-Bucky's Perspective-
You walk into Zemo's hideout apartment, as lavish as you'd expect for the eccentric asshole you had to get help from. Albeit, he was useful.

"Zemo, we've got a problem." Your exasperation evident.

As dramatic as ever, you see Zemo swivel around on his heels to face you, as he stood before the ceiling high pained windows. With a glass tumbler in his hand, some kind of spirit on rocks - not a surprise for Zemo.

"Do tell Sargeant." Zemo was awfully chipper.

You were too busy looking at your phone and your mind wasn't engaged to even notice Sam sat at the breakfast bar until his obviously annoyed tones filled the air.

"Better yet, tell me." Sam barks at you. "Not just... him." Now he was getting angry.

The tension was building in the room, but your nerves were on edge, You now had to figure out how to tell him you'd been with Y/N, that shed been following him and now that Karli wants to meet with all three of you. You knew you were pacing, but you couldn't help it, it was the only way to soothe yourself, allow your mind to think and avoid any overwhelming feelings that could crush you from the inside out.

"Man, what is it that you can tell him, but not me?" His voice had changed... hurt? Betrayal? Pain?

Like ripping off a bandaid you go for it "I've been with Y/N." You practically whisper it. Your gut and head knew it was purely innocent, but the crushing guilt you were feeling was undeniable.

The look in his eye made you feel worse, he was in physical pain from the revelation. You could see the smoke coming out of his ears from the cogs in his head working overtime with every scenario for why we would have been together.

"What? Why? When? Okay, what the hell is going on?" He was frantic. It was slightly amusing.

"I saw her spying on you. So we had a little chat. During which Karli text her."

Sam letting out of the sigh of relief and his face loosen from his furrow brow and sulking, spoke volumes to you. There was a lot to unravel with these two yet.

"Come on Samuel, you're not the least bit suspicious." Zemo now chirps up.

Sams irritable look had returned, it was a welcome sight seeing someone else be on the receiving end of sams signature "are you kidding me?" Look, you try and hide the smirk that creeped onto your face, remembering the situation at hand.

"It's awfully convenient." Zemo stupidly continues. Your own annoyance now rising, you couldn't bare being around him after what he did to Steve and Tony. "For someone who claims to never want to be found. She's putting herself out there frequently."

You lean against the breakfast bar, digging your nails and fingers into the countertop to stop yourself reaching for him and killing him with your bare hands.

"And the fact neither of you have disputed this means you believe my suspicions are justified." He was getting too arrogant for your liking now, but before you could get a word in.

"I believe nothing, least of all from... you." Sam immediately shuts him down.

"I'm with Sam." You agree.

"Believe what you wish, but mark my words, your alliances and loyalties have got you wiped off this planet once before... this time it may result in a more permanent state."

"Aww Zemo, I didn't realise you were such a scaredy cat." Said a feminine voice you had come to recognise. Naturally all three of you whipped your heads around towards the person who managed to enter the building without any one of you knowing... slick.

She takes a few steps towards Zemo "Especially of little old me." You watch the smirk plaster across her face, until it suddenly fades into a stern look and her voice soon matches the seriousness.

"Hello old friend." Y/N says, low and blunt.

This brings more questions than answers...
