"We don't know how they're getting the serum. We don't even know how many of them there are. Look, let me just walk you through a hypothetical. Can i walk you through a hypothetical?" Bucky asks the two putting a hand on your shoulder

"Oh, god. What did you do?" you ask him

"I didn't do anything" he tells you

"Yes you did. I know you like the back of my hand James Buchanan Barnes. What did you do?" you ask again

"The weakest point in any system isn't the software, the hardware, it's the meatware. The human element. Now, in this lockup, it's nine to one, prisoners to guards. And if two prisoners start fighting, then the protocol says four guards have to respond" Bucky starts to tell them

"So why would two prisoners randomly start fighting at that moment?" Sam asks him

"Who knows? There could be many reasons. But the point is, these things escalate. Lockdown procedures would have to be initiated with all the issues bodies flying around left and right, wouldn't be hard to slip down a hallway or two. And if the fire alarm got trigged while the prisoners were being separated someone could use the chaos to their advantage" Bucky tells them

"I don't like how casual you're going about this. This is unnatural" Sam says then turns to you "You like how casual he's being?"

"Well, no. But it's very attractive" you say and Bucky gives you a smirk "Okay, where the hell are we?" you ask again

A door then opens to your left and you look over to see a shadow of a man walking closer only to show Zemo walking in.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa" Sam says as your hands glow green

"No, listen" Bucky says stepping in front of the two

"What are you doing here?" Sam asks

"I didn't want to tell you guys cause i know you both wouldn't let this happen" Bucky tells them

"What the hell?" you ask

"We need him"

"You're going back to prison!" Sam yells to Zemo as he takes off his hat

"If i may-"

"No!" the three yell at him

"Apologies"

"When Steve refused to sign the Sokovia Accords, you both backed him. You both broke the law, and you both stuck your necks out for me. I'm asking you both to do it again" Bucky tells the two

"I really think i'm invaluable-"

"Shut up" you cut Zemo off with your eyes glowing green "You- I swear to God Bucky" you say to him

"Okay. If we do this, you don't make a move without our permission" Sam says looking at Zemo

"Fair"

"Okay, Zemo. Where do we start?" Sam asks him
