"You should know Baron people don't just come into my bar and make demands."
We enter the room to see a woman with white hair cut close to her scalp. She spreads herself across her couch wearing expensive clothing and jewelry.
"Not a demand. An offer." Zemo says, as we delve farther jntk the room.
"A lot has changed since you were here last." Selby says. "By the way I thought you were rotting away in a German prison. How did you escape?"
"People like us always find a way, don't we?" Zemo says. "Im sure you've already figured out what I'm here for."
"Youre taller than I'd heard, Smiling Tiger." She points to Sam who is across the room as Bucky and I slink along the wall. The woman purrs with a smile at Sam's cold nod. "Whats the offer?"
"Tell us what you know about the super solder serum." Zemo says, crossing over to Bucky and I. "And I give you them. Along with the code words to control him, of course."
Zemo places his hands on my shoulders and I force my gaze foreward. My body tenses as his hand slides under my chin before he turns to Bucky.
"They will do anything you want." Zemo says and my chest heaves with anger.
"Now that's the Zemo I remember." Selby smiles. "Im glad I decided not to kill you immidetly. Yeah you were right to come to me. Arrogant, but right."
The woman smiles and stalks toward us. She tilts her head as she walks circles around us. We all stand tensley as she pushes my hair from my face and pulling my mask from my ear, revealing my scars.
"She will make a good bitch." Selby says and I force my body to stay slack as she runs her fingers along my cheekbone down to my shoulder. "Lean, pretty enough, got nice features."
"She is more of a solder." Zemo says.
"She will do whatever I say, yes?" Selby asks and Zemo nods. "Then she can be both."
The moves onto Bucky and his hands are shaking with anger. She runs her hand along his Vibranium arm and gawks at him. She runs a nail along his jaw before circling back to her seat.
My body vibrates as I clench and unclench my fists at my sides. My chest heaves with rapid breath and I try holding it. Hold it together. Hold my breath. Hold my expression from turning into panick. My chest aches as my eyes flick to Bucky. He takes a small side step toward me and touches our shoulders. I keep my eyes forward as I lift my mask back over my features.
"The super solder serum is here in Madripor. Dr. Wilfred Nagel is the man you wanna thank. Or condemn depending on what side of this you're on. The power broker and him are working on the serum, but things didn't go as planned."
"Is Nagel still in Madripor?" Zemo asks.
"Oh, the breadcrumbs you can have for free but the bakery is gonna cost you, Baron." Selby says standing. "And before you get all cute don't think you can find Nagel without me."
Sam's phone begins buzzing and we all spare him a terrified look. Selby smiles and turns to Sam as Bucky and I round the room behind Selby.
"Answer it." Selby orders. "On speaker."
My heart hammers in my chest as someone named Sarah starts talking with Sam about a situation they have. Then a bank. She yells at children and I think get gets away with it until she says his name.
"Sam? Who's Sam?" Selby asks. "Kill them!"
A gunshot fires through the window and Selby falls at my feet. Her guards begin attacking. We knock them down easily before walking toward the door. One of the men has a gold pistol on him. I pluck it from the holster and I place it in my own.
