    "Hey, Sharon. You sure this is the right one?" Sam asked looking in the empty container. "It's completely empty."

    "Positive. It has to be." She tells us over the radio as we walk in.

Zemo turns on a flashlight and walks to the back looking it over before pushing it in.
We walk into the secret hall, music gets louder as we walk further.
We walked into a lab, we held our guns up ready as we walked around. We spotted a man working in the back. Sam and Zemo approached him. Sam turned off the music and the man turned around.

    "Dr. Nagel?" Sam questions.

    "Who are you? What do you want?" Nagel asked.

    "We know you created the Super-Soldier serum." Sam told him.

    "Get out of my lab." Nagel demanded.

    "Hey!" Sam called after him as Nagel walked off but stopped dead at the sight of Bucky and me. "You know who they are, right? This is Baron Zemo. I know you've heard of him, too, right? You seem like a pretty smart guy. So you better become conversational real quick." Sam pushed Nagel to the wall.

   "How about a counter proposal? Make me a better offer and I'll talk." Nagel challenge, I hated his voice, it sounded sick, exhausted and cruel.

    "How about, you tell us what you know and you might get to keep your life." I tell him.

   "Guys, we have company." Sharon told us over the radio.

Bucky grabbed Nagel by the shirt and pushed him down into a chair with a gun pointed to his head. 

    "Every bounty hunter in the city is here. We gotta go!" Sharon urged.
Bucky fired a shot right in front of Nagels head.

   "Okay. Okay." Nagel shakes and Bucky lowers the gun. "I was brought into HYDRA's Winter Soldier program to pick their work after the five failed tests subjects in Siberia. When HYDRA fell, I was recruited by the CIA. They had blood samples from an American test subject with semi-stable traces of serum in his system. After much labor, I was able to isolate the necessary compounds in his blood. I was a god. I did what no other scientist since Erskine was able to do. But mine was going to be different. No clunky machines or jacked up bodies." I look at myself, my body wasn't exactly jacked up, it was just simple, and normal, I have abs but my body isn't completely muscular, I stayed me.  "Mine was going to be subtle, optimized, perfect."

    "How have we never heard about this?" Sam wondered.

"Because... Before I was able to complete my work, I turned to dust. Then when I returned, it was five years later, program had been abandoned, so I came here. The Power Broker was more than happy to fund the recreation of my work." Nagel explained.

"How many vials did you make?" I asked.

"Twenty. Karli Morgenthau stole those, so... I can only imagine what the Power Broker has planned for that poor girl." Nagel told us.

"Where's Karli now?" Sam asked.

"I don't know where she is. But a couple days ago, she called and asked if I could help someone named Donya Madani. Poor woman has tuberculosis. Typically of overpopulation in displaced camps like that." Nagel explained.

"Well, what happened to her?" Sam wondered.

"Not my pig. Not my farm." Nagel shrugged.

"Is there any serum in this lab?" Bucky asked and held the gun back up to Nagel's head.

"No." Nagel shook.

"Now what?" Bucky wondered taking the gun off his head.

"Guys, we're seriously outta time here." Sharon ran in.

"NO!" Sam yelled as Zemo quickly whipped out a gun, firing a single shot. Hitting Nagel through the heart.

"What did you do?" Sharon gasped looking at Nagels body hit the floor.

Fire burst from a wall, Bucky grabbed me pushing me to the ground as the blast went off.
An alarm blared and a red light flashed.

"Are you okay?" I look over Bucky.

"Yeah." He groaned and looked me over. We helped each other up. The glasses rattled and Bucky and I both knew what was about to happen.

"Anybody see Zemo?" Sam groaned as we got over to them.

"Let's go." Bucky pulled up Sam and we ran out.
There was a loud bang as the lab exploded. We got out of the container smoke everywhere from the explosion.

"All right! Wait for my signal!" Bucky shouted as people started shooting at us. Sam shot back and ran along the crate that fell. "Damn it!"
Bucky shot around the corner at some people.
I got out beside him and shot one of the people as we moved around to Sam.

"And you like living here?" Sam yelled.

"It's not terrible." Sharon answered firing a couple shots.
I shoot two other people before I'm out.

"I thought we were gonna go left?" Bucky asked Sam as he ran out of bullets.

"You went the wrong way!" Sam yelled.

"I was cleaning the way!" Bucky shouted.

"I came out first. Your support to follow me!" Sam yelled.

"And where are we now?" Bucky yelled,

"Guys, not the time!" Sharon told them.

"I usually let it run it's course." I tell her as the two continue to argue.

"I'm out!" Sharon said.

"This is a barricade." Bucky shouted.

"It's in every action movie!" Sam reasoned.

Suddenly someone shot a pipe causing it to explode, we duck.
I watch a a man in a purple mask jumped down taking on the men. He grabbed one using him as a shield as he shot the others and finally shot him then looked over at us.

"Go." Bucky told us and we ran out. We ran through the containers when we were shot at again.

"Buck!" Sam yelled as we ran into a container. Bucky grabbed one of the handles knocking a guy down before throwing it into a woman that was shooting at us shoulder.

"Bucky." I pull him in closing the container.

Bucky pushed the doors open as a car approached the container we look to see Zemo drive up in a convertible.

"Supercharged." Zemo smiled.

"You're going back to jail." Sam told him.

"Do you want to find Karli or not?" Zemo wondered.

"He's right. We need him." I tell Sam.

"There's three of us, and at least 20 of them." Bucky climbed into the car. I got in behind Zemo.

"Fine. But if you try that shit again..." Sam warned.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Zemo said.

"Well, that was one hell of a reunion." Sharon shut the door for Sam.

"Come back to the States with us." Sam offered.

"I can't. Just get me that pardon you promised me." Sharon walked off.

"Thanks for everything." Sam told her. "You're not gonna move your seat up, are you?"

"No." Bucky answered.
