The years since the Battle of New York have been great for Lauren and Steve. Fury has partnered them up. Natasha and Clint have been dealing with missions of their own.
The two Avengers have now moved to Washington D.C., the capital of the United States. Steve is on his daily run when he gets a text from his partner.
Mission Alert. Extraction Imminent. Meet at the curb. : )
Lauren pulls up in her black Dodge Charger, then rolls down the window.
" Hey, guys. Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is? I'm here to pick up a fossil."
"That's hilarious."
Steve walks up to the car, opens the door and sits down.
"How you doing?" The Air Force vet asks.
"Hey," Lauren responds.
"Can't run everywhere, Sam," Steve says.
" No, you can't," Same says.
" You got your seatbelt on?" Lauren asks.
" Yes, ma'am," Steve says as he buckles himself in.
" Good."
Lauren speeds off into the street, only proving that Steve needs his seatbelt.
Their mission leads them to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. On board the jet, Agent Rumlow leads the brief.
"Target is a mobile satellite launch platform, the Lemurian Star. They were sending up their last payload when pirates took them, 93 minutes ago."
"Any demands?" Steve asks.
"Billion and a half."
"Why so steep?"
"Because it's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s."
Steve sighs and looks down at Lauren.
"So it's not off-course. It's trespassing," He says.
"I'm sure they have a good reason," She responds.
"You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fury's janitor."
"Relax. It's not that complicated."
"How many pirates?"
"25. Top mercs led by this guy. George Batroc. Ex- DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's Red Notice. Before the French demobilized him, he had 36 kill missions. This guy's got a rep for maximum casualties," Rumlow says as he puts a picture of the guy on the screen.
"Hostages?" Steve asks.
"Oh, mostly techs. One officer. Jasper Sitwell. They're in the gallery," Rumlow says.
"What's Sitwell doing on a launch ship? All right, I'm gonna sweep the deck and find Batroc. Lo, you kill the engines and wait for instructions. Rumlow, you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to the life-pods, get them out. Let's move," Steve says.
