TEHERAN ▬ the first time Clint Barton heard about the Winter Soldier, was when he had gotten a mission to blow up a base full of A.I.M. agents. However, it turned out to be civilians inside, and when he realized his mistake, it was too late, because he wouldn’t be able to diffuse the bomb he had just set up, in time. The Winter Soldier had been there, but SHIELD had brushed it off. Because the Winter Soldier was just a myth, he didn’t actually exist.
