Bucky and Mary headed north and entered an abandoned building. They walked around and Redwing came up behind them.

Bucky swatted at Redwing, jumping in the air to try to get him, who moved out of the way and Falcon said, "Oh-ho-ho. Don't hurt him."

When they found Sam, he was looking at footage Redwing had captured.

Without looking up, Sam said, "You're doing the staring thing again." Bucky shot him a dirty look and Sam jerked his head to the right. "They're in there."

"Where's the guy?" Bucky asked, glancing at the footage.

"I don't know. I think they're smuggling weapons, though."

"Well, I think you could be right," Mary said as she took a quick moment to think before studying the footage and their surroundings. "Hmm. But there's only one way to find out. I see a clear path. I say we take it."

"We're not assassins," Sam reminded her.

Bucky looked at Sam. "I'll see you inside or not. Mary?"

Mary shrugged. "Keep your nose clean, Sam."

Bucky and Mary walked away.

Sam, still looking at the device on his wrist, said, "Hey, come on, man. I'm just messing with you. Come back. Look at you two. All stealthy. I can see why you're so in love." He chuckled.

"Shut up," Mary replied. "Romance and missions don't pair well."

"You and Bucky clearly seem find time for some sort of romance during missions. A little time in Wakanda and you come out White Panther."

"It's actually White Wolf," Bucky and Mary corrected.

"Huh?"

Bucky and Mary took one way around while Sam took another way, found by Redwing.

"All right, Mary and I are inside," Bucky said. "Therefore, way ahead of you."

"It's not great, but very doable," Mary added, seeing Sam. "Huh?"

"Hello," Bucky greeted sarcastically as he looked around in slight surprise. "How are you?"

"Good. What did I miss? Nothing," Sam shot back.

Mary rolled her eyes. "Cut it out, you two. Let's go."

Sam stopped them and said, "No, wait."

"I got a Vibranium arm," Bucky argued. "Mary's a Super Soldier. She and I can take them."

"And I can fly. Who gives a shit? Wait. I want to see where they're going."

Mary squinted as she looked across the way and said, "There's two people. Bucky?"

Bucky nodded. "Yeah, I see two."

"You two only see two?" Sam shook his head.

"That's what Mary and I saw."

"Let me see what Redwing sees. Let me see."

"All right," Bucky and Mary said as the former rolled his eyes.

"Let's see what Redwing... Oh, look at that. How many people you two see now? One, two... Oh, here it comes again." Bucky and Mary sighed. "Four. Five."

"Yeah, five," Bucky stated. "Yeah. So they're strong. Whatever. All right, let's go." The two Super Soldiers tried to move again.

"No, no, wait," Sam protested, hitting something which caused a loud clatter. "Shit."

The people looked around before a woman said, "All right, let's move. Let's move. Yeah."

The doors closed and the engine started.
