3rd Person's POV

At a hotel, Sharon Carter walks down the hall alongside Sammie and Steve, "My mom tried to talk me out of enlisting, but, um, not Aunt Peggy. She bought me my first thigh holster."

Steve nods smiling, "Very practical."

Sammie smirks, "And stylish."

Steve grabs Sammie's hand rubbing his thumb along the back of it. Sammie smiles lightly at him before looking towards the elevator.

Steve glances over at Sharon, "CIA has you stationed over here now?"

Nodding Sharon shrugs, "In Berlin, Joint Terrorism Task Force."

"Right. Right. Sounds fun."

"I know, right?"

Steve nods and smiles at Sharon, "I've been meaning to ask you. When you were spying on me from across the hall..."

Sammie chuckles slapping Steve's arm playfully.

Sharon smiles rolling her eyes, "You mean when I was doing my job."

"Did Peggy know?"

"She kept so many secrets. I didn't want her to have one from you."

A ding sounds through the hall as the elevator finally arrives.

Sharon hugs Sammie then shakes Steve's hand grinning, "Thanks for walking me back."

"Sure no problem at all." Sammie replies taking a step in the elevator only to be stopped by Sam's frantic voice.

"Steve. Sammie. There's something you gotta see."

A News anchor points behind them as the camera follows along showing the destruction, "A bomb hidden in a news van..."

Sharon frowns as she speaks on the phone, "Who's coordinating?"

Sammie sits rubbing Steve's thigh as she sees the distant look on his face. Sighing she watches the tv once again.

"... ripped through the UN building in Vienna. More than 70 people have been injured. At least 12 are dead, including Wakanda's King T'Chaka. Officials have released a video of a suspect who they have identified as James Buchanan Barnes, the Winter Soldier. The infamous HYDRA agent, linked to numerous acts of terrorism and political assassinations."

...

T'Challa who sits on a bench looking stunned. There's a cut on his head. Natasha sits on the next bench along.

"I'm very sorry."

T'Challa glances at her. He's holding an ornate silver ring which he toys with between his fingers.

"In my culture death is not the end. It's more of a... stepping-off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into the green veldt where... you can run forever."

Natasha nods, "That sounds very peaceful."

"My father thought so," He puts the ring on his finger, "I am not my father."

Nat frowns, "T'Challa. Task force will decide who brings in Barnes."

He clenches his fist, "Don't bother, Miss Romanoff. I'll kill him myself."

As he walks away Nat sits huffing in frustration then looks at her phone expectedly as it rings.

Steve phones Natasha as he's standing on the street in a cap and dark glasses.

"Yeah?"

"You alright?"

"Ah, yeah, thanks. I got lucky." Frowning she looks around, then stands up, "I know how much Barnes means to you. I really do. Stay home. You'll only make this worse. For all of us. Please."

"Are you saying you'll arrest me?"

Nat rubs her temple, "No. Someone will. If you interfere. That's how it works now."

"If he's this far gone, Nat, I should be the one to bring him in."

"Why?"

"Because I'm the one least likely to die trying."

Not far away Steve ends the call.

Nat looks at the phone, "Shit."

Steve approaches Sam and Sammie sitting at the counter of a coffee shop.

"She tell you to stay out of it?" Sam smirks as he pulls down his shades slightly, "Might have a point."

Steve nods firmly, "He'd do it for me."

Sam shrugs, "1945, maybe. I just want to make sure we considered all our options. The people that shoot at you usually wind up shooting at me. And they're definitely going to be shooting at her."

Steve glances over at Sammie who was preoccupied with her phone. He opens his mouth to speak but pauses as she raises up a finger to stop him.

"Don't even think you can keep me from going with you two. It will never work. Nice try." She looks up at him smiling before looking back down.

Sam chuckles as Steve makes a knowing face with a light shrug. Seconds later Sharon pops up and sits beside Sammie. She slides over a file that Sammie slyly picks up and hands to Steve.

" Tips have been pouring in since that footage went public. Everybody thinks the Winter soldier goes to their gym. Most of it's noise. Except for this. My boss expects a briefing, pretty much now... so that's all the head start you're gonna get."

Steve nods gratefully, "Thank you."

Sharon grimaces, "And you're gonna have to hurry. We have orders to shoot on sight."

...

Bucharest.

Bucky is in civvies at a fruit store. In a black cap and casual jacket Bucky walks along scanning around. Across the street he spots a twenty-something vender at a news-stand watching him. Bucky glances away, then looks back at the vender who's still watching him. The vender runs from his kiosk. Bucky goes over and picks up a paper. On the front page there are surveillance-photos of a man and the head line: 'Winter Soldier cautat pentru Bombardmentul din Viena'. Bucky glances around tensely.

