Denial until the last minute

CHAPTER 6

Sorry its late, I kept getting writers block and I have a lot of school projects and one of my partners in one of the school projects, I caught her using AI even when me and my other project partner told her not to. And its really stressing me out.

Bucky POV:  After a few minutes of holding Silea in my arms, I start to hear little snores coming from Silea as she now sleeps in my arms. Gently I pick her up and place her on the sofa. I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear so I can see her face more clearly. I notice she has a scar running from the top of her forehead to her inner left eyebrow, she has another small scar running across her nose and another on on her jaw. 

 I the corner of my eye is see the her left arm is littered with scars and one big burn on her shoulder, her right had as a burn on her wrist and her right lower leg also as a big burn scar on it. 'What in the lords name has this kid been through' I think to myself.  I let out a big sigh and slowing stand up at the same time Sam and Zemo walk back into the room. 

"Lets go ask around the place for Karli, see if anyone has seen her" Sam says. I look back at Silea before I go to find a piece of paper and write down where we're going. I place it next to her and then follow Sam and Zemo out the door. I don't know why but I feel like a have to protect that kid more than anything.

Time skip

Silea POV: I jolt myself  awake, I had a weird dream that I was falling through memories, some good, some bad. I sit up and look around. Everything is quite, in the corner of my eye I see a piece of paper on the table next to me. I seems like they tried to write me a note telling me that they had left, but unfortunately I have dyslexia and I can't read for shit (I've also never gone to a normal school) I get up to stretch when suddenly i get an iris message from the gods... yay. 

I chuck a golden drachma into the rainbow and there is Zeus, in all his..... annoying face? I don't know what to call it. "Now Silea, I see that you are on a mortal work mission with your mortal friends, to try and catch Kali Karli Morgenthau." "yeah so what, I'm not gonna leave half way though this mission just so you know" I say to him in an annoyed voice. " DO NOT INTERUPT ME LITTLE GIRL, now i'm not saying you have to leave the mission, in fact it would be best if you stayed, in the attack that Kali did, a young demigod died along with a sytar that was helping them get to camp. It has been decided that you will find Kail Morgenthau and make her pay for killing the demigod whom was only 8 years old"  

"fuck" i mutter under my breath. "Okay, so when you say pay, do you mean just telling her what she did and beating her up or do you mean killing her?" I ask, trying to keep in mind that Sam and Bucky want to keep her alive and just send her to prison, Zemo wants her dead. "The demigod that died was a son of Hecate and Hecate wants revenge, she wants Kali to pay for killing her son"  "fffffuuuuuuuckkkkkking hell. Okay I'll see what I can do" I say before waving my hand into the iris message, stopping the call. "Holy Heras underpants, this just got complicated"

"FUCK, what do I do, the gods want me to kill her but Sam and Bucky don't!!!"

After a few minutes of me pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what to do I sit down and Sam, Bucky and Zemo walk inside the house.

"Well, I got nothin'. No one's talkin' about Donya." Bucky says as he walks over to the sofa and sits down diagonal to me and Sam sits on the other side of me. "Yeah, it's because Karli is the only one fighting for them." Sam says, making me stress even more about what I have been tasked with from the gods. Bucky and I sigh at the same time making me turn to him and chuckle "And she's not wrong." Sam continues.

"What do you mean?" I ask

"For five years, people have been welcomed into countries that have kept them out using barbwire. There were houses and jobs. Folks were happy to have people around to help them rebuild. It wasn't just one community coming together, it was the entire world coming together. And then, boom. Just like that, it goes right back to the way it used to be. To them, at least Karli's doin' somethin'." When Sam answers me, I start to feel myself stress even more.

"You really think her ends justify her means? Then, she's no different than him or anybody else we've fought." Bucky says, pointing at Zemo.

"She's different. She's not motivated by the same things." Sam retaliates with.

"That little girl. What'd she tell you?" Bucky say when Zemo walks over to us with some tea. "wait what little girl, Zemo what did you do" I ask kinda scared that they hurt some girl.

"The funeral is this afternoon."  Zemo said, I was just about to open my mouth to ask about the little girl when Zemo said "don't worry, the little girl is fine, I gave her some Turkish delights to share with her friends"

"You know the Dora's coming for you any minute. In fact, they're probably lurking outside right now. Keep talking." Bucky demands.

"Leaving you to turn on me once we get to Karli. Hmm. I prefer to keep my leverage." Zemo sass back. "damn, You are one sassy man" I say with a laugh as Bucky gets up and grabs Zemo's drink out of his hand and throws it against the wall. I stopped laughing at that point.

"You wanna see what someone can do with leverage?" Bucky says getting all up in Zemo's face

"Take it easy. Don't engage him. He's just gonna extort you and do that stupid head tilt thing. Let me make a call." Sam says, and Zemo... does the stupid head tilt thing. "Damn you two need to get a room" I say while laughing.

"You want some cherry blossom tea?" Zemo asks Bucky and I after Sam leaves the room to make a call

"No, you go ahead." Bucky says in a grumpy voice. "umm sure" I say and Zemo hands me a glass of tea, I drink a bit of it, and let me tell you, it was soooooo good. "Fuck my uncle in the butt, this is good" When I say that, Bucky and Zemo turn and stare at me with a confused look on their faces.

 "Ares in a bitch" is all I say.
