The team was in Lagos with Natasha, Wanda, and Sam. They were going after Rumlow. Wanda and Chris were sitting at a café outside of the police station.
"What do you see?" Chris asked Wanda.
"Beat cops. A small station on a quiet street. It seems like an easy target." Wanda said.
"ATM on the south corner of the block." Steve said into their ears from his observation post up in an abandoned apartment.
Steve decided to stay hidden because his uniform tends to draw more attention than everyone elses.
"That means?" Chris asked Wanda.
"Cameras." She replied.
"Good. The cross streets are both one ways."
"The escape routes will be limited."
"Rumlow isn't scared to be seen and he doesn't worry about making a mess as he tries to get out. There's a range rover up the block." Steve said.
"The red one." Chris said looking over at it.
"It's cute." Wanda said
"It's also bulletproof, Wanda." Steve said.
"Which means private security, which means guns." Natasha said from her table a few over from Wanda and Chris'.
"You guys know that I can move things with my mind." Wanda said taking a sip from her coffee.
"In this line of work, you need to constantly be aware of your surroundings, and always looking over your shoulder." Chris said stirring her tea.
"Has anyone ever told you ever told you, you're paranoid, Natasha." Sam said into their ears from his position.
"No, why? Did you hear something?" Natasha said with a smile.
"Stay focused. This is the best lead we've had on Rumlow in months." Steve said.
"If he sees us coming we know he'll engage. With him hating us and all." Sam said with a dry chuckle.
"Sam, tag that garbage truck."
"Oh, I love this improvement." Chris said with a smile.
"Yeah, anyone ready to tell me why Sam needed a new pack?" Steve said and Chris could hear the smile.
"Come on Cap, stay focused on the mission." Sam replied and the girls let out small laughs.
They all focused again and waited for Sam's scan of the garbage truck.
"The truck is at max weight and the driver is packing." Sam said.
"They're going to use it as a battery ram." Natasha said.
"Move now." Steve said.
"What?" Wanda asked.
"The police aren't the target." Steve said.
"The Institute for Infectious Diseases." Chris said and the girls sprang from their spots at the café and started running.
"Body armor, AR-15s, Seven hostiles." Steve reported being the first one there.
"Five." Sam said.
Wanda flew herself there while Natasha and Chris were still running.
"That's not even fair." Chris said to Natasha watching her fly away.
"Seriously." Natasha said smiling at her.
"Four." Sam said counting down the hostiles.
Natasha and Chris grabbed bikes to make it the rest of the way to the institute.
"Rumlow has a biological weapon." Steve said as they were reaching Rumlow's transport at the back.
"We've got it." Chris responded.
Natasha skidded to a stop and used her bike to take out one of the hostiles. Chris jumped off of her bike and ran for three of the assailants. She back kicked one in the chest knocking him into the other. She grabbed the other one's mask and pulled it off using it to hit him in the face. He fell down unconscious while the other two got up. Chris pulled off her belt and wrapped it around one of their necks and pulled tight while she kicked the other one. He tried to shoot her, but she swung his friend in front of her to use as a shield. He fell and she roundhouse kicked the shooter knocking his head into the car leaving him unconscious. Another came up behind Chris and tried to punch her. She turned grabbed his wrist with one hand and then his shoulder with the other before flipping him over and punching him in the throat. She ran for the back of the truck and as she rounded the corner she was clotheslined by Rumlow. Chris landed on the ground and Rumlow grabbed her hair and pulled her up. She tried to punch and kick him, but he either blocked it or his body armor absorbed the blows. She finally landed an uppercut to his face. He grabbed her head and slammed it against the side of the truck and then forced her inside with two other guards. He pulled the pin out of a grenade and threw it inside before closing the door. The guards came at Chris and she kicked one's head, slamming it into the ceiling knocking him out and then got up disarmed the other one and put her back to the door and him in front of her to use as a shield from the blast. The grenade went off and blast the door open sending her out onto the grass. Chris rolled on the ground coughing and Natasha ran over to her.
"Go." Chris groaned out and she ran after the other AFV Rumlow was in.
"Sam, he's in an AFV heading North." Steve strained to say.
"Got it." Sam said.
Chris got to her feet and ran along the building to Steve.
"You okay?" She asked seeing him slowly getting up.
"Yeah. Never better. You?"
"Had better days. That's for sure." She smiled at him and ran with him towards the bikes her and Natasha rode in on.
They finally made it to the market where they ditched their AFV.
"There's four. They're splitting up." Sam said.
"I'll take the left." Natasha said.
"I'll take the right." Sam responded.
Steve and Chris looked around and saw the gear lying on the ground and inside the truck.
"They ditched their gear. It's a shell game now. Bet is one of them has the payload." Steve said.
Just as they started looking around something was thrown at Steve's shield and it stuck. Steve looked down at it and then threw it in the air. It exploded and then Steve was launched forward. Chris turned towards Rumlow and threw a punch at him. He grabbed her hand and forced her to the ground. She grabbed his arm with her other hand and wrapped her legs around his arm and held on tight. He lifted her up and slammed her to the ground. Chris' grip slipped a little but she still held on. The world was starting to get fuzzy, but that wouldn't stop her just yet. He did it again and her head knocked into the ground hard and she let go. He walked away from her and she struggled to get up. The world was spinning and blurry. People were crowding around her. Chris could hear Rumlow and Steve, but they were a little way away. She finally was able to stay on her feet for more than a few seconds and tried to find them. Everything was still spinning, and she was feeling like she had a concussion, but she still had to find Steve. Chris' vision was starting to get better. She could see Steve standing over Rumlow talking. All the sudden there was a bright flash, but it didn't spread. She could tell that Wanda was trying to keep it contained in the small area. Wanda tried to contain it, but she wasn't strong enough yet. She tried to send it up into the sky, but it didn't make it high enough and instead exploded next to a building. People were screaming and there was fire everywhere. Chris looked over at Wanda and she had covered her mouth in disbelief. Chris walked over to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"Sam, we need Fire and Rescue on the south side of the building. We gotta get up there." Steve said to everyone.
"Wanda, come on. We've gotta help those that we can." Chris said to her.
