Chapter Text
“Thank you” You hear Zemo say still holding you, you however were looking directly at Bucky.
Bucky sets the man free, and a flash of regret passed through his face, you wanted to tell him that it was ok, that he did what he had to do, but you afraid that would scare him.
“You good?” Sam asked him quietly and worried.
Bucky simply gave him a short nod, and you were started to be guided by the Baron’s hand, the place was dark, and almost labyrinthic, you passed by boxes, that you assumed that didn’t had anything legal on the inside, you kept walking trying to ignore the guns, drugs and loads of money all over the place, and brought your arm to the Baron trying to feel more comfort.
Then you entered a room a slightly brighter and saw a woman, which you assumed to be Selby, siting on an expensive chair, she was indeed a stylish woman, and older than you thought. Zemo then took place on a chair in front of her, while the other two place themselves on each side, the Baron looked at you and you could read his thoughts, he planned on placing you on his lap and you simply projected to his head.
“Don’t.”
And he didn’t, letting you stood beside him.
“You should know Baron. People don’t just come into my bar and make demands.” Selby said bitterly.
“Not a demand. An offer.” He addressed.
“A lot has changed since you were here last. By the way, I thought you were rotting away in a German prison. How did you escape?” Selby seem sincerely curious.
“People like us always find a way, don’t we?” The Baron smirked. “I’m sure you’ve already figured out what I’m here for.”
“You’re taller than I’d heard, Smiling Tiger.” Selby teased while pointing to Sam.
Sam simply replied with a nod, trying his hard not to speak and keep in character so no one would get suspicious.
Selby purred at him, jokingly, but clearly making him uncomfortable. You didn’t like how he felt so you projected in his head.
“Keep calm. She’s just trying to mess with you, we can do this.”
He gave you a quick reassuring look, and you felt his change of feelings.
“What’s the offer?” Selby questioned, this time directing her attention at Zemo.
“Tell us what you know about the super-soldier serum. And I give you him along with the code words to control him, of course. He will do anything you want.” Zemo assured her, talking while getting up and touching Bucky’s face, like he was some kind of puppet.
“Now that’s the Zemo I remember. I’m glad I decided not to kill you immediately. Yeah, you were right to come to me. Arrogant, but right” The woman said and you could feel a cold happiness coming from her.
Zemo sat down again on the chair, but this time brought you to his lap and made you sit down, and obviously you couldn’t protest, because you knew that if you did you would get everybody killed.
“The super-soldier serum is here in Madripoor. Dr. Wilfred Nagel is the man you wanna thank. Or…” She started, but stop for a little, looking like she was thinking, util she continued. “Condemn, depending on what side of this you’re on. The Power Broker had him working on the serum, but…things didn’t go as planned.” Selby knew which side Zemo was on, everybody knew.
“Is Nagel still in Madripoor?” Zemo asked while giving a light squeeze on your leg, and you felt that he was unsure about asking this but he didn’t give it away on his face expression.
“Oh. The bread crumbs you can have for free, but the bakery is gonna cost you, Baron. And before you get all cute, don’t think you can find Nagel without me” The woman said with bitterness in her tone.
Then a cell phone starts vibrating and Sam got it out of his pocket to see who was calling him, and you wanted to course him for bringing the than thing with him.
“Answer it. On speaker.” Selby demanded.
He looked unsure on doing it but men with gun approaches him so he answered it.
“Hello?” Sam said trying to sound confident.
“Hey, um, we need to talk about this situation. It’s been drivin’ me nuts” You hear Sarah, his sister, on the other side, you never met her but you recognized her voice.
“What situation exactly are you talkin’ about?”
“Are you high? You know what situation, it’s the only situation me and you have.” She kept going.
“What situation, Sarah? Say it!” Sam said on a harsh high tone and you immediately knew she didn’t like the way he spoke towards her.
“The damn boat. And watch your tone. Okay? I let you slide at the bank.”
“The bank. Yeah. Laundered so much…Yeah, they’ll come around.” Sam said and you felt the urge to slap him for saying that, if they weren’t suspecting you, now they for sure were.
“If that was the case then why’d they dog you out, big time?”
“Yeah, you damn right I’m Big Time. You’ll see when I have that banker killed.” Sam kept going with those dumb arguments.
“Cass! What’d I tell you about the Cheerios? I don’t have time for this! Sam, I’m sorry. I’ll call you back.” Sarah finished.
When she hung up, you automatically knew you were screwed.
“Sam? Who’s Sam? Kill them!” Selby demanded to her men.
Then a gunshot went through Selby and she fell dead on the ground. Her men tried to kill the rest, Bucky and Sam fought her men disarming them, Zemo disarmed a man and knocked him out but another came from behind him, so you quickly used your powers.
“Sleep.” Was the only thing you said and the man fell instantly asleep on the ground, the Baron gave you a smile but you didn’t return it.
“They’re gonna pin this on us” Sam informed starting to panic a bit.
“We have a real problem now, so leave you weapons and follow my lead.” Zemo said and the other two left the guns on the floor.
Then you headed to the street and everyone’s phones started buzzing probably informing that Selby was killed and they wanted her allegedly killer dead as well. Then everyone on the street started chatting indistinctively, you passed a showcase with girl who pointed her hand at you like shooting. You catch up to the Baron who instantly pulled you closer.
“This is not good” You heard him say.
Then gunshots were fired towards you.
“Shit!” Sam screamed while starting running.
Zemo ends up running a different way with you, you lose sight on Sam and Bucky, still having your waist hold by the Baron. Fortunately, you were able to run with him to a dead-end street until you can’t hear anymore gunshots, you were on a dark alley with no way out when you hear a gunshot coming from behind you and hear Zemo scream in pain, letting go of your waist and falling to the ground while holding his own arm. You turn and see three men approaching you with guns on their hands, but before they can shoot again you use your powers and they fall immediately on the ground asleep.
You run towards Zemo and noticed that the bullet just scraped his arm but it was still bleeding.
“I need you to take the jacket off and pull you sleeve up so I can heal you.” You used the most serious tone whispering it.
You could sense that he was about to joke but he thought twice before doing so and took his jacket off and pull the sleeve up just like you demanded.
“This is going to sting a little, but you’ll be fine ok?” You informed him, and he looked at you directly in you eyes, nodding.
You putted you hand above the wound and he made a painful noise, so you projected on his head.
“I’m here ok? You’ll be fine, this is nothing”
After it, his skin seemed like nothing had happen, he felt a relief when it stopped, getting up and pulling you up with him.
“Let’s find the others.” The baron said, without even saying thank you and start walking past the men asleep on the ground.
You followed him until you managed to see the other two, just when Zemo pulled a gun you didn’t know he had and kills a man, and after that an anonymous individual kills other two who were trying to get you.
“You seem to have a guardian angel” Zemo speaks towards Sam and Bucky.
“Well, this is too perfect. Drop it, Zemo.” You hear a woman’s voice coming from the shadows while she walks towards the group.
“Sharon?”
