't want to though. I know that you don't know me at all, I'm a complete stranger really, and I apologize if I'm prying."

    As James walked through the streets of NYC with his sunglasses on and a hat on his head he wondered what was in store for him, would he be caught? He hoped not, he wanted to erase all of this from his mind and possibly meet someone he could distract himself with. Nothing serious just something to get his mind clear out of all this mess, he also hoped for the best for his old best friend who he had saved from drowning. He walked past groups of people who gave him a weird look, he just shrugged it off and walked past them. Picking up the pace to catch a cab, where would he go, he was still unsure but anywhere outside of New York sounded good.

    Evelyn swallowed hard as he offered to listen to her, she wasn't sure if she should but she didn't really have friends to talk to. She stared at him for a moment before speaking, "it really isn't like me to cry in public, I usually wait until I'm alone, it's just been a long day today" she said softly pushing some hair away from her face. "I feel silly for it, I really don't want to bother you with my problems though, you look like you were concentrated in something" she picked up her water bottle from her bag and took a drink. Evelyn closed her eyes and sighed, "if you really don't mind listening, I'm just really sad and I know I've got every right to be but it's been almost two years I think I should be able to move on" she rambled.

    Aubree knew that, by the time she reached New York, the man would probably be gone. All of the leads that she had had in the past, though none had really been nearly as obvious or big as this one, had ended up being dead ends. Even if he'd been wherever she'd gone at one point, he was usually gone before she got there. She was hoping that, if luck was on her side, they would cross paths somewhere along the way. She wasn't getting her hopes up though. She wasn't expecting much from this lead at all really. She just drove for the sheer possibility of something come of it. And she drove for a good while until she'd reached Pennsylvania. She would stop there for the night, maybe even a couple of days depending on how things went and if there was anything else on this guy that she read in the papers or saw on the news, she was sure that there would be more on the story.
    "Don't feel silly about it. You wouldn't be bothering me at all. I offered to listen, remember?" Steve pointed out, offering her a small smile. He could tell that she meant what she said about not crying in public. She didn't seem like the type of person who was constantly looking for attention. In fact, something told him that she normally hoped to do the exact opposite. And he wanted her to know that she wasn't being a bother at all. If anyone was being a bother, it was probably him. And he really hoped that he wasn't intruding or prying like he'd said moments before. "If I minded, I wouldn't have offered. Sometimes talking ,about whatever is bothering you, with someone helps. Or so I've heard. And if it feels weird because I'm a stranger, my name's Steve, so you know my name and all." He cut himself off soon after that. He didn't want to start rambling. He still wasn't really good with talking to women. That was clearly something that hadn't changed in the last seventy or so years.

    James had stopped the cab after they were out of New York and settled for walking, he was going to enjoy some of the scenery at least for the time being. Pennsylvania was possibly his next place to visit, maybe he would see this as a road trip of some kind. James' head started hurting once more as he walked he couldn't shake off the flashbacks, they would come and go some familiar and some not so familiar sometimes they would blend together so he didn't know what was what. He would have to look for a motel or something to spend the night while this episode left his system, he had money, plenty but he wasn't going to throw it in people's faces and make the spotlight on him.

    Evelyn sighed softly and nodded looking back at him smiling softly, "well, I really do appreciate you listening to me then, and my name's Evelyn" she said softly and then looked back at her hands. She wasn't sure where to start, she cleared her throat, "just almost two years ago, my boyfriend Jake and I were in this huge argument I don't even remember what it was about all I remember is the loud crashes in the background" she started speaking swallowing hard, "he um.. he died in car crash and I've always felt like it was my fault because if I had just not started arguing or whatever it was I was doing he would still be alive" she wiped some tears from her face. "Everyone seems to blame me for his death, because he was distracted and possibly drinking I don't know really know the details all I know that I've had this guilt following me for almost two years and I'm just heartbroken and I want to move on and stop being sad but I always fall back into this depression" she breathed softly. "I went to a therapist for awhile and she reassured me it wasn't my fault that I had no way of knowing what he was doing but I still feel guilty and everyone seems to remind me every time I come into contact with them, I just want to come to peace with this" she whispered.

