It was the next morning.

Ana and Natasha were waiting in the garage of the command center building in Berlin.

T'Challa and a woman walked closer.

"It's just a matter of time," T'Challa told them. "Our satellites are running facial, biometric and behavioral pattern scans."

The woman looked at Ana and Natasha. "Move, or you will be moved."

Natasha smirked.

Ana raised her eyebrows slightly.

"As entertaining as that would be..." T'Challa trailed off, nodding for the woman to go.

The woman walked away, leaving.

"You really think you can find him?" Natasha asked. 

"Our resources are considerable," T'Challa told them.

"Yeah?" Ana asked. "It took the world 70 years to find Barnes and Anders. So, you could probably do better than them by half that time."

"You know where they are?" T'Challa asked.

"I know someone who does," Natasha answered.

T'Challa looked at them curiously.

          ✯       

Bree and Bucky were parked inside the car underneath a bridge next to an older, smaller car, which Sam and Alec were sitting in.

Bree looked around the car. "If you're going for inconspicuous, I think you're missing by a landslide."

"It was the first car I could get my hands on after what happened at the Triskelion," Bucky told her. "Couldn't really seem to part with it. Besides, the Winter Soldier isn't exactly known for subtlety."

Bree chuckled. "No kidding." Bucky looked at her. Bree noticed the look. "What?"

"Just the first time in forever I've heard that," Bucky answered.

"What?" Bree asked.

"You laugh," Bucky answered.

Bree and Bucky looked at each other, smiling small smiles.

          ✯ 

Sharon pulled over in front of the two cars, getting out, walking toward the trunk.

Steve walked closer.       

"I'm not sure you guys understand the concept of getaway cars," Sharon told him.

"Bucky likes his car, and our car's low profile," Steve told her.

Sharon opened her truck. "Good, 'cause this stuff tends to draw a crowd."

Steve's suit and shield, Bree's suit and staff, and Sam's suit and wings were inside the trunk.

          ✯ 

In the smaller car, Sam was sitting in the passenger seat.

Alec was sitting in the backseat. "Can you move your seat up?"

"No," Sam answered.

Alec looked away.

          ✯       

Outside, Steve looked at Sharon. "I owe you again."

Sharon tilted her head, nodding. "I'm keeping a list."

          ✯       

In the smaller car, Alec slid over to the middle of the backseat to give himself some room.

          ✯ 

Outside, Steve and Sharon looked into Sharon's truck at their gear.

"They're going to come looking for you," Steve told her.

Sharon nodded. "I know."

"Thank you, Sharon," Steve told her. 

They looked at each other for a moment, kissing sweetly and slowly, pulling away.

"That was..." Sharon trailed off.

"Late," Steve told her.

Sharon smiled. "Damn right. I should go."

Steve nodded. "Okay."

Sharon walked away, leaving.

Steve smiled to himself.

          ✯       

In the smaller car, Sam and Alec had been watching, smirking, nodding in approval.

          ✯ 

In Bucky's car, Bree noticed Sam and Alec's reactions, looking at Bucky.

Bucky was smirking, nodding in approval.

Bree chuckled, shaking her head, looking away.

       ✯

The smaller car and Bucky's car pulled up to a van at the airport in the car park.

Steve, Sam, Alec, Bree and Bucky got out of the cars.

Clint, Tatiana and Wanda got out of the white van, walking toward them.

"Clint, you know I wouldn't ask if we had any other choice," Steve told him.

Clint and Steve shook hands.

"Hey, man, you're doing me a favor," Clint told him. "Besides, Hydra's brainwashees?" He looked at Tatiana. "I've had a history saving people just like them. Natasha and Ana think they're doing is right because if they go about this the government's way, they can at least lock your friends up instead of killing them. But they don't deserve to be locked up when this was done to them."

Bree walked closer, looking at Wanda. "Thanks for having our back."

Wanda looked at Clint, using his words from the night before. "It was time to get off my ass."

"What about our other recruit?" Steve asked.

Tatiana walked toward the van. "He's ready to go." She opened the door, revealing Scott Lang / Ant Man inside, sleeping. "We got to put a little coffee in him, but..." She tapped against the van. Scott woke up. "He should be good."

Bree looked at Sam.

Sam shrugged.

Scott got out of the van. "What timezone is this?"

"Come on," Tatiana told him. "Go."

Tatiana closed the door.

Scott saw Bree, in shock, walking closer, shaking her hand. "Star Mistress."

"Mr. Lang," Bree told him.

"It's an honor," Scott told her, still shaking her hand. 

"You're shaking my hand too long," Bree told him.

