The Avengers watch as Connie, now wearing her catsuit comes back to them. Bucky couldn't stop staring at her.
"What's it like out there?" Captan America asks once she approaches.
"Stark and Rhodes are waiting like vulchers, Natasha is here too." Connie informed.
"Vision?" He asks.
"Don't know where he is."
Clint chuckled, making everyone look at him. "He'll try to stop us at the last moment. Connie, you and Wanda both created that hole in the floor."
"He tried to stop us!" Connie folds her arms. "He put you in that head lock!"
Sam snorted a laugh. "So you sent Vision to the basement?"
"It was farther than that." Wanda admits, and Sam's eyes grow.
"Ooh."
"T'Challa is here too." Connie finished informing. "Hiding in the shadows."
"No doubt waiting for me." Bucky grumbled. Captain America pats his shoulder.
"Anyone else?" Steve asks, turning back to Connie.
"There's a kid in spandex here. Have no idea his identity."
Steve nods. "That'll do. Thanks Con." He looks around. "We all know what to do?" He asks, getting nods from everyone. "Then let's go."

Sam, Connie, Bucky head into one of the airport buildings. Connie breathed heavily as they walk up the escalator. "Stark had to turn everything off, didn't he?" She breathed out of breath as she follows the boys to the second floor. "That's the second damn one we had to climb."
"I told you to not power walk." Sam grins at her. "And are you really that surprised that Stark would kill power to everything we need?"
She shook her head with a shrug. "I don't know why."
"Is it safe to ask. What happened when Ultron captured you?" Sam asked, making Bucky whip his head in Connie's direction.
"What? Who captured you!?" He demands.
"Ultron. A deadly virus Stark created." She answered. "Short verson is, Ultron captured me because he wanted an audience and praise for his work."
"Audience?" Sam asked, raising his eyebrows. "That's Stark."
"I'm still confused." Bucky said. "Did he hurt you?" He reaches for her arm with his flesh hand. "If he did, I'm gonna rip that pricey fancy suit of Stark."
"Buck, calm down." Connie said calmly. "The murdering robot only wanted an audience."
Sam nods. "That's good." He turns, activating Redwing and the little drone came out of his jetpack, causing Connie to beam.
"You fixed him."
"Of course." Falcon grins as Redwing flew out of a window. "He is apart of my suit."
"What is it?" Bucky frowns.
"A miniature jet of my own creation." Sam answered with a proud smile. He activates his goggles. "This way." He takes off running.
Bucky and Connie quickly run after him. "It's a toy robot."
"Redwing is apart of the suit. It's very handy to have." She replies with a smile as they reach Sam. But suddenly something grabs Bucky's his attention.
"What the hell is that?" He asks after he saw something move across a window. Bucky grabs Connie's hand as they keep up running with Sam, who looked to see a man crawling on the glass.
"Everyone has a gimmick these days."
Suddenly Spider Man smashes through a window and kicks Falcon, sending him to the floor but the glass railing kept him from going over the edge.
"Sam!" Connie cried, as Bucky swung his metal arm and Spider Man caught it. Surprising both adults and the kid.
"Whoa, you have a metal arm?" The new arrival sounded like a middle schooler. "That is so awesome dude!"
Connie high kicked Spider Man's wrist, forcing him to break his hold on Bucky.
"Hey."- Before Spider Man could continue with his complaint, Sam tackles him and taking him flying.
"You have the right to remain silent!" Spider Man tried to place his hands on Sam's face, Sam drops him, but Spider Man was able to shoot a string and swing himself around before spraying both Sam's wrists.
"Those wings carbon fiber?"
"Is this stuff coming out of you?" Sam asks looking from one wrist to his other wrist.
"I would explain the rigidity flexibility ratio, which gotta say is awesome."
"I don't know if you've been in a fight before, but there's usually not this much talking." Sam deadpanned.
"Alright, my bad." Spider Man moves and swings to slam into Sam. Connie ran to jump in front of Sam, and Bucky jumped in front of her. "Quarter pocket!" Spider Man cheers before hitting the three. The glass breaks as the three fall through the rail and lands hard on the first floor.
Connie groans with pain before feeling a heavy weight on her, opening her eyes she blinks a few times finding Bucky on top of her. "Hi Sargent. This is too familiar." She smiles with a blush as she couldn't help the tease. "Now's not the time, and not in front of Sam. And especially not in front of the kid." She watches as Bucky blushes as he tries to look away to avoid eye contact.
"Definitely not in front of me, please!" Sam replied, then turns his attention to Spider Man.
"Guys, look. I'd love to keep this up, but I've only one job here today and I gotta impress Mr. Stark. So, I'm really sorry." Spider Man starts to shoot at them, but Sam started to communicate with Redwing and just as more web starts to fly Redwing flies in catching the string and flying off out of the window with the kid screaming.
"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bucky grumped, then looked down at Connie who raised her eyebrows. "Not that I'm complaining."
"Buck, love. I believe you've always been completely satisfied."
"Definitely mutual, sweetheart. Our very last was the night before I was shipped off, that was different … not that this is different … just … a … new timeline." Bucky awkwardly finished and trying to explain, and Connie laughed before she leaned up to kiss his stubby cheek, earning more of a blush on him.
A mischief glint appeared in Bucky's eyes as the corner of his mouth turns up. "Since we're stuck like this, should we give him a show?" He asks as he looks down at Connie, and Sam's eyes grow behind his goggles.
"You wouldn't!"
"We should wait until we're behind closed doors." Connie added, amused by Sam's horror. "Where you and I should be alone so we can do that, and talk."
Bucky deflates. "Fine."

