The Avengers were sitting around the common room when Tony came speeding in, his eyes blown wide as his hands moved around frantically.

"So, remember when we said it'd be easy to track down the three musketeers?" He asked. The man barley let them nod their heads before he was talking again, "Well take a look at this. They made a bit more than a mess." He said as he had Friday pull up a news report on the tv screen about an attack that happened in Germany not an hour ago.

After they got done watching the report, Friday shut off the tv and plunged the room into silence.

"This is more serious than we thought. If there are super soldiers on the loose, they may need our help. We have to try and find them." Steve was the first one to speak as he stood up from his place on the couch, Sharon not far behind him.

"I've got a couple old contacts who are keeping a low profile in Madripoor. I'll see if they can help us at all." Sharon offered getting nods of approval from everyone else.

"Sounds good, stay safe." Steve said. She smiled at him before she leaned forward and kissed him once on the lips before turning and walking out the room.

"The rest of us will keep trying to contact them at any means possible. Find some way to get them an encrypted message, I don't care how, just try and contact that jet." Steve said the last part to Tony, getting a nod from the genius in return as he walked back out the room towards his lab.

"Nat, Yelena, I'm sure you also have contacts that you can use to try and find them." Steve said getting smirks in return from the two spies which was an answer in itself.

"Alright, let's go find them." Steve said as the rest of the team walked out of the room.

Except for two members.

"What's wrong?" Gwen asked her girlfriend who was looking out the window with a frown across her face.

"Somethings wrong. It's not like Peter to act like this." Ana said.

"Maybe he's just worried."

Ana shook her head, "No, I've seen him worried before. He's frantic now, whatever is happening he doesn't want us figuring it out."

Gwen bit her lip, "You really think it's that bad?"

"I know our brother, I know this side of him. He's struggling, trying to cover his tracks before we figure him out."

"What're we gonna do about it then? I mean, the others aren't suspicious."

"No they're not, because they didn't grow up with him. They don't know how this side of Peter works, we do."

"Well, you know this side better then I do." Gwen pointed out.

"Yeah but you know what I'm saying."

"I do...But you still didn't answer my first question. What're we gonna do?" Gwen reiterated as she wrapped her arms around Ana's waist.

Ana smirked, "We, are gonna find out what our dear brother is hiding from us."

Bucky, Sam and Peter walked through the Berlin prison with the security guard as he lead them to where Zemo was being held.

At the end of the hallway, the security guard stopped in front of the door and turned to them, "He's in there."

Peter nodded, "Just give us a minute yeah?" He asked getting a nod in return.

When they were alone, Peter turned to look at the other two with him, "Alright, I'm gonna go in there and see if I can get any info out of him."

"Like hell you are, you both are ex hydra..."

"Technically I'm ex Red Room"

"...if anyones going into that room to speak to Mr head tilt, it's me." Sam said, completely ignoring Peter's interruption.

The spider shook his head though, "You're an Avenger and Barnes doesn't really have a good track record with the man. I'll go in." Peter pointed out.

"He's right Sam, it's probably the best choice we have at the moment." Bucky said before Sam could say anything else.

"Unbelievable." Sam scoffed, "I can't believe we're actually going through with this shit."

"It's our only chance." Peter said, hoping they didn't see through his facade. He didn't need them to start asking questions.

He knew where they needed to go, and he had a pretty good feeling that Zemo was going to point them in the same direction, since Selby and him had some sort of friendship before he had got thrown into jail.

But he had a part to play, so he had to make sure he acted normal.

Sam clicked his tongue and shook his head before he huffed, "Fine, you have five minutes before I'm barging in there, yeah?" He said, getting a nod from the spider.

"Sounds fair." He said as he walked over to the door where the guard was waiting for him. He nodded and allowed the man to lead him into the room where there was another security door. The man said a code to the camera in the top corner of the room and it opened up for the young man to walk through.

As soon as he was in the next room, the door behind him closed and he had a full view of the cell in front of him and the man sitting on the bed, waiting.

"Spider." Zemo said as he looked the young man up and down before getting off of his bed and walking towards the glass wall separating the two.

"Baron." Spider nodded, his calculating gaze sweeping over the man in the cell.

"It's been awhile since I've seen you." He said.

"You only saw me once." Peter pointed out.

"Doesn't matter, I've read all Hydra's files they had on you, about your parents. Or more specifically, your father." He said causing Peter to glare.

"Watch it Baron, you don't want to say something that you'll regret later on." Peter scowled, the man thought he was clever by bringing up his asshole of a father? Well he'd have to try harder than that.

"Even after all these years of trying to do better, I can still see something in you. Something dark. Unlike your friend Barnes though, you were conscious for most of your imprisonment."

