third person's pov

in a huge abandoned warehouse bucky comes to with his metallic left arm clamped in a huge industrial vice. steve peers through a gap at a chopper flying overhead. as sam looks over at bucky. ingrid is pacing around as she has a bruise on her neck where you could tell where bucky had grabbed her throat.

"hey, cap!" sam shouts as ingrid dashed towards where sam was. steve and ingrid goes over to join sam by bucky who sits with his arm in the vice. they all stare at him. "steve." the man says as ingrid is a good distance away from steve. "which bucky am i talking to?"

"your mom's name was sarah...you used to wear newspapers in your shoes." bucky comments as ingrid nods her head agreeing with him. "can't read that in a museum." sam looks at sam. "just like that we're supposed to be cool?" 

"what did i do?" bucky asks as ingrid has a new found liking in her feet as she doesn't know how to tell bucky that he strangled her, well almost. she doesn't have the heart to tell him, and have him freak out that he harmed his little girl. "na samom dele mnogo chego, papa. ty menya tozhe, i eto bol'no. deystvitel'no plokho." ingrid whispers as no one really heard it, but bucky did. and it broke his heart of what she said. he hurt his little girl. that was the last thing he ever wanted to do. 'actually a lot of things, dad. you got me too and it hurts. really bad'.

"gde bolit, kukolka?" bucky asks her as steve and sam just let the two have their conversation as steve is pin pointing a little of what his friend is saying. 'where does it hurt, doll?' ingrid takes a deep breath as she is about to reveal somethings to bucky. "moya sheya i moi rebra. eto bybla ne vasha vina, eto vina psikhiatra. on byl tem, kto sdelal eto s toboyz. eto yego vina, papa. on prevratil tebya v zimnego soldata. on zastavil tebya popytat'sya prichinit' mne bol'." ingrid says as bucky hitched a breath as he felt like it all stopped. the psychiatrist is the one who has been doing this. 'my neck and my ribs. it wasn't your fault it was the psychiatrist's fault. he was the one who did this to you. it's his fault, papa. he turned you into the winter soldier. he made you try to hurt me'. 

"detka, ya by nikogda ne popytalsya prihinit' tebe bol', khorosho." bucky says to ingrid as she finally looked up and looked at his matching blue eyes. they were filled with hurt and sadness. 'baby girl, i would never try to  hurt you, okay.'

"what else did i do?" bucky says as he wants to change the topic of hurting his little girl. "enough." steve said that as ingrid looked back down to her boots, that are oddly very interesting from this angle.

"oh, god, i knew this would happen. everything hydra put inside me is still here. all he had to do was say the goddamn words." bucky says as ingrid shot her eyes up to her papa. "you mean the psychiatrist? the one who asked you the questions." ingrid says as bucky snapped his fingers in her direction. "yeah him." bucky looked back at steve as once again ingrid was very invested in her boots. 

"people are dead. the bombing, the setup. the doctor did all that just to get ten minutes with you." steve says as ingrid rolled her eyes as she continued to look down. "he wanted to know about siberia. where i was kept. he wanted to know exactly where." bucky explains as sam and steve both furrowed their eyebrows. "why would he need to know that?" steve asks as bucky was going to tell him but ingrid beated him to it. "because, dad ain't the only winter soldier."

december 16, 1991

at night bucky rides alongside the car and somehow causes the car to crash. the circles back around and pulls up and climbs off the motorbike. he's filmed on CCTV as he approaches the car's trunk. he janks it open, breaking the lock. inside he opens a metal case with contains five clear drip bags filled with bright blue fluid.

four young men and a young woman sit up in hospital beds. the blue fluid is fed intravenously into their arms. the drip bags hang on stands beside them. they're all fit and muscular. one man, josef, flexes a huge biceps, he is screaming and dragged into a cell and left on a bed.

"it hurts!" josef shouts as he struggles in the leather bindings.

karpov is sitting at a desk in a corridor, making notes and listening to what's going on. karpov opens the door to a lab and switches on the light. josef is sitting on a bed and he looks up at karpov.

bucky and josef  fight each other in a barred chamber. the four others who were given the blue liquid are there. josef kicks with enormous power, sending bucky flying, watching karpov folds his arms.

"Очень хорошо, Иосиф" karpov said as it means 'good work'. 

a medic takes josef's pulse and said josef slams him onto the floor. a soldier clubs josef onto the back with no effect. karpov gets behind bucky and aims a gun.

"Солдат, вытащи меня отсюда!" karpov says as it means 'get me out of here'. 

josef  and the other four winter soldiers effortlessly dispatch a squad of soldiers. bucky escorts covering karpov from the barred chamber, battling guards aside.

present

"their most elite death squad. more kills than anyone in hydra history. and that was before the serum." bucky says as ingrid is now criss-crossed on the ground where she was standing. "they all turn out like you?" sam asks as bucky shakes his head. "worse." bucky says as sam shakes his head. "the doctor, could he control them?" steve asks as ingrid now lays down as her head is crossed as she uses it as a pillow. much like she would do in her hydra cell when she was there. "enough." bucky says.

"said he wanted to see an empire fall." steve says as ingrid once again butted into the 'adult' conversation. "with those guys he could do it. they speak 30 languages, can hide in plain sight, and infiltrate, assassinate and destabilize. they could take an entire country down in one night. you'd never see them coming." ingrid explains to sam and steve as they turn to her and see her laying down on the dirty ground but she could care less. "this would have been a lot easier a week ago." sam says stepping towards steve.

