"You must have really looked up to Steve, but I realized something when I met him, the danger with people like him, America's Super Soldiers is that we put them on pedestals." "Watch your step Zemo." Sam growled at him "They become symbols, icons and then we start to forget about their flaws from there cities fly, innocent people die, movements are formed wars are fought you two remember that right? as a young soldier sent to Germany to stop a mad icon and his assistant with incredible power, do we want to live in a world full of people like Red Skull? no, that is why are are going to Madripoor." Zemo explained having Hana stare at him "What's up with Madripoor, you talk about it like it's Skull Island." Sam asked looking at the three "It's an island nation in the Indonesian archipelago" Bucky started then looked down at Hana "It was a pirate sanctuary back in the 1800s." She spoke shifting in the floor to get comfy "It's kept it's lawless ways but we cannot exactly walk in as ourselves, James, Hana, you will have to become someone you claim is gone." Zemo explained Hana and Bucky looked at each other and she sighed while his jaw clenched and he felt his stomach turn, Hanas hand went to her left eye and she placed her fingers on it "Whoa whoa what are you doing?" Sam asked.
      Hana pulled her natural color eye contact out of her eye exposing her real eye, it was grey had a dark grey pupil but the cornea was light grey. "Has it always been like that? can you see?" Sam asked slightly worried "It has, and I can see, I gained back before I went into cryo for forever, I was training and a dude threw a knife near me slicing my eye open, vision is lightly blurred but, they need to believe Buck and I are still the same." Hana explained looking up at Zemo who was watching her.

   The four walked side by side in new clothing Sam had on a red suit detailed in yellow and black, Zemo had on his iconic fur coat, Bucky wore his Winter Soldier gear and Hana wore her old Deepankara suit as well. "I forgot how tight this was." Hana spoke adjusting her thigh holster and her chest straps "We have to fix this, I'm the only one who looks like a pimp only an American would assume a fashion-forward Back man looks like a pimp, you look exactly like the man you're supposed to be playing." Zemo explained grabbing his phone "The sophisticated, charming African American names Conrad Mack, aka the Smiling Tiger." "He even has a bad nickname, hell he does look like me though." Sam smiled a little handing him his phone Hana looked up at Bucky and he looked back at her "You look good though." He said looking down at her "Thanks you too." She winked at him and he smirked.
"You smell this?" Zemo asked "Yeah what is that acid?" Sam asked the four watched as a limo pulled up "Madripoor, no matter what happens we have to stay in character our lives depend on it, there's not margin for error, High Towns that way, not a bad place if you wanna visit, but Low Towns the other way." Zemo explained Bucky helped Hana get into the back and he sat next to her "let me guess we don't have any friends in High Town?" Sam asked Zemo kept quiet and got in. It started to rain and six motorcycles came up around the car guiding it to here they needed to go Bucky had his hand interlocked with Hana's, she could sense he was nervous but she didn't point it out. They drove though a tunnel and as they did Hana ran her fingers through her hair and slick it back having a couple of baby hairs fall down and watched as the motorcycles exited through the openings on the side.
The car stopped and the four stepped out Bucky helping Hana out "This place is killer." Hana spoke as they walked a cat walk above people, the places was full of sports cars exotic people and parties, blue and purple lights shone down making everything look like a huge club, Hana walked in front of Bucky so he would watch her closely the music was loud and Hana was keeping composed and focused on this as best she could she slipped her throwing knives out of her pocket and was flicking them around on her fingers watching people walk by, the place was crowded with rich people and so many smells hit Hana at once, Bucky placed his hand on her back as they walked down the steps Hana had caught a couple of females watching Bucky and she felt anger ping her heart but she shoved it off. People with huge Aks and weapons watched the group walk into a bar, "Here we are." Zemo spoke to the group.
