Chapter 7: A Promise Broken
Derrick's POV
I looked out to see Tony talking with Black Widow. I walked up to here her say "I'm not the one that needs to watch their back."
I watched her walk away. I then turned to Tony.
"Now, I want my side of the bargain. Give me Anna."
"Look, the deal has changed." He said. "Ross is trying to get Queen Else's immunity revoked, so they're locking up Anna."
I immediately punched him in the face. He fell the ground.
"You told me that if I fought to bring in Rogers and Barnes, Anna would not b thrown in prison."
"Well, I'm sorry things didn't go to plan for you." Tony said.
Just then, Tony's watch went off. He tapped it twice and an image came up of a man that seemed familiar.
"What am I looking at Friday?" Tony asked.
"Priority upload from Berlin Police." Tony's AI said.
I looked at the image. "Zemo."
Tony looked at me. I shook my head.
"Take me to Anna, and ill tell you any details you want."
Tony nodded. "Fire up the chopper."
Tony and I flew over the ocean to get to the prison Anna was being kept. While we flew, Friday told us about Zemo.
"The task force called for a psychiatrist as soon as Barnes was captured. The UN dispatch Dr. Theo Broussard from Geneva within the hour. He was met by this man."
"Did you one facial recognition yet?" Tony asked.
"What do I look like?" Friday asked.
"I don't know. I've been picturing a redhead."
"You must be thinking of someone else." She said. "The fake doctor is actually Colonel Helmut Zemo."
"Sokovian Intelligence." I said after Friday said his name. "I was on an undercover mission in Sokovia when Shield fell. Zemo ran Echo Scorpion, a Sokovian covert kill squad."
Tony nodded. "What happened to the real Broussard?"
"He was found dead in a Berlin hotel room." Friday said. "Where police also found a wig and facial prosthesis approximating the appearance of one James Buchanan Barnes."
"Son of a Bitch." Tony said. "Get this to Ross."
"Yes, boss." Friday replied.
After a couple minutes, Tony started changing up the controls of the helicopter. A voice came over the radio.
"This is Raft Prison Control you are cleared for landing Mr. Stark."
A grant platform rose out of the ocean. The top hatch opened, allowing us to land.
Tony and I got out as Secretary Ross walked over to us.
"So, you got the files? Let's rewrite the satellites start facial scanning for this Zemo guy." Tony said to Ross.
"You seriously think I'm going to listen to you after that Fiasco in Leipzig. You're lucky you two aren't in these cells." Ross replied.
I followed Tony and Ross into a control room where I saw Anna with a straight jacket on.
"Now hold on." I said to Ross. "Two things. One, Anna is not insane. And two, she's apart of the royal family of Arendelle. She has immunity."
"The straight jacket is on her is to make sure she doesn't use her powers. We know. We've been fighting the Arendelle government to keep her in here. The US can only hold her for a week."
I held myself from punching Ross in the face.
Tony and I came into the cell block. There I saw Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and Anna.
Hawkeyes started clapping and shouting at Tony. I ran over to Anna.
She stared at me with hatred in her eyes.
"I don't want to talk to you." She said.
"Anna, I'm so sorry. I know that there is nothing I could do to get you forgive me. I betrayed the woman I loved. And I can never take that back. But please know, I did it to try to project you."
She was no longer glaring at me. But she stayed silent. Just then, she got up and walked over to the glass.
"Don't worry, Lark. I'm not given up on you that easily."
I smiled. "I'm going to get you out of here. I promise."
Tony tapped on my shoulder.
"Time to go."
I looked into Anna's blue eyes.
"I love you."
"I love you too." Anna said.
Tony and I left the cell block and get ready to board the chopper.
Ross came out.
"Stark did he give you anything on Rogers?"
"Nope, told me to go to hell. I'm going back to the compound instead but you can call me anytime. I'll put you on hold. I like to watch the light blink." Tony replied.
Tony shut the door to the chopper. The hatch opened up and we flew away.
Tony looked over at me. "Cover for me?"
"Of course."
Tony hit a button and left the chopper in his Iron Man suit.
"Go give him hell." I said as he flew away.
Looks like the wedding is on.
So sorry about the wait. Plan to get this story finished.
Happy Thanksgiving..