"if we call tony..." steve says to the falcon. "no, he wouldn't believe us." sam says which is not wrong, as tony wouldn't believe them if they even tried. "even if he did..." steve says. "who knows if the accords would let him help." sam says. "we're on our own." steve says as sam shakes his head. "maybe not i know a guy."

"i don't suppose you have any idea where they are?" secretary ross says to natasha and tony. "we will. GSG-9's got the borders covered. recon's flying 24/7. they'll get a hit. we'll handle it." tony says. "you don't get it, stark. it's not yours to handle. it's clear you can't be objective. i'm putting special ops on this." 

"what happens when the shooting starts? what, do you kill steve rogers?" natasha says.  "if we're provoked. barnes would've been eliminated in romania if it wasn't for that brat. there are dead people who would be alive now. feel free to check my math." ross says as natasha narrowed her eyes when ross called ingrid a brat. it didn't take that much to know who he was talking about. "all due respect, you're not going to solve this with boys in bullets, ross. you gotta let us bring them in."

"how would that end any differently from the last time?" ross asks the billionaire. "because this time, i won't be wearing loafers and a silk shirt. 72 hours, guaranteed." tony says to the secretary. or as ingrid calls him 'shady ross'. "36 hours. barnes. rogers. wilson. mason."

"thank you, sir." tony says as he slumps exhaling a breath. "my left arm is numb, is that normal?" tony says as ross left. so it's just him and natasha. she pats him on the shoulder. "you alright?" she asks. "always." tony says as he has a massive black eye and a cut on his brow. "36 hours, jeez." tony says. "we're seriously understaffed." natasha says as tony couldn't help but agree with that. "oh yeah. it'd be great if we had a hulk right about now. any shots?" tony says. "no, you really think he'd be on our side? if anything he'd be a criminal and be on steve's side." tony nods his head at her. "makes sense." he says as natasha got up.

"i have an idea." natasha says as tony looks at her. "me too . where's yours?" tony says. "downstairs. where's yours?" natasha asks as tony smiles slightly.

queens, new york

peter parker walks out of an elevator holding a dvd-player and with a backpack on his shoulder. he is walking with his cousin and the only daughter of may. her name is max. her name is max because when may was pregnant with her they didn't know if she was a boy or girl because everytime they did an ultrasound she'd move. it wasn't until the day of max's birth that may found out it was a girl.

the two walk into an apartment where may is sitting on the couch with tony stark. "hey, may." peter greets his aunt as max puts her backpack on the dining table and grabbing something to eat. "hey, mom." max says from the kitchen.

"mmm. how was school today, guys?" may asks the two teenagers.

"okay. there is a crazy car parked outside..." max says as she comes out of the kitchen and sees tony stark.

"oh, miss and mr. parker." tony greets them. "um...." peter says. he takes out his earphones. "what--what are you doing...? hey! uh, i'm--i'm--i'm peter, and this is my cousin...."peter says before max interrupted him.

"i'm max, her daughter." max says pointing to her mother as she confirms it to the billionaire.

"i'm tony." he says smiling at the two. "what are you doing here, if i may ask." max asks as polite as possible even if she's tired and exhausted as peter helped her with a project the night before for her history class. "it's about time we met. you've been getting my emails, right?" tony asks raising his eyebrows as max did the same as she turned to face her cousin.

"yeah, yeah." peter says as max is confused of what's happening right now. "right?" tony says. "regarding the...." peter says trailing off as max looks at her mom as the woman shrugs her shoulders as she takes a couple pieces of max's chips. they're just watching this show going on as max knows that peter is lying. as he sucks at doing so. though....max on the other hand, she's always lying even if she gets in trouble a lot for doing so.

"you didn't tell mom about that grant peter." max says as may nods her head as she was chewing the snack.

"about the grant." peter says. "the september foundation." tony says. "right." peter says as max sits next to her mom on the couch as may kisses max's head. "you remember when you applied?" tony asks as peter nods his head. "yeah." he says. "i approved, so now we're in business." tony says as may looks at peter.

"you didn't tell me anything? what's up with that? are you keeping secrets from me now?" may asks her nephew. "why, i just, i just....i just know how much you love surprises, so i thought i would let you know...wh...anyway, what did i apply for?" peter asks. "that's what i'm here to hash out." tony says. "okay. hash, hash out, okay." tony now looks at may. "it's hard for me to believe that she's someone's aunt." tony says as max scrunches her nose in disgust at hearing that.

"yeah, well, we come in all shapes and sizes, you know?" may says to tony awkwardly. "this walnut date loaf is exceptional." tony says. "let me just stop you there." peter says as max still looks between the two of them. "yeah?" tony says wanting to know what the teenager boy wants to say. "is this grant, like, got money involved or whatever?" peter asks. "yeah." tony says. "yeah?" peter asks. "it's pretty well funded." tony says as max mentally rolled her eyes, as like 'duh, you're tony stark, course it'll be funded'. 

"wow." peter says smiling. "look who you're talking to, that's tony stark, peter." max says pointing to tony as he smiled at the girl. "can i have five minutes with him?" tony asks the mother of max. "sure." may says as he motioned peter and also apparently max to follow him. she wasn't going to question as tony stark was going to talk to her. she thought she was crazy as she walked to her cousin's room before quickly going to her room and grabbing her flannel.

in peter's bedroom, tony bolts the door just as max gets in there and he spits out the walnut loaf. "as walnut loaves go, that wasn't bad." tony says as he notices peter's collection of old computers. "whoa, what do we have here? retro tech, huh? thrift store? salvation army?"