Scott sidestepped to stand next to Bree, an arm around her. "I can do something else with my hands. Wow. This is awesome. Star Mistress. This is great. Look, I want to say, I know you know a lot of super people, so... thanks for thinking of me. You know, it's an honor to be thought of by Bree Rogers when a lot of guys are thinking of her." Bree grabbed Scott's arm, taking it off her, twisting it back to make him let go and give him slight discomfort, but not enough to actually hurt him. "Ow. Jeez."

The others smirked in amusement. 

"I told you that was what was gonna happen, tic-tac," Sam told him. "Didn't I?"

Bree started to walk past Alec and Steve toward Bucky and his car.

Alec smirked, giving Bree a high five. 

Scott walked toward Sam. "Good to see you. Look. What happened last time was a--"

"It was a great audition, but it'll--it'll never happen again," Sam told him.

Bree stopped next to Bucky and the car, leaning against it.

Bucky smiled a small smile, shaking his head.

"What?" Bree asked innocently.

Bucky chuckled. "That's my girl."

"Well, you can't be more right," Bree told him. Bucky looked at her curiously. "I'm only your girl." Bucky smiled a small smile. Bree smiled, looking up at him. Bucky placed a hand his hand on her cheek, kissing her softly. Bree savored the kiss for a long moment, pulling away, keeping her eyes closed, sighing contently. "That was worth the wait. But I hate waiting."

Bucky chuckled, pulling Bree closer. They kissed slowly, more passionately.

The others started to clap.

Tatiana cheered.

Bree and Bucky pulled away, smiling.

Bree turned her head away into Bucky's chest.

Steve gave them a thumbs up.

"Get embarrassed easily, huh, Bree?" Alec asked. "I mean, damn."

"Uh, Bree doesn't like that kind of language," Tatiana told him.

Bree looked up. "You know what, Tatiana?" Tatiana, Clint and Steve smiled. "Are we seriously still on that?"

Sam chuckled.

Wanda, Scott, Alec and Bucky were confused.

"It's an inside joke," Clint told them. "Long story."

Steve chuckled, shaking his head, turning to Scott. "Did Sam tell you what we're up against?"

"Something about some... psycho assassins," Scott told them.

"We're outside the law on this one," Steve told him. "So, if you come with us, you're a wanted man."

"Yeah, well, what else is new?" Scott asked.

"We should get moving," Alec told them.

"I got a chopper lined up," Clint told them.

They heard an alarm go off in the distance.

Man: (on PA) "This is an emergency announcement. All passengers, please leave the airport immediately."

"They're evacuating the airport," Bucky told them.

"Starks," Sam told them.

"Starks?" Scott repeated.

Steve sighed. "Suit up."

          ✯ 

Bree:

Jax:

Ana:

Tatiana:

Alec:

Steve and Bree were suited up, walking out into the open, running toward a helicopter.

A device was shot into the helicopter, disabling it.

Tony and Jax flew closer, landing on the ground in front of them.

"Wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport," Jax told them. The mask pulled off his head. He looked at Tony. "Don't you just feel weird?"

Tony let the mask pull back off his head. "Definitely weird."

"Hear us out, guys," Steve told them. "The doctor, the psychiatrist, he's behind all of this." T'Challa was suited up, running closer, stopping some distance away. Steve nodded to him. "Your highness."

"Captain," T'Challa told him. "Mistress."

"Anyway, Ross gave us 36 hours to bring you in," Tony told them. "That was 24 hours ago. Can you help your friends out?"

"You're after the wrong guys," Bree told them.

"Your judgment is askew," Tony told them. "Your war buddy killed innocent people yesterday."

"And there are five more Super Soldiers just like Dark Shadow and Winter Soldier," Bree told them. "We can't let the doctor find them first. We can't."

Natasha and Ana walked closer.

"Guys," Natasha told them. "You know what's about to happen. Do you really want to punch your way out of this one?"

Tatiana walked closer. "Since when are we trying to kill the people that we're trying to save? Or turn them over to the people that started all of this?" Natasha and Ana looked at her. "You know that this isn't their fault. They're just like we used to be."

"Don't make this personal," Ana told her.

"So, if you were still with Hydra, and you were trying to get out of doing something that they wanted you to do that you didn't want to, would you kill yourselves or hand yourselves over?" Tatiana asked. "Or wait to be saved?"

Natasha and Ana didn't answer, looking guilty.

"All right, I've run out of patience," Jax told them. "Underoos!"

Webbing was shot into Steve's shield and Bree's staff, taking them away from them. Webbing was scattered around their hands.

Peter was suited up in a new and improved suit, landing on a nearby truck in a crouch, holding the shield in one hand and the staff in the other.

"Nice job, kid," Tony told him.

"Thanks," Peter told them. "Well, I could've stuck the landing a little better. It's... just the new suit... Well, it's nothing. It's--it's perfect. Thank you."

