"I need to go back home." Zayrah says as she and Bucky exit the hospital after dropping Sharon off.
"Yeah. That's where we're going." Bucky mutters hailing a cab.
"Erm. James, I mean, I need to visit my apartment." Zayrah says as the two get into the cab.
"Oh."
"Yeah. I erm. I haven't been there in days, I feel I should pay my abode a visit." Zayrah says to Bucky and gives the cabbie her address.
Bucky feels something is off with her, but chooses to not acknowledge it.
He watches her from the corner of his eyes as she lets her hair down and runs her fingers through it.
Soon, they reach her building.
"I'll see you then, James." Zayrah says.
Bucky eyes her for a second and says, "Yeah."
Zayrah leans and kisses him softly. She pays the cabbie the fare and exits the taxi.
She enters her building and the cab leaves.
Once she reaches her apartment, she finds the door already open. Which doesn't concern her. She pushes the door and enters her house.
The lights flick on.
Zayrah leaves a sigh and closes the door shut.
"What are you doing here, Daryl?" Zayrah asks as he pours himself a glass of soda.
"The rest of the Flagsmashers have been gotten rid of." The man says sipping the drink.
"What?!"
"Yeah. And something tells me, Zemo has something to do with it." He says.
Suddenly her door bell rings. She grabs her gun and answers her door.
"James?"
"Hi. You didn't ask. I thought I'd stop by. What's going on here anyway?" Bucky says entering the apartment.
"Ah! The good looking boyfriend! Delighted to finally meet you, Sergeant Barnes. You really are very handsome" Daryl says shaking Bucky's hand. Who in return has an amused expression on his face.
"Oh please don't be so shocked. You've got it all, right? A pretty face, a breathtaking body and the metal arm. Jesus!" Daryl continues to talk. Bucky looks at Zayrah uncomfortably, who in return, glares at him.
"Yes. Zemo does hate super soldiers with everything. He could've stayed in Berlin, not accompany us. He is smart enough to weigh the consequences. Yet he took his chances. He could be behind it." Zayrah says glaring at her boyfriend. She wanted to keep him away from yet another chaos. She pulls Bucky's hand out of Daryl's.
"Behind what?" Bucky asks.
"The Flagsmashers. As in the super soldiers, died. Their truck was bombed." Daryl says.
"Oh my god. Really? ... That could really be Zemo. But there must be people outside working for him. As in, someone powerful. With proper resources." Bucky says thoughtfully.
"That still doesn't explain you coming here. Why are you here, Daryl?" Zayrah asks.
"Well, will it be okay if I say it in front of Mr. Barnes?"
"I didn't want him to come here." Zayrah gives Bucky a tight lipped smile. "That being said, yes of course you can say it in front of him." she adds.
"I need you to go to India, Agent Waters. Here's the briefing. All you need to do is get one of our own people out from Delhi. This one is a little bit more tricky and dangerous than it seems." Daryl says.
"Our people? Who?" Zayrah asks.
Daryl breaks into fits of laughter. "You know. I think its a phase where your ex boyfriends are making grand come backs one after the other."
"So its Zack. What is he even doing on a solo mission? You sent him to India, and I need to get him out. Okay." Zayrah mutters, watching a small frown making its way onto Bucky's features.
"He refused to work with partners after your split. This is why you should not fuck your colleague. Zayrah." Daryl says with an annoyed expressions.
"Shut up. Get out. He is the one who wanted to get married." Zayrah mutters.
"Yeah. And now he is happily married with two kids." Daryl says and walks out of the door.
"Good for him." Zayrah sighs and closes the door behind him.
"Guess that's my cue to leave." Bucky says.
"No. James, don't." Zayrah says. "I didn't want you to come up because I didn't want you to meet Daryl. He..well you just saw how he is."
"Yes." Bucky laughs. "Yes, he seems like a handful."
"MMhmm. But, he is good boss." Zayrah says walking into her bedroom. Bucky follows her inside.
"Make yourself comfortable, please. I mean, My very..very baggy clothes will fit you." Zayrah laughs.
"Probably if you buy sacks, then yes." Bucky says making her laugh harder.
"Oh James. I'm so glad all of this has ended now. Some peace finally." Zayrah says as Bucky engulfs her in a hug.
Bucky sighs. He pulls his phone. A soft piano piece begins to play. He throws the phone onto her bed. Zayrah's lips stretch into a smile as both her and Bucky begin to sway to the tune.
"Ended? I thought you're going to India to save your ex boyfriend ." Bucky says.
"Mhm. I am, but that won't be much of a problem. Nothing I haven't done a thousand times before." Zayrah says.
Bucky suddenly pauses. Zayrah realizes why.
"Okay. That was stupid. Anything can happen. Even to a professional." She says and Bucky resumes their act of comfort with a chuckle.
"Do you want me-"
"No."
"No. Do you want me to come with you?"
"No, James. You don't have to come with me. I want you to stay back home and have a rest."
Bucky chooses to stay silent.
"All you've ever done is go on missions, James. You need to take a chill pill." Zayrah says making Bucky laugh.
"And you better not be insecure about Zack." Zayrah says.
This time Bucky scoffs, "Oh he is the least of my concerns. And of course apart from the fact that he might get you in trouble or worse. Get you hurt. Or killed."
"Nothing as such is going to happen, Bubs." Zayrah laughs and plants a kiss on his lips.
Bucky holds her head in his hands and deepens the kiss. He licks her lower lip. Zayrah smiles and lets him in.
"We need to wash ourselves, James. We haven't even changed. This suit is stuck to my body. I'm sweating like a pig."
"No you're not, Doll. Ladies don't sweat. They glow."
Zayrah looks at him with raised eyebrows.
"But. Let's get you cleaned up anyway." Bucky nods his head, laughing.
