Arabella’s steps were full of power, and everyone could notice. She as far as she knew as long as she kept the confident act, she will see aq tomorrow. As they continued to walk through the crowd, many whispers could be heard, coming from the noisy crowd. As soon as they approach the bar, Zemo signals that the show is starting.
"Hello, gentleman, ma'am. Wasn't expecting you, Smiling Tiger." The man greeted them, Arabella made sure to be a bit distant from Bucky, as they needed him to be all emotionless. And According to Zemo and Sam, she was a distraction for Bucky. Bucky denied it, not wanting for her to be away from him in a place full of thirsty men.
"His plans changed. We have business to do with Selby." Zemo said as calmly as possible.
"The usual?" The barman asked Sam, Sam nodded not wanting to break character. Arabella noticed the Barman take out a snake out from a jar, and the barman then started to cut the snake open.
"Ah, Smiling Tiger, your favorite." the Barman said
Arabella suddenly felt a hand squeeze her ass. Arabella’s jaw clenched in anger, and you could notice that Bucky's jaws also clenched. Bucky almost broke out of character, if it wasn’t for Arabella twirling to look at the disgusting man with her hand that grabbed his wrist. On her other hand she had a gun pointed in his region. The man looked at her in shock, seeing the fire igniting in her eyes.
“I suggest you to walk away right now, if you don’t want me to blow those away And let me tell you something,” Arabella than glanced down for a few seconds before looking up and tilting her head to side making eye contact with the now trembling man, “It won’t be much of a waste.”
The man nodded in defeat, Arabella let him go and watched how he quietly ran away. When she turned around back to her three companies she could notice the respect and impressed looks coming from them, in Bucky’s she could notice a mixture of many different emotions that she couldn’t identify all of them at the same time. Before anyone could say anything to her, a man approached Zemo.
"I got word from on high, you ain't welcome here."
"I have no business with the Power Broker, but if he insists, he can come and talk to me." Zemo turned to look at Bucky "Or bring Selby for a chat."
"A Power Broker? Really?" Bucky asked in disbelief, Arabella had to hold back a laugh,
"Every kingdom needs its king." Zemo replied "Let's just pray we stay under his radar."
"Do you know him?" Sam questioned him
"Only by reputation. In Madripoor he is judge, jury, and executioner."
Zemo than started to speak another language that seemed to be Russian with another man. Zemo turned to look at Bucky, whose eyes traveled to Arabella’s confused ones. That is when hell broke loose. Bucky started to fight off anyone that came to attack him. Arabella was standing there in shock and terror, she was not scared of him, she was scared on what they did to him to be this way once upon a time.
