You woke up an hour later, but it felt like a whole night. Guess that's how it feels when you never sleep. You started out the window and looked at how we flew by the skies. You always enjoyed flying when you were younger, and not in a plane like this, you liked to fly by using your powers. You smiled weakly by the thought before somebody talking Sokovian disturbed you.
"Good morning, little bird" Zemo said gently looking down at you. You quickly turned around and faced him noticing how close the two of you were. He had put your legs on his lap and was reading a book. You were almost a bit ashamed that you didn't notice him while you were asleep. You immediately put your legs down and straighten up. He started to chuckle at your reaction."You are not allowed to be this close to me" you continued in Sokovian so the boys wouldn't understand. Your voice was tired from waking up. You didn't know this man and it stressed you out how intense he was, Zemo clearly wasn't the guy to give up "And you really need to stop calling me that" you hinted at the 'little bird' nickname he had given you.
"Well, you haven't given me your name"
"And neither will I" you continued. It wasn't that 'little bird' was such a bad nickname, or that you bothered that he knew your name, but rather that you didn't want him to talk to you."You realise, at some point either Sam or James will say your name?" he said and looked over to the guys who were both asleep now. You laughed a little and crossed your arms. "Yes, but they often forget I exist, so it will take awhile." you said in enjoyment, even Zemo seems to find that funny as he let out a little laugh.
"So why have I never heard about you before? people like you never stay hidden without a good reason." he said fishing for more information. He should've known by now that you weren't the type to either show off or tell, but knowing Zemo's history you bet he was doing it more for the thrill than to get actual answers. He wanted your reaction. Zemo was manipulative, and you knew that. "Then, I'm glad you don't know people like me." you said as you tilted your head looking out the mirror. "C'mon little bird, i'm just trying to have a conversation." Zemo said, but you didn't give in.
"By the conversation at the prison, it sounded like you and Stark were close?"
You immediately look at him. You didn't like the sound of Zemo saying his name, not at all.
"Let me guess he was the one who found you? Picked you up? Made you who you are today? He has a good eye for finding new recruits like you.. and that Spiderman.. must be hard now that he is gon.."
You didn't let him finish before you took up your arm and activated the one of the Batons that was in the cabinet which came flying into your hand. You pressed it up against Zemos throat, staring him in the eyes, looking at how vulnerable this human being really was.
"You are not allowed to say his name." you said in english and pushed the sentence out word by word, leaving space in between. He gave you a small nod "Relax, I just wanted to see what's your thing" he said and you let go of him. You sat down, still holding into the baton just incase he ended up saying more stupid shit. Your eyes was staring at the seats in front of you as you were tightening the grip on the baton. "You don't wanna know" you said with a low.
"Oh, I promise you, I do"
"Zemo, please go back and read that stupid book with the boys." you said the second he finished his sentence. He tilted his head and looked at you with a little smile. "No, I rather stay here with you." he said to your annoyance.
"And if I stay, I will not make you pay for destroying the cabinet." he whispered.