"uh, the garbage, actually." peter says as tony turns to him slightly shocked. "you're a dumpster diver." tony says as max and peter both nod their heads. "yeah, i tried talking him out of it but he didn't listen to me." max says as she sits in peter's chair at his desk. "yeah, i was...anyway, look, um, i definitely did not apply for your grant." peter says as max gives her cousin a look. "yeah we know that, but mom now doesn't, liar peter." peter gives his cousin a look as this is the usual banter between the two. "ah-ah! me first." tony tsked at the boy. "okay." peter says.

"okay quick question of the rhetorical variety." tony says as he pulls out his phone which projects a video of peter parker and max in their respective superhero suits. "that's you, two, right?" max's eyes widened at seeing that video. "um, no. that's definitely not me and peter." max says defending her and peter. "um, no. what do you do? what do you mean?"

"yeah. look at you two go. wow! nice catch. 3k pounds, 40 miles an hour. that's not easy. maxie nice telekinesis. you two have mad skills." tony says as peter shakes his head. "that's all--that's all on youtube, though, right? i mean, that's where you found that? because you know that's all fake. it's all done on the computer." peter says lying as max nods her head. 

"mm-hmm." tony says as he starts to walk around the teenager's room. "it's like that video. what is it?" peter asks. "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...oh, you mean like those UFOs over phoenix?" tony says. "exactly." peter says as his back is turned facing the stark. "oh, what do we have here?" tony says to the teenager as max lifts her arms up in the air as peter's suit is now floating in the air. "uh...that's a...." peter says. "so you're the spider...ling. crime-fighting spider....you're spider-boy?"

peter folds his arms petulantly. "s...spider-man." he mutters. "not in that onesie, you're not." tony says before turning to max who still has her hands in the air. "maxie you can let go." tony says as max obeys the stark and lets go of peter's suit.

"it's not onesie." peter grumbles as tony picks up the suit that landed on the floor from max letting go. "i don't believe this. i was actually having a good day today, you know, mr. stark. didn't miss my train, this perfectly good dvd player was just sitting there and...algebra test. nailed it!" peter says.

"who else knows about you two? anybody? besides you two knowing about each other." tony asks the two as they shake their heads no at the stark. "nobody else knows about me and peter." tony looks at the girl as she crosses her arms over her chest and her right leg is crossed over her left. "not even your...unusually attractive aunt...?" tony says before looking at the girl. "she's your mom right, maxie?" tony asks the girl as she nods her head at the billionaire. she sorta likes the nickname, maxie, for some reason.

"no. no, no. no, no. if she knew, she would freak out. and when she freaks out, i freak out." peter says panicking a little as he's trying to be quiet so may doesn't hear what there talking about. "max usually just watches us freaking out." peter says as tony looks at the girl weirdly before she nods her head confirming. "you good? anything wrong?" tony asks as she shakes her head. "nope, just have a resting bitch face." she says as he nods his head. "okay." he says before turning back to peter.

"you know what i think is really cool? this webbing. that tensile strength is off the charts. who manufactured that?" tony asks as max plays with her rings on her fingers. she's still confused of why she is here, when stark is mainly talking to her cousin. "i did."

"climbing the walls, how are you doing that? adhesive gloves?" tony says as max snorts as peter shakes his head. "it's a long story. i was uh...." peter says before tony interrupted him. "lordy! can you even see these?" he says using the eyes of peter's suit like goggles. "yes. yes, i can! i can. i can--i can see in those. okay? it's just that...when whatever happened, happened...it's like my senses have been dialed to 11. there's way too much input, so...they just kinda help me focus." peter says as tony nods his head as he turns to max. "how did you get your powers, maxie?" tony asks. 

max shrugs her shoulders. "i was in science and two vials of liquids spilled over me which i'm guessing had some sort of power in them. that's how i got my powers." max says as she continues to fidget with her rings.  "when did this happen?" tony asks. "uh, a year and half ago. way before peter got his powers." max says clarifying when she got her powers. "okay." he says before once again turning back to her cousin. 

"you mister are in dire need of an upgrade. systemic, top to bottom. 100-point restoration. that's why i'm here." tony says as peter sits on his bed and looks at tony. "why are you doing this? i gotta know. what's your MO? what gets you outta that twin bed in the morning?" 

"because...." peter says fiddling with his fingers. "because i've been me my whole life, and i've had these powers for six months." peter explains. "mm-hmm." tony hummed. "i read books, i build computers...and---and yeah. i would love to play football. but i couldn't then so i shouldn't now." 

"sure, because you're different." tony says. "exactly. but i can't tell anybody that, so i'm not. when you can do the things that i can, but you don't..." peter says as tony leans closer. "and then bad things happen....they happen because of you." peter says oddly wise as max grabs her phone and plays on it. 

tony looks almost affected by peter's words. "so you wanna look out for the little guy? you wanna do your part? make the world a better place, all that, right?" tony says to the teenager. "yeah. yeah just looking out...for the little guy. that's--that's what it is." peter says. 

tony slowly steps over to peter whose leg is stretched out on the bed. tony looks down at it. "i'm gonna sit there, so you move the leg." he says as peter moves his leg. tony sits beside him and raises his hand. he hesitantly claps peter's shoulder. "you two got a passport?" tony says as max looks up from her phone. "uh, no. i don't even have a driver's license, and max doesn't even have her's." peter says.

