James POV:

Another day, another chance of catching the power broker

I peak at Sam, whose sleeping soundly, with guilt. I shouldn't have been impatient and push Cap over the edge like that

I see he also has my jacket on top of him

Oh. I gave it to him last night cause he was cold

It's the least I could do to apologize

I go over to Wilson's bedside

"Sam" I say

"What?" He sleepily replies

"Let's go"

Cap stretches, sits up, grabs the shield, and we're on our merry way

After more treacherous walking, we finally make it to Madripoor, where we suspect the power broker is

"So what's our plan?" I ask

The man doesn't answer, as he's busy fiddling with some stuff

"Wait and see this Buck" He hands me a phone, smiling

On the phone is a map of the spot we're in. I see a glowing red circle heading towards our way

Then I hear a woman's voice

"Okay, it says to go here"

The lady comes out

"Sharon?" I say

She sighs in disbelief

"Fine. You caught me. I'm the power broker"

"Why?" I question

"I was on the run for years. To keep the U.S government off my radar, I came here. Since I didn't have many options, I hired the Flag Smashers to kill you both. However, things didn't go as planned"

She keeps babbling so I punch her right in the face with my vibranium arm

"Did you just kill her?" Sam said

"No. I didn't use my full strength"

Reinforcements arrive soon. The entire swat team arrests an unconscious Sharon, taking her to the raft

We're left alone

"Using the same technique as the Flag Smashers, hm?" I grin

"Yeah. Let's get out of this toxic country"

We ask Torres for a lift as we ride out into the night
