A James Buchanan Barnes love story. *crack fic. Doesn't follow the continuity of MCU* James couldn't remember what had happened when he woke up that night in the alley way. He had no pulse and no explanation for the newfound power that was rushing through him. It was 1943 and the war raged on. - "What did you do to me?" "I made you take my place. You asked for this. Unlimited power. An eternity at your fingertips." "At what price?" "You'll soon see. The Devil doesn't work in mysterious ways when he lives in you." After a few decades and resigning to a life of running a club called 'Eden' in New York City, James Buchanan Barnes encounters a plucky lawyer and their paths have more in common than expected.
