Warnings: Canon Typical Violence! Language! Major disaster! Major Angst! PTSD!

It took until May to get a solid lead on Rumlow and his gang. As soon as you got word that he was going to attack a police station in Lagos, Nigeria you sprung into action.

You placed Nat and Wanda down on Street level undercover at a small cafe. Sam was stationed up on the roof while you and Steve kept watch from a small hotel room that looked out onto the street below.

"All right, what do you see?" Steve asked looking out of the window.

Wanda had been learning the act of espionage from Nat and you'd learnt from experience that she learnt best in practice. So, Steve took the opportunity to quiz her.

"Standard beat cops, small station, quiet street. It's a good target" Wanda replies.

"There's an ATM on the south corner which means?" Steve pushes.

"Cameras" Wanda answers easily.

"Both cross streets are one way" Steve continues.

"So compromised escape routes" Wanda deducts.

"Means our guy doesn't care about being seen. He isn't afraid to make a mess on the way out" Steve says glancing over at you as you observed out of an adjacent window.

"You see that Range Rover halfway up the block?" Steve asks turning back to the task at hand.

"Yeah, the red one? It's cute" Wanda says a smirk evident in her voice.

"It's also bulletproof, which means private security which means more guns which means more headaches for somebody, probably us," Nat says filling in the blanks Wanda left.

"You guys know I can move things with my mind right?" Wanda says.

"Looking over your shoulder needs to become second nature" Nat reminds her as you look out the window.

"Anybody ever tell you you're a little paranoid?" Sam asks.

"Not to my face, why? Did you hear something?" Nat says playfully and you chuckle at the pair's banter

"Eyes on target folks" Steve says glancing over at you and making you poke your tongue out at him.

"This is the best lead we've had on Rumlow in months, I don't wanna lose him" Steve continues.

"If he sees us coming, that won't be a problem he kinda hates us" Sam chuckles

You look back out of the window your attention being caught by cars beeping their horns. Following the direction of the sound, you notice a garbage truck pushing its way through the traffic. Something about it seemed off to you.

"Sam, see that garbage truck? Tag it" you instruct.

Steve furrows his brows moving to stand next to you and looking out the window at the truck.

"That truck's loaded for max weight and the driver's armed" Sam reports.

You and Steve exchange a glance when you realise what was happening.

"It's a battering ram" you mutter remembering the institute for infectious diseases was nearby from the mission briefing.

"Go now" Steve orders turning on his heel and grabbing his helmet from the bed.

"What?" Wanda asks confused as you run out of the hotel room and up the stairs.

"He's not hitting the police" Steve explains running up the stairs behind you.
