During the confrontation with Zola, Steve asks him about the strange man with a metal arm. He is horrified by what he hears and decides to reach out to the Winter Soldier… ''without'' knowing his identity.

In many ways, saving the Soldier from HYDRA was the easy part.

So far, there are four fics in the series: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12558122/1/Make-Me-Whole Make Me Whole]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12878311/1/Shards-of-Me Shards Of Me]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13460740/1/Wonders Wonders]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13500758/1/Dancing-on-Broken-Glass Dancing On Broken Glass]]. The author has confirmed there will be a fifth fic called ''Take Me In''.
