Chapter 32 - Blind Men See No Evil
Berlin, Germany
Berlin Tegel Airport
10:12 a.m.
He asked me again if you were going to be there. I said I wasn’t sure.
The line would never move. Of all times, especially now, he needed it to. It wasn’t the possibility of missing his flight—he was right on time. No, no, he held no trepidation for that thought. He kept his eyes on every moving body, his head on a constant swivel. He tried desperately to blend in, whispered to himself over and over again that his mind was playing tricks on him. He wasn’t seeing what he was seeing.
You should have seen his little face.
His mind, however, was a different, more demented story. It was a constant struggle to push back the overwhelming pain constantly tearing through his nerves, wanting, lusting to break free from the bonds Zemo had forced upon himself. At least in public. He spun his neck around, the couple behind him casting the man a waning glance before returning to their phones.
Just try, okay?
Zemo’s lower lip quivered. His palms nearly bled with how hard he clenched his fists, the whites of his knuckles clearly seen. People talked, people walked, people crowded him. People in front, people behind, people suffocating him. He kept himself tangled, forcing himself to be calm, yet the haunting chill, the possibility that he wasn’t alone kept crawling across his skin, up and down his spine. He spun around, scanned the crowds, and faced forward once more. Why wouldn’t the line move?!
I’m going to bed.
He looked to the large sign directly above the crowd, reading “Moskau/Moscow”. He looked to his plane ticket, checking for probably the twelfth time just to be sure he was in the right line for the right flight at the exact right time. He couldn’t afford to make any more mistakes, not like earlier with the crash in the center of Berlin. Zemo knew that. He kept his head forward and thought over his plan.
I love you.
He stopped thinking for a brief moment. It hurt him so much. He knew he couldn’t stop now. After everything he’s done, everything he’s done for them, everything he’s done to the Avengers, he couldn’t just stop now. And just for good measure, giving him the extra boost forward, the line moved. Zemo cast one last glance behind him, seeing the people pile forward, creating a wall. They were a sea of faces, and not one of them were staring at him.
Nothing. No devil.
With his ticket in hand, Zemo entered the gate to his flight. He never did see the blind man watching him from afar. Suit and tie, cane, bloody bruises, and dark, dark glasses.
Got a bit of a short chapter for you guys today. Next chapter will come soon, probably on Saturday. It may just be about a certain Punisher and a few certain ponies going to evaluate him.

I look forward for the Punisher's evaluation!
Well... that length was unexpected.
Uh.ohhh Zemo's gonna get it!
Holy Shit you weren't kidding about this being a short chapter
I want the crew to meet Daredevil.
That chapter was shorter than the lifespan of The Amazning Spider-Man franchise.
Moscow, Moscow, I don't know the freakin' words, I don't know the freakin' words, ahahahaha, hey!
Aw, nuts. Although, it's not like Murdock can hear the heartbeats of an entire city at once, and isolate Zemo's.
Oh, boy. That I gotta see. Good thing Fluttershy's not with them.
I question the necessity of making this it's own chapter. Oh well.
Ah but therein lies your mistake Zemo. You looked for the devil in the light. He always lurks in the shadows.
Zemo is one bad dude.
8235026 Let's see if Rarity can stand his vulgarity!
8235027 Always expect the unexpected!
8235110 The shortest I ever wrote.
8235118 They will.
8235259 I'll take that as a compliment.
8235853 This chapter is just showing that Murdock knows where Zemo is headed. It'll come up later again in the story.
8235916 And he ain't happy!
8236677 True story.
8236961 The baddest baddy that ever badded.

Frank's language is the last thing she should be worried about. His worldview is going to have them dragged down to a moral nightmarish world they might not come back from. Its right behind his will to finish the job and in front of his choose in attire.

Rarity : "How uncouth! Why, I never!"
Twilight : "Rarity! Now is not the time!"

Whatever makes you happy, man.
8235259 Oooo...😗Burn...
That was short...
Man Daredevil is getting to Zemo. That might make Zemo even more dangerous. Though at least Daredevil on his tail.
"Got a bit of a short chapter for you guys today. Next chapter will come soon, probably on Saturday. It may just be about a certain Punisher and a few certain ponies going to evaluate him"
Hmm not sure about this. I get the Punisher needs to get in on the fight, but I don't really see the ponies or even Tony wanting a gun toting maniac on their side. After all they don't want anyone dead. At least not yet with Tony. I think even if there desperate they wouldn't want him joining them.
For Zemo, once his mind is set on accomplishing what needs to be done there is no turning back for him (Even if there was still a chance he could've really thought this through). But if the other Avengers won't be able to stop Zemo from the inevitable circumstance of what's bound to happen, there's the 'slightest' chance that perhaps Daredevil himself might 'try' to have Zemo see things differently. Though something tells me that guy won't go down without a struggle.
Wow, Daredevil is persistent. Zemo’s never going to shake him.
