Mavin clutched her slim leather document case close as she was led through the halls of the Wakandan facility. She'd been brought straight there from the embassy, in order to start her new assignment right away. She wasn't sure how exactly she'd ended up on the Barnes assignment, but she did know that she was supposed to keep a close eye on everything that happened.

She gave a polite thanks to the person who led her through the halls once she was brought to the cryogenic suspension room. Then, taking a deep breath, she walked in.

Professor Xavier was already in there, with Lucy standing by him. Lucy nodded to Mavin but stayed quiet.

Steve took a deep breath and nodded to the Wakandan caretaker. "Do it." His hands clenched into fists, waiting for the chamber to open.

The med-tech nodded and began the defrosting process.

"It will take a couple of hours to bring him out safely," the med-tech said to Steve. "I will let you know when the process is nearly complete."

Steve nodded jerkily, fists still clenched.

"Captain," T'Challa greeted as he walked into the room. "Professor. Welcome. If you would follow me?"

"Of course," Xavier said, nodding. He wheeled his chair around and tilted his head a little for Lucy to follow him.

Mavin wasn't sure if she was supposed to follow, as well, so she just stayed where she was for the moment. She desperately hoped she would find a good time to relay the latest information regarding allowing Barnes to be woken up. She was certain nobody was going to like it.

T'Challa looked back at her from the doorway and inclined her head for her to follow. Best to leave the lab techs in peace to do their work.

"Thank you for responding so promptly, Professor," he said to Xavier, inclining his head. "I have heard many good things about you."

Steve actually huffed a little at the diplomacy but settled in. At least this was fairly familiar.

Mavin nodded and hurried to catch up with them.

"I must admit, I was a little surprised to receive the request," Xavier replied as he kept pace with T'Challa. "Of course, I am happy to help in any way that I can." He gestured to Lucy. "Thank you for allowing Lucy to accompany me. I believe she will be helpful, as well."

T'Challa nodded. "Of course. What have you been told about Barnes?" Because he know how much information was out there.

"Not everything, I suspect," Xavier replied. "As I understand it, I am here to assess his mental state?"

Steve stepped in again at that. "He's still Bucky," he told them "But all the programming, all the things that were done to him, are still in his head. We were hoping you could find a way to get rid of all the Hydra programming."

"I see," Xavier said. "I will certainly do everything I can."

"Speaking of," Mavin spoke up cautiously. "I was given some new information from the UN before I was sent here."

Lucy's eyebrows shot up at that. "So what's the latest from the beaurocrats?"

Steve had tensed again, since he knew quite well their opinion of Bucky.

Mavin hesitated just slightly.

"They've added a condition on to Sergeant Barnes being woken up," she said. "They're allowing it regardless, and they agree that the help from Professor Xavier is necessary. However, they want proof that he was being controlled over his career as the Winter Soldier. If sufficient proof isn't provided, then he will not be released. They'll want him contained as long as he is out of cryogenic suspension."

Steve went very still. "What."

"It makes sense, Captain," T'Challa told him. "Had I not seen the differences in him myself, I would not believe you either."

"They want a demonstration," Mavin added quietly. "As their proof. They want to witness how he was being controlled." Opening her document case, she flicked through a few pages until she found the one with the conditions outlined on it. She pulled it out and handed it over."

Steve took the paper, reading it over twice before he looked at her again.

"They won't accept no as an answer, will they." It wasn't really a question.

"Unfortunately," Mavin said. "Essentially, they said it was either that, or they lock him up."

Steve let out a short sigh. "Fine. But we're going over exactly what is going to happen, and if anything happens that is not in the plan, we're going."

Mavin pressed her lips together at that. She really didn't think he was in any sort of position to make demands, but she couldn't outright say so.

Steve noticed her look anyway and smiled grimly. "You forget," he murmured. "We can vanish again if we have to. Just because you show up and wave a paper at me doesn't mean you can make me do anything, miss."

"Oh I know I can't do anything," Mavin said mildly. "I'm just a clerk. But everyone in the world knows your face, and the only reason the UN hasn't hunted you down is because the sovereign power of Wakanda stuck his neck out for you." She looked at him. "Maybe I don't like the idea of anyone here being locked up, either."

"Really? That sounded an awful lot like a threat."

"That's enough," T'Challa growled. "From both of you." He looked at Mavin. "This is an understandably tense situation, and vague comments on what the UN may or may not do will not help anything here." He looked at Steve. "You have already made your position quite clear, Captain. No harm will come to either of you here."

Steve didn't apologize, but his shoulders did relax. A little.

Mavin took a step back, snapping her document case shut again. She had said her piece, even if it hadn't gone as planned.

Steve looked at her, still tense but no longer ready to start a fight. "I meant what I said. There will be a plan, and I will know it, because I won't have them doing anything harmful to Buck. I don't care if you think I can make demands or not."

T'Challa huffed. "Captain, there is always negotiating," he said. "There will be time for that later."

Lucy shifted her gaze to Mavin, her look quite clearly saying "Stop poking the angry super-soldier."

Mavin just opened the document case and made a couple of notes on the small pad in there. She didn't want to actually oppose Captain America, after all. Everyone was just tense. Hopefully, she would be able to find some way to work his requirements in when the time came for the demonstration the UN was demanding.