"Yeah, well it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows during that time." Peter deadpanned.

"For what it's worth, I'm sorry you had to go through that at such a young age, losing your mother like that, tragic really. Like you said though, I only ever saw you that one time, and we didn't really have time to chat back then."

Peter scoffed, "Enough of these games Zemo, there's a super soldier serum out there, eight people have already taken it." He said, definitely catching the man's attention.

"You are assuming HYDRA has something to do with this, which is why you came to me, which means you are desperate. Luckily for you, I know where to begin." Zemo stated which made Peter internally smirk.

The Spider was not desperate, he just needed to play his part...

Peter looked the man up and down but his eyes caught something on the man's bedside table. There was a book that was very familiar but he could see something glint in the book, marking the man's page.

"What's that book you're reading?" He said pointedly, gesturing to the book.

Zemo looked at him one last time before walking back to the book and showing him the cover, "Machiavelli." He said, opening the book to his page which showed off his bookmark.

Which was a guard keycard...

There was only one way to play this and Peter knew he'd have to break the man out of jail. It wouldn't be that hard, the difficult part was already done, but his family was definitely not going to be happy about it.

Especially the ones in Wakanda...

Peter hummed and clicked his tongue before he slightly nodded his head. There was barely any movement and if you weren't looking for it, then you wouldn't have been able to see it.

"Garage, two miles south." He whispered before he left the room, trusting the man would go to the place he asked if he didn't want to be hunted down.

What the fuck did he just get himself into?

————

"What are you talking about? You wanna break Zemo outta jail? That's not really the smartest plan kid." Sam said as they walked into the garage two miles away from the prison, exactly where Peter had told Zemo to meet them.

"I mean, I hate to admit it, buts it's not a bad idea. We have no leads, no moves, nothing. If he's with us, we can watch him and get his information at the same time." Bucky said

"What we have is one of the most dangerous men in the world behind bars." Sam scoffed.

"We also have eight Super Soldiers that are loose." Peter pointed out.

"Zemo's gonna mess with our minds. Especially yours." He said, gesturing to Barnes, "No offense."

"Offense." Bucky glared.

"Look, Super Soldiers go against everything he believes in Sam. I know he's crazy, but he still has a code." Peter said while turning on the lights to the building before he turns back to look at the man.

"Well I've been on the wrong side of that code before. All of us have! He blew up the UN, killed King T'Chaka and framed Barnes for it. Did you forget that?" Sam exclaimed as he turned to look at the ex winter soldier, "You think the Wakandans forgot about it? It's a rhetorical question. They didn't."

"Sam we don't know how they're getting the serum. We don't even know how many of them there are!" Bucky said. Peter just watched the two bicker back and forth for a second before he decided he'd finally fill them in on something.

"Can I just walk you two through a hypothetical for a moment?" He asked which caused the two men to whip their heads in his direction.

Sam narrowed his eyes, "What did you do?"

"Wow, such hostility." Peter placed his metal hand on his chest, "No need to be rude Wilson."

"I know you, what did you do." Sam deadpanned.

Despite himself, Peter let a smirk slide across his face, "The weakest point in any system isn't the software or the hardware, it's the meatware, as in humans. The human element. Now, if that prison where to ever lockup, for any reason, it's nine to one, prisoners to guards. And if two prisoners start fighting, then the protocol says four guards have to respond." Peter said.

"So why would two prisoners randomly start fighting at that moment?" Sam asked suspiciously.

Peter shook his head and shrugged his shoulders with fake innocence in his eyes, "Who knows? There could be many reasons. Anyways, lockdown procedures would have to be initiated, and with all those bodies flying around left and right, it wouldn't be hard to slip down a hallway or two."

"And if the fire alarm got tripped while the prisoners were being separated.." Bucky stated, a smirk slowly starting to form on his face as well, understanding where Peter was going with this.

"Someone could use the chaos to their advantage." Peter finished.

Sam looked between both Bucky and Peter like they were complete strangers, not comprehending what he was listening to, "I don't like how casual you're both being about this. This is unnatural, especially for you Parker. Are you... And where are we, anyways? You dragged us to this old garage and..." Sam didn't even get to finish before the back door to the garage opened.

A few seconds later, Zemo walked into the room in a security guard uniform

"Whoa. Whoa, whoa."

"No, listen."

"What are you doing here?!"

"Listen Sam, I didn't tell you cause I knew you wouldn't let this happen." Peter said as the three of them started to walk towards the man.

"What did you do?" Sam hissed.

"We need him."

