A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

Play your part

  You sat in the back seat of the car next to the window with Bucky and Sam both to your right; you looked out at all of the neon lights as you entered Madripoor. After about fifteen minutes the car stopped outside of the entrance to the main part of Lowtown; Sam and Bucky both exited the car out of the other door and right as you were about to slide out that way too your door opened with a smirking Zemo standing there offering his hand. You hesitated but took it remembering that playing your part began now. Zemo helped you out of the car then slowly wrapped your arm around his back while he wrapped his around your waist. As you were now pressed against him Zemo had no trouble leaning in to whisper in your ear, "remember if anything gets to be too uncomfortable just tell me and I'll get you out." You blushed at how much he seemed to truly care for your well being in this instance and nodded at him for confirmation. All three of you walked into Madripoor with both anxiety and confidence in your steps. The bar was packed with sweaty half clothed bodies grinding against each other, it seemed as though everyone was armed and although most everyone was intoxicated they still managed to stay on guard. After what felt like wayyy too long you four finally got to the bar. Sam and Bucky stayed standing while Zemo made a point to sit on one of the stools and drag you onto his lap. The boys both glared at him with a hatred that may have broken your cover if people paid any more attention. You were stiff in his grasp,not being used to being held by anyone in this way, yet alone him! The bartender offered Sam a smiling tiger due to the namesake of the man he was playing, making sure to stay in character he agreed. "And what for you beautiful lady?" He asked you as he looked you up and down doing little in regards of trying to conceal his attraction. Zemo took his hand and gently stroked your jaw line as he tilted your head to face his so your mouths were only inches apart making sure that the whole room understood who you belonged to, and without taking his eyes or hands off of you he said, "We're here do see Selby, and She'll have a smiling tiger as well, one tequila for me please." His eyes were staring straight into yours. Your breath began to become heavy as your eyes traveled down to his lips and back up to his own eyes that were blown black with lust. You weren't meant to be feeling this way for him, he was the man that betrayed you! He was the man who almost got Bucky and Steve killed, he was the one who almost broke up the only family you had ever had. But despite that here you were sitting in his lap eyeing him up at a bar in front of your two best friends and mentors. The bartender came back with your drinks and as he set them down you saw him go back and grab a dead snake from a jar that you had previously thought was only there for decorations. You watched in horror and curiosity as the man cut open the snake and less than carefully removed its heart, dropping it into a shot glass of liquor and handing it to Sam. You chuckled at the fact that he'd have to pretend to like that the drink was enjoyable, but then quickly remembered Zemo had ordered the same drink for you. You looked at him in shock as he simply tilted his head to the side feigning innocence. Sam took his drink and hesitantly downed it, you on the other hand were having more trouble with the concept of drinking a previously living animal's heart. Knowing that this was most likely going to be the least unseltaling thing to happen tonight you looked at Zemo with a sarcastic smirk, drank his shot in front of him, and as his face registered your theft you grabbed hold of the other less appealing shot glass and downed it all while staring straight into Zemo's eyes without an ounce of discomfort remnant on your face. Sam, Zemo, and even the bartender looked at you as if they had fully expected you to chicken out. You watched Zemo's throat as he swallowed hard and felt him shift underneath you, was you drinking that disgusting drink really getting him hard? Just as you were about to order another shot you felt a forceful hand grab hold of your shoulder from behind, instinctually you grabbed for your dagger but before you even had a chance Zemo had already muttered a command to Bucky and he pounced on him with a violence you hadn't seen in years. Within a matter of seconds everyone in the bar including you were on their feet with their hands on loaded guns. Zemo gave Bucky the command to stop and he almost reluctantly unhinged his arm from around the man's throat who he had thrown onto the bar. It was hard for you to watch him revert so easily into a person who you had assumed he