In his dark blue, armored suit with his shield on his arm Steve is in a small apartment. Sammie behind him in her black slim catsuit. She almost felt like Natasha.

The two around silently, there's a mattress with disheveled covers and various bits of cheap looking furniture. The kitchen and bedroom are in the same room. Steve finds a notebook on top of the fridge. He picks it up and opens it. There are tabs of varying colors sticking out from amongst the pages.

Sam on radio speaks making Sammie stand firmly, "Heads up, you two. German Special Forces, approaching from the south."

"Understood."

Sammie feels a presence in the room. She peeks over her shoulder to see Bucky standing behind them. Quickly she pokes Steve's arm as she turns around.

"Steve..."

Steve hearing the nervousness in Sammie's voice he stands in front of her then slowly turns around to face Bucky, "Do you know me?"

Bucky stares at him.

"You're Steve. I read about you in a museum."

Bucky's eyes glance towards Sammie who peeks past Steve's shoulder. Steve clenches his fist.

"Do you know her?"

Bucky stands staring before shrugging, "I don't know."

"Hey Buster... does that ring a bell?" Sammie bites her lip in worry.

Bucky's eyes spark with recognition. He nods slowly making Sammie and Steve let out a breath of relief.

Sam's voice comes through the radio once again, "They've set the perimeter."

"I know you're nervous. And you have plenty of reason to be. But you're lying."

Bucky frowns shaking his head, "I wasn't in Vienna. I don't do that anymore."

"They're entering the building." Sam reports.

Steve stands firmly in front of Bucky holding his hands up as Sammie goes to stand by the window peeking out the glass slightly.

"Well, the people who think you did are coming here now. And they're not planning on taking you alive.
Bucky Barnes: That's smart. Good strategy."

"They're on the roof. I'm compromised." Sam replies.

Sammie can hear all the Armed cops run upstairs. She glances at the two before cracking her knuckles and watching the window intently.

"This doesn't have end in a fight, Buck."

Outside the door a cop readies a battering ram.

Bucky frowns, "It always ends in a fight."

"5 seconds."

"You pulled me from the river. Why?"

"I don't know."

"3 seconds!"

"Yes, you do."

"Breach! Breach! Breach!"

"Steve!" Sammie yells out as a grenade crashes through the window. She kicks it to Steve, and he smothers it with his shield.

A GSG-9 Soldier shuts, "Shoot the door!"

The cop slams the battering ram against the door. Bucky shields himself with the mattress against an attack from the window. Sammie blocks the door with a table as cops swing in on cables. Steve pulls the rug from under a policeman, sending him flying. Bucky slams another policeman into the wall.

"Buck, stop! You're gonna kill someone."

Bucky slams Steve down and punches a hole in the floor, "I'm not gonna kill anyone."

Sammie glances over at the two old friends before turning back to the cop that had gotten up after he was flipped off the carpet. Quickly she grabs his head and knees him in the face. He groans falling to his knees allowing her to roundhouse kick him in the head sending him immediately to the floor.

Bucky grabs a backpack from under the floorboards and throws it out of the window. Steve glances to Sammie as gunfire starts to fly.

"Sammie!"

Hearing Steve's warning Sammie holds her hands out making a shield like force field around her. Bucky and Steve get behind Steve's shield to avoid gunfire.

Bucky shoves Steve and he knocks a cop over who swung in from the window. Bucky holds up his metal hand and repells bullets, then slams a cop into shelves. Bucky picks up a large cement brick and slams it into a cop. Sammie quickly grabs Bucky's jacket and yanks him back.

"Bucky! No!"

Before she can say anything another cop makes their way over. She groans getting into a fighting stance as Bucky quickly makes his way over to the door.

Steve fights a cop on the balcony as Bucky punches through the wall beside he door. A cop descends through a sky-light on a zip wire. Bucky grabs the cop's gun and slams him into the wall. Bucky bashes a couple of cops with the battering ram. More of the police team hurry up the stairwell. Bucky jumps on the zip-line-guy and swings down a level.

"Suspect has broken containment! He's headed down the east stairwell!"

Steve grabs the radio and crushes it. Steve jumps down a level as Bucky keeps punching the cops. Bucky tosses one of them over the railing and Steve catches him, stopping the cop from falling. He looks at Bucky wearily.

"Come on, man."

