What If... The Red Guardian Stopped the Winter Soldier?

Зимний лис и медвежонок все еще любят друг друга💐

he looks so geniuenly sad when he hears that he failed a mission. poor baby 😭

Thinking about What If S3 E3 again today and the look on Bucky's face here is so powerful and telling of his thoughts and mental state.

He may not know he's Bucky Barnes, he knows he's about to be brainwashed but he is proud and himself.

He met someone [Alexei] he look up to, he finally act on his will, he did the "good guy thing" for the first time in how many years.

He was someone because he was finally seen as such so he had no problem looking HYDRA in the face and telling them "I won't awnser!"