    Aubree found herself in a town whose name she didn't know. She could have easily continued on driving to Philadelphia, but considering his face was plastered all over newspapers and appearing on just about every single news channel, she had a feeling that he wouldn't be walking around any of the major cities in the country. For all she knew, he had already somehow managed to leave the country. Even though this was probably one of the better leads that she'd had in a very long time, she wasn't expecting very much from it. Sure, she could be optimistic and believe that she would finally find him, but she'd done that in the past, and her optimism had never really helped her in the long-run. She didn't think that she was a pessimist. No. She considered herself a realist. And it was her realist philosophy that led her to believe that this would just be another dead end. Glancing at the time on the clock, she decided to check into a motel for the night. It was late afternoon, now nearing evening, and she doubted that she would be able to make any more progress today. Pulling into the parking lot of some no-name motel, she didn't have the money to stay in five-star hotels all the time, she went and got a room for a couple of nights. She didn't know how long she would be staying there. Maybe a day. Maybe a couple of days. A couple of weeks. She never knew how long she was going to stay in one place at one time. Once she put her things in her room, she decided to get a candy bar or something from the vending machine outside. It wasn't the most nutritious of dinners, but after driving for several hours, the last thing that she wanted to do was go sit in some diner for half an hour to forty-five minutes. So, a Kit Kat would have to suffice. She fished a couple of quarters out of her wallet and put them in before pressing the buttons, C-5, and waiting for the candy bar to fall. She frowned when, just her luck, it got stuck. "Dammit." She mumbled.
    Steve moved to take a seat on the bench next to her. He felt sort of awkward standing there, almost like he was looming over her. Plus, he was sure that this wouldn't be a short story either. Not that he was in any sort of a rush or anything. He'd told Evelyn that he'd be there to listen to her. He wasn't going to rush off once she'd told him. He wasn't like that. He was going to sit there and listen to what she had to say, whatever it was that was bothering her, and then he'd offer his own feedback on what she said. "I'm sorry for your loss." He said, a slight frown on his face. "You shouldn't blame yourself for what happened though, Evelyn. And I don't understand why those people are telling you that it is, but you shouldn't listen to them. They're wrong. And I'm sure that, if you could talk to Jake one last time, he wouldn't blame you for what happened. I know that you hardly know me, and my opinion probably doesn't mean all that much to you, but I know how it feels to lose someone close to you. It's never easy, and it usually takes a while to come to terms with the fact that it happened, and I'm not going to tell you that it gets easier, because it doesn't. You just learn how to handle the fact that it happened."

    James sat in the corner of the bed and sighed rubbing his temples trying to think of how he could possibly leave the country knowing he was being followed. Well, not directly but he always had the chance of being caught at any time. He had sat back on the bed and mindless fiddled with the remote just to flip through the channels not really watching anything but use it as a distraction from thinking about everything that's happened. James sighed softly as he stared mindlessly at the screen in front of him and closed his eyes for a brief moment before hearing grunting outside, he stood up and walked over to his windows. He pulled some of his curtain to see what the noise was about he looked it was dark and there was a girl shaking a vending machine. He chuckled softly, he wasn't sure why he found that sight funny, possibly because she was kind of short and shook the machine or because it was just weird to see someone fight a machine. He watched the helpless girl keep shaking the machine bystanders were watching and not doing anything about it, he sighed and grabbed his hat putting on his head before deciding to go out and helping her out. He walked out and made his way to the vending machine with some coins he stared at the persistent girl for a moment before clearing his throat, "need some help?"

    Evelyn shook her head sadly, "it's all right, I mean death happens every day right? I just never really expected for it to happen to me so soon" she rubbed her hands together, "those people I don't think they ever liked me so I think they have an excuse to 'hate' me." She sighed softly, "you see when I met my boyfriend he was a mess, drugs and alcohol problems, and I'm a nurse so I know the damage that it does to your body, so I told him I was willing to help him recover" she continued,closing her eyes. "So I helped him in exchange for a date or something" she chuckled "he was doing fine and I think he got out of it and left all those bad influences behind, you could say that's why they don't like me but I really don't care because he did love me enough to help himself out of that situation I just wish we hadn't argued that night, I shouldn't hold my self responsible I know but I still feel so guilty" Evelyn rubbed her hands together. She looked at him, "You're really kind to sit here and listen to a complete stranger talk about her feelings and such, I don't meet a lot of people like that, kind of sad if you think about it, but thank you anyway"

