Washington, DC, 2025

NEBULA
Greetings Sergeant Barnes
I am contacting you to inform you
I require your cybernetic arm

BUCKY BARNES
…Excuse me?
Is that some kind of threat?

NEBULA
I am prepared to barter a trade of equivalent value

BUCKY BARNES
Uh ok…
Like for your arm?

NEBULA
I can offer assassination services for the high-value target of your choice

BUCKY BARNES
Uh no thanks not necessary
Look I've been using a new one lately
You can just have the old one if you want

NEBULA
You would give it for nothing?
Because I am a highly effective agent
Your enemies would not escape me

BUCKY BARNES
I'm good on assassinations for one lifetime
Why do you want it so bad anyway

NEBULA
It is critical mission of extreme importance
It is called Christmas

BUCKY BARNES
…Ok then
Merry Christmas?

NEBULA
And to you Sergeant Barnes
