Steve Rogers walks out from underneath an overhang, dressed in his complete uniform and his red, white, and blue shield in his hand. The super soldier glances around before breaking into a run towards the helicopter that waits. A sudden small missile flies through the air and stabs into the chopper's side. Steve steps to a stop, watching as an electric charge shoots through the machine and leaves it lifeless. Tony, dressed in his Iron Man suit, hovers about forty feet away before he flies over and lands hard onto the ground. War Machine drops down beside him, his metal boots clanking as he hits the cement. Steve watches them with a careful expression.

"Wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport," Tony quips as his helmet pulls back and he glances over at Rhodey, "Don't you think that's weird?"

"Definitely weird," his best friend plays along which the Stark responds to with a thoughtful nod.

"Hear me out, Tony," Steve cuts the joking mood, saying in a measured tone, "That doctor, the psychiatrist, he's behind all of this,"

A man in black vibranium suit leaps over a nearby truck, landing gracefully on the ground. He slowly straightens up to look at the super soldier.

"Captain," T'Challa speaks up lowly.

"Your highness," Steve bows his head slightly.

"Anyway," Tony steps around Rhodey's side, "Ross gave me thirty-six hours to bring you in. That was twenty-four hours ago. Can you help a brother out?"

"You're after the wrong people,"

"Your judgement is askew," Tony's tone and his eyes turn hard, "Your old war buddy killed innocent people yesterday,"

"And there are five more super soldiers just like him," Steve cuts in. "I can't let the doctor find them first, Tony, I can't."

"Steve..." a low voice turns the man around to look at the redhead woman; Natasha dips her chin down and her eyes are pleading, "You know what's about to happen. Do you really wanna punch your way out of this one?"

Even he is completely surrounded, Steve turns back to Tony with a squinted expression.

"Alright, I've run out of patience," Tony says, before calling loudly. "Underoos!"

A figure suddenly leaps in from above, yanking the shield out of Steve's grip and in turn binding the super soldier's hands in a cluster of webs. Three teens then gracefully land down on the side in front of Steve. As Spider-Man stays crouched, Tony congratulates, "Nice job, kid,"
