The Siren (Bucky Barnes x OC)

Part 11 - A Song of Time

A/N: From this part onwards I will be loosely following the storyline of TFATWS. If things deviate from it or are not quite the same that because I'm writing Maya into it and also not wanting to just recite the TV show line for line, scene for scene. Don't forget to let me know you are enjoying the story by voting and commenting xxx :)

"Why are we on the tarmac?" Bucky asked, looking at Zemo as they made their way past several planes. 

"Well, we have to get to Madripoor somehow, don't we?" Zemo responded in his Sokovian accent. 

"We are not stealing a plane," Sam butted in, running slightly to catch up with Zemo and Bucky's fast walking pace. 

"You forget," Zemo said snidely, "I am a Baron." The three of them approached a private jet with an elderly man standing in front of its entrance. "Oeznik," Zemo greeted him. "It's good to see you again, my friend."

"Good to have you back," Oeznik responded in a matching accent. "I see we are still waiting for one more."

"Shouldn't be too much longer," Zemo explained as he walked up the stairs and into the plane, Bucky and Sam following close behind. 

"One more?" Sam looked quizzically at Zemo.

"Yes, my niece. I promised her I'd let her know as soon as I was out of prison. Plus, she has the connections we need in Madripoor."

"So," Sam paused. "We're using her."

"Essentially, just don't let her know that. Family means everything to her," Zemo stated taking a seat.

"And it doesn't to you?"

"It use to, until they were murdered by Ultron, or mutilated by HYDRA."

At these words Bucky's mind brought up the memory of the note Maya had left beside his bed about a year ago. I'm sorry, but this is one of the few opportunities I have to get away and find my Uncle. He's the only family I have left, and I need a fresh start. I hope you can forgive me. Maya. It had been scribbled down hastily, evident by the messy handwriting and brief message. It made him realise that the kiss had been a goodbye, and maybe a thankyou, maybe. 

"What's your niece's name?" Bucky curiously questioned.

Sam chuckled. "What you gonna flirt with his niece? Hate to brake it to you but if she's related to him then-" He was cut off by the sound of heels clinking up the stairs. 

"Then what?" an Australian accent demanded as black knee high boots came into view framed by a matching black trench coat. 

"Maya!" Both Sam and Bucky stood in shock at the site of her.

"Oh please, I'm honoured, but no need to stand on my account," she drawled, gracefully plonking herself down into the chair opposite Zemo with a flick of her hair. "Uncle," she said in greeting. "Where to?" 

"Madripoor," Zemo answered.

"This will be fun!" she smiled menacingly. 

Bucky and Sam had sat back down. They were now exchanging worried glances between themselves. As the plane took off, Sam whispered to Bucky, "I didn't know her well, but this doesn't seem like the girl I met."

"That's because she isn't a girl anymore, Wilson." At the surprised look on Sam's face, Maya further explained, "Super hearing." She pointed towards her ears. 

Bucky remained silent for the remainder of the flight, trying to piece together everything he was seeing. Zemo's niece was Maya. How the hell did that work? He wasn't surprised she kept that information to herself, but how did they not find it when doing a background search? Banner never told them the results though, they never found any more information on her then what they saw that first day in the meeting room. Bucky examined Maya, trying to find any remanence of the women he kissed.