"Yeah, we don't really need to start a conversation," Jax told him.

"Okay," Peter told them. "Captain. Mistress. Tarantula. Big fan. I'm Spider Man."

"Yeah, we'll talk about it later," Jax told him. "Just..."

Peter waved. "Hey, everyone."

"Good job," Jax told him.

Bree looked at Tony and Jax. "You've been busy."

Tony gave Steve, Bree and Tatiana a look. "And you've been complete idiots." He looked at Tatiana. "Dragging in Clint. Rescuing Wanda from a place she doesn't even want to leave. A safe place." Tatiana rolled her eyes, opening her mouth to speak. Tony cut her off. "I'm trying to keep..." He sighed. "I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart."

"You did that when you signed," Steve told them.

"All right, I'm done," Tony told them. "You're gonna turn Anders and Barnes over, and you're gonna come with us. Now. Because it's us. We're squaded JSOC, guys, with no compunction about being impolite. Come on."

"We found it," Sam told them. Sam was using his device to scan the place for the jet. "The quinjet's in hanger five, north runway."

Bree turned to Tatiana, raising her wrists.

Tatiana drew her crossbow, shooting an arrow through the webbing on Bree's wrists to cut her free.

Steve raised his wrists over his head.

Clint shot an arrow through the webbing on Steve's wrists to cut him free.

Tony and Jax made their helmets and masks close over their heads.

"All right, Lang," Steve told him.

Scott was miniaturized on Steve's shield.

"Hey, guys," Peter told them. "Something--"

Scott returned to full size, kicking Peter in the head, making him fall and drop the shield and staff, catching them as they fell.

Rhodey flew closer. "Whoa. What--what the hell was that?"

Scott handed the shield and staff to Steve and Bree. "I believe these are yours."

"Oh, great," Jax told them sarcastically. 

Tony used his suit to search the airport. "All right, there's two on the parking deck. One of them is Maximoff. I'm going to grab her." He flew into the sky. "Jax, you want to take Star Cap?"

Rhodey overlooked the airport. "Got three in the terminal. Wilson, Barnes and Anders."

"Anders and Barnes are mine," T'Challa told them, running toward the terminal.

Bree ran after T'Challa.

Steve threw his shield toward Jax. 

Jax caught the shield. 

"Hey, Jax, what should I do?" Peter asked.

"What we discussed," Jax answered. "Keep your distance. Web them up."

"Okay, copy that," Peter told him, using the webs to pull himself toward the terminal.

Jax threw the shield into Steve's stomach, making him fall.

Bree caught up to T'Challa, hitting him in the head with her staff. T'Challa turned to her, trying to punch her. Bree ducked, pushing the staff against him, flipping him to the ground, making him roll away.

T'Challa sat up in a crouch. "Move, Mistress." He stood. "I won't ask a second time."

"Then don't ask," Bree told him.

T'Challa jumped up, spinning to try and kick Bree.  Bree ducked. T'Challa landed on the ground in front of her. Bree hit him in the head with her staff, making him fall.

Scott looked at Natasha. "Look, I really don't want to hurt you."

"I wouldn't stress about it," Natasha told him, kicking Scott in the crotch, grabbing his arm, turning to flip him to the ground.

Scott miniaturized himself onto Natasha's wrist, flipping her to the ground, pulling her along the ground. Natasha used a shocking device to throw him off her, making him fall.

Ana looked at Tatiana. "You're making a mistake."

Tatiana tilted her head. "At least I'm not being hypocritical."

Ana punched Tatiana in the face, trying to punch her again. Tatiana ducked, sliding past Ana over the ground, turning back, crouched to the ground. Ana ran closer. Tatiana jumped up, wrapping her legs around her neck, flipping her to the ground.

        ✯     

Sam, Alec and Bucky were running through the terminal of the airport.

Peter was crawling along the glass outside.

"What the hell is that?" Alec asked.

"Everyone's got a gimmick now," Sam told them.

Peter crashed through the glass, shattering it, webbing the wall to swing closer to Alec, kicking him to the floor. He turned to Bucky. Bucky tried to punch him with his metal arm.

Peter caught his wrist. "You have a metal arm? That is awesome, dude!" Sam flew closer, grabbing Peter, flying him through the air. "You have the right to remain silent!"

Peter punched Sam in the face, making him let go, webbing himself to the ceiling so he didn't fall.

          ✯       

Clint and Wanda ran into the parking lot, toward a set of cars.

Tony flew closer, shooting grenades into the cars, making them explode.

Clint and Wanda ducked instinctively.

          ✯       

 T'Challa tried to slash into Bree with his metal claws repeatedly. Bree ducked, dodged or used her staff to deflect his moves, using the staff to hit him in the head, making him back away, flipping through the air to kick him in the face, making him fall.

