Not         even                      the               people                     involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.

Not        even                      the              people                  involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.

Not        even                     the              people                  involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.

Not        even                    the              people                  involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.

But     Bucky      has        been                cursed     by                  Hydra,             and           there's              no                            guarantee        he'll    ever     be             the      same           even                         after         the                curses      have                 been                 removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and Tony Stark is messing with something he really shouldn't.

One         that           will               either            work           out,           or          be         an                                absolute                    disaster.

Not        even                  the            people                  involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.

And  a                      prophecy     by             the                UnEarthly              Child          is        about    to        come          to               pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve                                            Rogers  is               settling           into      his         new          job   as               Knights'                               Commander   of                             Triskelia,     and    his                life           would         only   get                    better           if   his             best                       friend,               Bucky,    were       able  to       join                 him          in      it.                          But     Bucky     has        been               cursed    by                  Hydra,            and           there's            no                           guarantee        he'll    ever    be            the      same          even                         after       the                curses     have                 been               removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and Tony Stark is messing with something he really shouldn't.

One      that           will               either            work          out,         or          be         an                               absolute                  disaster.   No       one      is          quite               sure         which     it             will     be.                   Not        even                  the           people                involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.

A     new                    magical              threat         in          the        form     of            powerful              Artifacts            may   be   on                   the                       horizon.

But       then    he        sees          a              face        from a            past         he           would        just          rather                     forget.           And  a                    prophecy     by            the                UnEarthly            Child          is       about    to        come          to             pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve                                          Rogers  is              settling          into      his         new         job  as              Knights'                              Commander   of                           Triskelia,     and    his               life          would        only   get                   better           if  his             best                      friend,              Bucky,   were       able  to      join                him          in      it.                        But     Bucky     has       been              cursed    by                 Hydra,           and           there's           no                          guarantee       he'll    ever    be           the      same         even                        after      the                curses    have                been              removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and Tony Stark is messing with something he really shouldn't.

One      that        will               either            work          out,        or        be         an                               absolute               disaster.

Not      even                 the           people               involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.

But       then    he        sees         a              face        from a            past         he          would        just          rather                     forget.          And  a                    prophecy     by            the               UnEarthly            Child          is       about    to        come         to             pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve                                         Rogers  is              settling          into      his        new         job  as              Knights'                             Commander   of                           Triskelia,     and    his              life          would        only   get                   better          if  his             best                      friend,             Bucky,   were       able  to      join                him          in     it.                        But     Bucky     has       been             cursed    by                 Hydra,           and           there's          no                          guarantee       he'll    ever    be          the      same         even                        after     the                curses    have                been             removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and Tony Stark is messing with something he really shouldn't.  So what else is new?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baron                                                                               Nick      Fury     has  a        plan.       One      that       will               either            work          out,        or       be         an                               absolute              disaster.   No       one      is          quite              sure      which     it             will     be.                   Not      even                the           people               involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Events are moving to their inevitable conclusion.  Or are they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://milady-dragon.dreamwidth.org/315349.html#cutid1"&gt;Chapter Seventy-Three&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=milady_dragon&amp;ditemid=315349" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
