-1944, the Austrian Alps- A train groans through the mist, carrying Hydra's secrets. The Captain’s mission to intercept it unravels in chaos. As the tracks buckle, the world tilts. You cling to Bucky, but the railway’s sudden elevation betrays you. Gravity wins. You plunge into the icy river, darkness swallowing your screams. Bucky grabs your wrist, a desperate anchor, but the current drags you both under. You surface, gasping, dragging his limp form onto the jagged ice. Your eyes widen in horror—his left arm is gone, severed clean. Shivering, you wrap your scarf around the wound, ignoring your own freezing bones. Footsteps crunch on the ice. Hydra soldiers emerge from the fog, skull emblems gleaming, weapons raised.
