"Then you'll have no problem with me taking you as prisoner."
"Well, I'm making a pros and cons list in my head, and 'super villain who just attacked my city' is kind of a big one on there."
Alexandra Clark has been capable of special things...

THE STREETS OF BUCHAREST BUSTLED BEFORE ALEX'S EYES. SHE HAD NORMAL CLOTHES ON, BUT HER SUIT WAS neatly folded in the small leather backpack she strung over her shoulder.
She furrowed her brows in confusion as she took in the city. Of all places, why had Steve sent her here?
She knew she needed to contact him, but couldn't just put her suit on in public. If something serious was going on, she needed to remain incognito. She found the nearest public restroom, and began to change her clothes. The familiar spandex was cool against her skin, and it slapped against her skin when she pulled it on.
"Cap?" She spoke softly into her intercom.
Nothing.
"Steve," She spoke again.
"Alex? Oh thank god,"
"Steve, oh my--where are you? I'm in Bucharest. The address you gave me, it just brought me to a town square."
"We're above it. Move to behind the restaurant at your 3:00, and I'll come get you."
"Affirmative," Her heart soared at the familiar exchange.
She walked briskly behind the building he instructed, and he was already there waiting for her. As soon as she laid eyes on him, she ran toward him.
He pulled her into a tight hug, his hand resting on the back of her head.
"It's so good to see you," She spoke.
"Follow me, we'll talk once we get to where we shacked up,"
"'We'?"
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her through the tunnel he must've come through. A small motel was maybe about 200 yards up from where he met her. Steve led her in a back way, and they walked to the furthest room.
After Steve gave a specific knock, the door opened.
A man, a familiar one, opened the door. The pair walked inside the room, and the door was immediately locked behind them. Alex turned, and a smiling man was standing in front of her.
"I believe I introduced you at the party at the compound?" Steve asked.
"Yes, Sam," Alex smiled. "It's good to see you again,"
"And you as well, Clark. Suit looks great,"
"Are you on the 'com system as well?"
"Yep. I'll be watching Cap's six when he goes in to Bucky's makeshift apartment." Sam replied.
"Wait, what? Who's Bucky?"
"I haven't fully briefed her yet." Steve said to Sam. "Which I will do now. Let's sit, shall we? There's a lot to discuss."
