RECONTINUED- Helmut Zemo x reader

Hypocrite

After an hour of discussing Helmut and his life, the harsh voice of Tony Stark instructed you to leave. You bid each other farewell and he watches you as you make your way to the door.

Tony eyed you up as you walk into the security room.
"So, you and Zemo?" he says abruptly.
You shoot him a glare as you hand him the bracelet back.
"I don't know" you mutter.

Tony continues to stare through the one way glass at Helmut. You stay silent for a while before looking back at Tony.
"Does he, like, live in here?" you ask.

"Where else can he go?" he responds.
You turn to think for a moment.

Why isn't he in a proper room?

"You have so many rooms here, couldn't he have one?"
Tony stares at you in disbelief before turning to walk away.

"Tony, back in England there are criminals who have done far worse things being treated better than this. Give him a bed or something for fucks sake" you say before making your way back to your room.

Several hours later your stomach started to rumble. As you stand up, you check the clock.

18:36
I need to eat!

You're heading to the kitchen when you walk right into somebody.

Bucky.

"I'm so sorry mate, I wasn't looking where I was going" you ramble. He raises his eyebrows at you before grinning at you.

"Mate? Who says that? Are you British?" he laughs out.

"I, uh, yeah. I'm from (y/county/province). Sorry if I offended you or anything." He gives you a confused look before laughing again.

"Why would that offend me? I'm Bucky, by the way. Who are you?" You are taken back by his interest in getting to know you.

"I'm (y/n), I've just joined as the new psychologist." You say with a small smile.

Bucky chuckles again and looks around.
"No way! I think we'll be meeting again sometime tomorrow!" He says with an excited look on his face.

Your stomach rumbles again.

"Oh cool. Though as you can probably hear, I'm pretty hungry so can we continue this conversation another time?" You laugh.

He grins and steps out of the way, gesturing his arms as if to lead the way.
"Of course. Have a good dinner".

You smile and nod at him.
"Alright, cheers mate."

You walk away and continue down the corridor. You hear people whispering and one set of cutlery moving around a plate. As you make your way into the kitchen, nobody even notices your presence. Only when you take a seat at the breakfast bar do people notice you.

"Excuse me, are you not even going to say hi? Introduce yourself?" you hear a female, foreign sounding voice behind you shout. Swivelling in your seat, you notice the entire Avengers team (besides two members that are supposedly somewhere in space, and Bucky).

The scraping of cutlery stops suddenly and any final, whispered conversations end.

"Hi?" You say, slightly scared from the amount of eyes boring into you.
You quickly glance around and have to double take on one person sat alone at a table.

Helmut.

Giving him a questioning look along with a small smile, you look back at the girl who seems to be getting angrier and angrier. The amount of anger filling the room begins to give you a migraine.

"So you're the little princess who convinced Tony to let this-this filth out of his room?" She says whilst gesturing to Helmut.

"I'm sorry?" You say, trying to avoid any possible conflict.

"This man almost killed us all. He deserves to be locked away for life" she says. The rest of the team exchange looks and begin to walk away from the girl who's eyes are beginning to glow red.

"Look. I understand why you'd have a problem with him but, the things that you and the rest of this team do are pretty much the same as what he did." Her whole body begins to be surrounded by a red mist and her emotions get stronger.

"What do you mean?" she asks.

You glance around the room and notice Helmut's face, painted with interest in you defending him.

"Well, he killed a HYDRA operative. You lot do that all the time. He shot a group of highly dangerous assassins; another thing you would do. He broke into a HYDRA facility, just like what the Avengers do almost daily. If he deserves to be locked up, all of you do too."

She and everybody else in the room stare at you in disbelief.

The foreign girl speaks up again.
"That's ridiculous! Do you even know what your saying?"

You nod confidently before talking.
"Yes, I do know. I'm saying that you're a hypocrite and that you have no right to be saying those sorts of things."

Helmut flashes you a grateful smile before walking into a room. His new room.

Again, a bit short but oh wellllllll