Steve throws the cop up onto the landing. Bucky breaks a banister and swings down on it. Steve hurls a cop over his shoulders. Bucky lays into jet more cops and takes them out. A cop aims at Bucky and Steve knocks the gun from his hands with his shield which sticks in the wall. Bucky leaps down the stairwell and catches onto a railing. Steve pulls his shield out of the wall. Sammie runs out the apartment and grabs a tool off her belt. Quickly she attaches it to the stairwell and jumps over the railing. Sailing down a few levels she stops and swings herself of the rail.

Quickly she catches up with Steve who had been chasing Bucky. Bucky climbs up then runs along a corridor and leaps off a balcony. The two watch as he tumbles onto the lower roof of the neighboring building where he finds where his backpack. He picks it up and runs.

Suddenly a muscular man clad entirely in black, Black Panther, slams into Bucky from behind, knocking him down. He has a full face mask with pointed ears. He extends his fingers and sharp claws pop out. He attacks Bucky with sweeping kicks and slashes. Bucky fights back but is kicked into a wall. Black Panther swipes his claws and spins gracefully. Bucky narrowly avoids being slashed, he holds up a metal bar to protect himself.

Sammie and Steve give each other a confused stare then look down at the two fighting as Falcon swoops from the sky.

"Sam, southwest rooftop."

Sam frowns looking down, "Who the hell's the other guy?"

Steve sighs backing up, "About to find out."

Sammie stares at him incredulously, "I know you're not about to-"

Steve leaps from the balcony down onto the neighboring building as a chopper flies up. Sammie stares at the empty space that Steve was just standing in before looking at the roof of the neighboring building.

"I think the fuck not."

Quickly Sammie turns around and makes her way back to the stairwell running down the stairs.

Black Panther lunges at Bucky with his claws, but Bucky grabs his wrists. A soldier fires a machine gun from the chopper. The ammo bounces off Black Panther's armored suit.

Steve curses, "Sam."

"Got him." Sam flies down and shoves the chopper off course. Then swoops towards street level.

Bucky breaks free from his attacker, slings his bag on his back, runs and jumps down a level. Black Panther slides down the wall using his claws for traction. Steve follows and lands rolling along the ground. Gunfire from the chopper tears up the sidewalk. Bucky jumps down through an opening and lands in an underpass, he runs through the traffic. Black Panther and Captain America drop down and chase after Bucky. A Special Forces Vehicle pursues them.

"Stand down! Stand down!"

The vehicle closes in, blue lights flashing. Steve leaps onto the vehicle and splinters the windshield. The driver stops, Steve yanks him from the vehicle and kicks the windshield out, then drives off.

Bucky runs over the top of a speeding car, outpacing it. Black Panther is a few cars behind, keeping pace with Bucky. he leaps on the back of the 4x4 that Steve's driving. Steve swerves from side to side, trying to throw him off.

Steve groans, "I can't shake this guy."

"Right behind you." Sammie reports.

She twists the handle of the bike making the motorcycle she borrowed speed up. Several police cars join the chase. Steve side-swipes another car and drives on.

Up ahead Bucky reaches a fork in the road and faces oncoming traffic. He leaps over a barrier. Steve drives through the barrier. A motorbike speeds towards Bucky. Bucky grabs the handlebar and spins the bike around in mid air, throwing the rider off.

Bucky gets on the bike and rides away sending cars careering out of the way. Steve keeps on Bucky's tail with Black Panther holding onto the back of the 4x4. Sammie catches up passing the car Steve was in.

Sammie holds up her arm behind her and shoots out a blue large ball of energy towards the Black Panther making him swiftly duck.

They all rocket through another underpass. Sam flies into the underpass. Black Panther leaps off the front of the 4x4 onto Bucky's motorbike. Bucky flings him over his head and the bike leans down on its side. Bucky kicks his assailant away, straightens up and rides on. Black Panther catches a ride on Falcon's leg. Sam tries to kick Black Panther away.

Sammie revs up the engine of the motorcycle and quickly speeds alongside Bucky.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asks as she watches him pull out something from his bag.

Bucky ignores her and throws a sticky bomb and blows up the roof at the end of the underpass, bringing down tons of rubble. Sammie curses and turns the motorcycle sideways skidding to a stop.

Black Panther leaps off from Falcon and throws Bucky off the motorbike. Steve swerves the 4x4 through the rubble, leaps out and pulls Black Panther away from Bucky. Steve stands, facing sleek and muscular Black Panther. Sammie walks over to Sam and helps him up as Armed police arrive and surround them, guns aimed.

War Machine leaps down from above and raises both hands, "Stand down, now."

Bucky stands beside Steve who puts his shield on his back, "Congratulations, Cap. You're a criminal."

