Washington, D.C.
"I'm very sorry." Natasha said in sympathy as T'Challa mourned for his father outside the building, whole holding the king's ring.
"In my culture, death is not the end. It's more of a stepping-off point." T'Challa said. "You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekmet, they lead you into the green veldt, where you can run forever."
"That sounds very peaceful." Natasha said.
"My father thought so." T'Challa said as he put on the ring, vengeance in his eyes. "I am not my father."
"T'Challa, the government will decide who brings in Barnes." Natasha said but T'Challa glared, clenching his fist as he got up.
"Don't bother, Miss Romanoff. I'll kill him myself." T'Challa vowed before walking away.
Later, A.R.G.U.S.
"The governments want a pound of flesh, no one is going to rest until Barnes is brought in." Lyla explained.
"Or dead." Steve added, not liking it as Lyla sighed. "If he's this far gone, Director, I should be the one who'll bring him in. I'm the one least likely to die trying."
"Something doesn't add up. You guys spent two years looking for him and now he comes out to the open to bomb a conference?" Oliver pointed out.
"Someone's setting him up." Steele agreed.
Sharon Carter then entered with a file. "Tips have been pouring since that footage went public. Everybody thinks the Winter Soldier goes to their gym. Most of it's noise, except for this." She handed them the file. "You're gonna have to hurry."
"We've got orders to shoot on sight." Lyla nodded. "I'll see if I can stall them, so you can get Barnes."
Bucharest, Romania
Bucky was buying some fruit in the marketplace as he walked down the plaza before he noticed a vendor at a news stand eying him. Bucky walked over to pick a newspaper and as he read the article about the bombing, he realized that he was a wanted man.
Steve, Logan and Steele were in Bucky's apartment, where windows were covered with newspapers, while Sam, Matt and Oliver were on a stakeout.
"He's careful. I'll give him that." Steele noted as Steve picked a notebook and saw inside it notes regarding Bucky's history.
"He's trying to remember. Just like me." Logan noted, feeling a lot of sympathy for him.
"Heads-up, Cap. German Special Forces, approaching from the south." Sam called out.
"Understood." Steve said before they sensed someone behind them and turned around to face Bucky, who was eying them all warily.
"Do you know us?" Steve asked.
Bucky nodded. "You're Steve. I read about you in a museum."
"They've set up a perimeter." Sam said.
"Look, we know you're afraid, for a good reason but don't bullshit us." Logan said.
"I wasn't in D.C., I don't do that anymore." Bucky said.
"Well, those that think you did it, they want to get to you, dead or alive, they don't care." Steele said.
"That's smart. Good strategy." Bucky said as they heard footsteps.
"They're on the roof, I'm compromised." Sam said as the police was on the rooftop and he flew off.
"This doesn't have to end in a fight, Buck." Steve pleaded.
"It always ends in a fight." Bucky said.
"Five seconds." Sam said.
"You pulled me from that river. Why?" Steve demanded as Bucky took off his glove, revealing his metal arm.
"I don't know." Bucky sighed.
"Three seconds."
"Yes, you do." Steve said.
"Breach! Breach! Breach!" Sam called out as a grenade flew in through the window. Steve knocked it away and covered it with his shield to muffle the explosion.
"We need to stop them." Oliver said.
Daredevil and Green Arrow jumped down from the roof window, Daredevil kicking down the soldiers, while Green Arrow fired an arrow that exploded in a net, ensnaring them.
More soldiers tried to enter but Barry sped in and knocked them out. "Sorry."
The soldiers entered Bucky's apartment through the windows but Bucky knocked one of them out. Steve pulled a rug, knocking down another one trying to shoot him, while knocking out another one. Logan grabbed one of them and slammed him to the floor, while Steele picked the fridge door, knocking another one out.
Bucky kicked back another soldier, who entered through the balcony door.
"Buck, stop!" Steve said as he grabbed Bucky. "You're gonna kill someone."
Bucky knocked Steve down and punched through the floor next to Steve's head. "I'm not gonna kill anyone."
He pulled out a backpack and threw it out through the balcony.
More soldiers entered but Logan cut the gun of one of them and kicked him back. Steele knocked another soldier out, while Bucky slammed one of them to the bookshelf, knocking him out. Bucky picked a concrete brick as another soldier rushed at him and knocked him into the bathroom.
Oliver fired two arrows, disarming the soldiers, while Matt fired a grapnel from his billy clubs, pulling them towards him and knocking them down the stairs.
Bucky jumped down the stairs and grabbed the railing before rushing into another apartment and jumping to the rooftop, where was his backpack until Black Panther knocked him down.
Bucky engaged Black Panther as he got up, while Black Panther pulled out his claws.
"Who the hell is that?" Oliver demanded.
"I don't know." Matt said.
Bucky engaged Black Panther, who seemed to be faster and more agile than Bucky, dodging and blocking Bucky's blows and kicking him back as Bucky crashed against a vent. Bucky dodged, when Black Panther tried to stab him with his claws.
"Hey! Back off!" Oliver yelled.
Oliver dodged, when Black Panther rushed at him. Oliver blocked his claws with the bow but Black Panther was faster than Oliver, knocking him down before Matt jumped at Black Panther, knocking him down but Black Panther had managed to quickly recover his footing.
"He's good." Matt said.
Matt rushed at Black Panther but Black Panther dodged Matt's kick and blocked Oliver's strike, when Oliver swung his bow. Black Panther grabbed them both and slammed them to the ground as Oliver and Matt remembered fighting Richard Dragon, realizing the man was very skilled.
Bucky jumped off the roof, while Black Panther followed him, sliding down the wall.
"We can't let him get away!" Oliver said. "Nat, he's heading your way!"
"Got it!" Natasha said, driving a car, while Tony, Rhodey, Spider-Man and Pietro were on the road.
"They're not as fast as me." Pietro said, catching up with Bucky and Black Panther.
"Stay back, you don't know what are you getting into." Natasha ordered.
Spider-Man tried to web up Bucky but Bucky pulled the webbing and knocked Spider-Man down.
Bucky stole a motorcycle and drove away as the police was chasing him.
"I got him!" Sam spotted Bucky as Black Panther jumped on the bike. Bucky shook Black Panther off and threw an explosive on the ceiling as it collapsed but Black Panther managed to catch up with Bucky again, knocking him down before A.R.G.U.S. agents surrounded them.
"Stand down! Stand down! Now!" Rick Flag ordered as Bucky and Black Panther raised their hands in surrender and Black Panther removed his mask to reveal T'Challa's face, much to the Avengers' shock.
Elsewhere
After Zemo was done reading the Winter Soldier book, trying to get the pronunciation right, his phone went off as he answered the call.
"I have arrived. And I brought some friends." The female voice said.
"Good. Your revenge will come. Be patient. Just as me." Zemo said.
"Patience and I are old friends."
Lady Deathstrike hung up as she sharpened her claws, smirking. "This is going to be fun."
Then into the room entered a black woman in silver outfit and some device on her belt, a Caucasian woman in red outfit, red tinted glasses and wearing wrist guns and a tall man with a shield with spike in its center and razor edges.
Yes, Zemo is working with Lady Deathstrike and I think you can guess who are the other three.
So, what do you guys think?
