[A hotel.]

Sharon Carter: My mom tried to talk me out of enlisting, but, um, not Aunt Peggy. She bought me my first thigh holster.

Steve Rogers: Very practical.

Sharon Carter: And stylish. [Sharon and Steve wait by an elevator. They stand facing each other.]

Steve Rogers: CIA has you stationed over here now?

Sharon Carter: In Berlin, Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Steve Rogers: Right. Right. Sounds fun.

"It really sounds fun."

Sharon Carter: I know, right?

Steve Rogers: [Steve nods and smiles at Sharon.] I've been meaning to ask you. When you were spying on me from across the hall . . . .

Sharon Carter: You mean when I was doing my job.

Steve Rogers: Did Peggy know?

Sharon Carter: She kept so many secrets. I didn't want her to have one from you. [The elevator arrives.] Thanks for walking me back.

Steve Rogers: Sure. [Sam comes over.]

Sam Wilson: Steve. There's something you gotta see.

News anchor #4: A bomb hidden in a news van . . .

Sharon Carter: Who's coordinating?

News anchor #4: . . . ripped through the UN building in Vienna.

Sharon Carter: Good. They're solid. Forensics?

News anchor #4: More than 70 people have been injured. At least 12 are dead, including Wakanda's King T'Chaka. Officials have released a video of a suspect who they have identified as James Buchanan Barnes, the Winter Soldier. The infamous HYDRA agent, linked to numerous acts of terrorism and political assassinations.

Sharon Carter: I have to go to work.

[Fire crews hose down the buildings. A red and white medical chopper flies overhead.]

Sharon Carter: Call MI-6, see if we can get Micro Forensics to hurry this up. We need the whole team here in two hours or it's not worth it. [Sharon strides through with a man in a green jumpsuit. They pass T'Challa who sits on a bench looking stunned. There's a cut on his head. Ania sits on the next bench along.]

Ania Romanoff: I'm very sorry.

T'Challa: [He glances at her. He's holding an ornate silver ring which he toys with between his fingers.] In my culture death is not the end. It's more of a . . . stepping-off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into the green veldt where . . . you can run forever.

Everyone is amazed. That sounds beautiful.

Ania Romanoff: That sounds very peaceful.

T'Challa: My father thought so. [He puts the ring on his finger.] I am not my father.
