Cool. Also, you remember when I asked you if the Winter Soldier should have his own movie and you said it should have other characters in it? Well, what do you think of this first draft.

We open in 1995, where Bucky is being brainwashed for another mission. Vasily Karpov is shown reading out his trigger words, as Bucky is left helpless. When Bucky says “ready to comply.” it is revealed that Karpov is demonstrating this to a young girl with green hair. The girl looks on in amazement as the Winter Soldier is sent on his mission.

The film then fast-forwards to Nevada in 2020, one/two years after the Infinity War. Haunted by Steve Rogers’ death during the conflict, Bucky has now become a recluse living in an abandoned train. The amount of brainwashing he has suffered over the years has resulted in a mild form of brain damage. He occasionally visits a small nearby village to restore order. On one occasion, he saves a young woman from being raped and beaten in an alleyway, but he is stopped before he kills the attacker.

The person who stops him is revealed to be Nebula, who has been living on earth since the end of Infinity War. She takes Bucky back to her car, where she reveals that she and her anonymous allies have been investigating refunctioning HYDRA facilities. They have discovered a young woman named Kate Bishop (Daisy Ridley) has been captured with the intention of being made into a new Winter Soldier.

Bucky is taken to Nebula’s allies, who are revealed to be Clint Barton and Sam Wilson. Bucky initially refuses to join the group, before Nebula reveals that, once activated, Bishop will be used to find and capture him. Bucky reluctantly agrees.

Bucky and Nebula drive to a HYDRA facility in the ruins of the legendary Area 51, where Bishop is being held. When they find Bishop and release her, Kate reveals that her DNA information is installed on the computers in the facility. Nebula and Bucky destroy the computers before escaping with Kate in tow.

In transit, they are ambushed by a van driven by HYDRA goons, led by 8-Ball (Kevin Hart). 8-Ball says that he has been tasked with returning both Bucky and Bishop to his employer: Madame Hydra (Kristen Bell), the mysterious new commander of the remaining branches of HYDRA.

Bucky and Nebula fight their way out, brutally killing most of the guards before rescuing Bishop, Nebula receiving several gunshot and stab wounds in the process. The trio escape the battle by boarding a train, where Bucky holds off remaining goons by throwing them off and into the wheels of the train. Bucky is badly beaten in both of these fights, causing him pain and trauma from his brain damage.

They arrive at Kate’s old home, a small abandoned farmhouse. Bucky and Nebula poorly apply medical attention to themselves before going to bed. Due to there being only two beds in the house, Nebula and Bucky need to share the double-bed.

Bucky begins to have a night-terror of his experiences as the Winter Soldier, waking up shouting. The next day, Wilson and Barton arrive at the house and they all eat dinner together, Barton noticing a bow and arrow in Kate’s room. Kate reveals that she was a big fan of Hawkeye during his Avengers days and learned archery.

Throughout this, Barton and Kate start to bond, with Barton teaching Kate new tricks to fire arrows with, while both revealing that Madame Hydra killed both of their families. That night, Nebula confronts Bucky about his night-terrors, and he opens up to her about his experiences. A close friendship forms between the two as they share their similar backstories.

The next day, Kate goes to get firewood and is captured by the soldiers. Bucky captures one soldier, being shot in the leg in the process. Nebula and Barton interrogate the soldier until he reveals 8-Ball’s location.

When the group find 8-Ball, they ask him where Madame Hydra is keeping Kate. 8-Ball then reveals that Madame Hydra has become obsessed with finding Bucky, and has developed a new Super Soldier serum, filled with dangerous, highly addictive chemicals. After a quick attempt to escape, 8-Ball is killed by Bucky as he, Murdock and Nebula go to find Kate.

They arrive at an abandoned neighborhood in Brooklyn. After reminiscing about his past life here, Bucky goes in alone, where he is ambushed and tranquilized. He wakes up inside the facility, tied to a memory-wiping machine.

He meets Madame Hydra, who reveals that her real name is Ophelia Sarkissian, the illegitimate daughter of Vasily Karpov. After seeing Bucky as a child, she became obsessed with controlling him herself, desperate to prove to her father that she wasn’t a mistake.

Hydra plans to turn Bucky back into the Winter Soldier, using the recovered red book from Zemo to read out the trigger words, but Nebula is able to release him, before stealing files revealing Kate’s location. After rendezvousing with Falcon and Hawkeye, Nebula reveals that Kate is being held in the abandoned Avengers Tower.

As they prepare to break Kate out, Falcon gives Bucky Cap’s shield, telling him “if you’re going into battle, you need a uniform.”

They arrive at the tower, Bucky wearing Cap’s third Avengers uniform and carrying the shield. When they free Kate and carry her to safety, Hydra finds them.

As the others watch in silence, Barton confronts Hydra, telling her that what Karpov thought of her didn’t matter, and if she herself thought she was worth it, she didn’t have to prove it. Hydra arrogantly gloats about killing Barton’s family, holding a gun to her head and telling him to shoot her. Barton refuses, revealing that he has forgiven her.

Furious at Barton’s revelation and refusal to give into vengeance, Hydra stabs him through the chest with a dagger. To the others’ horror, Barton falls to his death, angering Kate into using the trick Barton taught her to fire an arrow into Hydra’s stomach. As the group escapes the collapsing facility, Hydra shatters the remaining containers of serum and injects herself with it, before arming herself with two guns and a knife.

As they escape into an abandoned alleyway (the same one where Bucky saved Steve in TFA), Hydra catches up and challenges them to fight. Falcon attacks, before Hydra shoots his jet-pack, causing him to crash-land. Wanting to avenge Barton, Kate tries to fight Hydra, but Hydra overpowers her and breaks her leg. Before Hydra can kill Kate, Nebula then joins the fight, slashing her arrow wound before being thrown off of the helipad. As Nebula hangs on, Bucky tells Hydra to “pick on someone your own size.”

Bucky and Hydra fight, Bucky seemingly subduing Hydra. As he goes to help Nebula, he is stabbed in the side by Hydra, who knocks Bucky down and delivers several strong blows to the head. Bucky lies on the ground, almost experiencing an aneurysm from his brain damage, while Hydra pulls out a gun with which to execute Kate, Falcon and Nebula. As Bucky lays on the ground, almost unconscious, he sees Steve looking at him, saying “go on pal. To the end of the line!”

Bucky then picks up the shield and challenges Hydra, using his skills and strength to outwit her. He eventually delivers a blow to Hydra’s head with the shield, cauing Hydra to hit her back on a pipe, breaking her spine and paralyzing her. Bucky and the others watch as Hydra turns her own neck to commit suicide.

After Hydra’s death, the group mourns for Barton, burying him outside of the city with his bow and arrow. Bucky and Nebula also burn Hydra's body in an ash heap, throwing the Red Book in with her. A month passes, and Bucky says goodbye to Sam and Kate, who are going across the country to find other HYDRA leaders.

Bucky returns to his trainwreck, before discovering that Nebula has chosen to stay with him. Bucky, who is happy to see her, embraces Nebula as they leave the train wreck, watching the sunset and admiring the view, Bucky finally being free of the Winter Soldier forever.

And I imagine this song will be playing during the credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4J-23XKYXk