Bodies of all types filled the place making Bucky eye Hana to make sure she was ok "готов подчиниться"Zemo spoke to a man earning Hana's attention "зимний солдат и дипанакра?" A man asked earning a nod from Zemo Bucky could hear people whisper of him and Hana he clenched his jaw as they approached they bar top, the bartender walked over and smiled "Hello gentlemen and young lady, wasn't expecting you, Smiling Tiger." "His plans changed, we have business to do with Selby." Zemo spoke and everyone who heard looked at the group "The usual?" The bartender asked Sam and he nodded Bucky was leaning on the bar-counter having his metal arm around Hanas waist and gazed around watching seeing people look at her.
Bucky gripped her side harder "Easy there big guy." She whispered looking over at the bartender holding a snake "Smiling Tiger your favorite." Zemo spoke earning a look from Hana.
"I love these." Sam spoke giving Zemo a disgusted look "Cheers Conrad." Zemo spoke clinking his glass with Sam, it took Sam a second to build up the courage to drink it but he did and he looked like he was gonna throw up. A man soon walked over gaining the group's attention "I got words from up high you aint welcome here." The mad spat close to his face "I have no business with the Power Broker, but if he insist, he can either come and talk to me or." Zemo motioned towards Hana and Bucky "New hair cut?" The guy asked and Hana stared at him  "Or bring Selby for a chat." Zemo threatened and the man walked off "A Power Broker? really?" Bucky asked Zemo who faced the two now "Every kingdom needs its king, let's just pray we stay under his radar." Zemo spoke softly "Do you know him?" Sam walked turning around and leaning on the bar "Only by reputation, in Madripoor he is judge, jury and executioner." Zemo spooked seeing the man come back he turned around and looked at the couple "зимний солдат и дипанакра." Zemo spoke making Hana stand up straight "атака."
       The man placed his hand on Zemos shoulder as soon as he did Bucky's hand flew to the mans hand and he twisted it backing the man up Hana grabbed her throwing knives and the crowed watched as Bucky attacked the man slamming him to the floor a man came after Hana and she jump around him lunging at him she kicked him over in the chest hearing it pop and he fell to the floor, Hana jumped up and watched Bucky fight off more men soon the whole bar went crazy and Zemo threw a man to Bucky and he kicked him towards Hana who threw the knife and it went straight into his shoulder making him fall instantly. "Didn't take much for them to fall back into form." Zemo spoke to Sam, Sam had never seen Hana fight like this he had pure concern on his face for his friends.        
    Bucky grabbed a man by his neck and slammed him on the counter soon every gun cocked in the room earning everyone's attention Sam grabbed Bucky's arm but Zemo looked at him "Stay in character or the whole bar turns on us." Zemo motioned to Hana, she stood in the center "молодцы солдаты." Zemo praised the couple. "Selby will see you know." The bartender spoke "Thank you." Zemo spoke as Bucky released the man making him fall to the ground "You two good?" Sam asked looking at the couple Bucky exhaled and walked off while Hana stood there she glared at Sam and slipped her knives back into her thigh holster.
     The four walked down a hall seeing many illegal guns and drugs, Hana walked with weak power in front of Bucky, he was feeling quilt but concern for his wife, they walked in a room seeing a lady with short white hair and many rings "You should know Baron people don't just come to my bar and make demands." She spoke sitting on the snake skin couch "Not a demand, an offer." Zemo spoke "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 asked looking at him "People like us always find a way, don't we? I'm sure you've already figured out what I'm here for." Zemo explained Hana stood close to Bucky staring at Selby, without looking at Sam she points at him and spoke "You're taller then I'd heard Smiling Tiger." Sam nodded and she purred at him like a cat.
       "What's the offer?" Selby asked "Tell us what you know about the Super-Soldier serum, and I give you these two, along with the code words to control him of course and all this little doll needs is a little push." Zemo stood next to Hana running his hand up her neck Bucky's heart sank at another man touching her, he walked over to Bucky and Zemo ran his fingers across his chin.
     "Now that's the Zemo I remember." Selby smirked looking at the pair.