Police move in and force Bucky to his knees. Black Panther raises his hands. A cop moves Steve's arms behind his back. Black Panther retracts his claws and pulls off his mask revealing his face. It's T'Challa. Steve and Rhodes look curious.

Rhodes frowns, "Your highness."

Bucky's hauled flat on the ground. A soldier walks up to Sammie and clips a metal necklace around her neck, "Sorry ma'am we've been give orders to make sure that this doesn't leave your person until we get to Ross."

Sammie frowns jerking away from the soldier before looking at the necklace that had beeping lights all over it. This machine had Tony written all over it.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"I'm sorry ma'am I'm not supposed to answer any questions you have. Now if you would please step into the vehicle."

Sammie scoffs crossing her arms, "No I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what the hell this thing around my neck is!"

Steve and Sam freeze as they are about to get into the SUV they were escorted to as they hear Sammie yell at a soldier.

Steve yanks his arm from another soldier's grip as they go to handcuff his wrists, "Why is that thing around her neck? What's going on?"

"Ma'am please. If you don't listen I'll be forced to use this."

Sammie frowns in confusion staring at a button in the guys hand, "A button? Seriously?"

Rhodey makes his way over with an upset face, "Dylann you need to get in the car now. He won't say it again."

"No what the hell is-"

Before Sammie can say another word she falls to her knees holding her head letting out a loud wail. The necklace sends high pitched very fast frequency waves to Sammie's brain making it feel like everything was just scrambling around. The sound made her ears hurt as it rang so higher than a dog whistle, yet she was the only one who could hear it.

Steve pulls his arms from the soldier as he watches Sammie fall to the ground screaming, "Sammie?! Rhodey stop it now! Take that thing off her neck!"

Rhodey nods at the soldier who presses the button once more deactivating the necklace.

Sammie jerks her head up glaring at the two in front of her, "Take it off now..."

Rhodey shakes his head, "I'm sorry Dylann we have orders."

Sammie frowns shaking her head before lifting up her hand to try and burn the thing off. But just as her hand starts to expel the blue shocks it always did, the necklace beeps frantically then clicks as it starts to taze her.

Sammie falls back on the ground clenching her fists while gritting her teeth in pain as she's tazed. After a few seconds the necklace beeps once more and Sammie sighs but then screams once more as the necklace is activated once more with the high pitched frequencies.

Sam fights against the soldiers holding him as he watches Sammie roll to her side and rock back and forth wailing and spazzing.

The necklace deactivates again allowing Sammie to breath. She stays laying down crying to herself as her hair covers her face. Her body lets out spasms every second as her head shakes frantically. She holds her ears tightly hoping they wouldn't press the button again.

"Dylann get up and get in the car. Now. Or we'll be forced to activate the necklace again."

Dylann sobs as her heart starts to beat faster. She whimpers rocking in a cradle pose.

"Dylann you have ten seconds to stand up..."

"She can't Rhodey its the fucking necklace you put on her." Sam yells in anger as he's pushed against the SUV.

A gun is put to Steve's head as he tries to get out of three soldier's hold, "Just let us help her. She isn't in the state to get up by herself."

Rhodey shakes his head with a blank stare, "Orders are orders and you are no longer the avengers. Now you're criminals so you'll be treated like criminals. She does it by herself or the necklace activates again."

Sammie lets out another sob as she pushes up on her elbows. Her arms tremble as she lets out a shaky breath. Heaving she suddenly pukes on the ground.

"Sammie! Are you okay?" Steve goes to move again but freezes the gun clicks. Glaring at the soldiers he sighs before looking over at Sammie's shaking body as she cries while slowly trying to get up.

"Take your time doll. You're okay. Everything is okay."

Sammie holds her ears as they start to ring and her hearing begins to fade. Her vision is blurry as she holds her head slightly up to see where she's going. Slowly she makes her way to the SUV then falls to the ground unconscious just as she gets to the door.

"Sammie! Damn it Rhodey!"

Rhodey stares at Steve, "She'll be fine. Get in."

Steve glares once more before stepping into the SUV. Sam curses and sits beside Steve as the soldiers pick up Sammie's body and place her inside the car. Steve grabs Sammie and lays her body on his lap, Sam grabs her legs and allows them to be on his lap so she can lay down.

After a few minutes she finally wakes up but she doesn't answer either of them. She just lays sobbing holding her ears tightly. Every once and a while her body lets out a spasm and she lets out a whimper.

Steve sighs bending down, kissing her head lightly. He didn't like seeing her suffer. This would probably be on her list of worst things to happen. It's sad they even started making a list.
