Nine
Arabella was looking around ignoring the conversation going on with the others in her group. Arabella had Bucky’s arm wrapped around her waist helping her guide her, and not to leave her behind. She had changed from the clothes Sharon had give her, into some more comfy and flexible clothes. Her attention was brought back to the trio by Zemo’s voice
"I don't suppose any of you bothered visiting the memorial?"
“I had, actually.” This caught the attention of the three men, “me and two of my friends volunteered to help clean up, we also made some donations.”
“Then I should thank you, afterall, “ Zemo turned back to the front after looking at Sam with a small glare, “You actually did something. We are here."
"I'm gonna go on a walk." Bucky announced, as he pulled away from Arabella, giving her a small kiss in her forehead. Arabella blushed slightly from the sudden sign of affection. Zemo and Sam just rolled their eyes in disgust. Gross.
"You good?" Sam asked
"Yeah, I'll see you guys in a bit." Bucky walked away, Arabella was looking at where he once stood. Arabella wanted nothing more than to go after him, her thoughts were broken by a cell phone ring, she took her phone out.
“Sam,” Sam turned to look at her with a questionable look, “I am going to take this call.”
“Alright.”
Arabella seated down in one of the steps in the front porch, she clicked the green button placing the phone in her ear. “Hey, Cat.”
“Bella, guess what!” The excited voice of one of her close friends, Catherine Woo, made Arabella gain a huge smile on her face.
“Let’s see. You have a higher pitch in your voice, I could technically see the huge blush in your face.” arabella teased her friend, who she met through the clean up in Sovokia, they had automatically hit it off making them close friends. “I am going to say, either you met Emma Watson or my dear friend, you have a crush.”
“I have a boyfriend!” Catherine let out a squeal that made Arabella let out a soft laugh. The two girl laughed with each other as they continued talking to each other, Arabella noticed that Bucky was coming back so she quickly bid her farewell to her close friend.
“Hey,” Arabella became aware of how tense his body was. She stood up to come closer to stand in front of Bucky. She grabbed both of his hands and rubbed his knuckles making sure to calm him down, which it worked. He intertwined his right hand between her fingers pulling it closer to his lips where he placed a kiss on her knuckles. “Let’s go inside, Bucky.” as soon as they entered, they were met with Zemo, who had walked out the room with a towel rubbing against his wet hair.
"Well, the Wakandans are here, they want Zemo." Bucky said walking closer along side Arabella, whose eyes had grown wide with a tiny smile on her face at the thought of seeing the Wakandans again.''Bought us some more time."
"Were you followed?" Sam asked Bucky,
"No."
"How can you be so sure?" Zemo questioned him, Arabella had to admit Zemo had a point.
"Cause I know when I'm being followed." Arabella rubbed his right arm up and down, she noticed how she calmed down.
"It was sweet of you to defend me at least."
"Hey, you shut it. No one's defending you." Sam corrected Zemo "You killed Nagel."
“That wasn’t really helpful, at least for me it wasn’t” Arabella tilted her head, while giving Zemo a glare.
"Do we really have to litigate what may or may not have happened?"
"There's nothing to litigate, you straight shot the man." Sam shaked his head while looking at Zemo directly.
"Sam, Ara."Arabella turned to look at Bucky shocked, looking at his face she realized that he didn’t actually think about the nickname he just called her.
"What?" Sam asked him
"Karli bombed a GRC supply depot."
"What? What's the damage?" Arabella couldn’t help but ask Bucky, who was still looking at the phone.
"Eleven injuries, three dead." Bucky read off of the article on his phone, "They have a list of demands and are promising more attacks if those demands aren't met in fault."
"She's getting worse." Zemo pointed out the obvious "I have the will to complete this mission, do the three of you?"
"She's just a kid." Sam looked down, whispering
"You're seeing something in her that isn't there, you're clouded by it. She's a supremacist." Zemo told them as he stepped away from them "The very concept of a Super Soldier will always trouble people. It's that warped aspiration that led to Nazis, to Ultron, to the Avengers."
"Hey, those are our friends you're talking about." Sam defended
"The Avengers, not the Nazis." Arabella added, not sure if Zemo understood the first time. Bucky nodded alongside her statement.
"So, Karli is radicalized, but there has to be a peaceful way to stop her." Sam tried to explain. Arabella was starting to get tired from standing up, Bucky noticed and took her into his arms guiding her to the sofa where they both decided to cuddle in.
"The desire to become a superhuman cannot be separated from supremacist ideals. Anyone with that serum is inherently on that path. She will not stop, she will escalate until you kill her. Or she kills you." Zemo’s last word made her shiver, which made Bucky pull her more into his chest.
"The serum never corrupted Steve." Arabella mumbled against Bucky’s chest.
"Touché, but there has never been another Steve Rogers, has there?" Arabella’s eyes closed, not wanting to listen to more, her thoughts were going back to all the years and memories she had with Steve.
"Well, maybe we should give him to the Wakandans right now." Bucky suggested, Arabella let out what seemed to be breathless laughter. Bucky placed a kiss on her head, while the other two men in the room were side glancing at them.
Sam was internally loving their affection, but another part of him was disgusted at their show of affection.
Zemo’s expression was one of no emotion, however, he had a slight feeling of heartbreak inside of him. Looking at them could only remind him of what he lost, the day his wife died.
"And you'll give up your tour guide." Zemo pointed out.
"From my understanding, Donya is like a pillar of the community, right?" Sam asked "So, when I was a kid, my TT passed away.".
"Your TT?" Bucky pulled away slightly from where he had his face buried in her hair, his eyes narrowed.
Arabella leaned into his ear, “His aunt.” Bucky’s mind had to process what she said, as his thoughts were on the hot breath that he felt close to his ear.
"when I was a kid, my aunt passed away and the entire neighborhood got together for a ceremony." Sam explained. "It was like a week long. Maybe they're doing the same thing for Donya."
"Worth a shot." Arabella said looking up at Bucky’s face..
"Your TT would be proud of you." Zemo told Sam, this caused Arabella to crack a smile. Zemo then offered a type of candy "Turkish delight."