"You're going back to prison!" Sam exclaimed, pointing his finger at the escapee while Peter ran over and stepped in front of the man, blocking him from Zemo but before Peter could utter another word, the man in question spoke up.

"If I may..."

"No!" Both Bucky and Sam said, instantly causing the man to shut his mouth.

"Apologies." Zemo said which made Peter snort but he quickly covered it up when Sam glared at him.

"Listen to me right now, we have no other choice okay? We have to work with him or we'll never get to the bottom of this." Peter said which made Sam stop and stare into the younger man's eyes. Peter didn't know what he wanted to find but he sure hoped that this would hurry up because they had work to do.

The silence was broken by Bucky though, "When Steve refused to sign the Sokovia Accords, you backed him. You broke the law, and you stuck your neck out for me. Now Pete's asking the same from you...come on man, we're all family here, he needs our help." He said, trying to make Sam see it from a different perspective.

"I really think I'm invaluable..."

"Shut up." Sam glared over Peter's shoulder at Zemo before he turned his gaze back to Peter. He let out a breath of frustration and wiped his hand down his face before groaning.

"They're gonna kill us," He muttered under his breath which made Peter smirk before Sam shook his head and looked towards Zemo, "Okay. If we do this, you don't make a move without our permission. Understand?" He told the man. All three heroes looked at him and waited for him to answer which, wasn't long at all.

"Fair."

Sam shook his head again, "I can't believe I'm doing this. I am not, taking the blame for this when we get back."

Peter shrugged, "That's fine, I'm the one to blame for this mess anyways, it was my idea."

Sam scoffed and pointed his finger at Peter, "I hate you," then he moved his finger towards Bucky, "And I hate you even more for going along with this shit."

Both Peter and Bucky scoffed, "Rude."

Sam rolled his eyes before his gaze finally settled back in Zemo, "Okay, Zemo, where do we start?"

————

"Guys incoming call from T'Challa." Tony said, walking into the meeting room.

"Put him through." Steve said. Not a second later, a hologram of T'Challa, Shuri and their mother appeared right in front of them.

And they did not look happy.

"What's the problem? Is everything alright?" Steve asked, worried for their friends.

"I wish this wasn't a work call, but I'm afraid that something has come up." T'Challa said.

"What is it?" Natasha asked, already having a bad feeling about this.

"Twenty minutes ago, it was discovered that Zemo broke out of his jail in Berlin and is currently in the wind." He said which made the whole room who knew the man tense.

"How?" Tony asked with narrowed eyes, "That's supposed to be the most secure prison in all of Germany."

"That's what I find most interesting Stark. Not an hour before the prison break, three men walked into the building looking to talk to the man."

"Who?" Wanda asked.

"How about I show you a picture of them." T'Challa said, gesturing for his sister to bring the photo up and once she did, all of them tensed in shock.

Because standing in front of the door to Zemo's cell, was Sam, Bucky and Peter.

Before anyone could speak up though, more pictures were cycled through of them walking into the prison, talking to a security guard and even Peter, speaking alone in the man's cell, smirking at him.

"Look familiar Stark?" Shuri asked and they could here the anger in her voice.

"Wait a minute before you go blaming us, we had no idea where they went, we've been trying to track them all day! They left and stole a jet hours ago, the only thing we know is they had a fight in Germany with eight super soldiers." The genius said.

"Super soldiers?" T'Challa'a mother asked.

"Yeah, and they went of by themselves to try and deal with it. We have no idea where they are now, I swear."

"That man brought us great dishonor. Now the two people that we helped save are going behind everyone's back to break him out of prison."

"Wait T'Challa, there's something else here, something we're all missing. Peter doesn't do these types of things without reason, we have no idea what the full story is. Maybe he needs Zemo for his information." Steve said, trying to prevent them from killing his family.

"My men are already hot on his trail, they will find him and inform me. I want Zemo locked up, do I make myself clear Captain?"

"Yes, all clear over here sir."

"If Peter refuses to hand him over, we will take him from him. By any means necessary." With that said, the Wakandans were gone leaving a quiet room in their wake.

"What the fuck are they doing?" Natasha muttered under her breath after a full minute of silence.

Ana shook her head, "Something that'll make a lot of noise, that's for sure."

"Tony keep trying to track them, they need all the help they can get. Let's hope Sharon will have better luck over in Madripoor." Steve shook his head, already feeling a headache coming along.

He had no idea what their plan was, but for their own sake he prayed to god they knew what they were doing.

Because within the next twelve hours they were for sure going to be having company and if Steve has learned anything about Parker in the years he has known the kid, it was that Peter was extremely stubborn.

And if Parker needed Zemo, he'd never give him up until he was done.

At least not without a fight...
