Man on PA: We are in final launch sequence.

SHIELD Tech: We are go on guidance.

Woman on PA: All personnel to launch station.

Pierce meets the World Security Council as they arrive at the Triskelion.

Alexander Pierce: And how was your flight?

Councilwoman Hawley: Lovely. 

Councilwoman McKenzie: The ride from the airport less so.

Alexander Pierce: Sadly, SHIELD can't control everything.

Councilman Rockwell: Including Captain America. 

Pierce walks over to one of the guards who hands him a case containing four pins.

Alexander Pierce: This facility is biometrically controlled, and these will give you unrestricted access. 

The council members each take a pin to wear.

Com Tech #1: I've been parking there for two months.

Com Tech #2: But it's his spot.

Com Tech #1: So where's he been?

Com Tech #2: I think Afghanistan.

Com Tech #1: Negative, DT-6. The pattern is full. Well, he could have said something. 

Suddenly they hear a sharp noise through their earpiece.

Com Tech #1: Ow!

Com Tech #2: Must be the dish.

Com Tech #1: I'll check it out.

Man on PA: Triskelion command request we clear the area for launch.

As the Tech goes and opens the door he's faced with Steve, Sam, y/n and Hill on the other side of the door, Sam and Hill point their guns at him.

Steve Rogers: Excuse us. 

The tech holds his hands up and steps aside to let them enter.

Alexander Pierce: I know the road hasn't exactly been smooth, and some of you would have gladly kicked me out of the car along the way. Finally we're here, and the world should be grateful. 

As they start drinking to Pierce's toast suddenly they hear Steve over the SHIELD microphone that everyone in the building can hear.

Steve Rogers: Attention, all SHIELD agents. This is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me over the last few days, some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth. SHIELD is not what we thought it was, it's been taken over by HYDRA. 

y/n: Alexander Pierce is their leader. The STRIKE and Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. 

Steve Rogers: They almost have what they want: absolute control. They shot Nick Fury and it won't end there. 

y/n: If you launch those Helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way, unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot, but the price of freedom is high, it always has been... 

Steve Rogers: But it's a price we're willing to pay. And if we're the only two, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet we're not. 

Sam Wilson: Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head? 

Councilman Rockwell: You smug son of a bitch.

Councilman Singh: Arrest him. 

The HYDRA agent points his gun at Singh.
