The five managed to get out before the lab exploded and they snuck out of the entry container.

Mary paused and listened a moment. As much as she wanted to say something, she knew it was better to keep her mouth shut as to not jinx anything.

They looked around and only saw smoke.

"Okay, I take that statement back."

Bucky yelled, "All right! Wait for my signal!" They took on gunfire and Sam found an opening, instantly taking it. "Damn it!" Bucky stepped around the container door, covering everyone's backs, and Mary followed, earning a look, which she returned, and he glanced away.

Sharon went to the right with Sam while Mary remained with Bucky.

As more and more people appeared, Mary asked, "Will these guys ever stop?!"

"I don't know," Bucky admitted as he and Mary held their ground until his gun jammed. "Ah!" He pulled his left hand down.

The two joined Sam and Sharon and Bucky said, "I thought we were gonna go left."

"You went the wrong way!" Sam retorted.

"I cleared the way!"

"I came out first. You are supposed to follow me. You as well, Mary."

"And where are we now?" Mary shot back.

"Guys, Mary, not the time!" Sharon yelled, ducking down after shooting a few more rounds. "I'm out!"

Mary shot her gun a few more times and a click sounded. "I am too."

"This is a barricade," Bucky and Mary said.

"It's in every action movie!" Sam shot back.

A single gunshot sounded and there was another explosion, which caused the four to duck. Zemo fought the remaining bounty hunters.

Bucky pushed Mary back before saying, "Go. Come on. Let's go."

They ran through the containers as they got shot at. A bullet sounded like it hit a container, causing Mary to stop and turn back. Bucky turned back as well, hearing the same sound.

"Buck! Mary!" Sam yelled.

More bullets hit a container, near Mary's head and she ducked.

A man came closer to them and Mary picked up a pipe and said, "Bucky! Catch!" She threw the pipe to Bucky who caught it and hit the man who was shooting at Sam and Sharon.

Sam opened a container and used it as a shield. Bucky and Mary walked up to him as he cried, "Let's go!"

Mary turned to Bucky. "You do have a plan, right?"

Bucky nodded and punched the far side of the container, causing light to enter the pitch black room.

As soon as they got out the container, they heard tires screeching.

A car pulled around a corner and stopped in front of them.

"Hello..." Zemo greeted from the driver's seat. "Supercharged."

Sam shook his head. "You're going back to jail."

"Do you want to find Karli or not?"

Bucky nodded as he opened the door for Mary. "And there's three of us, and at least 20 of them. Come on." Mary climbed into the car.

Sam rolled his eyes. "Fine. But if you try that shit again..."

Zemo chuckled. "I wouldn't dream of it."