"Hey Cap, heads up!" Scott calls, Captain America turns quickly as Scott tosses what looks like a toy tanker truck. Scott holds up a disc. "Throw it at this. Now!" Scott throws the disc and Captain America throws the toy. When the two items make contact, the truck expands into a real sized one as it flips through the air straight towards Rhodey. When the truck slams to the ground, it explodes into a fiery rage. Forcing Natasha, T'Challa and Rhodey to take cover. "Oh man, I thought t was water truck."Captain America looks at him. "Uh, sorry."
Steve shook his head and the two start running off to meet up with the others. Soon everyone starts sprinting to the Quinjet.
"Come on!" Steve gestures as Sam, Bucky and Connie reach them.
Suddenly a beam of gold energy cuts a line across the pavement, stopping the group in their tracks and look up to see Vision floating above them.
"Captain Rogers, I know you believe what you're doing is right. But for the collective good, you must surrender now." Vision floats down to stand among Stark, Rhodey, T'Challa, Natasha, and Spider Man.
Both sides stare each other down.
"What'd we do Cap?" Sam asks.
Captain America stares ahead as he answers. "We fight." He starts walking, leading his team as they approach. Soon Stark's team starts to walk as well. Soon both sides break into a run, and clashes in the middle.

Bucky struggles with Black Panther, who lands a kick to Bucky's face. Sending Bucky back into a stack of crates. Bucky picks himself up and his eyes grow wide before quickly ducking as Black Panther swipes his face with claws, Black Panther then swings at him again, this time coming too close to Bucky's throat when suddenly red energy stops him and he's suddenly flying backwards and slams into an airstare.
"Wanda!" Connie cried, racing over to her and throwing her arms around her. "Thank you, thank you!" She cried as she hugged the witch, who laughed.
"Of course, you love him, don't you?"
"With all my heart."
"Then I will do it again." That earned Wanda a tighter hug.
Connie then pulled away. "Come on, we gotta find Steve."
As she starts to follow, Wanda saw Clint getting his butt handed to him by Black Panther. "You meet up with the Captain, Clint is in trouble." She took off running in Clint's direction.
Connie turns. "Hope the cat isn't out of range." She thrusts her arms out, and suddenly Black Panther was frozen in place just as he swung an attack on Clint. "Once you attack, he'll unfreeze." She told the younger woman.
Connie turns and races off, finding the Captain behind an airstaire and Bucky.
"Doll, you ok?" Bucky asked with concern.
"Yeah." She rubs her neck.
"We gotta go. That guy's probably in Siberia by now." Bucky said, taking Connie's hand as they hide behind the airstaires
"We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vision, you two get to the jet."
"No." Sam's voice is heard on the earpiece. "You need to get to the jet. You have to make it out of here."
"As much as I hate to admit it, if we're gonna win this one, some of us might have to lose it." Clint's voice came next.
"This isn't the real fight, Steve." Sam adds.
"Connie." Bucky turns to her. "You."-
"I'm not leaving you!" She cuts in, grabbing his metal arm. It surprised Bucky that she scared at all by it and she didn't seem to mind at all. "Unless Captain gives orders." At that Bucky looks at his best friend.
Steve looks back at the couple. "Alright Sam. What's the play?" He asks reluctantly.
"We need a diversion. Something big."
"I got something kinda big. But I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like hell. And if I tear myself in half, don't come back for me."
The three from the 1940's look at each other in confusion at Scott's voice. "He's gonna tear himself in half?" Bucky asks with disbelief.
"You sure about this, Scott?" Steve asks.
"Yeah. Don't get hurt." Connie added.
"Hurts just a little, like when a rubber band comes back after being stretched and hits you." Scott replied. "Thanks for the concern, Captain, and Mrs. Sargent Barnes. I do it all the time. I mean, once. In a lab. Then I passed out." He then chants to himself. "I'm the boss, I'm the boss, I'm the boss, I'm the boss … I'm the boss!"
Suddenly a giant Ant Man appears in the middle of the airport, holding Rhodey by his leg as Iron Patriate tries to fly away.
Steve, Bucky and Connie move into the open to look at the giant Scott. "Uhh." Connie starts as she hugs Bucky's metal arm as she's at a loss for words.
"Guess that's the single." Steve said.
"Way to go, Tic Tac!" Sam cheers.
Steve nods, he turns to his two old friends. "Come on."
Together the three race for the hanger where a Quinjet sat. As the three ran for it, when a beam of gold energy cuts the tower to their right in half and it collapses. Connie instantly lets go of Bucky's hand and throws her hands up to freeze the collapse.
"Whoa." Bucky lets out a whistle, he turns and his eyes grow wide. "CONNIE!" He screamed.
She spun just as Vision sends a blast at her, she goes flying backwards and slams into the ground, creating a crater when she hit the ground and continues to skid, she's quickly knocked out cold.
Steve flung his shield hard at Vision, hitting him and knocking him back as his shield comes back to him.
Clint races over to Connie. "Go!" He yells as Steve and Bucky stare at Connie in concern. "Get out of here, I got her!"
Hesitantly, Steve turns and grabs Bucky's arm. "Come on Buck, she'll be ok." He does not want to leave, but they need to focus on Siberia.
Clint pulls Connie in his arms as watches the Qunjet take off towards the sky, at the same time sirens are heard in the distance. And soon the German police are there, snatching Clint and yanking him away from Connie and put into cuffs. Some German police gingerly pick up Connie and they steady her before placing a straight jacket on her.
"Is that really necessary?" Clint demands. "She's out cold!"
