  Summary

  The Winter Soldier escapes the captivity of Hydra before any of the modern time movie stuff happens. also spoiler I have NOT watched the movies I'm sorry I don't have Disney+

  You find him out while hunting and decide, what the hey! and take home the stray. plot ensues (and maybe feelings??) (oh no!)
