Tony has Fury spread the word that Bucky reverted back to the Winter Soldier after his devastating encounter with the Alpha Soldier. He had to be restrained and was going to be transported to the Raft until they could undo the brainwashing once again.

Today is the day he is being transported. A special armored vehicle is waiting outside the compound. Steve pushes Bucky out to the truck on a special dolly. He is handcuffed and restrained in the special chair. The armored truck is surrounded by armed SHIELD security.

"Are the cuffs loose enough? I'm really sorry we had to do this to you." Steve whispers to Bucky.

"It's alright, buddy. We have to make it look convincing enough to draw Alpha out." Bucky says under his breath.

"The guard inside the truck will unlock the restraints as soon as the doors are closed." Steve reassures Bucky.

"Is everyone else in place?" Bucky asks over his hidden comm.

"Copy that. Everyone is locked and loaded." Nat, Clint, and Sam reply.

The security helps lift Bucky into the truck and anchor the dolly into the floor. Steve closes the door and hops into the passenger side of the truck. Steve has to be there; otherwise, Alpha won't buy it. She knows Steve would never leave his best friend in his time of need.

The route has been carefully laid out, using the least traveled roads so as not to have too much bystander traffic but believable enough. They made the first two miles from the compound but had several more before they reached the handoff point for the Raft.

They were reaching a street that they figured would be the optimal place for her attack. Bucky had trained her, so he knew how she would think. Suddenly, Sam could be heard over the comms.

"Heads up, guys. I've got eyes on the target. She's on a rooftop about a half block ahead of you." Sam and Tony have been hanging in the clouds unseen.

"Uh, guys, you might want to brace yourselves. My scan is picking up a rocket launcher." Tony warns over the comms.

You've been up on the rooftop waiting to make your move. You could see the truck a little over 500 feet away. You bring the rocket launcher to your shoulders and aim in front of the truck. With a smile, you pull the trigger, sending the rocket soaring.

Thanks to Tony's warning, everyone is braced for an impact, but it's still a shock when it hits. It hits the ground, causing a major hole in the road. The truck can't stop in time and hits the hole, flipping it over on its roof.

You jump over the side of the building and repel down at lightning speed. You hit the ground with both feet and tap your quick disconnect. You pull from your side an automatic rifle and send a rain of bullets as you walk toward the overturned truck.

Steve checks on the driver. "Are you Okay?" The driver nods. "Then get out of here and run."
Steve yells to the back of the truck. "Bucky, are you Ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok, but our guy has a broken leg." Bucky yells from the back.

Steve turns to the driver. "Get him out of the back and both of you get as far away from here as possible. NOW!" Steve can see you getting closer as he crawls out of his side of the window.

"Buck, she's almost here. Are you ready?" Steve hollers as he comes around the back of the truck.

You run quickly, jump up onto the truck, and make your way to the back. You saw Steve crawl out. You know he's here somewhere. "Stevie, come out, come out, wherever you are. Don't you want to say hello?" You say with a sing-song tone of voice.

You point the gun over the edge of the back and pull the trigger. You quickly look over. There is no one there. "Oh, come on, Steve! We have so much catching up to do." You jump down, looking at the back doors. They are partially open. It's dark inside, so you slowly open the doors, expecting Steve to rush you.

It's just Bucky standing there waiting for you. "Hey, sis." is all he says.

"Are you ready to come home, brother dear? We've got a cryo chamber waiting for you." You take a step into the truck. That's when you hear someone behind you. You turn around, coming face to face with Steve. He immediately plants a foot in your chest, kicking you backward into the truck.

"Awe, is that any way to greet your girlfriend after 70 years?" You say as you bring your gun up and start shooting at Steve.

He puts his shield up, blocking the bullets. You move forward, pushing him back out of the doorway. You sense Bucky is coming up behind you, but you keep advancing toward Steve.

"Jo please don't do this. We don't want to hurt you. We can help you." Steve says from behind the shield.

You drop the rifle you have in your hand and pull out a shotgun with a grenade launcher. You point it at Steve's shield and fire a grenade at him. It explodes as it hits the shield, sending Steve back.

You turn to see Bucky coming out of the back of the vehicle. You run and send a flying kick straight to his chest, pushing him back into the truck. You quickly slam both doors shut and grab a device from your side. You put it across the doors and press the center. Large prongs spring out and into the doors, locking the doors and Bucky inside.

You are suddenly kicked from behind, pushing you against the doors. You turn around and see Black Widow again. "Returned for a repeat performance, I see."

"This time, it's going to end a little differently, though." Nat says as she throws punches and kicks at you.

You take several blows to the body, but it doesn't phase you. You return the favor to Nat, sending her back several feet. "Really, how did you think this would end any different?" You say.
You throw a knife at her. She dodges it. You are too quick, though, and throw two more at her. One hits her just below the shoulder and the other in her thigh. She goes down and crawls behind a vehicle as she pulls them out.
"Sam, I'm pinned down. Could use a little help here."

"I gotcha girl." Sam says over the comms. He swoops down, kicking you onto the ground.

You can hear Bucky pounding on the doors, trying to get them open, but he's not getting anywhere. You get yourself up off the ground and see Iron Man land in front of the truck doors. He is trying to burn the lock off. You start to raise your gun at him when Sam lands between the two of you.

"You think you can stop me, Falcon?" You cock your head to the side as you speak to him.

"Wow, you know my name. I'm honored. I guess I finally made it on Hydra's shit list." Sam quips back sarcastically.

He hits you with his wings, throwing you off balance a bit. He lifts off the ground a few feet, moving toward you. You look past him and see that Iron Man has almost cut through the lock.

"I don't have time for your games, little birdie!" You grab your shotgun and aim it at Falcon.
You pump off two grenades at his wings. He can deflect one, but the other hits and blows a hole in one wing. Stunned, he falls to the ground, with sparks flying from his broken wing.

You turn your attention to Iron Man. "I'm sorry, I can't have you doing that." You yell at him.

You hear Steve call your name from behind you. "Josephine Beverly Barnes!"

For a moment, it stops you in your tracks. You haven't heard that name spoken in decades.
You spin around. "I'm sorry she's not here right now." You say back.

"Then let me leave a message." Steve says as he throws his shield at you.

You catch it, but he's suddenly in front of you, grabbing the shield from you. You can hear the truck doors slam open. You shove the shield back at Steve and turn around. You are met face to face with Bucky.

"I'm sorry, Jo." He says as he punches you in the face. He kicks you in the chest, pushing you back. You feel yourself hit something hard. It's Steve's shield. Bucky continues his assault on you as you try to block him.

Steve drops the shield and grabs you from behind. Pinning your arms behind you. You struggle, and he has all he can do to hold on. Bucky closes the space between you. You go to kick him to keep him away, but he grabs your leg and holds it.

"Damn, she's strong!" Steve says over your shoulder to Bucky as he struggles to keep his lock on you.

"I know!" Bucky yells. "Clint, have you got the shot?" Bucky asks over the comms.

"Positive. I've got the shot." Clint replies as he watches you from the rooftop.

Bucky grumbles through the comm as he tries to hold you. "Then take it! Now!"

Clint rapidly fires two arrows at you. They are smaller than usual. One hits you in the neck, and one hits you in the thigh. You look down and see a vile attached to the arrow tip. It's a tranq dart!

Your head starts to cloud very quickly, and your vision is blurring. Things are slowing down rapidly. Your vision narrows as blackness starts to creep in. The last thing you see is Bucky's face as he says. "I'm sorry, Jo. I had to."
