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. "Barnes expression had turned soft, wistful. There was a vulnerability that hadn't been there just minutes before, and it only highlighted how much of a mask he'd still been wearing. He said, “You have to come back.” She shrugged and, repeating the words he'd used earlier, said, “Didn't know you cared.” They felt fake, coming out of her mouth this way. She'd known. She'd always known. Even when back when they were what they were, before."

- “Always Have.” "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. "No bodies."

- Then, so he wouldn't think she had gone completely soft, she added, “I left them in their underwear soaking wet and handcuffed to a balcony.” It was hard to tell over the engine noise, but she was pretty sure Barnes snickered all the way to the airport. "As the weight of unacknowledged worry lifted from her shoulders, she felt just a hint of pride: That's my Barnes."

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