the winter soldier is a killing machine, but bucky barnes is no stranger to death either. it follows him like the men who follow his sisters in the street when they think he’s not there, or the illnesses that cling to steve throughout their youth. it starts innocently enough, a handful of old relatives, a few who have accidents in whatever factory they’re working in. he reaches his teenage years and a few coworkers of his have fatal accidents, but that’s not unheard of in a shipyard. sarah rogers’ death hits him hard, but everything will be okay as long as he can get steve through this, because steve is the one loss he wouldn’t be able to shake. then the war starts, and suddenly death is everywhere he looks. he gets drafted, and now he’s the one that causes it. because death follows bucky barnes and now that it has a chance to guide his hands, it takes it. death clings to him even as he falls from the train, watching the eyes of the most important person in his deathly life get smaller and smaller as he grows colder and colder. he thinks this is the end, but then his arm is on fire and there are men talking in a strange language and he realizes that it will never be over. because he is bucky barnes, and death seems to want to take everything but him.
