Chapter 16

When Olivia woke up again, she almost screamed in delight. She wasn't dead. She wasn't shot.

Actually she was relatively unharmed. Which was surprising.

But Olivia did wake up to the sound of grating metal against metal. It caused her to grit her teeth at the sound. It wasn't something she was fond of.

"Zemo." She spat, her sudden burst of delight disappearing as his piercing brown eyes landed on her.

"Wonderful of you to join us, Miss Stone. Just in time for the party." There was a wide window in front of her and. A smaller one in front of Zemo.

"What's going on?"
"We're waiting for you friends."
"And then?"
"I tear them apart." He smiled and turned back to the window and waited. Olivia fought against her restraints and tried to use her powers only to find that she couldn't access them.

"What's in the IV?"
"A blocker."
"You mean a diluted-"
"No. A blocker." He snapped. Olivia flinched and went lay still.

"Ah. Our guests have arrived." He stood up and pressed a button above his head, lighting up the area the two were in.

"Captain. Mr Stark. Barnes." The three turned to look at Zemo and Olivia. Stark lifted his face mask and found himself staring into the terrified face of Olivia Stone.

"Livvie?" He asked.

"Ah, I see you've found my other guest," Zemo began. "Please ignore her for the moment. We need to speak first."

Bucky looked at Olivia and she could see that he was contemplating shooting the glass. Her chest was beginning to rise and fall quickly, nerves, terror and Bucky all contributing to her distress.

"What do you want?" Steve asked, throwing a look at Olivia. He looked at Zemo with his piercing blue eyes through the small window, fists clenched.

"To make you hurt. You see, Captain, in Sokovia, I lost my wife and son," he started. "There were trapped in our apartment. It crashed down on them. I had told them they were going to be safe." Zemo grimaced, the memory still fresh in his mind.

"That doesn't explain why you were framing Bucky. Or killing people who didn't deserve it."
"I had to. He was on the run. I had to make him the enemy of the state."
"When it was you the whole time, yes, thank you for enlightening us but WHAT IS YOUR POINT?" Olivia contributed, fighting against her restraints. Stark moved towards her but Zemo tutted.

"December 16, 1991." Stark froze and Olivia continued to fight against her restraints, yelling profanities left, right and centre. Buckys breathing was barely audible, his eyes a little wider. The panic had settled in.

He's going to harm her.

Once upon a time, she was his mission to kill. Then she was his mission to avoid and now she was his mission to save. She was his past, present and future. He needed to get to her.

"Bucky, you remember that report." The snipers rifle was up in a second, aimed at Zemos head. The ex-solider shook his head, a grim smile on his face.

"Please, lower your weapon, Barnes. You know just as well as I do that this glass is bulletproof." Bucky gritted his teeth together but didn't lower the gun.

"Please, Stark, Rogers, even you Barnes, come and watch what I have to show you." A small TV turned on and a security cameras footage from 1996 started playing. Zemo smiled and quickly got up and moved Olivia to a window right beside him and produced a bright pink liquid in a needle.

"What is that?" Olivia whimpered when he pressed it to her neck. It didn't go in but he had it ready to inject into her veins.

"Something that is going to cause you a lot of pain, Gem Stone." She glared at him and true to move away from him but was still restricted by the straps.

"Let me take this out for you." Zemo grabbed the IV needle and ripped it out, not caring for any pain that it could cause Olivia. He already knew how much pain he was about to cause her.

"Enjoy this." He hissed before stabbing the needle into her neck and injected the cold pink liquid into her body. The effects were instantaneous.

The liquid turned from ice cold to flaming hot, spreading from her neck to her head and all around.

"Did you know?" Stark whispered when the recording finished. Steve didn't respond, eyes glued to Starks face. Bucky was in the background, watching Olivia, very much aware of the pain she was going through.

"Did you know?!" Stark yelled, making Steve and Bucky flinch.

"Yes." Stark's fists clenched. Bucky opened his mouth to speak when a scream ripped through Olivia's lungs, encompassing them all.

"What did you do to her?!" Bucky yelled, gun at the ready only to her a mechanical whir and find Stark running towards him.

"You know, Captain, now that I see you, your eyes have some green in them."
"I'll kill you, you son of a bitch." Zemo shrugged as Steve ran to pull Stark off Bucky, only to get punched in the face.

"This is war, Rogers."
"Run, Buck!" Bucky did as he was told, wanting to go back for Olivia wasn't an option. He needed to get away from the man in the metal suit.

Olivia screamed as sobbed as the fire spread trough her veins. She could barely lift her head but she knew what was going on. She wanted to open we eyes and tell them to stop fighting. That it wasn't Bucky who had killed Howard and Maria. But all she could do was feel the pain.

It went silent very quickly. The sound of metal on metal disappearing. Zemo was gone, the serum was finishing it's work. The only sound was yells from somewhere else and the soft pads of footsteps coming to Olivia's side.

"I'm sorry, Miss Stone."
