Zoe paced up and down the length of the Quinjet Bucky just sat watching her. By the fourth time she had paced Bucky reached out and stopped her "Hey Doll take a seat cause pacing back and forth is just going to make your and mine anxiety even worst" he said tensely. Zoe looked down at him and saw the worry in his blue eyes and she sighed as she took the seat next him. "Bucky I just hate sitting by doing nothing I know that I can help" she cried, Bucky just nodded and wrapped his arm around pulling her close. Zoe couldn't but help but curl into his embrace he was just so calming she felt Bucky sigh and kiss the top of her head. Bucky closed his eyes and felt his heart calm to a steady pace for the first time all morning having Zoe in his arms just felt so right like that where she was suppose to be, he placed a kissed on the top her head and taking in her scent of Jasmine and vanilla and just a hint of cinnamon.

All of a sudden there was a loud bang outside and they jumped up Zoe raced to the window to see Clint shooting arrows at a winged creature that was terrifying and "Oh shit" she cried  as one of creature flew in front of the Quinjet it had the body of a bird but the head of a women it looked into Quinjet and saw Zoe and got a sinister grin on it's face and screeched so loudly that both Zoe and Bucky and to cover their ears. The creature flew off in the direction of a plane it the distance and she saw the other creatures following as well. "What in the hell was that" asked Bucky as he rubbed his ears, Zoe's whose ears were still ringing just looked at him terrified "I think those were Harpies" she almost whispered, Bucky's eyes widen in acknowledgement. There was a loud bang and it knock Zoe off balance but Bucky's quick reflex made him catch her. The Quinjet loading dock started to open and both turn to see a man walking up it with a grin on his face. Bucky pulled Zoe behind him and pulling a gun from his side. The man just laughed it was cold and unfeeling and sent chills down Zoe's spine, Zoe got a familiar feeling like she has seen him before but shook it away he was dress in a well cut deep blue suit and was wearing dark sunglasses and his dark hair was twisted in braids on the top his head. "Well, well little princess I have finally found you" hissed the man. Bucky pulled to where he was shielding his body with her behind him. The man just laughed "Oh isn't this sweet the princess and her soulmate soldier" hissed the man again. "What do you want from me? asked Zoe as she looked out from behind Bucky. The man just got huge grin on his face it was almost snake like "I want revenge" he yelled. Zoe narrowed her eyes "What the hell did I ever do to you and who are you?' asked Zoe. The man moved closer  and laughed "Oh princess I am Chrysaor and I want revenge for my mother" he yelled.

Zoe's eyes widen "Oh shit" she gasped Bucky just looked at her confused "Who is he Zoe?" asked Bucky. "He is one of the sons of Medusa and Poseidon" she replied looking straight at Chrysaor. Loud clapping made both turn back "You truly are your mother's daughter so brilliant" hissed Chrysoar. "What does that have to do with Athena?" asked Bucky, Zoe remained silent and Chrysoar just hissed out a laugh "Oh I am sure the little princess knows the stories.. please to tell" he snapped.  Zoe sighed "I am sure you know the story of Medusa right Bucky" asked Zoe quietly. Bucky gives a slight nodded "She's the monster who turn people to stone with at glance" replied Bucky. "Monster" hissed Chrysaor  Bucky looked over at him and back at Zoe with a questioning look. Zoe let out huge sigh "Medusa wasn't always a monster she was actually a handmaiden in Athena's temple she was suppose to be very beautiful so much so that she caught the eye of Poseidon and he tried to seduce her but she refused and he assaulted her on the steps of Athena's temple, which made Athena furious she punished Medusa by turning her into the Gorgan monster of the myths" said Zoe with a sad tone to her voice. "Strike one little princess but that's not the whole story right please continue" Chrysoar snapped. "My mother gave the shield to Perseus which was reflective he used it like a mirror causing her to turn to stone and Perseus beheaded her and gave Medusa's head to Athena who used it on her shield" said Zoe solemnly. Chrysoar smiled "Now that we know the reasons I am going to take the actions and finally get the revenge that my sister has failed so many times" he laughed.
