UNDER AN OVERPASS
"Not sure you understand the concept of a getaway car," Sharon said.
"It's low profile," Steve told her.
"Good, because this stuff tends to draw a crowd." She opened the trunk of her car, revealing Steve's and Sam's gear.
Bucky sat behind Sam in the getaway car and he and Phillip asked, "Can you move your seat up?"
"No," Sam replied.
Bea sighed as she watched Steve and Sharon.
"I owe you again," Steve stated.
"Keeping a list," Sharon replied before glancing at Phillip. "You know, he kinda tried to kill me."
"Sorry. I'll put it on the list, too. They're going to come looking for you."
"I know."
"Thank you, Sharon," he said with a smile and after a moment, the two kissed.
"That was..."
"Late."
"Damn right. I should go. Oh. Let Bea and Phillip know Alpine is safe and I'll send her when I can unless they get her before I do."
"Okay."
In the car, Bucky and Phillip smiled and Sam nodded. Bea gave a small smile. Steve caught their eyes.
PARKING GARAGE - 6TH LEVEL - LEIPZIG/HALLE AIRPORT
Steve drove into the parking lot in the battered, old car. He parked by a gray van and got out.
"Cap," Clint greeted.
"You know I wouldn't have called if I had any other choice," Steve said.
"Hey man, you're doing me a favor. Besides, I owe a debt."
"Thanks for having my back."
"It was time to get off my ass," Wanda answered.
"How about our other recruit?"
"He's rarin' to go," Clint replied. "Had to put a little coffee in him, but... he should be good."
"What timezone is this?" Scott asked.
"Come on. Come on."
Scott shook Steve's hand with an amazed look. "Captain America!"
"Mr. Lang," Steve said.
"It's an honor. I'm shaking your hand too long. Wow! This is awesome! Captain America
Sergeant Barnes. Maverick." He looked at Wanda. "I know you, too. You're great!" He turned back and felt Steve's shoulders. "Jeez. Ah, look, I wanna say, I know you know a lot of super people, so... thinks for thanking of me." He sicced to Sam. "Hey, man!"
"What's up, Tic Tac?" Sam asked.
"Uh, good to see you. Look, what happened last time when I..."
"It was a great audition, but it'll... it'll never happen again."
"They tell you what we're up against?" Bucky questioned.
"Something about some... psycho-assassins?"
Steve nodded briefly. "We're outside the law on this one. So, if you come with us, you're a wanted man."
"Yeah, well, what else is new?"
"We should get moving," Phillip said.
"We got a chopper lined up," Clint informed.
A man on PA #2 said, "Dies ist eine Notsituation. Alle Passagiere müssen den Flughafen sofort evakuieren."
(This is an emergency. All passengers must evacuate the airport immediately.)
