Aleks climbs out of the car after it parks, handing the Soldier the rocket launcher. He fires, knocking the man with the shield off the bridge. She spots her sister and reaches up to make sure her mask and goggles are firmly in place, not wanting to be recognized.
She joins the others in firing at Nat and the other man. As they approach, she begins shooting back at them. The Soldier fires another grenade and Nat jumps over to the other side of the barrier. She runs and he shoots again, forcing her to dive off the bridge. She catches herself with her grappling hook and runs back the other way.
The Soldier exchanges his grenade launcher for his gun and moves to scan the ground below. Aleks moves to join him, but she hears a gun firing before she reaches him. He ducks down behind the wall, removing the goggles Nat had shot.
Aleks kneels in front of him, cupping his face to inspect him for any injuries. Spotting none but seeing the anger in his eyes, she tilts his face up so he meets her eyes.
"Don't kill her." She tells him, quiet enough so the others don't hear. He stands and fires down at where Nat had been, but she fires back from a different spot. He ducks back down before shooting at her new location. Aleks joins him but they both purposefully miss her, shooting near enough to her to make it believable. Nat runs down the street and they stop firing.
"I have her. Find him." The Soldier orders the others in Russian. He wraps his arm around Aleks and jumps off the roof. He lands on top of a car below, keeping Aleks behind him. They climb off the car and she rests a hand on his chest before he can leave.
"Be careful." She says. He briefly covers her hand with his own and nods before following after Nat.
As the other men drop down, Aleks moves around to find better cover, sighing as they begin shooting at the bus the man had crashed into. She spots the other man begin shooting from the bridge as the other uses his shield to get closer.
Aleks sees that the two men are going to take out the others and decides to run after the Soldier and Nat. She finds the Soldier but doesn't see her sister anywhere, hoping she escaped. As she goes to join him, the man with the shield rushes towards him.
The Soldier swings at him but he blocks with the shield, a loud ringing making Aleks cover her ears. He kicks the man away and shoots before diving off the car. The two begin to fight after the man kicks away one of the Soldier's handgun.
He gets the man's shield, throwing it at him before grabbing his knife. He glances at Aleks, silently letting her know that he wants her to join the fight. She grabs her own knife and runs towards them, slashing the man's arm before he notices her.
Aleks and the Soldier work together to fight the man, knowing each other so well that they can anticipate the other's move and compliment it but the man manages to get the upper hand by kicking the Soldier away.
He punches Aleks as she glances at the Soldier to make sure he's okay, then sweeps her feet out from under her, knocking the breath out of her as she hits the ground. The Soldier attacks the man again as he's distracted, choking him before tossing him over the hood of a nearby car. He jumps onto the hood, then at the man, who rolls out of the way.
The Soldier's punch cracks the ground where he had been. Aleks jumps onto the hood, then onto the man's back. She punches him a few times before he manages to flip her off him. The Soldier slams him into a car before grabbing another knife, stabbing at him. The man knocks his arms to the side, and he slices through the van as he tries to get the man.
He knocks the Soldier to the ground and grabs his shield from where it was lodged into the side of that van. Aleks tackles the man from behind, both quickly getting to their feet after Aleks lands a punch to his side. The man grabs her and tosses her away with his super strength, needing to separate the two.
The Soldier continues fighting him as Aleks rushes towards the discarded gun a few feet away. He lands near her as the man throws him too, knocking his mask off. He turns to face the man again.
"Bucky?" He asks.
"Who the hell is Bucky?" He replies, taking the gun from Aleks to shoot at him. They're knocked to the ground by the man from before, now wearing wings. She throws her knife at him, and he dodges, shooting at her.
Aleks cries out, clutching her side, the bullet having hit the weak point in her suit. The Soldier quickly wraps his arm around her and pulls her behind him, raising his own gun. He quickly rushes her away as they hear the others approaching, quickly disappearing.

"I'm fine." She assures the Soldier as he glares at the doctor stitching her side. "I've had much worse." He turns to her, not liking that she's been hurt worse than this. She rolls her eyes at his protectiveness, focusing back on the doctor as he finishes. Two men enter the room and she eyes them warily.
"The boss wants to see you. Follow us." One says. She sighs but follows them out of the room as more enter to take the Soldier away.
"What is this about?" She asks, knowing they won't answer. They lead her to a room and stay outside, guarding the door. "You've got to be kidding me. What the hell is this for?"
"Have a seat, Belova." Pierce orders, gesturing to the chair in the middle of the room. She scoffs.
"What is this about?" She asks.
"We both know you're too smart to play stupid. Sit. Down." He tells her. The men around the room take a step towards her and she sits. Two begin tying her to it as another pulls a cart closer to her seat.
"Whatever you want to know, I'm not telling you." Aleks says, glaring at Pierce. He chuckles.
"Oh, we will." He assures her. "Get the information." He tells the men before leaving the room.