          ✯       

Jax shot a light ray toward Steve. Steve raised his shield to block the move, running closer, kicking Jax back, trying to hit him with the shield. Jax raised his arm to block the move, punching Steve in the face. 

Rhodey landed on the ground behind Steve a few feet away, taking out a device. "Sorry, Cap. This won't kill you, but it ain't gonna tickle, either."

Jax kicked Steve to the ground.

Rhodey flew closer, trying to hit Steve with the device.

Steve raised his shield to block the move.

          ✯       

Tony flew toward Wanda and Clint. "Wanda I think you hurt Vision's feelings."

"You locked me in my room," Wanda told him angrily.

"Okay, first, that's an exaggeration," Tony told her. "Second, I did it to protect you." Wanda tilted her head skeptically. "Hey, Clint."

"Hey, man," Clint told him.

"Clearly retirement doesn't suit you," Tony told him. "Get tired of shooting golf?"

Clint shrugged. "Well, I played 18. I shot 18. Just can't seem to miss."

Clint tried to shoot Tony with an arrow.

Tony shot a light blast into the arrow making it burst. "Well, first time for everything."

Clint smirked. "Made you look."

Wanda used her red energy to pull the cars down from the parking garage, making them fall around Tony, pinning him to the ground.

Friday: "Multiple contusions detected."

Tony rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I detected that, too."

          ✯       

Peter was shooting webs into the ceiling of the terminal to swing along the way, landing on a ledge in the ceiling.

Sam was flying, shooting into the ledge, making it fall.

Peter shot a web into the ceiling to swing up to another ledge, sensing a crate coming at him. "Oh, God." He caught the crate. Alec ducked behind a beam. "Hey, buddy, I think you lost this!" Peter threw the crate into the beam Alec was standing behind, making him fall. Sam flew toward Peter, kicking him off the ledge. Peter shot a web into the ceiling to stay above the floor, shooting another web into Sam's wings, making him fall to the floor. Sam stood. Peter swung closer, shooting webs onto Sam's hands, pinning them to the ailing behind him. He landed on a nearby beam, hanging onto it effortlessly. "Are those wings carbon fiber?"

"Is this stuff coming out of you?" Sam replied.

"That would explain the rigidity flexibility ratio," Peter told him. "Which, gotta say, that's awesome, man."

"I don't know if you've been in a fight before, but there's usually not this much talking," Alec told him.

"All right, sorry," Peter told them. "My bad." He shot a web into the ceiling, swinging toward Alec and Sam, kicking them through the glass railing behind them, making them fall to the floor below. Bucky picked up a piece of the broken railing, throwing it into Peter's head, making him start to fall. Peter shot web into the ceiling to stay up, shooting webbing around Bucky, throwing him down to the floor next to Alec, shooting Alec with webbing to keep them detained like Sam. "Guys, look, I'd love to keep this up, but I've only got one job here today, and I gotta impress Jax and Tony Stark." Sam hit a button on his wrist device. "So, I'm really sorry." Sam's wing device flew toward Peter, catching the web on its wings. "What?"

The device flew out of the building, crashing through the glass, making it shatter, pulling Peter with it.

"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bucky asked.

Sam gave Bucky and Alec a look. "I hate you two."

          ✯       

T'Challa slashed his metal claws toward Bree. 

Bree ducked.

Bree and Steve exchanged a look from the short distance away.

Jax flew toward Steve.

Bree threw her staff to Steve. 

Steve threw his shield to Bree, catching her staff, using it to hit Jax like a baseball bat, making him fall from the sky.

Bree caught his shield using it to protect herself from T'Challa's claws. T'Challa slashed his claws into the paint of the shield.

Scott ran up to Tatiana. "Hey, Tarantula. Heads up." He handed her a toy truck, holding up a blue disk. "Throw it at this. Now!"

Scott threw the disk into the air.

Tatiana threw the truck into the disk.

The toy truck enlarged into a semi, flipping through the air.

Steve and Bree ran out of the way.

The semi truck fell toward Jax, Rhodey, Natasha, Ana and T'Challa.

Natasha and Ana ran as far away as they could.

"Oh, come on!" Jax told them.

The semi truck hit against the ground, exploding, sending Jax, Rhodey, Natasha, Ana and T'Challa falling to the ground.

"Oh, man," Scott told them. "I thought it was a water truck." Tatiana gave him a look. "Uh... sorry."

They ran off.

"All right," Rhodey told them. "Now, I'm pissed."

Jax and Rhodey stood.

Rhodey helped Natasha stand.

Jax helped Ana stand.

"Is this part of the plan?" Ana asked sarcastically.

"Well, my plan was to go easy on them," Jax told her. "You want to switch it up."

They prepared to fight even more hardcore and even more personally.
