Small drops of water feel from her hair as she walked out of the shower. She dressed in minimalist clothing; black skinny jeans and a tee shirt.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door and she wanted to throw a lamp at them. She groaned loudly and stomped over to the door and swung it open. "I swear to God if it's you,- oh, sorry sir." She instantly regret her decision as she saw a tall man standing there. He had short brown hair and blue eyes.

"Um hi," He started, "are you annoyed?" He asked then.

"I- uh, it's been a long day." Delia said quietly and scratched the back of her head.

"I see. Definitely a big day, you were on TV." The man said sarcastically and Delia resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Listen, I'm here for your help."

"Look, I don't want to help anyone else, I already have to do so much." Delia said.

She went to close the door but the man stopped it, "it's about Zemo." When the man said his name, her breath stopped. She opened the door again and looked at the man wide eyed. "I need your help to get him out of prison."

"How can I know for sure that you want to get him out of prison?" She asked, she felt hope to see her partner again. That's all she wanted. "How do you even know I'm his girlfriend?"

"I need to know more about the serum and where it is. And I know you because he mentioned you once before we he triggered me to become the Winter a soldier to find others like me." The man said and Delia knew who he was.

"You're James Barnes?"

"Please, just Bucky." He said. "Are you coming or not?" He asked then. Delia nodded and grabbed her trench coat. She followed him out of the apartment and into a car. "We're going back to Germany, I just need to pick someone up first.

-
The plane ride back to Germany was excruciating, seeming she was there less then twenty-four hours ago. She stretched her legs as she got out of the car and stood beside the other man whose name she learnt as Sam Wilson.

She stood beside Sam while they both waited on Bucky. "Where the hell is he?" Sam asked and paced. Delia walked around the cars that were there and before they knew it, a light flicked on and Bucky emerged from behind on of the supporting beams of the building.

Delia continued looking in between the cars as Sam and Bucky talked, Bucky saying something about him not doing anything. Delia saw a mask then, a purple one with two holes for the eyes.

"Oh mein Gott," (Oh my God) She muttered in German. She turned to see the doorway where a man began walking out and she saw Zemo walking out in a uniform. He took the hat he wore off and looked at Bucky and Sam.

Delia's heart felt as if it would leap out of her chest and she gasped then. Zemo's eyes found hers then and he smirked. "Zemo! Oh mein Gott!" She yelled and ran towards him, instantly smacking herself into his body.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and his found their way to her waist and they held each other.

"You never told me that those two were dating." She heard Sam say to Bucky. Zemo nuzzled his head in the crook of her neck and breathed in, it was something they always did together.

"Alright, enough. Zemo tell us what we want to know." Bucky said and placed his hands on his hips.

Both Delia and Zemo took a step back, she ran her hands threw his longer hair and drew a finger down his scuffy beard. "Ich habe dich so vermisst." (I missed you so much) She whispered to him and he smiled down at her.

"Yes we get it, you missed him, but seriously?" Bucky butt in again and Delia turned and glared at him.

"It's alright, little bird. Ich habe ihm etwas versprochen." (I promised him something) Zemo said quietly and moved in front of her.

Delia nodded and moved back, letting Zemo walk towards Bucky and Sam. He walked over to the cars then, as if he were looking for something. She didn't know that Zemo had these many cars, she knew he owned a shed with some cars, but she only ever thought a maximum of five, or so.

She awed at the cars, looking inside one of them and spotted a jacket. She giggled and took it out of the car and put it on. It was a long trench coat with a furry collar. She walked over to Sam and Bucky and saw Zemo looking inside one of the cars.

"Liebling, where's my-" He stopped as he turned to see Delia standing there, his jacket on. She smiled and he did too, Sam and Bucky rolling their eyes at them both. As if she knew what he was going to say, she handed him his purple mask and he thanked her gently.

Bucky clapped his hands then, clearly annoyed. "Come on, we got to go."

Delia turned to Bucky, "where are we going?" She asked. She knew she would going now, Delia had Zemo and she would follow him anywhere and everywhere.

"It's a surprise Liebling." Zemo said and grabbed her hand and they all began for the door. Delia smiled and leaned into Zemo's arm, wanting to be impossibly closer to him after so long.

He then leaned down to be level with her ear, "I know what you did." He said then, lower so only they could hear it. Delia looked up at him then with a sad expression and was about to speak, but he kept going. "Little bird, I'll make sure the whole of America know you belong to me and not him."

She gulped, clearly excited and fearful for what will happen when you both get time alone.