"have you been to germany?" tony asks the teenagers, as they simultaneously shake their heads no at the billionaire. "no." tony looks at the boy like he just offended him. "how about you maxie?" tony says to max as she too shakes her head no confirming her answer. "oh, you two will love it." maxie raises a finger at tony and he looks at her. "we can't go to germany!" max says as tony furrowed his brows at her. "we got....homework." max says. 

"i'm gonna pretend you didn't say that, maxie." tony says as max thinks that the nickname is already growing on her. "i'm---i'm being serious...well she is. we just can't drop out of school!" peter says whisper shouting. "might be a little dangerous. better tell aunt hottie i'm taking you two on a field trip." tony says as peter webs tony's hand to the door. "don't tell aunt may." peter says. "alright, spiderman." tony says as the two share an earnest look before tony returns to his usual attitude. "get me out of this...unless maxie knows how to do it." tony says giving the girl a faint smile as she chuckled a little before shaking her head. "sorry, i'll get the..." peter says.

somewhere under an overpass

"not sure you understand the concept of a getaway car."  sharon comments on their blue beetle bug car. "it's a low profile." he said that as ingrid snickered at hearing that. "good, because this stuff tends to draw a crowd." she says as she opens the trunk of her car revealing steve, sam's and ingrid's gear. bucky sits behind sam in the getaway car. "can you move your seat up?" bucky tells sam. "no." sam says back. 

bucky suddenly picks up ingrid up onto his lap and scoots over into her seat. the entire car shifts and wiggles at the man's movement and bucky wraps his arms around ingrid's stomach, to keep her in balance. she leaned her head back onto his chest and he kissed her head as she goes to his chin. 

"i owe you again." steve says remembering the previous time he needed sharon. "keeping a list." sharon says as she glanced at bucky and ingrid gave her the finger. "you know, he kinda tried to kill me." she said as she looked back at steve. "sorry, i'll put it on the list, too. they're going to come looking for you." steve says. 

"i know." sharon says with a slight frown. then steve and sharon's lips have been pressed against each other as they stand in front of their blue car. ingrid groaned at seeing that. "pda lyudi. slishkom mnogo informatsii." ingrid said as the window was rolled down, as sharon glanced at the girl before looking back at steve. 'pda people. too much information'.

leipzig/halle airport

on the 6th level of a parking garage at the german airport. steve drives into the parking lot in the battered, old car. he parks in a gray van and gets out. "cap, ingrid." clint greets the two as everyone gets out of the car. ingrid just gave the hawkeye a single wave of acknowledgment. "you know i wouldn't have called if i had any other choice."

"hey man, you're doing me a favor. besides, i owe a debt." clint says as ingrid stands besides bucky as she is on her tippy toes as she is shorter than the car where bucky is standing by. "thanks for having my back. how about our other recruit?" 

"he's rarin' to go. had to put a little coffee in him, but....he should be good." clint says as he opened the van door and a sleeping man jolts at the bang that sounds at the end of it. steve glances at sam who offers a careful shrug. "what timezone is it?" the man says. "come on. come on." clint says. scott shakes steve's hand with an amazed look. "captain america."

"mr lang." scott says as ingrid looked at bucky and whispered something in his ear and bucky tried not to laugh. "it's an honor. i'm shaking your hand too long. wow! this is awesome. captain america." scott says as he looks at ingrid. "i know you, too. you're great!" scott turns back and feels steve's shoulders for some apparent reason in ingrid's head. "jeez. ah, look. i wanna say. i know you know a lot of super people, so...thanks of thanking me." scott says looking at sam. "hey, man!"

"what's up, tic tac?" sam says as ingrid snickered again. "uh, good to see you. look, what happened last time when i..." scott says before sam interrupted him. "it was a great audition, but it'll---it'll never happen again." ingrid smiled. "awe your humiliated to tell, sammy. what happened? no one is going to judge you." ingrid jokes as bucky grinned a little. "not now slugger." sam says as ingrid groaned. 

"chelovek, i ya khotel znat' sekret. blin." ingrid mutters as bucky pats her back. ingrid lightly taps her head on the car. 'man and i wanted to know the secret. damn it'. bucky was just amused by ingrid at the moment. "ingrid, ya lyublyu tebya." he muttered to the girl as she grinned even more even it looked like she wanted to murder someone with how wide her smile was. 'ingrid, i love you'. ingrid shook her head at her papa. "papa, my obsuzhdali eto. ispol'zovat' kuklu. eto milo i emotsional'no dlya moyey zadnitsy. prosto govoryu." ingrid says as clint looked over at the girl understanding what she's saying. "nice one ingrid." he says as she nodded before turning to bucky. 'papa, we've discussed this. use doll. it's cute and emotional for my ass. just saying'. 

