THIEF | BUCKY BARNES

EIGHTY FIVE

LAWLESS
❝Don't you ever fucking touch that again.❞

"So, our first move is grand theft auto?" Sam questioned sarcastically as they walked into a car lot.

"These are mine. Collected by my family over the generations." Zemo responded as Odessa looked around at all of the old cars.

Bucky smiled at the girl as she ran her hand over the frameworks. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed his lips into her neck, causing her to let go of a small giggle.

"I spent years hunting people HYDRA recruited to recreate the serum. Because once it's out there, someone can create an army of people like the Avengers." Zemo announced as the three made their way back to him.

He was stood at a yellow car, pulling out a few of his belongings. Zemo looked towards Sam as he spoke,

"I ended The Winter Soldier programme once before. I have no intention to leave my work unfinished." Zemo added as he pulled out his bag and grabbed his coat. "To do this, we'll have to scale a ladder of lowlifes."

Odessa couldn't help but look towards Bucky and wonder what that meant for him. If Zemo truly wanted to wipe out the Super Soldiers, that would mean Bucky too. But there was no way in hell that Odessa would let anything happen to the man.

"Well, join the party. We've already started." Sam spoke up, his eyes flickered over to Odessa to see how she was.

She seemed to have perked up since she spoke to Bucky, which he was happy about. It was odd to see the girl upset and it worried him. She was usually so happy and smiley.

"First stop is a woman named Selby. Mid-level fence I still have a line on." Zemo explained as he began to walk away from the trio. "From there, we climb."

He lead the three of them out to a jet that was waiting for them. Odessa instantly pulled on her sunglasses, seemingly at the same time that Bucky and Sam did, which made her chuckle slightly.

"So, all this time, you've been rich?" Sam questioned Zemo curiously.

"I'm a Baron, Sam." Zemo responded. "My family was royalty until your friends destroyed my country."

Bucky gave Odessa's hand a light squeeze before he pulled her closer to him. He pressed his lips against her temple as Zemo spoke to Oeznik, his butler. Odessa watched as the pair greeted one another with a kiss on the cheek.

"Please." Zemo smiled as he made his way up the steps towards the private jet.

"Ma'am." Bucky motioned for the girl to go before him, which made her smile and say,

"Always the gentleman." She couldn't help but allow a toothy smile to form on her face. He made her happy and despite being upset with him for releasing Zemo, he was still everything to her. And she could tell that he was trying to make it up to her, in his own way.

Odessa sat across from Zemo on the jet, her leg anxiously bobbing up and down she wasn't ever a huge fan of planes or jets.

"Apologies if that's a little warm, the fridge is out." Oeznik explained as he handed the alcohol to Zemo. "But I will see if there's some good food in the galley."
