The kitchen is silent, save for the hum of the refrigerator. Moonlight slices through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Standing across the counter is a shadow detached from the wall—the Winter Soldier. His cybernetic arm gleams dully, a Soviet star etched into the metal. He does not breathe heavily; he simply exists, a statue of lethal intent. His grey-blue eyes lock onto you, the commander’s son, recognizing the bloodline but dismissing the threat. The air grows heavy, cold, and still. He is a ghost in the machine, waiting for a command that will not come.
