The minute of waiting passed, and John was angrier than ever.

Marcella and Bucky let him push through. They had too, they were in no position to physically stop him with their recent pardons. Zemo had to stay handcuffed to the wall too. Lemar waited, watching them before slowly heading towards the door. He was watching John's back... not that he could actually prevent an assault from the ex-winter soldiers if he could.

Bucky followed right after but Marcella caught his arm so he'd focus on her. She whispered, as she walked, "Plan?"

"Keep an eye on John," he whispered back.

John Walker didn't know how dangerous his tendencies were. Bucky didn't trust him around Sam because Sam was trying to be the fair guy, and he didn't like the way he said Marcella's name. Like it was wrong that she was added onto the mission. Was it because of who she used to be, or misogyny? He learned about that world from Dr. Raynor. She said that a man out of his time, like him, would need to learn about these things that were addressed outwardly in the twenty-first century so that he could fix the way he himself thought about those things. Like for example, a women could be the president, not just of the bake-sale. It was supposed to be a culture shock, but he'd been living in Wakanda for a year.

"Kari Morganthau, you're under arrest!"

Bucky and Marcella stepped into the large room, into the situation.

The fiery redhead looked betrayed and angry at Sam. She called him out for his trickery to which Sam denied. He was so close to getting Karli onto a level of. understanding, Bucky could tell.

"We've had enough time to talk!" John's voice was loud, overbearing, pushing down the others. As was his presence — his personhood.

Things escalated as he got too close to Karli.
"Nazi!" She yelled as she punched the shield and he was thrown into Sam with the force of it.

Marcella grabbed Lemar by the collar, as he tried to hold Bucky back from the problem, and she slid him backwards across the ground on his butt. She noticed how little Bucky was fighting... in general. If she didn't speak up when John said that they had it easy as super-soldiers and started guilt-tripping him, would he have let Walker pass before the ten minute mark?

It didn't matter. She was there now and if he was struggling, she'd back him up like did all those years for her — no matter how annoyed she was with him and his 'Later.'

Marcella and Bucky ran in the direction Karli went hoping to stop her. She jumped up onto a staircase and they did too; Marcella grabbed the handle bar with one hand and threw her legs over, following after Bucky who was graceful as ever.

Karli dropped to a different level and almost fell, she was determined to get away from them and Marcella didn't blame her. She couldn't not chase after he either though. Marcella watched Bucky drop too, but she didn't. The people who wanted to protect Karli were in her way and trying to crowd Bucky so that he would slow down. He pushed them away a little making it to the door. Marcella saw that the hall traveled down further.

He turned to look at her, and when he did she ordered, "Coupez-les!" She ran and didn't turn back. The mission came first. Marcella ran threw the halls, pushing people over when they got too close. She was about to turn the corner when a man stepped in the way of her.
