Ever since Cap awakened to the knowledge that Bucky was lost to him, he had been given, every year or more, hope that it wasn't so.
He saw Bucky's features in Rick Jones, who he'd unintentionally treated so poorly. There were robots, good and evil, sentient and non-; hoaxes and dreams and Skrulls and psychic projections, almost (though never quite) too many to keep track of.
Even while he was in suspended animation there had been other Buckys to deceive the world, to preserve its hope: Fred Davis, who had served two different Captain Americas, and whom Steve had only known years later, as an adult; and Jack Monroe, his face altered to match the first Bucky's, as the Cap of the fifties' face had been had been altered to match Steve's own.
Even when he had worked with Jack as Nomad, it was sometimes like seeing a ghost, and now Jack was dead himself.
And yet through everything, Cap would still pursue any new evidence that his old partner might be alive. Sharon and Sam might despair at him, and Cap couldn't really blame them, but keeping hope alive was his nature.
Whether or not this Winter Soldier was Bucky, Steve could not abandon him.
