We're more alike than you think

84. The plan

"Y/n, you know he is right..." Bucky said when we entered Charles' office that he so kindly let us borrow to plan the mission, on the condition that he was allowed to sit in the corner and listen. The man could read all your thoughts from miles away, so of course, you didn't argue. You turned around looking at Bucky with frustration.

"I know, but I'm not about to admit that in front of him. Anyway, Zemo gonna be the bigger issue here" you said and pointed over at Zemo. Everyone's eyes fell over at Zemo as he took a deep sigh.

"If you really want me to stay out of this, I will," he said, admitting that he knew that he would be complicating the mission by being there. Sam shook his head.

"Zemo is the only one who has knowledge about the powerbroker, if your father is right Zemo should be there," Sam said.

You looked up at Zemo. You know Sam was right. If the Powerbroker showed up with Karli Zemo was the only one who knew anything about him. The only reason why you didn't want Zemo there was simply because you were afraid something could happen to him. You were no longer worrying about trusting him or not, but if anything could come to harm him it was gonna be your fault. You weren't even thinking about the risk of him being seen publicly. You only wanted to make sure he didn't die on some stupid earned. Zemo could see that you were worrying and he gave you a reassuring smile.

"Okay, Zemo can come but he will be wearing a face vial and be by my side through the whole mission, no matter what happens," You said and gave in to the pressure. Zemo didn't look too happy about the face vial, but the other two gave in.

"The GCR meeting is happening tomorrow, now we have the benefit of actually being able to plan this beforehand... I want Y/n on the inside we cover her up as a bodyguard and people will eventually take notice of who she is, but it will be nice prevention for the flag smashers to also see that we are bringing in the big guns. Zemo, you will stand by y/n side. Bucky you will be on the ground and keep track of everything, and I'll be in the air. The second anyone attacks or makes a move, the two of you call us in." Sam explained while walking over to the couch sitting down.

You didn't disagree with anything that Sam was saying, though you were not used to the fact that he described you as 'the big guns.' You understood what he meant and to a certain degree agreed with him, but it just felt a bit strange. Your whole life you had been viewed as a weapon, and suddenly being called one was something different, but guess you just had to get used to it. You brushed it off your shoulder and looked down at Sam with a smile.

"I can't wait to see your new wings without being knocked out," you said sarcastically. He laughed at your comeback as the boys started to speak with each other.

You couldn't help but worry about what your father said. You knew you should be prepared to answer questions, but the truth is that you were afraid that people wouldn't like what they heard. If anyone should have the attention tomorrow it should be Sam, not you. He was basically stepping out tomorrow for the first time as Captain America. You wanted him to shine, not headlines about a dangerous mutant walking around helping cap. You haven't even had time to check what people were even saying about you, neither had you been able to be around normal people and see their reaction. Now suddenly everything inside your head started to feel a bit overwhelming.

"Y/n your okay?" Bucky asks out of the blue, snapping you out of your own thought bubble. You looked down at the three boys who all sat in the sitting area. You crossed your arms and smiled weakly.

"Yes, I'm good.. What are we gonna do until tomorrow?" You asked back. You and Zemo wouldn't need to infiltrate the GCR before 2 pm tomorrow, Bucky and Sam wouldn't probably need to be in their places either before or late in the evening. Sam looked up a bit surprised, this might be the first time on this mission where we found ourselves to be able to have a break.

"Guess we have some free time...I'll go home and check on Sarah, you're welcome to join," he said to all of us.

You smiled weakly but shook your head. As much as you loved staying at their place, you wanted to be honest with yourself about what you wanted. These next 24 hours were gonna be the last ones you have together with Zemo and as dumb and cheesy as it might sound, you wanted to spend them together with him. Without the other two boys there. They would most definitely tease you about it, but right now you didn't really care. You walked over to the chair Zemo sat in and stood behind him, laying your hands on his shoulder. He looked up at you confused.

"You wanna stay over at mine?" Oh, you couldn't believe how cheesy you sounded right now. It was terrible, absolutely terrible. You didn't mind asking a guy over, but it was just the way you did it right now and with the boys around that made it feel so much worse. Let's be honest, often when you asked a guy over it would be for a short exchange of intimacy then you would throw him out the door, but with Zemo it was real emotions behind, making you feel like it was a whole lot more at risk.

Zemo looked up at you with a smile as he heard what you asked him about. Your cheeks were slightly turning pink and he could see that you felt a bit out of your zone in this environment. Of course, he wanted to be with you. He grabbed your hand and dragged you down to him. He leaned his head back and looked you deep in the eyes before he kissed your lips.

"Of course, I would like that," he said, enjoying watching how you blushed up just by a simple kiss in front of the guys.

"Okay, the two of you can get a room or whatever...Bucky you go with me," Sam said and stood up giving Charles a nod before they left the room.

"So Zemo was the boyfriend you talked so highly about," Charles said from his desk, looking over at the two of you with a smirk before he put down the computer, giving you his whole attention. You rolled your eyes but didn't answer his question. You walked over to Charles.

"I'm thankful for all the help, and don't worry, I'll be right back after this mission." You said to him, leaning down to his level and kissing his cheek. He laughed low and watched you walk together out with Zemo. Zemo looked up at you with a little bit suspicious about the little interaction you had with Charles.

"Have the two of you? Have you... Do you have a histo.." Zemo tried to ask, but couldn't really find the proper words for what he wanted to ask. For once you got to enjoy him making a fool of himself, so you let him finish his mess of a sentence before you laid your head on his shoulder and smiled.

"Are you asking me if I have had sex with Charles Zemo?" you asked with a laugh. Zemo looked down at you, annoyed at how much he was messing up. He felt stupid simply just for asking, and this definitely didn't help. He grabbed your arm and tried to laugh it off.

"Yes we have, but if it helps to hear, I've told him that you make me feel much better sexually," you said with a smirk.
