We're more alike than you think

25. Fly

The boys went towards the container but you stopped Zemo before he could enter it. "You are not allowed to have a gun" you said with a playful tone. Your hand went on the inside of his coat on his back where he had hidden it. After you had been connected to the magnetic field just hours ago you could feel the metal all around you, including the little gun he had tried to hide. You looked up at Zemo while taking out the bullets with a smile before you threw the gun away.

"I seemed to ask about the wrong man earlier," Zemo said and tilted his head.

You knew better than to answer his questions at this point, so you left it in the air. It wasn't like you could've given him a good answer either. Bucky and you literally just fell asleep together, it wasn't that big of a deal, even Sam understood that. You took one hand on his chest and pushed him back before you opened the container door for him. The boys seemed confused about the door.

"Are we sure it's here?" Sam asked.

"It is, I can feel it" you whispered under your breath.

Bucky got what you said and before you could even have a look around Zemo had already figured out the 'secret' door. Sam led the way following up with Zemo, you and Bucky. The guy had music playing in the background while working. Sam carefully took off the music and Nagel immediately reacted badly to Sam. He didn't wanna talk or that was until he caught a glimpse of Bucky. Sam pushed Nagel down on a chair "That's what I thought, you know him, and I guess you have heard of Baron Zemo. The woman behind him is Y/n, nice to meet you" Sam said with a little smile on his lips. Sharon informed us on the earpiece that people were coming, but Bucky signaled you to stay. Finally Nagel started to talk.

Your eyes were on Zemo the whole time who was walking through the lab. You knew he didn't just walk around for fun, he was after something. You slowly walked over to him so the two of you stood side by side. "Are you gonna tell me what you're doing?" you whispered and looked up at him "Oh nothing, just looking" he whispered back with an innocent smile on his lips. You laughed low. "Do you really think that gonna work on me now?" you said as Zemo turned so he was facing you. The things you were willing to do for a chance to read this man's thoughts was wild. Sadly, you weren't Charles or Wanda, but you had accepted that. You could feel the vibrations from the fighting outside.

"Guys, we need to pick this up." You said loudly looking over at the guys. Something felt wrong, but you couldn't put your finger on what it was. You moved away from Zemo and towards Nagel and the boys "It's way too many people outside for Sharon to hold back on her own, we need to go, take him with you if that's what we have to do!" you said and lost your patience with Nagel. You tighten your grip on the batons. Bucky seemed doubtful, but Sam already got Nagel to raise up. Sharon came running in begging us to go. Zemo got his hands on a hidden gun, and you felt it the second the shot was fired. You took your hands out, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

"What the hell are you doing?" Sam yelled at Zemo while holding Nagel.

Before anyone else could do anything you hit Zemo in with the baton. He really thought he could do his own side mission here with us? Cutting down every connection to the Super Soldier serum? Your blood was boiling. Zemo was your responsibility and he just shot your only lead. "Stop it y/n! hear me out!" he screamed and tried to walk away from you. "It's nothing to hear, you just shut the man down!" you yelled back at him. The second you were about to hit him with vibrations from the batons, he took them on the other side of the handle and threw you down and jumped over you as an explosion hit the container.

You could feel the warmth from the fire and the dust filling up your lungs. You should've felt it, you should've felt it before the explosion, but you didn't. You didn't have control of your own powers. Everything got grey as your body froze. This was your fault, how could you have your abilities and not even be able to wield it, not even protect yourself and the people around you. Zemo stood up. "We need to get out!" he yelled and waited for you to get up, but you couldn't move. He immediately got down on his knees beside you and lifted your head up on his lap. He brushed his fingers on your chin and leaned his forehead against yours.

"Little bird, I need you to wake up and fly right now"
