"Thanks" you nod to her before changing and following her back to the room with the boys.

"Much better." She told commented, looking you up and down.

"What's going on, Sharon?" Sam pulled a shirt off the rack. "You don't ever wanna come back home?"

"They'll lock me up if I step foot back in the States. Madripoor doesn't allow extradition." She explains as you take a seat next to Bucky on the couch, he wore an all black suit.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't call, but after The Blip and the chaos, I just..." Sam trails off. You lift your shirt enough to see the bloodied gauze and sigh, moving to open the first aid kit that sat on the coffee table.

"Look, you know the whole hero thing is a joke, right? I mean, the way you gave up that shield, deep down, you must know it's all hypocrisy."

"He knows. And not so deep down." Zemo speaks up once again.

"By the way, how is the new Cap?" Sharon asked.

"Don't get me started." Bucky rolls his head back.

"Please, you buy into all that stars and stripes bullshit." She scoffs. "Before you were his pet psychopath, you were Mr. America! Cap's best friend." Sharon sits on the other side of Bucky and throws her arm over the back of the couch, biting her lip as she looked to him.

"Wow

"Wow. She's kind of awful now." Bucky commented. You simply rolled your eyes at the action before Sam continued with the real problem.

"Karli Morgenthau and at least seven others have taken the serum."

"You guys really should steer clear of all of this for your own safety." Sharon warns.

"We know it's a risk, but we're not gonna leave until we find the person who cracked the code." You start, opening the supplies before you.

"We got a name. Wilfred Nagel." Bucky continued as Sharon looked to him with a worry.

"Nagel works for the Power Broker." The blond woman stands up.

"We need your help, Sharon. I can get your name cleared." Sam promises.

"You haggling with my life?"

"Not like that."

"I don't buy that. You pretending like you can clear my name."

"Okay, maybe it is hypocrisy. Maybe you're right, what happened to you. But I'm willing to try if you are. They cleared the bionic staring machine, and he killed almost everybody he's met." Sam motions to Bucky.

"I heard that." He calls back while you peel the gauze off your side.

"I don't trust charity."

"All right, a deal then. You help us out, and I get your name cleared." Sam proposed. She shakes on the deal and takes a drink before starting up again.

"Well, I sell to some pretty connected people. Lay low, blend in, enjoy the party. Try to stay outta trouble. I'll see what I can find." She walks out.

"Trouble." Zemo said.

"You alright?" Bucky questioned as you winced in pain.

"Yeah, I'm fine" your voice cracked as you spoke. The hydrogen peroxide was stinging your wound as you attempted to clean it up.

"Here, may I?" He questioned, adjusting his seat so that he was facing you more. You just closed your eyes and nodded as he cleaned up the wound and bandaged it up again. "How's that feel? Better?" You opened your eyes to meet how worry filled blue ones.

"Thanks" you nodded, pulling your shirt back down to cover the bandage. "Looks like it's party time" you stand up from your spot as Bucky carefully watched your movements. You all walk down to the gallery as blue and purple lights are flashing, people are dancing close to each other and loud music is playing. You walk over to the bar and order a drink.

"I thought you didn't drink before missions" Bucky laughed as you downed the liquid

"I thought you didn't drink before missions" Bucky laughed as you downed the liquid.

"Well it's been a long, painful day and it only getting longer" you stated before turning to look at the crowd.

"Hey, I'm sorry about what you had to watch earlier"

"It's fine" you tell him.

"No it's not! Those were the worst years of my life and not only because of working for Hydra and being brainwashed but because I hurt you as the winter soldier so many times" he starts to rant.

"Bucky, I'm fine and as far as you've told me, your fine so can we please just move on from that and finish the mission so that I can go back to the way things were a few days ago."

"Do you really want to go back to that?"