"they tell us what we're up against?" steve asks scott, as he nods his head. "something about some...psycho-assassins?" scott says pointing right at ingrid and bucky. "those two. wait why are they here when we're after them?" scott says with a long yawn as ingrid has an offended look on her face she shook her head at the man. "ne mogu poverit', chto on eto skazal, ya ne ubiytsa. ya podrostok, yest' raznitsa." ingrid says out loud even if no one understood what she was saying. well besides, bucky, clint and steve. 'can't believe he said that. i am not an assassin. i am a teenager. there's a difference'.

scott looked at her then turned back to steve. "you have a clue what she just said. but either way i think she offended me." scott says as ingrid gave him the finger. "nope, you offended me. i am not an assassin. you forgot the teenage part of the assassin. TEENAGE ASSASSIN. not that hard people." ingrid says clapping her hands when she said teenage assassin. "you don't make sense." scott says with a small smile at the girl.  "thanks...i guess." ingrid says as she shrugged her shoulders.

"we're outside the law on this one. so, if you come with us, you're a wanted man." steve says telling scott. "trust me it's fun when everyone wants to catch you. it's a blast." ingrid cuts in as clint snickers at the girl. "yeah, well, what else is new?" scott says as ingrid smiled at the man. "we should get going." steve says. "we got a chopper lined up."

"dies ist eine notsituation. alle passagiere müssen den flughafen sofort evakuieren." the man on the PA announced as everyone turned towards ingrid and bucky. 'this is an emergency. all passengers must evacuate the airport immediately'.

"they're evacuating the airport." ingrid and bucky said in unison as the wind is blowing slightly in their hair. "stark." sam says. "stark?" scott asks. "suit up." steve says.

berlin airport

steve is in his uniform as he strides through an underpass, then jogs onto a private runway as he is heading for a grounded chopper. an electro-disabler slams onto the chopper and steve looks up and sees tony and rhodey both clad out in their suits as iron man and war machine respectively. 

"wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport. don't you think that's weird?" tony says as he looked at rhodey.

"definitely weird." rhodey says joking around. 

"here me out tony." steve starts cutting the joking manner from the two. "that doctor, the psychiatrist, he's behind all of this." t'challa and ada then leap over a truck making their grand entrance. "captain." 

"your highnesses." steve says. "anway ross gave me 36 hours to bring you in. that was 24 hours ago. can you help a brother out?" tony says sarcastically to steve. "you're after the wrong guy." steve replies, to the stark but as per usual he doesn't listen. "your judgment is askew. your old war buddy and his daughter killed innocent people yesterday." tony says as steve shook his head slightly. "and there are five more super-soldier's just like them. i can't let the doctor find them first, tony. i can't."

"steve....you know what's about to happen. do you really wanna punch your way out of this one?" natasha asks her boyfriend as she got beside him. "all right, i've run out of patience. underoos!" tony shouted as both peter and max made their entrance. max used her telekinesis stealing steve's shield as peter shot a web binding his hands. "nice job kids."

"thanks. 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." peter says rambling on about his suit as max shakes her head. "clearly i never met him." max says out of embarrassment. "yeah, we don't need to start a conversation." tony says cutting off max's cousin. "okay, cap...captain. big fan, i'm spider-man." peter says announcing who he is to everyone as they are all confused. "yeah, we'll talk about it later, just..." tony says before peter spoke up once again. "hey, everyone." peter says as max groans as she wished she didn't come. "....good job you just embarrassed maxie." tony says. 

"you've been busy." steve says. "and you've been a complete idiot. dragging in clint when he's supposed to be retiring, taking ingrid out of a place she doesn't even want to go to; yet she still went there. i'm trying to keep...i'm trying to keep you from tearing the avengers apart." tony says to the captain. "you did that when you signed." steve says as max's mouth gaped open. "that's cold."

"alright, we're done. you're gonna turn barnes 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." tony says as steve looks aside. "come on." 

"we found it. their quinjet's in hangar five, north runway." a voice could be heard as he radioed steve. said captain holds his hands up and clint shoots the web off. "alright, lang."

"hey, guys....uh...something is happening..." max says as she looks around confused. "whoa. what--what the hell was that?" rhodey asks being just as confused as max is. scott retrieves steve's shield from peter. "i believe this is yours, captain america." scott says as max looked at him like he's just here because he gets to work with steve. it makes sense.

"oh, great. alright, rhodey you wanna take, spangles?" tony says. "got three in the terminal, wilson, barnes and mason." rhodey says. "barnes and mason are mine!" t'challa says as him and ada went off to get bucky and ingrid respectively.

"hey, mr stark, what should i do?" peter asks. "peter what did he tell us to do?" max asks her cousin. "what we discussed. keep your distance. web 'em up." 

"okay, copy that!" peter says going to do what tony told him to do. "you maxie you get to hang out with me, because i don't want you killed." tony says as max didn't argue with him as she matter of fact agreed with him. "yeah, because i'm too young to die. plus,  mom would kill you if anything happened to me anyway." max says as tony couldn't help but agree with her too.

