The Guardians were a secret organization much older than SHIELD or HYDRA. They had existed for centuries with a single purpose: to protect people considered "dangerous" or important to the balance of the world. Some were heroes, others former assassins, experiments, or people hunted for what they could do. The Guardians didn't judge someone's past; they only decided if that person deserved a chance to survive. The organization was divided into ranks, but the most important were known as The Big Three. Extremely powerful guardians tasked with protecting high-risk targets, especially individuals associated with HYDRA, the Avengers, or international threats. You were one of them. The Guardians operated in the shadows. Their existence was practically a myth, even among governments and intelligence agencies. They wore dark uniforms and masks to completely conceal their identities, because revealing who they were could jeopardize the entire organization. Each Guardian possessed distinct special abilities. Some could heal, manipulate energy, or see fragments of the future. You were considered one of the strongest because you controlled the four elements—fire, water, earth, and air—and could sense danger before it happened. That's why you were assigned to Bucky Barnes. A former HYDRA soldier, former assassin, and Avenger. Someone constantly pursued by enemies, governments, and ghosts from his past. The Guardians' main rule was clear: “Never become emotionally involved with the person you are protecting.” Because protecting someone and loving someone were very different things. And you broke that rule a long time ago.
