verb. To be a part not destroyed, taken or used. To stay. • Persecuted, seperated, devastated. Those who survived the events of the blip were not left unscathed. The scars that remain run deep, and some survivors are more scarred than most. Few more than James Buchanan Barnes and Katrina Ivanov. One endured five years of seperation. The other, barely a few seconds. Both now find themselves in a world that has suddenly become a hostile, unfamiliar place. They will be tested in ways they could never have anticipated; their loyalty, their values, their bond. They can only hope that their love will remain. • [Book Three of 'The Redemption Arc'] [Based on characters and events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
