Summary
After Zemo proves capable of pulling strings from the Raft, it's agreed that he needs tighter security. Wakanda has been developing a criminal rehabilitation program, and the baron is the perfect test candidate. Removed from the rest of the world, he is well and truly confined and guarded. Wakanda is satisfied with the poetic justice that is them guarding Helmut Zemo in the end. Since it is a rehabilitation program, however, prisoners are to be granted privileges and rewards for good behavior. And, as it happens, Zemo is a model inmate. When HYDRA resurfaces, will he be able to pick up where he left off?
In search of something familiar and something else, James opens up a line of communication with Zemo. He's not quite sure yet what it all means; what expectations he or Zemo has in regards to their exchanges. But as the petty, bitter tone of his letters change and their relationship evolves, James finds himself falling head-first into something so freeing, so terrifying, he's not sure he'll ever be able to come back.
There's a switch in James' head that can be--needs to be--flipped. What happens when the Winter Soldier needs to be released back into the world, and Zemo once again holds the reins?

Summary
Zemo, released from the Wakanda rehabilitation program, and James, relatively sane, navigate through their progressing relationship and the world around them--all while heading missions to put out small fires all around the globe. They're the good guys, for once. It feels amazing.
However... someone has their eye on Captain America, and have been doing their best to not only botch his missions, but are trying to take him out of the picture entirely. With Sam's fate resting in their hands, can James and Zemo work together to finally cut the head off of the snake and keep their friend safe? Entering the world once more as Baron Helmut Zemo and his "pet psychopath" the Winter Soldier, they're about to go on the ride of their lives. Can James keep Zemo on the right path?
Moreover, can Zemo keep James from relapsing?
They say love can triumph all. They're of the firm belief that if you kick enough ass, you'll figure it out anyway.
