Ok so, sometime after the end of Civil War, Zemo gets broken out of prison. Coincidentally, Bucky has gone missing from Wakanda.
Cut to a lost HYDRA facility in the middle of nowhere. Zemo is strapped into one of the Winter Soldier chairs, disoriented, knowing that nobody is going to rescue him.
Three options for what happens next:
Option 1: Bucky is more Winter Soldier than himself, running on programming that dictates any non-HYDRA member attempting to use the Winter Soldier must be destroyed systematically and slowly. Zemo tries to recite every codeword he remembers from the book to stop Bucky, but nothing works.
Option 2: Bucky knows who he is, and uses Winter Soldier training to torture and eventually kill Zemo in vengeance for what he did in Civil War.
Option 3: (super bonus trash option) Bucky has the codebook and starts reciting the words, over and over, torturing Zemo, to make Zemo a Winter Soldier.
