The ride to Berlin was tense given the fact that Mary despised the man they were going to see. Zemo had singlehanded destroyed her family. Tearing them apart all for revenge over something they had no control over and tried to help all they could back in Sokovia. The Avengers did what they could with what they had. But Zemo did not need to bomb the UN in Vienna, pinning it on Bucky, killing innocent lives in the process.T'Chaka died that day in Vienna. Mary watched as T'Challa cradled his father's head and body, weeping for his beloved Baba in the ashes of the bombed building. Knowing his father was dead and there was nothing that could be done otherwise.
Mary would never forgive Zemo for that alone.
So for her husband to want to go see the vile man was something Mary never thought would happen. Him even suggesting it was a shock to her and Sam.
When they arrived at the prison, Mary wanted to leave instantly. She didn't like the feeling of being near Zemo. She didn't like the thought of Bucky being around him. Even though the trigger words were gone, they still meant something to Bucky and Mary. She didn't like the thought of Zemo attempting to use the words against her husband.
Everything about Zemo made Mary's skin crawl. And being in Germany didn't help either. Too many things in Mary's past happened in Germany or started there. Hitler and the Nazis invading Poland, the Avengers fighting in the airport. All of what transpired because of those events started in Germany. Mary did not like being in that country.
"He's just through that corridor." The guard says to the three of them.
"Give us a sec." Bucky says as he takes a breath. Sam looks over his teammate as the guard steps away. He then looks at Mary and he already knows she's going to be pissed at him, "I'm gonna go in alone."
"The hell you are." Mary snaps instantly. "He tore our family apart, James. He destroyed everything i had built up over decades." She states, her voice shaking. He places his hands on her arms to help her calm down.
Bucky pulls her into his arms to further help her and he sighs, "I know, Doll." He whispers to her. "And this is why i'm going in alone to talk with him. You have a bigger grudge against him than i do, more reason to hate him."
"I don't like it, James." Mary says into his chest and she breathes out slowly, calming herself down bit by bit. "At least let Sam go with you?" She asks.
"Not this time." Bucky responds and Sam looks at him confused.
"Why?" The Falcon asks as Mary pulls herself away from her husband slowly.
"You're an Avenger. You know how he feels about that." Bucky reminds Sam. "Mary's essentially the Mother of the Avengers, he probably despises her the most."
"Feeling is mutual." Mary gripes as she crosses her arms over her chest and leans into Sam's side. Her friend's arm swinging over her shoulders instinctively.