    Some might call Aubree stubborn, but she saw it as determination. And right now, she was determined to get that damn candy bar out of the vending machine at all costs. She wasn't about to put more money in the machine. No. Why would she do that when it had already pretty much taken her money without giving her the delicious Kit Kat that she'd been hoping to eat for dinner? Sure, maybe it was karma. Maybe she'd done something and this was some sort of strange payback. Or maybe whatever celestial being was up there needed a good laugh and decided that she would be its target. Well the joke was on them then because she wasn't giving up that easily. No. Instead, she studied the machine for a moment before trying to shake it to the best of her ability, hoping that she could shake the candy bar loose or something. She mumbled a few choice words under her breath when she had no such luck. So, she tried again. And again. And she was so focused on trying to get the damn candy bar out of the machine that she didn't even realize someone else had approached the vending machine. Not until she heard someone clear their throat. Her gaze shifted from the machine, which she had been staring down moments before, to the man who had approached her and the vending machine. "No, I've got this. But thank you." She said stubbornly before turning back and surveying the situation once more. She was determined to do this herself.
    "No one really ever expects it to happen when it does. Everyone thinks that they have more time with a person, regardless of the situation they're in." Steve said. That was how he saw it anyway. He had never imagined that he would lose Bucky the day that he fell from the train. Granted, he wasn't actually dead, but that was besides the point. It all had been rather unexpected. "So you helped him then. What his friends thought, or even what they think now, doesn't matter. You probably helped make Jake into a better person. And what you think, and what you know, matters more than what anyone else thinks." He knew that his opinion probably didn't matter much to her. Not when they really didn't know each other at all, but he was going to give her his opinion and his feedback regardless. He smiled slightly. "I'm not like most people." Now that's an understatement.

    James stared at the girl and bit his lip trying to hold back a chuckle, "all right" he finally replied as he crossed his arms and watched the girl struggle. He wanted to help her but she insisted on doing it herself without any help from anyone. "Well, if you need help let me know, I kind of want a candy bar too" he smiled as he counted his change. James hasn't met someone quite as stubborn as this girl, well, except maybe Steve but he didn't want to think about that now. Once he's made up his mind about something he would do it no matter the circumstances or obstacles, Steve was someone 'Bucky' admired, he had a lot of guts. James could be a very patient person and as he watched the girl shake the machine and grunting out some curses he was ready to just move her to the side and shake the machine himself.

    Evelyn nodded in agreement she appreciated his feedback, finally someone who was honest with her without holding back, she had lot in her mind and was glad someone was willing to listen to her, even though she would cry again later. She sighed softly, "I know it shouldn't matter, I've thought about this for months and I'm glad that he changed for the better, but I feel like maybe I could have done something to avoid this," she shook her head, "I need to just not over complicate things." she mumbled rubbing her face and looked up, "that's not necessarily bad, people these days are selfish and don't care about anyone other then themselves, which is why I want to help people in anyway I can, I don't want to be selfish" she explained. Evelyn looked at the time, "I've been sitting here for hours, I hadn't realized, wow"

    Aubree knew without even looking at the guy that he was probably attempting to not laugh at her. The amusement was rather evident in his voice. And she knew that he probably thought that she couldn't do this on her own, but she'd done plenty of things on her own throughout her life, and she wasn't going to let something like a damn candy bar be her downfall so to speak. "I don't need any help." She said almost immediately after he had spoken. She was sure that he thought that she did need his help, and maybe she really did, but she was far too stubborn to actually admit it. She'd always been stubborn and a bit hardheaded. It was just who she was. And she wasn't going to admit defeat anytime soon.
    Steve was glad that he'd stopped to talk to her. It was quite clear that she'd needed to talk to someone about all of this, and he was glad that he could be at least some help to her. And she'd sort of helped him without even actually knowing it because he hadn't really thought much about Bucky and his own guilt. He was focusing on helping her deal with her own. "That's probably easier said than done though." He pointed out. He could kind of just tell that she was the type of person to overthink and over complicate things. "I noticed that." People really were selfish now. Of course, he'd met some amazing people since waking up, but he'd also noticed how different people acted now to how they'd acted back in the forties. Really everything was different now, and although he'd started getting the hang of technology, and catching up on things that he had missed out on, the differences were still there. "Do you have somewhere to be?"

    James just watched her and shrugged his shoulders, "well, I just offered you don't have to take it" he kept watching her and looked at the time. "I would like to get something out though before you continue to beat up this vending machine any further" James watched her step aside and he grabbed some quarters from his pocket and inserted them into the machine. After pressing some buttons he made his section and shook the machine a couple of times, getting both items to fall over, he smiled softly and grabbed his candy bar.

    Evelyn sighed softly and looked up at Steve it was the first time she really paid attention to his face, he was really handsome her breath caught in her throat, "not really I just stopped because I needed to calm myself down, why do you ask?" she must have looked a mess. Here is this very muscular guy running and sweating and still looked better than her, she bit her lip nervously.