"move, captain. i won't ask a second time." t'challa says as steve stopped him from getting to bucky and ingrid as ada was beside her father. 

scott faces natasha. "look, i really don't want to hurt you." he says. "i wouldn't stress about it." the woman glances at the man a knowing look on her face and devious glints in her eyes as if she were a bloodthirsty warrior on the hunt for some action, before turning back to the man. before natasha could do anything as if her prince charming came to her rescue. max had left her post to be with tony and came to rescue natasha however she was invisible in the process.

max kicked scott in the groin before locking his arms on his sides. he went to miniaturize but max broke his suit so he couldn't do it. "damn it." he cussed as max tossed the man up and throwing his head over heels, leaving him gasping for air on the concrete. natasha then zapped him sending the tired man into a nearby truck where the impact left a big dent on the side of the vehicle. "you're good, max. i like you." natasha says as max salutes the redhead before going in a different direction. 

meanwhile things on the terminal, things are looking a different way, bucky turns to sam with furrowed brows. "what the hell is that?" ingrid starts flying as she has a grappling hook. "grab on papa." ingrid says as bucky looked up and saw the hook he grabbed on it and ingrid took him on a ride. "you've got to be shitting me!"

peter swings through the glass and kicks sam backwards. bucky went in for the attack, swinging his metal arm for the boy's face, but peter being much younger and more agile, caught his fist. "you have a metal arm? that is awesome dude!" sam quickly recovers from the attack and punches sam. "you have the right to remain silent!" the teenager shouts. with the two men mid-air now, peter manages to fend off sam, then swings right after him, hot in his tail. 

bucky looked around for ingrid, and saw he struggling against her webbed hands. that peter so graciously webbed. bucky raised an eyebrow at seeing her struggle and went to help her. once he got closer to her he heard her saying some cuss words under her breath. "trakhni yego." ingrid muttered to herself as bucky grabbed a knife and cutted the web. 'fuck him'.

once ingrid was freed from the webs the two of them ran after. "god i hate him, so fucking much." ingrid said as she almost tripped but bucky caught her balance. "thanks." she said grimly as bucky nodded his head.

meanwhile the controversy continues at the terminal back at the lot as iron man shoots rockets from his suit at clint, trying to stir up some tension from him who has been unusually quiet during the back-and-forth banter between tony and steve earlier. "clearly retirement doesn't suit you. you got tired shooting golf?" tony says to hawkeye. 

"well i played 18, i shot 18. just can't seem to miss it." clint says knowing it would scare the hell out of tony said clint aims an arrow for tony's head firing without hesitation before tony deflects it with ease. "first time for everything." tony says. "made you look." clint retorted back. 

suddenly a car slams past iron man, he looks up as dozens more come crashing down. ingrid rows her glowing hands until iron man is buried under a pile of cars. ingrid did that while she was floating in the air as she is sorta multi-tasking with everything going on. "multiple contusions detected." FRIDAY informed tony. "yeah, i detected that too." he says grimly to his AI. 

peter parker who has been chasing after sam for a while, dodging cars and windows and bombs in sam's suit, would deploy stops at a high beam. "oh god." he grumbles as bucky throws something up at him. "hey, buddly. i think you lost this!" peter shouts as he throws it back, sam kicks him off the beam and peter fires a web which ends sam crashing to the floor. 

"those wings are carbon fiber?" peter asks. "is this stuff coming out of you?" sam asks referring to peter's webs. "that would explain the rigidity-flexibility ratio, which, gotta say, that's awesome man." peter says as ingrid rolls her tongue around in her mouth as she stands with her arms crossed over her chest. "ty prosto ne ostanavlivayesh'sya, ne tak li?" ingrid says in peter's direction as she chuckled darkly to the teenager, as there is a little bit of a breeze coming in. 'you just don't stop, do you'.

"um--uh, um--uh, sorry---mi---miss, i don--don't speak what y-you, just said." peter says awkwardly as bucky gave him an emotionless look, not liking that this teenager is talking to his daughter. "i don't know if you've been in a fight before but there's usually not this much talking." sam responds, saving ingrid from committing murder, well that's most likely going to be by bucky in the first place. 

"alright, sorry by my bad." peter says as he swings down as bucky jumps in the way. bucky and sam fall through the glass down onto the next floor and peter webs them. "guys, look, i'd love to keep this up but i've got only one job here today and i gotta impress mr. stark, so, i'm really sorry." peter says as red wing (sam's bird sidekick) drags peter through the glass as said boy screams. 

"you couldn't have done that earlier?" bucky says with an incredulous look. "i hate you." sam replies as ingrid stands perfectly still on a beam. "are you two done? we don't have all day." ingrid says as she successfully jumped down the ten foot beam. "get us out slugger." sam says to the girl as she gave him a look. "why would i do that for you? hmm." she says as she already got her father unstuck (get it, haha). 

outside in the lot steve is fighting off war machine, t'challa and ada. rogers kicks rhodey out of their and then sends t'challa reading. war machine's mace ends up broke, courtesy of steve himself. "great." rhodey murmurs to himself. "hey cap, heads up!" scott shouts as he tosses up a miniature truck at the man. "throw it at this. now!!" scott says as steve throws it at the truck emerges tumbling towards rhodey. "oh come on!!" rhodey shouts as the truck lands and explodes. "oh, man. i thought it was a water truck. uh....sorry." scott says as him and steve run off.

"alright, now i'm pissed." rhodey says solely to himself. tony helps natasha up. "us this part of the plan?" she asks. "well, my plan was to go easy on them. you wanna switch it up?" tony asks the redhead as max recovered from her thing too. "uh, um, i think it's too late for that." max says as she rubs her already aching head. clint spots the quinjet. "there's our ride." the hawkeye says as steve groans. "come on!"

steve's team runs towards the quinjet, a fizzing stream of energy slices across the runway and they stop as vision hovers overhead. "captain rogers. i know you believe what you're doing is right. but the collective good must surrender now." the android says as now tony's team arrives. "what do we do, steve?" ingrid murmurs to steve. "we fight." steve replies as his voice is firm. 

