the day during his time trained by Red Room, Bucky fell in love with Black Widow, who partially restored some of his humanity and past memories. Unfortunately, when the Red Room caught them having a relationship "forbidden" to their rules, Bucky remains unfound, while Black Widow was eventually rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D., and became one of the founding members of the Avengers after Captain America was found on ice years later. Sometime later, Bucky eventually wakes up and escapes Red Room in the same year as A-Day occurred. For three years since Captain America's presumed demise in A-Day, A.I.M., particularly Monica acquired Red Room's assets to brainwash Bucky once more and experiment on him. AIM Cloning Lab Two years later after the Avengers re-assembled, and Captain America was found alive thanks to Kamala, the team is informed that M.O.D.O.K. is awaiting for them at A.I.M.'s Utah branch of the cloning lab, and learns that Monica has escaped from his wrath once again. After being defeated by the Avengers, M.O.D.O.K. has learned the Kree's arrival is nearing, and shows them Bucky's exact location before he presumably dies. It is revealed that Bucky is also being put into similar station like how Monica secretly did to Captain America in A.I.M.'s space station. A Dark and Heavy Star Thanks to M.O.D.O.K.'s presumed death that allows Avengers to find Bucky's exact location, Bucky is offered to join the Avengers to redeem himself, in exchange for helping him find a way to remove the brainwashing protocols from his head.
