Friendship
On the ride back to the compound Zoe knew she had tell Steve about Bucky. "Steve there is something you have to know but it's hard to say" said Zoe. Steve just looked at her "Okay is it bad?" asked Steve. Zoe closed her eye and took a deep breath " I have had this dream my whole life of a car wreck then pain and the warmth and a golden light, it was never truly clear until a about week before I return here"said Zoe. Steve tilted his head out of concern "You remember the car accident that killed Howard and you disappeared?" asked Steve. "Yes and it was no accident, Hydra sent the Winter Soldier to kill my father and stepmother and I think me as well but as he touched me...." said Zoe but before she continue Steve interrupted her "Are telling me Bucky kill Howard and his wife then tried to kill you?" asked Steve firmly as he gripped the steering wheel. Zoe just shook her head "The Winter Soldier did not Bucky he was brain washed which Hydra would activate the solider by using these nine words that would make him comply to whatever they wanted he had no control whatsoever." answered Zoe.
Steve sighed "Why didn't you say anything about this before Zoe why keep a secret?"asked Steve. Zoe "Because my brother would go crazy and try to hurt Bucky even though he is just much of a victim of Hydra as my dad and Maria and my mom and the countless others" said Zoe " I believe he was sent to kill as us all but as soon as he touched me there were flashes like memories of you and him in Brooklyn before the serum and than after you fight together to take down Hydra bases and than the train...then just pain nothing but pain" said Zoe as she shuttered at the memory. " He stopped after that like something broke the brainwashing which I believe was your friendship or the memories of it and then Hemidall came and they could have fought but they didn't Hemidall took me and Bucky took the suitcase that my dad had and just left then just blackness and no memories till a few weeks ago which I thought were just wacky dreams from watching Marvel movies late at night" said Zoe finally finishing.
Steve nodded but keep his eyes on the road "If we find him how do break the brainwashing" asked Steve. Zoe to a deep breath "I might be able to work with Tony and Bruce on things and I know having you there will help, that doesn't work there are some other sources we can try to turn to but I am not sure this source will be willing they are very cut off from the rest of the world" said Zoe. Steve gave her a quizzical look "Who or what is this source?" asked Steve. "Wakanda the place where you got the metal for your shield" replied Zoe. "We are going to be to compound soon let's keep the conversation just between us for now" said Steve. Zoe just nodded and looked out the window.
Steve parked the SUV at the compound "Hey Zoe I do want apologize again for acting like a jerk before it is just a lot to take in" said Steve quietly. Zoe nodded "Thank you for apologizing and I get where your coming from in some way or another this whole situation is a lot to take in believe me Steve" replied Zoe. They looked at each for a minute while sitting in the car Zoe heart began to race his eyes were so dang blue with just hints of green in them she could get lost those eyes for hours. Steve stuck out his hand "Can we start over and try and be friends?" asked Steve. Zoe snapped back into reality she smiled and nodded and reached forward her hand "Of course Steve" responded Zoe. His handshake was firm and his hands were slightly rough but comforting. After letting go Zoe unbuckled her seatbelt "Would you like some help taking your stuff in Zoe?" asked Steve as moving to get out of the SUV. Zoe looked at him "I can do it, you have your own stuff and it would only take two trips" replied Zoe as she open the back of the SUV to grab her purchases. "Or how about you grab some and I grab the rest and we can make it one trip and I will get my stuff later" replied Steve grabbing her record player and the books. Zoe just shook her head "You really are stubborn ass you know that"said Zoe as she grabbed her remaining bags. Steve turned to her "Well Stark stubborn or not I know for a fact that you definitely like it...what have you called ..oh yeah America's Ass" said Steve with a smirk as he walked into the compound. Leaving Zoe flabbergasted making her almost drop her bags. Steve stopped at the noise Zoe was making and turn to see her bright red and trying get her balance it made him smirk "Are you coming Zoe?" He asked winking. Zoe coughed and blushed more "Umm I am coming" she replied softly following him in.
Neither of them said anything as the took her bags to her room. Steve placed the record player and books on her desk while Zoe placed the other bags on her bed. "Thanks Steve for helping me bring those in and running errands today it was nice to get out and also to clear the air" said Zoe. Steve nodded and lean against the desk " No problem and I really do hope we can be friends from here on out Zoe" said Steve. Zoe tilted her head as she looked at Steve "Of course Steve maybe I can help you catch up on movies and music of the 21st century" said Zoe picking up some DVDs that she had bought at Walmart and moved to put them on the self. Steve smile at her "I would like that anything you would recommend first" said Steve. Zoe looked down at the copy of Land Before Time and smiled "Well we could start with this movie and have a movie night with everyone " replied Zoe waving it at him. Steve nodded went to respond but Jarvis interrupted "Mr. Rogers and Miss Stark you are being requested to the conference room at this time" said the AI. Steve sighed "Of course Jarvis right away" responded Steve. "Okay I will let the others know you are on you way" said Jarvis. Zoe set the movies down on the self and walked to the door "Shall we go see what Thor found out?" she asked. Steve took a deep breath not sure he how he would start this. Zoe saw his hesitation "Steve it's going to be okay it will be hard but we get Bucky and help him and way we can I promise" said Zoe. Steve looked into her deep brown eyes and saw hope in them and that gave him the reinsurance he needed. "Let's go get Bucky and bring him home" said Steve. Zoe smile and she followed Steve out the door.
