OKAY WAIT i'm thinking once again!!! so we all know hydra was in sokovia under the cover of being shield and "helping" the citizens during the struggles. what if hydra appointed the winter soldier in novi grad, also under the guise of "being a special soldier who'll help [1/4]

the country", but he was actually there to like get access on certain targets who were living there and to feed the war. while tws was there in city, what if zemo saw him walking around multiple times? and he starts to kinda investigate him bc [2/4]

wtf dude that's a guy with a metal arm?? and helmut eventually concludes that tws belongs to a certain organization in novi grad (hydra/"shield"). [3/4]

the icing on this cake would be the zemos being a little more similar to how they are in the comics (for example helmut's father being a high-tier scientist of hydra) except that being tweaked to fit their arc in the mcu [4/4]

ok end of thread, this is just smth i was thinking abt :>
