Bucharest

I'm in my suit, shield on my arm in a small apartment. I look around to see a mattress with disheveled covers and various bits of cheap looking furniture. The kitchen and bedroom are in the same room. As I look around I find a notebook on top of the fridge. I grab it and open it, seeing tabs of varying colors sticking out from the pages.

"Heads up, Sarge. German Special Forces, approaching from the South." Sam informs me through the comms.

"Understood." I answer when I feel a presence behind me making me slowly turn around and see Bucky.

"Do you know me?" I ask him as he stares at me.

"You're Joseph. I read about you in a museum." He answers.

"They've set a perimeter."

"I know you're nervous and you have plenty of reason to be. But you're lying." I tell him calmly.

"I wasn't in Vienna. I don't do that anymore." He shakes his head.

"They're entering the building."

"Well, the people who think you did are coming here now. And they're not planning on taking you alive." I say.

"That's smart. Good strategy." He nods.

"They're on the roof. We're compromised."

"This doesn't have to end in a fight." I shake my head.

"5 seconds."

"You pulled me from the river. Why?" I ask him, coming out rushed.

"I don't know."

"3 seconds!"

"Yes, you do."

"Breach! Breach! Breach!"

A grenade crashes through the window. Bucky kicks it towards me and I smother it with my shield. A battering ram is heard hitting against the door and I push a table against it while cops swing in in cables. I pull a rug from under a policeman, sending him flying. Bucky slams another policeman into the wall.

"Buck, stop! You're gonna kill someone!" I tell him.

He slams me down and punches a hole in the floor.

"I'm not gonna kill anyone." He says as he grabs a backpack from under the floorboards and throws it out the window.

We get behind my shield to avoid gunfire. Bucky then shoves me and knocks a cop over. I'm on the balcony fighting a cop as more show up. A cop speaks into his radio but I grab it and smash it. I jump down a level catching a cop not allowing him to fall to his death.

"Come on, man." I say as I look up at Bucky.

I throw the cop up at the landing. I hurl a cop over my shoulders. When I get back up there I see a cop aiming his gun at Bucky making me throw my shield up at it knocking it down as my shield sticks to the wall. Bucky jumps down and I grab my shield from the wall. I look down to see Bucky fighting a man with an all black suit.

Falcon swoops from the sky and Steve runs up next to me.

"Sam, Southwest rooftop." Steve speaks.

"Who the hell's the other guy?" He responds.

"About to find out." I respond as I leap from the balcony, with Steve right behind me.

A chopper is heard right above us. A machine gun then releases ammo.