"well this was fun while it lasted." ingrid commented as ada and max nodded their heads. "this isn't gonna end well." natasha adds sarcastically as she starts her trek towards the opposing side, her strides are long and confident. the team started to follow suit, soon their feet are in perfect sync as they picked up their face. steve's side did the same. "they're not stopping." peter states warily. "neither are we." tony replied.

steve blocks a punch as iron man lands. clint fires an arrow at vision. war machine flies after falcon and bucky trades blows with t'challa, as ingrid and ada fight. an explosive arrow hits iron man, natasha throws scott, as peter swings through the air, struggling to evade vehicles projected by ingrid. bucky lands punches on t'challa, clint and natasha battle with batons.

"we're still friends right?" natasha asks as she gets tackled to the ground by clint as they had each other's hands on their throats. "depends on how hard you hit me." clint says as he spins natasha with her legs. as he's about to kick nat's face, he sees his foot stops and glows a bright red. "you were pulling your punches" ingrid observed as clint gazes down at natasha and nods sheepishly.

meanwhile, t'challa, bucky, ada and ingrid have each other by their throats, struggling against their strong grips. "we didn't kill your father." bucky manages to wheeze out, clawing at t'challa's grasp, on him.

"then why did you two run?" t'challa accuses. said t'challa pulls bucky's hand off his neck, and then spins him and fly-kicks him backwards. he sprouts claws and aims for bucky's neck, but ingrid stops his hand, and then waves her arms and sends t'challa crashing into a passenger gangway.

peter swings out, as steve snaps the web with his shield. "that thing does not obey the laws of physics at all." peter comments regarding steve's shield. "look kid. there's a lot going on here that you don't understand, along with your cousin." steve replies. "mr stark said you'd say that. wow." peter says

sam dodges bullets and ray's, firing back at iron man with as much brute force as possible but to no avail, he speaks into his radio. "clint, can you get him off me?"

"buckled in?" clint asks scott who is miniaturized on top of clint's arrow. "yeah. no. i'm good. arrow guy. let's go. let's go!" as clint fired the arrow, the head splits and iron man shoots the shards. scott dives between iron man's splayed fingers and slips inside the iron man suit, at the shoulder joint.

steve catches a web and tugs peter towards him, knocking him down with the shield. peter recovers and pulls himself up on top of a gangway. "does stark tell you anything else?" 

"that you're wrong. you think you're right. that makes you dangerous." peter says as he swings down and steve leaps to kick him backwards onto the gangway's leg. "guess he had a point." steve says throwing his shield at the leg, slicing through the platform with ease. peter reacting quickly holds it  up with a grunt. "you've got a heart kid. where're you from?"

"queens." peter replies with a shaky breath. "brooklyn." steve says as he leaves peter holding the gangway. clint continues to fire arrows at tony trying to knock him from his hovering place. with his lasers malfunctioning tony sighs as he automated partner-in-crime spoke from his suit. 

"we have some weapon systems offline." FRIDAY informed tony as he is flat out confused. "the-what?" tony asks confused. scott is tearing away random wires and unplugging eerie other fuse chuckles. "oh, you're gonna have to take this into the shop." tony has a perplexed face he speaks to the little voice coming from inside the suit. "who's speaking?" 

"it's your conscience. we don't talk a lot these days." scott says. "FRIDAY?" tony says. "deploying fire suppression system." the AI said. "uh--oh." scott says. "oh, boy. whoa!" he says as inside the suit scott sprints through narrow banks of components, as he is being chased by a rolling cloud of CO2. he is ejected from the suit.

bucky breathless speaks into the radio. "we gotta go, that guy's probably in siberia by now." "we gotta draw out the flyers. i'll take vision, you get on the get." steve replies with a rather disheveled expression. "i got something kind of big, but i can't hold it very long. on my signal, run like hell, and if i tear myself in half....don't come back for me." scott spoke as ingrid and bucky had a weird look. 

"he's gonna tear himself in half?" ingrid asks as her russian accent is coming through. the girl turns to bucky hoping that he'd have an answer to her question. "papa, pochemu etot chelovek budet...razryvat' sebya popolam?" ingrid asks as bucky looked at her before shrugging his shoulders as the teenager groaned at his response. which means, 'papa, why is that man going to be...tearing himself in half?'

"ya dumayu, eto potomu, chto on sozdayet diversiyu. kak otvlecheniye poetomu my sadimsya na kvindzhet." bucky says to the girl as she slowly nods her head warily at what he said. but didn't want to question it. which means, 'i think it's because he's creating a diversion. like distraction, so we get on the quinjet'.

"okh, ladno. khotya on budet v poryadke." ingrid mumbled as she was still confused but yet was interested of what was going to happen. 'oh, okay. will he be okay though'.

"i hope so, doll." bucky says as he lightly kissed the girl's head as her back was pressed against bucky's chest as he had both arms wrapped around her stomach keeping her close and safe. a feeling she hadn't felt in such a long time as she almost missed it. but she also knows that it won't last long due to the circumstances going on right now. but she's living up on the moment as much as she can.

"you're sure about this scott?" steve says in a concerned tone, gnawing on the bottom of his lip nervously a habit he does when he's nervous. "i do it all the time. i mean once...in a lab. then i passed out. i'm the boss. i'm the boss. i'm the boss. i'm the boss. i'm the boss. I'M THE BOSS!" scott shouts as he leaps from mobile stairs and lands on war machine's back as he flies past. he operates his suit's wrist, and shuts his eyes and activates a remote. scott grows in a towering behemoth and grabs rhodey's leg in the process.

