   Summary

   What if Bucky chose to not go back to HYDRA in 1988?

   Takes place after What If...? S2E2. Regardless of the mixed opinions around What If...?, I liked the idea of exploring what Bucky might do if he left HYDRA at an earlier time rather than after meeting Steve during The Winter Soldier, this is my imaging of how his story could continue after that storyline.
