Black Widow: Bad Blood
(NOTE: Black Widow: Bad Blood is an official Marvel audiobook). "Her lips started to form his name, but she caught a glimpse of his face. His eyes were cold. His body language- the relentless prowl that she still remembered in her worst moments. Barnes was gone... in his place, was the Winter Soldier. Merciless, unstoppable.. her deepest fear come to life."

- Natasha's thoughts about the Winter Soldier. "She remembered his last words to her before she left for VECTOR: “You deserve better than a damaged monster.” Barnes carried as many regrets as she did, possibly more. But he had never been a monster."

- Natasha's thoughts about Bucky Barnes. "Cecile looked unconvinced. "What kind of friend?" Barnes seemed as curious to hear the answer as Cecile was. What kind of friend was he?" "A small curtained cubicle took up the back corner of the shop, and Romanoff slipped inside to change. She came out to check the fit in the work shop's full-length mirror, but Barnes' expression gave her a pretty good idea of the effect." "I can still appreciate good advice."

- Bucky to Natasha. "Barnes offered Romanoff an arm as they left the shop."
