UNDER AN OVERPASS
"Not sure you understand the concept of a getaway car," Sharon said.
"It's low profile," Steve told her.
"Good, because this stuff tends to draw a crowd." She opened the trunk of her car, revealing Steve's and Sam's gear.
Bucky sat behind Sam in the getaway car and asked, "Can you move your seat up?"
"No," Sam replied.
Connie sighed and crossed her arms.
"I owe you again," Steve stated.
"Keeping a list," Sharon replied before glancing at Bucky and Connie. "You know, they kinda tried to kill me."
"Sorry. I'll put it on the list, too. They're going to come looking for you."
"I know."
"Thank you, Sharon," Steve said with a smile and after a moment, the two kissed.
"That was..."
"Late."
"Damn right. I should go."
"Okay."
In the car, Bucky and Connie smiled and Sam nodded. Steve caught their eyes.
PARKING GARAGE - 6TH LEVEL - LEIPZIG/HALLE AIRPORT
Steve drove into the parking lot in the battered, old car. He parked by a gray van and got out.
"Cap," Clint greeted.
"You know I wouldn't have called if I had any other choice," Steve said.
"Hey man, you're doing me a favor. Besides, I owe a debt."
"Thanks for having my back."
"It was time to get off my ass," Wanda answered.
"How about our other recruit?"
"He's rarin' to go," Clint replied. "Had to put a little coffee in him, but... he should be good."
"What timezone is this?" Scott asked.
"Come on. Come on."
Scott shook Steve's hand with an amazed look. "Captain America!"
"Mr. Lang," Steve said.
"It's an honor," Scott stated. "I'm shaking your hand too long. Wow! This is awesome! Captain America." He looked at Wanda. "I know you, too. You're great!" He turned back and felt Steve's shoulders. "Jeez. Ah, look, I wanna say, I know you know a lot of super people, so... thinks for thanking of me." He sicced to Sam. "Hey, man!"
"What's up, Tic Tac?" Sam asked.
"Uh, good to see you. Look, what happened last time when I..."
"It was a great audition, but it'll... it'll never happen again."
"They tell you what we're up against?" Steve questioned.
"Something about some... psycho-assassins?"
Steve nodded briefly. "We're outside the law on this one. So, if you come with us, you're a wanted man."
"Yeah, well, what else is new?"
"We should get moving," Bucky and Connie said.
"We got a chopper lined up," Clint informed.
A man on PA #2 said, "Dies ist eine Notsituation. Alle Passagiere müssen den Flughafen sofort evakuieren."
(This is an emergency. All passengers must evacuate the airport immediately.)
"They're evacuating the airport," Bucky and Connie translated.
"Stark," Sam noted.
"Stark?" Scott repeated.
"Suit up," Steve instructed.
Steve, in his uniform, strode through an underpass, then jogged onto a private runway, heading for a grounded chopper An electro-disabler slammed onto the chopper and Steve looked up. Iron Man and War Machine descended.
"Wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport," Tony said as he retracted his helmet. "Don't you think that's weird?"
"Definitely weird," Rhodey agreed.
"Hear me out, Tony. That doctor, the psychiatrist, he's behind all of this," Steve told him.
T'Challa leapt over a truck and greeted, "Captain."
"Your highness."
Tony continued. "Anyway, Ross gave me 36 hours to bring you in. That was 24 hours ago. Can you help a brother out?"
"You're after the wrong guy."
"Your judgment's askew. Your old war buddies killed innocent people yesterday."
"And there are five more super soldiers just like them," Steve said. "I can't let the doctor find them first, Tony. I can't."
"Steve... you know what's about to happen," Natasha warned. "Do you really wanna punch your way out of this one?"
Steve silently stared at Tony.
"All right, I've run out of patience," Tony said. "Underoos!" Peter shot a web, stealing Steve's shield and binding his hands. "Nice job, kid."
"Thanks," Peter replied. "Well, I could've stuck the landing a little better. It's just the new suit... Well, it's nothing, Mr. Stark. It's -- it's perfect. Thank you."
"Yeah, we don't really need to start a conversation."
"Okay. Cap... Captain. Big fan, I'm Spider-Man."
"Yeah, we'll talk about it later."
"Hey, everyone."
"Just... Good job."
"You've been busy," Steve commented.
"And you've been a complete idiot. Dragging in Clint. 'Rescuing' Wanda from a place she doesn't even want to leave, a safe place. I'm trying to keep... I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart."
"You did that when you signed."
"All right, We're done. You're gonna turn Stewart over, you're gonna come with us. Now! Because it's us! Or a squad of J-SOC guys... with no compunction about being impolite." Steve looked aside. "Come on."
Sam radioed Steve. "We found it. Their Quinjet's in hanger five, north runway."
Steve held his hands up and Clint shot the web off before saying, "All right, Lang."
"Hey, guys, something..." Peter began as Scott grew to normal size and kicked him back.
"Whoa. What -- what the hell was that?" Rhodey asked.
Scott retrieved Steve's shield and said, "I believe this is yours, Captain America."
"Oh, great," Tony commented. "All right, there's two on the parking deck. One of them's Maximoff, I'm gonna grab her. Rhodey, you want to take Cap?"
"Got three in the terminal, Wilson, Barnes and Barnes," Rhodey informed.
"Barnes' are mine!" T'Challa cried.
"Hey, Mr. Stark, what should I do?" Peter asked.
"What we discussed," Tony replied. "Keep your distance. Web 'em up."
"Okay, copy that!"
"Move, Captain," T'Challa ordered. "I won't ask a second time."
