📍 Berlin, Germany | May 2024
They began to move and went to a garage filled with cars.
"So our first move is grand theft auto?" Sam commented.
"These are mine. Collected by family over the generations," Zemo replied, opening a trunk while the three inspected the cars. "I spent years hunting people HYDRA recruited to recreate the serum. Because once it's out there, someone can create an army of people... like the Avengers."
He got a bag inside of a car, "I ended the Winter Soldier program once before. I have no intention to leave my work unfinished." He began to walk away, "To do this, we'll have to scale a ladder of lowlifes."
"Well, join the party. We've already started," Sapphire scoffed.
"First stop is a woman named Selby. Mid-level fence I still have a line on. From there, we climb," He walked out as the three followed him.
"Ugh, not again," Sapphire rolled her eyes, remembering that woman.
"I can't believe you agreed to do this," Sam said to Sapphire, who is now in the middle of Bucky and him.
"What makes you different from me?" She looked at him in wonder. "You insisted on my released despite knowing I can harm you and others."
"Well, you did," he retorted, referring to her using her pain to illusion him back in Crossmoor.
"I was just making a point that time," She shrugged.
"You've got to stop scaring him, Doll," Bucky told her.
Her heart lurched in joy because it's been so long since she's heard that nickname from him.
"Who? Sam or Zemo?" She asked mockingly, which earned a shove from Sam.
"You belong together," Sam rolled his eyes.
Bucky and Sapphire glared at him as they both followed Zemo until they reached a tarmac.
The three of them were offered sunglasses which they took and walked over to a private jet.
"So all this time you've been rich?" Sam asked in disbelief.
"I'm a Baron, Sam," Zemo replied. "My family was royalty until your friends destroyed my country."
Remembering Sokovia, Sapphire dug her phone in the pockets of her jacket to send a text message to Wanda.
To Wanda: How are you?
An old man waited for them by the stairs and greeted Zemo.
"Please," Zemo told them as he stepped inside the jet.
Sam bowed in acknowledgment to the old man before Bucky let Sapphire walk first before him, holding her waist in assistance from behind.
"Do you always have to be so handsy?" Sapphire hissed at him as they stepped inside the plane.
"Of course," he whispered against her ear, knowing it makes her hot and bothered.
Sapphire's breath hitched, feeling goosebumps and a familiar stirring in her core.
"Stop it," she warned as they took their seats.
Sam and Bucky sat on the right, facing each other, while Sapphire sat across from Zemo on the left and Bucky on her right.
Sapphire's phone dinged, indicating that she received a message.