had gotten rid of. Without noticing it you had begun to hold onto Zemo's shirt with one hand and his bicep with the other. He gently rubbed a circle on your back in attempts to re-ground you; you looked up at him with worry in your eyes and he bent down to whisper "It's just an act Meine Liebe, he'll be fine" and with that reassurances he rubbed his thumb across your cheek bone and smoothly slid it against your lip, you smirked at him forgetting how much shit you were going to get later  from the boys for letting him take it this far. The bartender cleared his throat to get Zemo's attention saying, "Selby will see you now". Slowly Zemo guided you guys towards a back room saying that now was the time to play up to roles and to make sure that there were no slip ups. Now having some liquid courage in your system you were almost excited to face the big bad wolf, you felt ready to not only show Selby, but also Zemo how well you could play the part of Zemo's new trophy. All four of you entered the room in a way that could only be described as powerful. Bucky took his place against the wall silently and unmoving, Sam stood a few feet away from the couch Selby was sitting on, and as for Zemo... well he had taken the liberty to sit on the couch opposite of Selby with you sat across his lap. "You should know Baron people don't just get to come into my bar and make demands." She spoke in an accent you couldn't quite place, but it was smooth enough to the point where you felt as though she could've made you do almost anything. "Not a demand, an offer" was Zemo's reply. "A lot has changed since you were here last" her eyes traveled over to bucky in a hungry glance, and then to you with an even hungrier one. You flashed her a seductive smile then went on to nestle your fingers into Zemo's hair to try and get the point across that you were his. He leaned into your touch obviously enjoying the sensation, no longer having to act. Bucky's stare intensified if that was even a possibility and Sam shifted growing more and more uncomfortable with the positions that everyone was in. "I'm sure by now you've already figured out what I'm here for" He said this as his hand began to rub up and down your arm, gently stroking you as if you were a porcelain doll. She acted as though she didn't hear a word Zemo had said and simply replied with, "You're taller than I'd heard, smiling Tiger." All eyes shifted to Sam who simply nodded in agreement, not sure as to what else he was to do. Then she looked straight at you, "and you, gorgeous flower, well I haven't heard about you yet." You simply looked at her and grinned, turning a bit in Zemo's lap. "She was a guard who helped me escape in the prison" Zemo was quick on his feet, quick enough apparently to fool Selby because she dropped the topic, not even asking your name and continued with the conversation. "what's the offer?" She asked turning her attention back to Zemo. "Tell us what you know about the super-soldier serum-" he stood you up off of the couch and went to move next to bucky, "And I give you him". Your eyes went wide as Zemo began to circle Bucky like a shark. "Along with code words to control him of course, he will do anything you want." Zemo's voice was deep and ruff as he slowly stroked Bucky's face. Your courage was quickly fleeting as you saw the transaction taking place. Selby paused seemingly thinking it over. "Tempting, but what about her? She obviously knows how to fight seeing as she has a multitude of weapons strapped to that delicious leg of hers, and well no offense to your robot man over there, she's simply much more appealing to me." "She's mine Selby, she is not part of this deal" "oh Baron you're not one to get sentimental over your toys, can't you simply share this one?" The way they were talking about you as if you were an object lit some sort of fire under your ass because before you were even thinking about it, you had marched over to Zemo, grabbed him by the fur of his coat, pulled him down so his face was level with yours, and slammed your lips into his. The kiss was both rushed but extremely passionate. He was quick to reciprocate and slowly wrapped his hands around your waist holding you close by the small of your back. He pulled you further into his body making breathy sounds of pleasure into your mouth. His lips were soft and fit into yours like a missing puzzle piece. He tasted of liquor and sour apples, it was a taste you knew you would have to relish in again. For a minute, just a minute you forgot where you were, you forgot about the high stakes game of cat and mouse you were playing and simply leaned into the enigma of a man in front of you, pressing your body further into his chest as you arched your back. Not only did you forget where you were, but