I got woken up by a sudden shaking of the plane. I opened my eyes widely and looked around nervously. "Are we going to die?!" I asked quickly and looked at Tony who was still sitting on the other side.

"Everyone's going to die one day."

I rolled my eyes as I looked through the window. I let out a relieved breath when I realised that the reason for plane's shaking was the landing.

As Tony stood up, I did as well.

"No no no, only I'm taking off here. You are going back to New York. No discussion. And you are going to stay there" he said and gave me a warning look. Then walked out of the plane. without even saying goodbye.

"You can only wish brother..." I mumbled as I quickly ran out before the gate closed.

I had no idea where we were. I looked at my phone to see what time it was. Only 2 or 3 hours have passed which meant that we were still in Europe.

Tony was nowhere near to be seen, probably already got away by a car or something.

Quickly, I ran towards the building near by, to avoid the possibility of getting hit by a plane. There were a few direction boards in German. These narrowed down a few countries.

"Oh my god I'm so slow." I murmured, disappointed in myself and took my phone. I turned on the location just for a few seconds to see where I was.

Berlin.

No matter how much I hated to do this, I dialed Sam's number. It rang and rang and rang some more.

"Hallo?" someone, who definitely wasn't Sam, answered the phone.

"Can I please speak to Sam?" I asked as I walked through the airport.

"Who is this?" they asked, with a strong german accent.

Either it was Sam's secret identity showing or that was someone else, answering his phone. Or this idiot decided to change his number so I wouldn't be able to call him again. Honestly? I would not even be surprised if any of this scenarios turned out to be true.

I narrowed my eyebrows. "Dude, I could ask you the same question." I answered a bit annoyed as I gestured one of the airport securities to go away from me.

The person on the phone hang up.

"WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS?!" I shouted at the phone, even though I knew they won't hear me.

However, I got attention from everyone near by. Expecially the security guards who were after me even before my shouting session. At first it seemed like none of them wanted to have anything with me but since it was their job, they didn't really have a choice.

When two of them turned around for a second, I swear I could saw them playing rock, paper, scissors to decide who's going to deal with me.

I tried to leave before their playtime was over but I wasn't fast enough.

"Hello ma'am. Do you need help?" asked a man, that apparently lost.

"Hello. No. Bye!" I said quickly, gave him a quick fake smile and almost tripped as I tried to speed walk away.

"Can I see your plane ticket and identity card or passport please?" he hurried after me.

I turned around quickly, which almost made him crash in to me. I frowned my forehead. "I don't have a plane ticket."

He raised his eyebrows as he reached for something in his pocket. "Why don't you have a plane ticket?" he asked suspiciously.

"Because I don't have a plane ticket duh." I stated as if it was a logical fact.

"I'll have to ask you to step with me to the office and please prepare something that you can identify yourself with." he explained in a hurry and said something in german to other 3 security guards.

Then it hit me. I didn't have my rucksack. I must've left it ... somewhere.  Which meant that I had no documents with me. I cried on the inside as I followed the man to the office.

He gestured me to sit down as he sat on the other side of the table. I awkwardly looked around.

"Some kind of a document, please." He said and raised his hand towards me as he kept writing some kind of a document.

"About that ..." I said a bit nervously as the wheels in my head were trying to produce an idea how to save myself from this. I looked around as I saw a TV that was on. It was behind the glass wall so I couldn't hear anything. But what I saw was enough.

Quickly I ran out of the office to the TV. The security guard probably thought I was trying to run away and already stood up to run after me but then he got distracted by my little performance in front of the TV.

They were just talking about the events that happened in Bucharest as well as in Vienna and Berlin.

All this years of playing pantomime finally payed off. When I saw a picture of myself I quickly draw a square in the air around my face and then pointed at the photo, which had my name written under it.

"That's me!" I mouthed, hoping he would understand.

For some reason he turned pale as a wall and quickly called somebody.

I haven't actually done anything that bad ... have I?

Not even a minute later a woman walked towards me in a hurry. "We are so sorry for this inconvenience. We weren't informed that you are coming with your brother so there was no car waiting for you."

"No worries." I said smiling even thought I had no idea what was going on. I still decided to just run with it.

Then she showed me a way to the car which drove me through the streets of Berlin.

The car stopped and since the driver didn't say anything, just waited, I assumed that it was time to get out of the car.

I looked up and down the huge building in front of me and assumed that this is where Tony was at. And probably Steve and Sam.

And the one and only, my dear Bucky.

This was probably my last chance to help him.
