Chapter 188
Maddy walked out of the bathroom wearing sweatpants and a large hoodie... she flopped onto the couch. Zemo walked towards the couch and sat down placing a wet rag over his face.
Bucky and Sam sat at the bar, drinking a glass of whiskey.
"You know the Dora's are coming for you, it could be any minute now! In fact, they are probably lurking outside," Bucky said, looking over his shoulder.
"How do I know the three of you won't leave me once we get Karil?" Zemo asked.
"Hmmm, now there's a thought," Bucky smirked.
"I prefer to keep my leverage," Zemo replied.
Suddenly Bucky walked over to Zemo, and grabbed him by the collar.... pulling him up from the couch.
"You wanna see what someone can do with leverage?" Bucky asked.
"Bucky take it easy," Maddy whispered.
"Don't engage him, Zemo! He's gonna extort you and do that head tilt thing," Sam frowned.
"I find that head tilt very HOT," Maddy laughed.
All of sudden Sam's phone goes off.
"I need to take this," Sam replied, walking away.
"You want some cherry blossom tea?" Zemo asked, looking at Maddy.
"N-No, I'm good," Maddy said.
Bucky dropped Zemo, and walked over to Maddy.... pulling her in. Her scent filled his nose, quickly calming him down.... Maddy looked over at Zemo and saw how he was studying them.
"What?" Maddy asked.
"Nothing. It's just nice to see that the beast has found his beauty," Zemo mumbled.
Bucky goes to charge at Zemo again, but Maddy grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach.... where he then froze and slowly turned to look at Maddy. Happiness filled him... as he felt his daughter moved around inside of Maddy.

As they all four walked towards the funeral, they noticed two familiar faces just up ahead. John Walker and Lemar Hoskins.
"How'd you find us?" Bucky asked.
"You really think three Avengers can walk around Latvia without drawing attention?" Lemar asked.
"No more keeping us in the dark!" John frowned.
"You could tell us why you broke him out of prison," Lemar replied.
"Well technically he did that himself," Bucky smirked.
John went to open his mouth...
"We know where Karil is," Maddy spoke up.
"Well, where?" John asked.
"Up your ass," Maddy laughed.
"Wow! Very mature... but really where is she?" John asked.
"All we know is, it's a memorial," Sam said.
"We are gonna intercept her there. That means civilians and a huge risk of casualties," Lemar replied.
"Great! We'll move in fast, take her by surprise," John smirked.
"NO! Sam and I will talk to her alone," Maddy ordered.
"I'm not gonna lose her again," John asked.
"I wasn't asking! The closest person to her just died, she's vulnerable. If there's any time to reason with her, it's now," Maddy said.
"WHAT?! NO! NO! STOP HOLD ON!" John yelled, roughly grabbing Maddy.
Bucky growled and shoved him back.
"I think we're way past reasoning with her, unless you forgot the fact she blew up a building with people still in it. Maddy, Sam, you both could walk in there cold and she could kill you," John sighed.
"If we go in hot and op goes wrong, more people will die?" Maddy asked.
John turned to Bucky.
"You're gonna let them do this? Are you gonna let your partner and wife walk into a room with a Super Soldier alone?" John asked.
"They've both dealt with a lot worse. And he's not my partner," Bucky replied.
"I use to counsel soldiers dealing with a lot of trauma, okay? This is right in my wheelhouse," Sam said.
"Yeah, I know. I know those soldiers... which is why I know this is a very bad idea," John frowned.
"WAIT, John," Lemar replied.
John turned and looked at his partner.
"If they can talk her down, it might be worth a shot," Lemar shrugged.
John rolled his eyes... and then turned towards Zemo.
"We'll deal with you later," John said.
"I'm sure it will all come to an agreeable conclusion! My associate is just up ahead," Zemo smiled, pointing to a small child who poked her head around the wall.
