The mission was supposed to be simple. Stop a weapons shipment, arrest the bad guys, and get home before midnight. Instead, a warehouse was on fire, Peter was panicking, Kate was blaming everyone else, and Yelena was threatening to shoot someone.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice cut through the channel, cold and sharp as a blade.

Everyone froze. Even the fire seemed to crackle a little quieter.

From the smoke emerged Bucky Barnes, looking absolutely furious. His dark tactical gear was streaked with soot, and his metal hand flexed at his side. His eyes swept across the destruction, the burning crates, the scattered weapons, before landing directly on you.

Behind him, Sam Wilson appeared, arms crossed. He took one look at the scene, then at your team, then at Bucky, and a slow grin spread across his face.