you forgot who you were for a minute! You forgot that this all had to be fake; it simply had to be, Zemo's least favorite thing on this planet was super soldiers and super heros, and you were both of those things even if you forgot about it sometimes. Not only that, but he was someone who you had actively worked to put in jail! He was supposed to be your enemy. Yet here you were putting on something that was a little bit more than a show at this point. Sam cleared his throat, finally taking you out of the moment. "Like the man said, I'm not part of this deal, and also I'm not an object, I'm a person and I'd like to be spoken to and about as such." You were shocked that you were able to say anything at all given how shaken up you were, but you had said it all right, and you had looked her dead in the eyes while saying it too. Selby simply smiled and chuckled under her breath, "I like her, fine I'll take your deal for the soldier. You were right to come to me, arrogant, but right. The super soldier serum is here in Madripoor. Dr.  Wilfred Nagel is the man you wanna thank. Or condemn depending on what side of this you're on" she looked at you as if she knew what you were. "Is Nagel still in Madripoor?" Zemo was really trying to get as much out of Selby as possible with this bargain. "Oh... The bread crumbs you can have for free-'' she got up from the couch she was sitting on and came to stand in front of you. "But the bakery is gonna cost you, Baron" as she said his name she came to stroke her thumb across your bottom lip, eyeing you the way a lioness eyes its prey. Just as Zemo was about to intervene a ringing sounded from Sam's pocket. All eyes landed on him and you instinctively took a few steps toward Bucky. Zemo moved in front of you as if he'd be able to stop whatever was about to happen next from ever touching you. You found it comforting, but still you knew you were stronger than almost anyone else in that room and thus if anyone was going to have to carry this fight it'd be you. Sam reluctantly answered the phone, it was his sister on the other end. You cringed at the conversation that was taking place, just waiting for Sarah to accidentally blow your cover. Sure enough she did, "Sam, I'm sorry. I'll call you back" "Sam? Who is Sam?" Selby was shocked as she registered that you had been lying to her, but as quickly as she realized what was happening a shot was fired that killed her where she stood. Quickly you pushed Zemo out of the way using your telekinesis to rip the gun out of the man's hand who was about to shoot him. You quickly moved toward the now unarmed man and made fast work of incapacitating him. Bucky, Sam, and Zemo all managed to take down the other gunmen in the room. "They're gonna pin this on us" Sam said as if that weren't obvious already. "We have a real problem now, so leave your weapons and follow my lead." Zemo explained in a tone that was far too calm for comfort, you all dropped your guns, though you made sure to keep your daggers that were still clipped to your leg. Slowly and calmly you all walked out of the bar and back onto the streets of Mandripoor as if nothing happened, but quickly the atmosphere changed. Within a matter of minutes you could hear every phone within a ten block radius ping, and as you walked passed one of the shops a girl around your age smiled at you through a window, then pointed at you and mimed shooting each of you individually. Just as your eyes broke away from her you could hear shots being fired from what seemed like pretty close behind you. All four of you began to sprint at full speed down the street. "I can't run in these heels" Sam cried from behind you, "How do you think I feel" you yelled back at him, "ok yeah that one's fare". You guys reached an ally where now people on mopeds surrounded both your front and your back ways of escape. Quickly using your powers you lifted the two men infront of you off of their bikes and into the air, and right as you were about to discard their bodies you felt a bullet skim your arm causing you to lose focus and drop both guards. You turned about to finish your job when seemingly out of nowhere two shots were fired killing both guards. You let out a breath, going to check on the boys and make sure they were ok. "We have to get out of here, now!" Bucky said. "Yeah no shit, but which one of you shot them I thought we all left our guns?" "don't look at us," Sam said. "What do you mean?" you asked, raising one of your eyebrows in suspicion. "He's right, you have me to thank for that one" all of your heads turned to a woman dressed in all black. She took off the hood she was wearing that covered her face, "you're welcome by the way". "Sharron?" Your jaw was thoroughly dropped. "Nice to see you guys again."
