━━━━━━━━━━ Luther reread the invitation sent to you all, "Diego, this is a setup." Diego pulled on his polo and started buttoning it up, "Maybe. But we should go anyway."
"Says the guy who's already been stabbed once this week."
"Oh, don't worry, me and him are gonna have words."
"Would you tell him that he's nuts?" Luther looked toward you and Vanya for help.
"I think we should go." Your sister agreed.
"See?"
Luther stopped mid-spoonful, "Vanya, of all people, you should hate Dad the most."
"Come on, can he really be that bad?"
"Okay, well, let's see. He isolated you from the rest of the family."
"Kept you hopped up on pills," Diego added.
"And he brainwashed you into thinking you had no powers." You finished off.
"Jesus, this guy..." She started, "I mean, come on, I have to meet him." You and Diego chuckled at her response.
"What about you Y/N? Could you back me up? You know this is crazy," Luther pleaded.
You shrugged your shoulders, "Honestly, I don't see the harm in it."
His mouth gaped open. "You are no help," he pointed at you before looking back at Diego, "And you already know how this is gonna go. Dad is gonna play all his little mind games on us, get into our heads, and he's gonna turn us all against each other. You watch."
"Luther, we're not 12 anymore. We're grown-ass men." Diego panned to you and Vanya, "And women."
"Hey." Diego started, "Hey. We can handle him. Wanna know what's different this time?"
Luther sighed, "Oh, yeah? What's that?"
"You got me." From his crouched position, he looked between the three of you. "We go in there as a united front. No more 'Number One,' 'Number two' bullshit. From now on, it's... Team Zero."
"'Team Zero?'" Luther questioned.
"Team Zero. All the way" Diego raised his fist for a fist bump, but was left hanging when all he received in return was strange looks.
You stood up when Diego finally put his hand down in defeat, "Yeah, okay. I'll see you guys there." You left your siblings without saying anything and entered the bedroom, finding Bucky standing near the bed.
"Hey." You greeted him with a soft smile, which he returned. You started walking towards him, but he flinched away, "You alright?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." He wouldn't look you in the eye while he spoke.
