One event can break a person, no matter how powerful they are. One cycle of abuse can continue a chain reaction. A system meant to destroy others. A system that can be heavily abused. The weak can become strong, the strong can become powerless. Good can become evil. Just a twist of events can change fate.
Hydra is one of the most evil organizations in the world. Starting out as part of Nazi-Germany to become a post-war myth to the public. The Winter Soldier returned from his mission that killed Howard Stark and Maria Stark. He walked into the Hydra facility, right where Alexander Pierce. The Winter Soldier’s crimson eyes stared at the man behind Hydra. He frowned behind his mask, having enough. He took his gun out and shot Alexander in front of the others.
Hydra had created the ultimate weapon, a human weapon with no emotions or self-control. However, with the amount of memory wiping, the brainwashing, the torture, and being put on ice, made the Winter Soldier snap. Over the 50 years Hydra has had the Winter Soldier under their control, but a machine, no matter how well it has been oiled, will break. And the Winter Soldier did.
Hydra made the perfect weapon…
The perfect weapon they lost control over.
The perfect weapon that turned on them, not from Bucky Barnes coming forth from the brainwashing, but because they broke the Winter Soldier themselves.
The guards surrounding Alexander rushed forward to try and hold down the Winter Soldier but they failed miserably. The Winter Soldier grabbed their necks, snapping it, or breaking their spines, shooting bullets in their brains. He left the room to head down the hall to where a computer chamber is.
“The Winter Soldier visits little ol’ me? What does the former Sergeant Barnes want?” A robotic voice was heard - Armin Zola, a former scientist, now an A.I. in the computer, still technically controlling Hydra from the shadows, in the computer.
Crimson eyes glared at the computer and shot the powerbank of the computer, this was where Zola’s mainframe is, where he is originally stored.
The Winter Soldier slipped out of the room and headed down the looming corridors straight to where the hire ups are. He took out his grenade and chucked it into the room. When it set off, it killed off every person in the room.
Chaos, that was the best way to describe the situation, it was chaotic. The Winter Soldier killing off anyone in his way.
"The girls are all trained to be controlled and deadly." Madame B explained while guiding Bucky through the Red Room Headquaters. "They're very delicate and easy to control."
Bucky had taken over the Red Room and got the Black Widows under his command by force. Like he did to Alexander Pierce, Bucky had murdered Dreykov as well. He commanded the Black Widows after the murder and kept the Red Room program alive. With so much power on his hands, Bucky had murdered the president of Russia and took over the country and turned it into his own grounds.
Bucky nodded, his eyes glancing over the young girls being trained, pushed to the limits. "Not bad, however there are chances for a Widow in training to break free." He pointed out. "When you train an actor, they can play a role to the point that even the teacher cannot tell if they are acting or not."
Madame B hummed in thought. "Good point, Winter. What would you reccomend? Full brainwashing?"
Bucky nodded.
"It could work, but then again, even you snapped and took over Hydra." She stated.
"The way they used brainwashing on me was that they kept erasing and reconstructing my brain." He shrugged.
"So we could do something similar but prevent any way for the girls to break. We could get one of our scientists to figure it out."
Bucky nodded, his eyes on the girls. He noticed a young girl with blonde hair shooting all targets flawlessly. "She's good." He commented.
"Ah, Yelena Belova. Yes, she is becoming a star student. Top of her group, a prodigy." Madame B stated. Bucky nodded, logging that in the back of his head.
A decade later, Bucky was in his office in the office of where the Russian Government stays. Bucky was working on a new plan when suddenly, he felt hands on his shoulders.
"Hello, маленькая вдова." Bucky said.
"Your office is as boring as ever." Yelena smirked.
Yelena Belova, Bucky’s favourite Black Widow. She is the General of the Red Room, and in charge of training the next generation of the Black Widows.
Bucky smirked. "Well, what do you expect I'd have? The heads of the former government mounted on the wall?"
"That would be a sight."
"Sadist."
"Says the terriorist."
"Touche."
“Anyway, what are you doing?”
“I’m not doing much.” Bucky smirked, putting a cigarette in between his lips as his crimson eyes lazily went half-lidded. “What makes you think I’m planning anything, Doll-face?”
"Because you're smiling, you're smoking and you're plotting." Yelena grinned widely. "What are you planning."
Bucky glanced down at the plans.

"I think it's time we introduce the world to Captain Hydra." Bucky smirked.
Yelena hummed before taking a seat on Bucky's lap. "You sure that's a smart idea? We still don't know your control over him is absolute, Yasha."
"Maybe not, but it will be a good test to see." Bucky reached up and cupped Yelena's jaw. "How effective my torture on poor Steve Rogers was." He smirked before kissing her lips.
Bucky just smirked and turned in his seat, blowing out the smoke. "Well, I was thinking, with the Avengers being formed and a certain Captain Carter taking command, that soon, we'll send my old friend a surprise." He set down the cigarette in the ash tray and leaned back in his seat.
"You were old friends with the new Captain of America?" Yelena blinked.
"Yeah, from what I read about an old file of myself, she was a good friend to me and our dear Captain Hydra, especially." Bucky's crimson eyes had a dangerous glint within. "I think our beloved Captain Hydra will like to pay a visit to his old love in his former life."
