Siberia

[Steve brings his Quinjet into land besides an A.I.M quinjet on the remote icy mountain top. The jet's wings fold up beside the fuselage.

On board Bucky pulls out rack of guns labeled 'Romanoff'. He takes a light machine gun.

Bucky and Steve stand together, waiting for the exit ramp to descend.]

Steve Rogers: You remember that time we had to ride back from Rockaway Beach in the back of that freezer truck?

Bucky Barnes: Was that the time we used our train money to buy hot dogs?

Steve Rogers: You blew three bucks trying to win that stuffed bear for a redhead.

Bucky Barnes: What was her name again?

Steve Rogers: Dolores. You called her Doll.

Bucky Barnes: She's gotta be a hundred years old right now.

Steve Rogers: So are we, pal. [He clamps his hand on Bucky's shoulder.]

[Now wearing his helmet Steve walks with Bucky up to the entrance set in rock. The door is still open.]

Steve Rogers: He can't have been here more than a few hours.

Bucky Barnes: Long enough to wake them up.

[Steve leads them into the cast bunker. They travel down into the depths inside a caged elevator. it stops in the bowls of the bunker, doors slide open. Steve nods to Bucky and heaves up the cage door. Bucky readies his heavy duty machine gun and they walk along a corridor, keeping close to a wall. Bucky looks into an alcove full of junk then he and Steve move on up some stairs. At the sound of a loud thud they spin around, aiming down the corridor.]

Steve Rogers: You ready?

Bucky Barnes: Yeah.

[Double doors part, forced open by Iron Man. Steve stares in surprise. Tony walks towards Steve and Bucky and retracts the suit's helmet.]

Tony Stark: You seem a little defensive.

[Bucky keeps his gun up while Steve walks to meet Tony with his shield covering his body.]

Steve Rogers: It's been a long day.

Tony Stark: At ease, Soldier. I'm not currently after you.

Steve Rogers: Then why are you here?

Tony Stark: Could be your story's not so crazy. Maybe. Ross has no idea I'm here. I'd like to keep it that way. Otherwise, I gotta arrest myself.

Steve Rogers: Well, that sounds like a lot of paperwork. [He lowers his shield.] It's good to see you, Tony.

Tony Stark: You too, Cap. [to Bucky] Hey, Manchurian Candidate, you're killing me. There's a truce here. You can drop . . . [Steve signs Bucky to lower his weapon and he does.]

[the three of them cautiously walk along a corridor. T'Challa in his Black Panther Suit is hiding around a corner, watching them.]

[With his helmet and face plate reengaged Iron Man leads Steve and Bucky towards the enormous chamber with the capsules standing in it.]

Tony Stark: I got heat signatures.

Steve Rogers: How many?

Tony Stark: Uh, one.

[As they enter the vast chamber the lights come on. Hazy, yellow mist descends within the capsules. As well as Josef, each one contains an enhanced soldier from the 1991 experiment. Steve and the others look around, bewildered.]

MODOK: [on speaker] So, there heroes have reunited, adorable.

Bucky Barnes: What the hell?

Steve Rogers: That voice…. George.

MODOK: DON'T CALL ME THAT! George failed, MODOK won't, we can't cure this, or what we've become.

Steve Rogers: What are you saying?

MODOK: Power cannot be controlled. I know that now. It has to be destroyed.

Steve Rogers: No.

MODOK: Our sacrifice will be remembered Captain. Gone are the days of heroes and super soldiers. Only Adaptoids.

Tony Stark: I'm betting I could beat that.

MODOK: Oh, I'm sure you think you could, Stark. But it is impossible.

Bucky Barnes: Where are the winter soldiers?

MODOK: Dead, they served their purpose. They gave the Adaptoids life. Their sacrifices along with the others who have passed have died for the greater good.

Steve Rogers: You killed innocent people in Vienna just to bring us here? [Black Panther watches from the shadows. Steve shouts at MODOK.]

MODOK: You were never meant to be here Captain.

Steve Rogers: Then why did you try to kill us.

MODOK: I never wanted you to die Rogers. I only wanted the world to not need you.

Steve Rogers: It's not about need. It's about hope.

MODOK: Then I hope the world will be a better place because of what I've done.

[Then the floor started to part, the heroes moved away, only to see something rising from the pit. It was none other than MODOK himself.]
