A Winter Soldier/Reader Alternate Timeline Fan-fic. This is Book 1 for my series The Spring Soldier Takes place after Captain America: The First Avenger, but before the first Avengers movie. The reader is a mutant, who has been hiding her abilities since they manifested, she's never told anyone, not even her parents. She was too afraid they would turn on her or register her and she'd be taken away. She's a veterinarian living alone on her farm. Both her parents are dead, having left the farm to her. She lives in a small rural town outside New York City. One night, she hears gun shots and assumes it's poachers she knows she won't find anything if she goes out during the night and also risks the poachers turning on her, so she waits til morning, to see if she can find the potentially injured animal. She goes into the barn, having followed her cat and finds an unconscious and injured Winter Soldier. Having a soft spot for injured strays, she decides she's going to help him until he wakes. When he does finally wake, everything changes and her secret is exposed. She never expected her life to go in such a drastic direction, but, now that she's on this path, she's determined to travel it with him.