Scott faced Natasha and said, "Look, I really don't want to hurt you."
"I wouldn't stress about it," Natasha replied as she kicked him in the groin and he miniaturized, throwing her head over heels. She zapped him off her wrist and he slammed into a nearby truck, causing a small dent.
TERMINAL
"What the hell is that?" Bucky and Connie asked as they ran, glancing at the window to see Spider-Man climbing across.
"Everyone's got a gimmick now," Sam said.
Peter swung through the glass wall and kicked Sam backwards. Bucky threw a punch and Peter caught his fist before saying, "You have a metal arm? That is awesome, dude!" Sam hit Peter. "You have the right to remain silent!" Mid-air, Peter fended Sam off, then swung after them using his webs.
---
Iron Man shot rockets which exploded just beyond Clint and Wanda. Steve fought hand to hand with T'Challa. War Machine locked on.
"Sorry, Cap," Rhodey said, pulling out an electric mace. "This won't kill you but it ain't gonna tickle either." He smacked Steve's shield with the mace.
Tony hovered above the ground and said, "Wanda, I think you hurt Vision's feelings."
"You locked me in my room," Wanda retorted.
"Okay. First, that's an exaggeration. Second, I did it to protect you. Hey, Clint."
"Hey, man," Clint greeted.
"Clearly, retirement doesn't suit you. You got tired of shooting golf?" Tony asked.
"Well, I played 18, I shot 18. Just can't seem to miss," Clint replied as he fired an arrow which Tony deflected.
"First time for everything."
"Made you look." Suddenly, a car slammed past Iron Man. He looked up as dozens more came crashing down. Wanda rowed her glowing hands until Iron Man was buried under a pile of cars.
F.R.I.D.A.Y. said, "Multiple contusions detected."
"Yeah, I detected that too," Tony replied.
---
Peter swung through the rafters in the terminal on his webs, chasing Sam who flew backwards firing shots. Peter stopped on a high beam and said, "Oh, God." Bucky threw something at him. "Hey buddy, I think you lost this!" Peter threw it back. Sam kicked him off the beam and Peter fired a web, which sent Sam crashing to the floor. Peter webbed Sam's wrist to a balcony railing. "Those wings carbon fiber?"
"Is this stuff coming out of you?" Sam asked.
"I'd guess so," Connie said.
"That would explain the rigidity-flexibility ratio, which, gotta say, that's awesome, man," Peter said.
"I don't know if you've been a fight before but there's usually not this much talking," Sam told him.
"All right, sorry, my bad." Peter swung down and Bucky jumped in the way. Bucky and Sam fell through the glass down onto the next floor, while Connie ran down, and Peter webbed them. "Guys, ma'am, look." Sam fingered a device on his chest without looking. "I'd love to keep this up but I've only got one job here today and I gotta impress Mr. Stark, so, l'm really sorry." Redwing dragged Peter through the glass wall. "Wwahhhh!"
"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bucky and Connie asked.
"I hate you two," Sam muttered.
Connie rolled her eyes as she started trying to free the two of them.
---
Steve kicked War Machine out of the air, then sent T'Challa reeling. War Machine's mace was broken.
"Great," Rhodey muttered.
"Hey, Cap, heads up!" Scott called as he threw Steve a miniature truck. "Throw it at this. Now!" Steve threw it and the truck enlarged, tumbling towards War Machine.
"Oh, come on!" The truck landed and exploded.
"Oh, man. I thought it was a water truck. Uh... sorry." Scott and Steve ran off.
"All right. Now, I'm pissed."
As Tony helped her up, Natasha asked, "Is this, part of the plan?"
"Well, my plan was to go easy on them," Tony replied. "You wanna switch it up?"
Clint said to Wanda as he spotted the Quinjet, "There's our ride."
"Come on!" Steve yelled as his team ran towards the Quinjet. A fizzing stream of energy sliced across the runway and they stopped. Vision hovered overhead.
"Captain Rogers..." Vision called. "I know you and your family believe what you're doing is right. But for the collective good you must surrender now." Tony's team arrived.
"What do we do, Cap?" Sam asked.
"We fight," Steve replied.
"This is gonna end well," Natasha muttered. The two teams strode towards each other with grim determination etched on each of their faces.
"They're not stopping," Peter said, glancing at Tony.
"Neither are we," Tony told him.
Everyone broke into a sprint. Steve and Jamie blocked a punch as Iron Man landed. Clint fired an arrow at Vision. War Machine flew after Falcon while Bucky and Connie traded blows with T'Challa. An explosive arrow hit Iron Man. Natasha threw Scott as Peter swung through the air, struggling to evade vehicles projected by Wanda. Bucky and Connie landed punches on T'Challa. Clint and Natasha battled with batons. Clint pinned her down with his bow.
"We're still friends, right?" Natasha questioned.
"Depends on how hard you hit me," Clint answered as she spun him with her legs. As she was about to kick his head, her foot stopped and glowed bright red.
Wanda projected Natasha down and said, "You were pulling your punches." Clint nodded sheepishly.
Bucky, Connie and T'Challa had each other by the throat as the former two said, "We didn't kill your father."
"Then why did you two run?" T'Challa asked as he pulled his hand off their necks, then spun them and fly-kicked them backwards. He sprouted claws and aimed for Bucky and Connie's necks, but Wanda stopped his hand, then waved her arms and sent T'Challa crashing into a passenger gangway.
Bucky checked Connie over and she nodded, checking him over. He reassured her he was okay and the two prepared to continue the fight.