    Aubree stepped aside so that he could get something from the machine. She rolled her eyes slightly at his words. "Do you always find amusement in the misfortune of others?" She asked. She could tell that he was still pretty amused by the whole thing, and it was sort of starting to piss her off. She almost felt like he was mocking her in a way especially with the comment he'd made about her beating up the vending machine. She watched as he inserted a few coins in the machine. Once he shook the machine, successfully managing to get both items to fall over, and grabbed his candy bar, she grabbed her own. "I can take care of myself." She said simply. She didn't so much as tell him thank you. She hadn't been looking for his assistance. Really, she hadn't been looking for any assistance at all, and then he just had to show up and help when his help wasn't even wanted or needed.
    Steve gave his shoulders a slight shrug. "No real reason. I was just curious." He told her honestly. He took that moment to take in her appearance, and he noticed the pair of blue scrubs that she was wearing. He knew that she had mentioned something about being a nurse, and he assumed that she had just finished up her shift or something before she ended up here. He was sort of surprised with how easy talking to her was. Normally, he wasn't really all that good at talking to women, especially when they were beautiful, and even with a tear-stained face, he could see that Evelyn was a beautiful woman. But he hadn't so much as stumbled over his words once yet. It was strange.

    James shrugged his shoulders, "not really, I just think it's amusing when people continue to fight with inanimate objects when they don't have to. Believe it or not I don't enjoy the misfortune of others." he finished talking and then headed back to his room. He closed the door behind him and sat on his bed, that girl had some kind of attitude problem he was simply trying to help her, I guess that's what he got for trying to be helpful. James lied back on his back and sighed softly as he took a bite out of his Snickers candy bar, he thought about the stubborn girl, he didn't really take a good look at her but she sounded determined. He shook his head and closed his eyes, he probably wouldn't see her again.

    Evelyn nodded and looked back at her hands, "I should really go home and change I'm a mess right now" she laughed softly, rubbing her arms together. She stood up and sighed softly grabbing her bag, "it was really nice of you to sit down and listen to me rant about myself thank you so much" she didn't really want to leave. "Also it was nice meeting you," she bit her lip and watched him stand, he was very tall or at least compared to her own short stature.

    Aubree didn't get the chance to say much else after that. After the guy answered her question, he sort of just walked off. She hadn't even really gotten a good look at him what with the dim lighting coming from the vending machine and all. Rolling her eyes, she turned and headed back to her room, Kit Kat in hand. She would have managed to get the candy bar without mystery man's help. Hell, she'd probably loosened it for him or something. That's what she told herself anyway. Deep down though she knew that she was being stubborn. She knew that she should have just accepted his help when he offered it to her. She knew that she was in the wrong, but she could bring herself to actually openly admit to any of it. Because that wasn't what she did. She did things on her own. She had for years now and that wasn't going to change anytime soon.
    Steve chuckled softly. "Nah, you don't look too bad." He told her, grinning slightly. She was in a much better state now than she'd been in when he first noticed her. And he was glad that he had been there to just well be a person that she could talk to. Even if none of what he had said really stuck with her, he hoped that she felt better now that what had been eating her was out in the open. "Like I said before, it wasn't a problem at all. You looked like you could use someone to talk to." He shrugged his shoulders once he stood up. "And it was nice meeting you to, Evelyn. Maybe I'll uh, see you around sometime?" And now suddenly he didn't know what to say to her and he was back to being the Steve Rogers who had no idea how to really talk to a woman at all.

    James hoped that the girl would cool down, he didn't ran to mock her he just found it funny. Eventually he fell asleep for a couple hours before he was woken by yelling. James stood up and walked to the window and peaked through the shades, he's noticed a couple arguing and telling at each other. He rolled his eyes he didn't know why people had to argue out in public why they even caused a scene nothing good comes of it. He sat down on the bed looking at the time 1 am, it was too early to leave yet no buses ran this early or so he thought. James often wondered why the world had change so much it was very different then the forties, sure the technology was better but people were worse. More greedy and selfish he didn't feel like he fit on.

    Evelyn giggled and thanked him, "I'm so exhaust I guess I should go take a hot bubble bath or something" she mostly said to herself. She often talked to herself she was a little strange. She looked at Steve when he said something and smiled, "I do hope I see you around, you're very kind" she wanted to say other things but didn't want to embarrass herself. She but her lip nervously, "um maybe.." Evelyn knew she had to start meeting new people and making new friends. "We could just hang out sometime? I'd really like to know more about you, since you've spent so much time listening to me I'd like to return the favor"
