Those of the team going to Budapest flew in the quinjet. It was a long, tension-filled flight. For most of it, Steve paced. Bucky eventually got him to sit, but it didn't last long. What got him to finally stop was being threatened to be knocked out and tied to a seat.
"We're here," Clint informed after nearly nine hours. "I'll land the jet."
Steve jumped up, opened the back, and said, "Yeah, I'm not waiting."
Then, he jumped out. Bucky just shook his head while others looked on in shock.
"Does he always jump without thinking?" Sam asked as he got his wings ready.
"Yes," Bucky answered, donning a parachute because he wasn't jumping without one ever again, "but this is more personal."
Steve used his shield to help him glide in, landing several feet from the building Nat was hiding in. It was an old, abandoned factory that had guards patrolling it. Not suspicious at all.
He climbed up to the third-story balcony, taking out one of the men there. It took all the strength he had to not break the man's neck. Once passed out, Steve jumped to the roof and started running. He used his shield on the second guy and let it bounce off a wall to the third as he slid across the floor. He stood and grabbed the disk, replacing it on his back, his pace not stopping.
The next guy got a full-force kick that sent him over the edge of the building the ground below. The two after him tried to tag team Steve, but he took out one's feet, causing him to hit his head on the concrete, and the other got knocked out when thrown over Steve's back. The fifth guy got back up, dizzy, but Steve knocked him out. Then, number seven got knocked out with a single punch that also broke his nose.
"Why did we even come if he was going to do everything?" Sam could be heard asking over comms as most of the other team waited on the jet.
Another guy got kicked into a wall, next to an alarm, though number eight came out to buy time by attacking Steve with a knife. Steve slammed him into the ground while disarming and also knocking him out. The last guy saw the alarm and went to reach for it, only for Steve to impale his hand to the wall before also kicking him in the head.
"We're his backup," Bucky informed. "We come in when the parameter is clear."
Steve jumped into the factory courtyard as Clint inquired, "And Thor?"
Steve began taking out three more guards when Tony replied, "Still on his way. He was too angry and the lightning was a dead giveaway."
An older guard, probably one the others answered to, appeared out of the factory and went to go after Steve, who used his shield to take him out. Yet another guard appeared on Steve's right. The super soldier used his knee to knock him out but flipped him over onto his back for good measure.
"Do you think Wanda will be okay protecting Evelyn and Loki on her own?" Bruce asked, concerned.
Bucky said, "She will be fine."
Another two guards attacked Steve, who took them out with a single punch or his shield. However, they had been a distraction for one more guy to come up behind Steve with a gun aimed at his head. He was ready to pull the trigger when an arrow hit him, killing him.
Moments later, Clint landed, which meant someone else had taken over the controls of the jet. Steve was grateful to see his friend.
"About time," Steve joked.
Clint smiled and said, "Well, you know, I have to make an entrance."
Nat came out, guns pointed at her former friends. They stared her down. No one dared to get close to them, knowing that doing so could trigger her into shooting. Well, everyone but Yelena, who was getting ready to help, knowing she would be the only one Nat might listen to.
"Hello, boys," the redhead taunted.
