1991, a HYDRA base in a snowy landscape. A man entered a bunker and removed a red book marked with a black star. A technician raised a cylindrical chamber, revealing Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier.
Bucky Barnes was secured in a chair, a mechanical device either side of his head causing him to scream in pain. "Желание. Ржавый. Семнадцать. Рассвет. Печь. Девять. Добросердечный. Возвращение на родину. Один. Грузовой вагон." (Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight car.) He turned to the man. "Доброе утро, Солдат." (Good morning, Soldier.) "Я готов отвечать." (Ready to comply.) "У меня есть для тебя миссия. Санкционируй и Извлекай. Без свидетелей." (I have a mission for you. Sanction and extract. No witnesses.)
Night. A car was driving down a dirt road alone. The Winter Soldier was waiting at the side of the road with his motorcycle. As the car passed, the Winter Soldier followed. He came alongside the car and disabled it. It slammed into a tree. The Winter Soldier bought the motorcycle back around and climbed off. He walked to the car trunk and ripped it open, revealing a silver case containing several blue packets.
Back at the HYDRA base. "Отлично, Солдат." (Well done, Soldier.)

Lagos, present day. Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, added sugar to a cup and stirred it. She looked around. "All right, what do you see?" Steve asked on the comm. "Standard beat cops. Small station. Quiet street. It's a good target." Wanda replied. "There's an ATM in the south corner, which means..." Steve added. "Cameras." "Both cross streets are one way." "So, compromised escape routes." "Means our guy doesn't care about being seen, he isn't afraid to make a mess on the way out. You see that Range Rover halfway up the block?" "Yeah, the red one? It's cute."
Natasha and Nova Sadie sat two tables from Wanda. "It's also bullet proof, which means private security, which means more guns, which means more headaches for somebody. Probably us." Nova added. "You guys know I can move things with my mind, right?" Wanda affirmed. "Looking over your shoulder needs to become second nature." Natasha replied. "Anybody ever tell you you're a little paranoid?" Sam stated. "Not to my face. Why? Did you hear something?" "Eyes on target, folks. This is the best lead we've had on Rumlow in six months. I don't want to lose him." Steve declared. "If he sees us coming that won't be a problem. He kind of hates us." Sam added.
A garbage truck was pushing its way through traffic, with no regard to pedestrians or other vehicles. "Sam, see that garbage truck? Tag it." Steve said. From the back of Sam's Falcon jet pack, a small drone, launched and flew down to scan the garbage truck. "Give me X-ray." Weight analysis: Cargo Weight: 13825 kgs. Max capacity. "That truck's loaded for max weight. And the driver's armed." Sam stated. "It's a battering ram." Natasha declared. "Go now." Steve added. "What?" "He's not hitting the police." Steve affirmed.
