After All This Damage (Finished)

Chapter 18

You headed downstairs wearing a cute black dress that was a straight across neckline. The skirt part wasn't to poofy but was a cute poof. You wore black heels and Bucky's black necklace, you wore black stud earrings to match. You left your hair down and did just a winged cat eye eyeliner. 

Bucky was already in his disguise. He had the same hair and eye color but his face profile was different, making him unrecognizable. He wore one the S.H.I.E.L.D. grade face mask. You didn't know it was him until he said "I wish it was me you were going on this date with doll."

Nat had on a blonde wig and blue contacts in. She wore a cute, red party dress. You decided to drive your own car there. And Nat and Bucky took a taxi. Tony had the jet ready blocks away if there was a need.

You arrived at the restaurant that Zemo wanted and he was waiting for you. It was a high dollar Italian restaurant. You were happy that you weren't underdressed.

His eyes lit up when he saw you. "My dear. You look absolutely breathtaking. Come, I have a special table reserved for us."

You followed him back to the back. The two of you sat in a private dining area.

The waiter opened and poured each if you a glass of wine. You hesitated taking the first sip.

"I didn't do anything to it. I want to try and rekindle this fire we used to have, not put it out darling." Zemo said noticing your hesitation. He took a sip of his and seemed fine. You took a small sip.

"Now why are you wanting to get back with me my dear, I thought you and James were a thing now?" He asked trying to start a conversation.

"Well James and I broke up. I felt it was best since I did leave him for the mission. I fell out of love you could say. Then I remembered all the love and care you gave me when I most needed it." You lied, you were very convincing when you did.

"Well I am impressed, you put up quite the show." He said standing up.

"I'm not sure I follow." You were a little scared that he discovered you cover.

"You just pulled on James' heart to hurt him for me, that is the most evil thing a woman can do, and you did it. I'm proud of you my darling." He stood up and held out his hand. "Come let us go for a walk."

You took his cold hand. He led you down a hall towards the back. When he opened the door it was a room full of computers and scientist.

"What is this Zemo?"

"This is my research facility hydra has set up. I use it to try and build weapons that I can use against the Avengers. Ones that can take out Super Soliders, not you of course. I made you. "

"Zemo i thought you were finished with the Avengers and S.H.I.E.LD."

"They hurt you my dear." He said looking at you. He put his hand on your cheek. He leaned in.

"Zemo not quite there yet remember?"

"Right sorry my dear." He seemed hurt by your rejection.

You were waiting on the Dora Milaje to get here, so you had to keep Zemo distracted long enough until then.

"So how exactly are you planning to take down super soliders?" You asked trying to get some intail.

"Well, I have developed a deserum. Which basically means that i inject them and it takes away their strength. So Steve and James, will grow old to their actual age, 108 I believe? And if you chose to take the deserum you will stay the same age as you are."

"Youre giving me a choice?" You asked surprised he even allowed you to have a choice.

"Well yes, I care for you, you may think i dont but i really do."

You felt a buzz on your wrist, signally that the Dora Milaje had arrived. "You do? Why did you kill my mom then?"

"I killed her cause she was going to kill you." He said without hesitation.

"I dont believe you."

"You dont have to, just ask your shield friends to pull up file 2319."

At that moment the door opened and the Dora Milaje walked in.

"We are here for Zemo."  It was Ayo.

Zemo didnt seem surprised when they showed up. "Don't forget what I said darling. I did it for you."

The Dora Milaje took Zemo away. Bucky and Nat walked in after they left.

"Ready to go doll?"

"Yea. Im ready."

The three of you headed to your car. You had to drive it to the Quinjet, Tony was going to fly your car back. Nat gets out and heads to the cock pit to help Tony.

Bucky turns to you. "What did Zemo say?"

"Well I asked him why he killed my mom. And he said that 'i killed her cause she was going to kill you.' And he also said I could find the file at S.H.I.E.L.D. I dont know what I might find."

"Well it could bring you closure, and I'll be there with you every step of the way." He leaned in and kissed my forehead.

"Thanks James."

"You should really stop calling me that."

"No I dont think I will...James." You laughed as he kisses your cheek then your lips.

Tony parks the Qunijet on the jet pad on top of the compound. You back your car out and drive into the garage. Bucky and you head upstairs to your room. You start getting undressed and toss the dress in the closet not caring.

Bucky watched closely. He cat whistled at the sight.

You turned around, "excuse you, I'm not a dog."

"Not that it's just those panties make your ass so sexy."

"Well I'm getting a shower if you wanted to join."

You didnt even have to ask twice he was right behind you.
