Ophelia's Daughter (Steve X OC)

Chapter 23 - Daddy Issues

(Aspen POV)

"Why am I so nervous?" I was rubbing my hands together trying to avoid doing just about anything really. 

"He's your father, that's why" Bucky stated watching me. We stood across each other on the hall, leaning on opposite sides of the wall. We were waiting for access to the cells. After a lot of arguing from Bucky they decided to discuss in private if they will let us both enter. The rule, apparently, was one person at a time fifteen minutes each. Now I had to get the information out of him in that short of a time.

"Just, tell him the truth. He appreciates that." I looked at Bucky who was staring at the floor. He was nervous but trying to hide it. This was the man that knew his codes to turn him. This was the man that almost destroyed the Avengers by just setting him up for murder. He barely lifted a finger and turned the world upside down.

"Okay" I whisper still nervous. He wasn't going to be happy to find out I exist. What if he tries to kill me and my sisters for existing?

"Ms. Aspen, Mr. Barnes. You have both been cleared. Fifteen minutes, in and out. We will be watching and listening." Shit listening I suddenly look at Bucky who walks over to me and holds my hand. He looks away from the man to whisper without being seen.

"Tony got me something for that don't worry" I nod pushing myself off the wall to head in.

We pass several security doors. Noticing that they all used the same key. Idiots...Once we enter his room it's dark. There is no way for him to know what day it is, let alone if it was day. In the center of the room he was in a bullet proof glass enclosure. We get close enough for the light above the marked stop line for guests illuminates out faces.

"Longing..."

I look at Bucky worried. 

"Rusted.."

Bucky looks at me with a smirk. I take a deep breath. At some point he had gotten rid of their control. I'll have to ask him when did that happen.

"Seventeen..."

"They don't work anymore" Bucky called out with slight anger in his voice.

"Too bad, we had fun you and I" Zemo slowly walked up to the glass where the light hit him, letting me see who my genetic father was for the first time. It shocked me how similar to some of my sisters he looked. He had brown hair and brown eyes, but had the same oval face and features as some of my sisters. John was almost a twin. "You brought a lovely girl to meet me. James how nice of you"

Bucky took a step forward protectively. He knew Zemo couldn't do anything to me from his cell but the things he has done to Bucky made him protective. I see Bucky tap his pocket. "We have five minutes before they figure out something's wrong."

"So who is she?" He asked with authority. His previous life of being a Baron obvious in his tone and manor of speaking.

"She is standing right here and can talk for herself" He turns to look at me. Really look at me. He analyzed every part of my face.

"You look like someone I once knew" He squints his eyes. "However, this is impossible."

"Think again...dad" His eyes widen.

"My children are dead. You confuse me with someone else" He turns to walk away.

"Madam Hydra, Ophelia...She created us. A lot of us using your...well..soldiers. We need your help to stop her."

He turns and looks at me with fire in his eyes.

"James..is this..?"

"Yes, it's all true. This is Aspen Sarkissian. She escaped Hydra and is trying to save her siblings from Madam Hydras plans."
