Bucky was heading up to the rooftop helipad. He marched up to a blue chopper and pulled the lock off the door. He got in the pilot seat. Steve rushed outside and sprinted toward the rising chopper. He leapt and grabbed the landing gear. Muscles bulging, Steve pulled hard and the chopper struggled to gain height. Steve's feet kicked for traction, then he got them flat on the helipad. The chopper dragged him onto the weak-looking mesh framing the helipad. Steve grabbed the railing with one hand and clung to the landing gear with the other.
Steve gritted his teeth and his neck strained with the incredible effort. Bucky glowered from inside the chopper, then threw the joystick left and the chopper's nose slammed into the edge of the helipad. The rotor-blades were smashed to pieces and Steve ducked as the tail swung around. The chopper laid twisted on the mesh at the edge of the pad. Steve rose beside the canopy. Bucky's arm smashed through the glass and growling, he grabbed Steve's throat. The chopper started to list over the edge. The tail broke off and fell into the river below. Bucky kept hold of Steve as the whole helicopter dropped and slammed into the river. The impact knocked Bucky and Rosie out cold and he let go of Steve. The body of the chopper sunk quickly to the riverbed along with other debris. Steve surfaced with Bucky in his arms.
AIRPORT
Zemo listened to a message from his wife. "He asked me again if you were going to be there. I said that I wasn't sure. You should've seen his little face. Just try, okay? I'm going to bed. I love you."
Frowning, Zemo ended the call. A TV news report was playing nearby.
A reporter said, "James Barnes, der mit dem Bombenanschlag auf die UN in Wien in Verbindung gebracht wird, ist heute aus der Haft entflohen. Ebenfalls vermisst werden die Avengers Captain Steve Rogers und Sam Wilson. Ebenfalls vermisst werden die Mary Winchester."
(James Barnes, the suspect in the UN Vienna bombing, escaped custody today. Also missing Avengers Captain Steve Rogers, Gianna Wood and Sam Wilson. Also missing Mary Winchester.)
Zemo eyed the TV screen. He stood in line at a departure gate. The screen above the gate read: 'Gate 06 / Berling Flughafen / AEM2103 / Moskau/Moscow'.
HUGE ABANDONED WAREHOUSE
Bucky came to with his metallic left arm clamped in a huge industrial vice. Steve peered through a gap at a chopper flying overhead. Sam and Mary were over by Bucky.
"Hey, Cap!" Sam called.
Steve went over to join Sam and Mary by Bucky who sat with his arm in the vice. They stared at them.
"Steve," Bucky said.
"Which Bucky am I talking to?" Steve asked.
"Your mom's name was Sarah... You used to wear newspapers in your shoes," Bucky said with soft chuckle.
"Can't read that in a museum."
"Just like that, we're supposed to be cool?" Sam asked.
"What did I do?" Bucky asked.
"Enough," Steve replied.
"God, I knew this would happen. Everything HYDRA put inside me is still there. All he had to do was say the goddamn words."
"Who was he?"
"I don't know."
"People are dead. The bombing, the setup. The doctor did all that just to get ten minutes with you and Mary. I need you to do better than "I don't know.""
"He wanted to know about Siberia. Where I was kept. He wanted to know exactly where."
"Why would he need to know that?"
