Battles (Sam Wilson x reader)

Smiling Tiger

"Woah woah woah" Sam said.

"Isn't there someone else I could pretend to be?" I asked.

"Nope sorry" Zemo said and he kept walking.

"Fuck you Helmut Zemo" I muttered to myself.

"Now we must play our roles well no screw ups ok" Zemo said.

"And you two" He looked over to Sam and I, " Try not to get too handsy" He smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him, while Zemo snickered. A car pulled up it was a large black SUV. Bucky, Sam and I having to climb in the back. Me in the middle being squished by the two men.

"Try keep your hands to yourself Wilson" Bucky threatened certainly playing the overprotective brother act.

"Understood" Sam replied.

We drove through a tunnel a motor bike gang surrounding the SUV as we drove along which heightened my nerves.

The bike gang cleared and we drove a little while longer before the car pulled over and we piled out. We walked along towards a bustling street. Sam wrapped his hand around my waist keeping me close as we made our way through the streets.

I gave him an awkward smile. It's all part of the act Y/n that's all.

We approached a bar and the bartender immediately recognized Zemo. His face lit up and a smile spread across his.

"Ah Baron Zemo" He greeted.

"Hello I was wondering if I could see Shelby?" Zemo asked.

"I don't think she wants to see you Baron" He said.

"I have something she might like" Zemo replied looking over at Bucky.

The bartender shook his head and continued cleaning the glass in his hand.

"Ah Smiling Tiger you're here too which you like the usual?" The bartender asked.

Sam nodded and stepped closer to the bar, his grip still tightly around my waist.

"You're usual coming right up" He smiled reaching beneath the counter.

The bartender pulled out a dead snake and dropped it loudly on the bench. Sam's eyes widened his shock.

"You're usual is pretty interesting tiger" I whispered.

"Well it's my favorite" He said through gritted teeth.

The bartender grabbed a knife and slid the blade down the snake's stoumach gutting the reptile. The bartender grabbed a parr of the snake placing it in the glass filling it up with liquor before handing it to Sam.

"Mm my favorite" I said, his face scrunched up in disgust.

I lifted up my hand placing it flat over his chest giving it a light tap. He grimaced before swallowing the drink a look of pure disgust on his face.

"Make sure to swallow" I smirked.

He did and stuck his thumb up to the bartender. I gave him a light kiss on the cheek. To make it believable of course.

"I uh Still my favorite drink babe" He said to me his face slightly embarrassed.

I could see Bucky out the corner of my eye glaring at the two of us. If looks could kill Sam would be dead.

"Sorry for that" I whispered quietly.

"Don't worry about it" Sam whispered back the side of his face grazing against mine.

The side of his face was smooth and warm and as he spoke his breath hit me neck and sent shivers done my spine. When he moved away I noticed his absence.

A few men walked up an approached us grabbing Zemo by the shoulder.

"Soldat" Zemo ordered.

Bucky clenched his jaw and grabbed the mans wrist behind his back. The man let out a scream as his hand snapped. Definitely broken.

More men approached angrily storming towards Bucky. He inhaled deeply and kicked one of the men in the stoumach, I could tell Bucky was in pain he hated this. Pretending to be the Winter Soldier. Digging all the memories up.

Tears started to well up in my eyes and I turned towards Sam who brought me closer to him as I buried my head into his shoulder leaning my side against him.

"I just can't watch" I muttered.

I could practically feel Bucky's pain. I knew this would break him, it broke me too. Bucky was my family my only family left and I hated seeing him struggle.

"He'll be ok" Sam whispered to me resting his head ontop of mine.

"Alright stop" The bartender shouted out.

"Shelby will see you now" another man interrupted.

I turned to look at Bucky who was pinning a man's arm behind his back. A few other men either dead or passed out laying face down on the floor surrounding him.

"Stand down Winter Soldier" Zemo commanded.

Bucky nodded and dropped the man to the ground. The man nodded his head to the side indicating to follow him.

"Follow me" He said.

Sam and I walked up to Bucky, his face emotionless.

"Are you ok?" I whispered.

"Fine" He muttered walking off to catch up with Zemo.

"He'll be alright Y/n" Sam said softly.

I nodded and followed Zemo Sam not leaving my side, every once and a while our hands brushed together. But we both ignored it.

After a few minutes of walking down the bustling streets of Madripoor we arrived at an apartment. We climbed up some stairs into an apartment Sam's hand on the small of my back.

A middle aged woman sat seated on a couch, she had pale skin and her hair was white and shaved into a buzz cut. I assume she was the infamous Shelby.

"Zemo I thought you were in prison?" Shelby asked as we entered the room.

"Well Shelby people like us have our ways" Zemo replied, accent thick.

"What is it you want?" She asked.

"I offer you a trade" Zemo said.

He walked across the room to Bucky who stood at attention his face completely emotionless.

"I'll give you the Winter Soldier and the words which control him" Zemo said.

He reached over and held his chin shaking his head likely like a dog. Bucky stayed the same, showing no sign of emotion.

"And what is it I give you?" She asked.

"Information about the serum I know you know about it" Zemo said.

"I'll tell you what I know" Shelby said.

"Deal" Zemo replied extending his hand.

"Alright well Dr Nagel has all the information about the serum not me, now give me my end of the deal" She said.

And just before the deal could be sealed, Sam's phone rang. Shit.
