It’s time, James.

Summary:

This started as a Chat Story between Zemo and James. Zemo broke out of Prison. Sam and the rest of the world aren’t happy about it and Sam thinks it was "Bucky", who’s sick of being a footnote in another Captain America’s story.

(EDIT: Bear with me while I try to make a full story out of this after there were requests for me to do so.)

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Zemo: Hello, James. I see you have been informed about my absence from the raft.

James: Cut the bullshit, Zemo. Where the hell are you?

Zemo is typing…

Zemo: I cannot help but notice that you seem upset about the situation. I was under the impression, that we came to the conclusion, that the both of us hold no grudges against the other?

James is typing…

James: Sam thinks I broke you out.

James: He came to my apartment. In civilian. With a gun. Flinched when I moved on my own damn couch.

Zemo is typing…

Zemo: You think he will voice his concerns in front of the Government.

James: Yes.

Zemo: I suspect you feel offended by this? You should. However, I cannot tell you my whereabouts. Then you would really be involved in this.

Zemo: Unless you decide to join me.

James: Why would I do that?

Zemo: Aren’t you tired of pretending, James?

Zemo: There is a reasoning behind me calling you 'James' instead of Bucky.

Zemo: "Bucky" never came back. After 70 years of Trauma, Torture and Brainwashing, he simply cannot have survived.

James: What are you planning?

Zemo: I've said it before, James. I want to see an empire fall. This time however, my anger is not pointed towards the Avengers. There are still HYDRA cells out there. I know you are aware of that. But no one cares about HYDRA in the aftermath of the Blip. They will regain their strength and come back worse than before.

Zemo: Don’t you want to get revenge on those who have wronged you? You said you were making amends, when in reality you were avenging.

Zemo: No one bothers to help you get closure. No one stands up for you.

Zemo: It’s time, James. It’s time someone does it.

James: You’re gonna get rid of the HYDRA cells. To stop HYDRA, or to get revenge in my stead?

Zemo: A little bit of both, James.

Notes:

If this gets a bit of attention, i might make a real Story out of this. Tell me if you’d like that.

(EDIT: I’m working on it guys but I’ll need to plan it out a little bit more. Don’t wanna head dive into this with no planning-)
