Anne, Steve, and Sharon walk through the lobby of a hotel.
"My mom tried to talk me out of enlisting, but, um, not Aunt Peggy. She bought me my first thigh holster." Sharon says.
Anne laughs.
"Very practical." Steve says.
"And stylish." Sharon adds.
"CIA has you stationed over here now?"
"In Berlin. Joint Terrorism Task Force."
"Oh that sounds fun." Anne says sarcastically.
"I know right." Sharon says and the girls laugh.
Steve nods and smiles.
"I've been meaning to ask you. When you were spying on me... us, from across the hall..." He starts.
"You mean doing my job."
"Did Peggy know?"
"She kept so many secrets. I didn't want her to have one from you. Thanks for walking me back."
Sam interrupts.
"Hey, theres something you two might want to see."
Anne and Steve look at each other and find the nearest TV.
"A bomb hidden in a news van ripped through the UN building in Vienna." A news anchor states. "More than 70 people have been injured. At least 12 are dead, including Wakanda's King T'Chaka. Officials have released a video of a suspect who they have identified as James Buchanan Barnes, the Winter Soldier. The infamous HYDRA agent, linked to numerous acts of terrorism and political assassinations."
"Oh my god..." Anne breathes.
"I have to go to work." Sharon says and sighs.
Fire crews hose down the building as a medical helicopter flies overhead.
Natasha sits next to the Prince, now King, Of Wakanda, T'challa.
"I'm very sorry."
He looks at her holding a silver ring.
"In my culture death is not the end it's more of a stepping off point. You reach out with boths hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into the green veldt where you can run forever."
"That sounds very peaceful."
"My father thought so... but I am not my father."
He slips the ring onto his finger.
"T'Challa, the task force will decide who brings in Barnes."
"Don't bother Ms. Romanoff. I'll kill him myself."
He walks away. Nats phone rings. It's Steve.
"You alright?" Steve says.
Anne and Steve sit on a bench on the side of the road watching her wearing a cap and glasses.
"Ah, yeah, thanks. I got lucky. I know how much Barnes means to you both. I really do. Stay home. You'll only make this worse. For all of us. Please." Nat says as she looks around.
"Are you saying you'll arrest us?" Anne asks.
"No. Someone will if you interfere. That's how it works now."
"If he's this far gone we should be the one to brig him in." Steve says.
"Why?"
"Because we're the ones who are least likely to die trying." Anne says and hangs up the phone.
Anne and Steve walk into a bar and sit next to Sam, also wearing a cap and glasses.
"She tell you to stay out of it?" Sam asks.
"Oh you know she did." Anne says and sips some water.
"Might have a point."
"He'd do it for us." Steve says.
"Maybe in 1945. I just want to make sure we've considered all our options."
Sharon arrives and sits next to Steve.
"Tips have been pouring in since the footage went public. Everyone thinks the Winter Soldier goes to their gym. Most of it's noise, except for this." She says and slides Steve a file. "My boss expects a briefing... pretty much now so that's all the head start you're gonna get."
"Thank you, Sharon." Anne says.
"And you're gonna have to hurry. We have orders to shoot on sight."
