📍 Berlin, Germany | June 2016

"Great. Come on, guys, get me eyes on Barnes and the girl. Go," Everett Ross commanded.

Hearing loud alarms rang, she released a magnetic force, which interfered with the security system of the pod, making the restrain release her. Then, she began pounding her fist to the glass wall.

"FRIDAY, get me the source of that outage," Tony said.

"Sub-level 5, east wing," Sharon told Sam and Steve in the office, oblivious to T'Challa seeing them bolt out.

"What the hell is this?" Bucky asked in suspicion.

"Why don't we discuss your home? Not Romania. Certainly not Brooklyn, no. I mean, your real home," the evaluator removed his glasses then walked towards Bucky reading from the red book by torchlight.

"Желание. (Russian: Longing)"

Bucky shut his eyes close, "No." His head snapped back on his seat.

"Ржавый. (Rusted)"

"Stop," Bucky said.

"Семнадцать, (Seventeen)" the man continued.

Bucky's metal arm trembled in its restraint. "Stop, he sneered angrily.

"Рассвет. (Daybreak.)"

Bucky screamed, clenching his fist and rips free of his restraints.

"Печь. Девять. (Furnace. Nine.)"

Bucky pounded the inside of the pod.

"Добросердечный. (Benign.)" he didn't stop as Bucky punched on the glass harder.

"Возвращение на Родину. Один. Грузовой вагон. (Homecoming. One. Freight car.)"

Bucky battered the front of the pod with his metal fist and the glass screen flew clear.

The evaluator slowly rounded the pod with the book and the torch in hand. He stood before Bucky who straightened, a dark frown on his face, "Солдат? (Soldier?)"

"Я готов отвечать, (Ready to comply.)" Bucky replied.

"Mission report. December 16, 1991."

Meanwhile, Sapphire ran, opening the door of the bunker she was kept in and fought everyone who came her way.

"Sub-level 5, east wing," she heard one of the staff said earlier. She tried to get there while knocking out many agents who tried to capture her.

When Steve got to the bunker, there are many agents slumped on the floor. All of them are out cold.

"Help me. Help," the evaluator on the floor called out.

Steve found him in a heap inside the chamber, "Get up." Then he grabbed him and shoved him against the wall. "Who are you? What do you want?"

"To see an empire fall," he answered Steve.

As Sam entered, Bucky swung his fist, which smashed through the wall as Sam ducked. Bucky grabbed him by the jaw and threw him at the open pod.

Steve lurched into the fight and landed a punch which Bucky barely feels. Bucky kicked and punched him out of the chamber.

A punch from Bucky went through the elevator door. Steve blocked the next one, but the power of Bucky's fist sent Steve tumbling into the darkened elevator shaft.