"holy shit!" peter yells watching the scene unfold in front of him with wide eyes as max just casually just watches it. "this .... is .... so .... cool." she says amazed at what happened. "okay, tiny dude, is big now. he's big now." rhodey says clearly struggling against giant man. "i guess that's the signal." steve murmurs sprinting towards the opposing members.

"way to do tic tac?" sam says chuckling referring to scott who was now a towering giant, looking over the team as if he were godzilla flying in to save his team member slash best friend, tony speak. "give me back my rhodey." but before iron man could snatch rhodey, sam flies head first into him, knocking the both of them to the hot concrete.

"i got him!" scott sends rhodey flying as peter catches him with a web. a now gigantic ant man kicks a bus towards t'challa and ada. vision descends and braces himself, splitting the bus in two and protecting t'challa and ada from harm. t'challa and ada spot steve, bucky and ingrid. chasing sam, iron man evades scott swinging the wing of a plane at him. 

"okay, anybody on our side hiding any shocking and fantastic abilities, they'd like to disclose. i'm open to suggestions." tony speaks breathlessly. sam arrows towards iron man firing red wing which cracks into tony's helmet. scott blocks t'challa and ada's path who tried to sprint after the trio of steve, bucky and ingrid.

"you wanna get them...you gotta go through me." scott says as he sweeps his gigantic foot through the crates that t'challa and ada are standing on, smashing them to pieces. scott is engulfed in explosions as war machine swoops towards him with peter clinging to a web stuck on rhodey's back. he fires more webs and wraps them around scott's over-sized arms. 

clint fires arrows at t'challa who catches two right in front of his face. after the arrowheads explode he drops them and rises, extending his claws. "we haven't met yet." clint says as he flattens hi bow and spins it around. "i'm clint."

"i don't care." t'challa says as he is wielding the bow like a staff, and clint attacks t'challa who acrobatically ducks then counters with a high kick. 

giant ant-man punches war machine in the air and swings a gangway towards him as he recovers. rhodey opens fire and the gangway disintegrates. scott tries to stamp on war machine who dives clear evading a lunge of scott's hand. as peter continues to bring scott with his webs, the gigantic man didn't notice the floating vision sneaking up from behind, ramming in him. vision spots steve, bucky and ingrid approaching the hangar, as ant-man wavers. he simply floats through scott's chest.

"something just flew through me!" vision fires a shining beam of energy from his mind stone and the control tower collapses towards the entrance of the hangar. as ingrid is running she saw the hangar was falling as she struggled to keep it at bay, screaming in agony at the amount of power it was draining from her body. then both bucky and steve said this. "ingrid just let go." steve says as ingrid shook her head as she continued to scream. "then we wouldn't make it." she said as she stopped. "just do it, doll." when bucky said that she just stopped as steve grabbed her. 

"you're not gonna stop?" natasha asks as she looks at her boyfriend. "you know i can't." steve says as natasha held up her wrists. "i'm going to regret this." she says as she stuns both t'challa and ada who was behind steve, bucky and ingrid. steve, bucky and ingrid run to the quinjet as nat keeps t'challa and ada under her control.

"hey, guys you ever seen that really old movie, empire strikes back?" peter asks as rhodey continues to fly. "jesus, tony, how old is this guy?"

"i don't know, i didn't carbon-date him. he's on the young side." tony says as peter swings towards ant-man. "you know that part...where they're on the snow planet...with the walking thingies?" peter says as he wraps webs around scott's legs. "maybe the kid's on something." tony says understanding what he's talking about.

"high now, tony. go high." rhodey says as peter swings around and around ant-man's legs as iron man and war machine power towards his head both landing blows together. "yes! ha ha! that was awesome!" giant man topples. flailing limb catches peter and knock him flying just before scott slams into the ground on his back. he returns to normal size and removes the faceplate of his helmet, grimacing.

"does anyone have any orange slices?" scott says as he lays on the ground. meanwhile a fight has occurred in the sky at least of those who can fly.

piloting the quinjet steve looks over his shoulder and spots war machine encroaching to the right. steve pushes forward on the thrusters. iron man flies besides rhodey as sam follows them. "vision, i have a bandit on my sixth." rhodey says wanting to get sam off his ass. sad sam flies small explosives which erupt as vision takes aim and fires his head laser. falcon spots it coming and he tucks into a tumble. the laser overshoots and slices through the core on war machine's chest plate. rhodey loses power and goes into a spinning freefall. "rhodey!" tony yells as he makes a dive towards his friend.

"tony, i'm flying dead stick." rhodey says as he plunges the suit emits black smoke. iron man swoops down towards him. rhodey's eyes start to close.

"RHODES!" tony yells as war machine smacks into a wide, grassy field just before iron man lands nearby. his helmet retracks and he pulls off war machine's face plate. rhodey's eyes are closed and there's blood on his face. "read vitals." FRIDAY soon responds. "heartbeat detected. emergency medical care is on it's way.

sam swoops down and lands on his feet as his wings retract. "i'm sorry." he says as tony zaps him backwards with a blast of energy from the palm of his suit. vision glides to the ground just in front of sam. stony faced tony remains with his arms around war machine.
