Inside a bank vault, the HYDRA agents fix Bucky's metal arm and as they do so he has a brief flashback to his old life after he was recovered by Zola and the HYDRA agents

Dr. Arnim Zola:
Sergeant Barnes...

He has to flashback to falling off the train at the edge of the mountain with Steve trying to save him

Steve Rogers:
Bucky, no!

He then has flashback to after he's picked up by Hydra agents

Bukcy grimaced at the scene and felt his wrist being squeezed slightly. He turns to see Regulus giving him a small smile.

Dr. Arnim Zola:
The procedure has already started.

We see the Zola and the Hydra agent amputating his left arm and replacing with the metal arm

Dr. Arnim Zola:
You are to be the new fist of HYDRA.

Dr. Arnim Zola:
Put him on ice.

we see Bucky being frozen after which he comes back to the present and knocks over the HYDRA agent fixing his arm, Rollins points his gun at him to stop him attacking any further

Everyone flinched at the sight, some even looked at Bucky in fear.

Scientist #1:
Sir, he's...he's unstable. Erratic.

Pierce enters with Rumlow and some other HYDRA agents and goes over to Bucky

Alexander Pierce:
Mission report.

Bucky Barens:
looking blank, doesn't respond

Alexander Pierce:
Mission report, now.

Pierce moves closer to Bucky and suddenly strikes him hard in the face

Some jump back at the sudden impact. Regulus' jaws tighten, knowing the feeling of being struck in the face. When a hex wasn't enough, his mother tended to turn physical.

Bucky Barnes:
The man on the bridge...

he has flashback to Steve calling him by his name

Bucky: Who was he?
Alexander Pierce:

You met him earlier this week on another assignment.

Bucky Barnes:
I knew him and the other one.

Bucky Barnes:
I trained him.

A flashback is shown of a younger, emotionless man in front of him.

Winter Soldier:
Π’Π΅Π΄ΡŒΠΌΠ°

The Winter Soldier is staring hungrily at the man in front of him.

Regulus:
L'hiver

They both look at each other with a hint of something else behind their eyes.

Everyone now is looking at both Bucky and Regulus. It was quite obvious that the man in the flashback was not far off from an older version of Regulus. He looked different. Not in terms of age, but arua. He looked like so much had been taken away from him. Regulus didn't really know what to think. In reality, he had been sure he wouldn't make it past nineteen. Sirius didn't know what to feel. His brother, who was always cocky and smirking, looked different. He looked too much like his mother, emotionless but with anger and rage behind those dark eyes.

Alexander Pierce:
Your work has been a gift to mankind. You shaped the century, and I need you to do it one more time. Society is at a tipping point between order and chaos. Tomorrow morning we're gonna give it a push. But, if you don't do your part, I can't do mine, and HYDRA can't give the world the freedom it deserves.

Bucky Barnes:
But I knew him.

Pierce turns to the scientists

Alexander Pierce:
Prep him.

Scientist #1:
He's been out of cryo-freeze too long.

Alexander Pierce:
Then wipe him and start over.

The scientists strap Bucky in his chair and then place a teeth shield in his mouth as they begin the process of wiping his brain with Bucky screaming in pain

Many wizards looked at the screen in horror, one reason being that they didn't know muggles had this much power. They had always thought muggles were a little weaker, and some even thought they were completely useless, but seeing the opposite made them question their own society. Others felt sadness and fear of Hydra and what they could do. They didn't know if Hydra was in the wizarding world and didn't even know.

Regulus and Natasha's comfort Bucky as he begins to shut down, not wanting to relive the past.

Back at the secret facility

Nick Fury is looking at a photo of Pierce

Nick Fury
This man declined the Nobel Peace Prize. He said, "Peace wasn't an achievement, it was a responsibility." See, it's stuff like this that gives me trust issues.

Natasha Romanoff:
We have to stop the launch.

Nick Fury:
I don't think the Council's accepting my calls anymore.

Fury opens a case containing three chips

Sam Wilson:
What's that?

Maria Hill:
Once the Helicarriers reach three thousand feet, they'll triangulate with Insight satellites becoming fully weaponized.

Nick Fury:
We need to breach those carriers and replace their targeting blades with our own.

Maria Hill:
One or two won't cut it. We need to link all three carriers for this to work, because if even one of those ships remains operational a whole lot of people are gonna die.

Nick Fury:
We have to assume everyone aboard those carriers is HYDRA. We need to get pass them, insert the server blades, and maybe, just maybe, we can salvage what's left...

Steve Rogers:
We're not salvaging anything. We're not just taking down the carriers, Nick, we're taking down SHIELD.

Nick Fury:
SHIELD had nothing to do with it.

Steve Rogers:

You gave me this mission, this is how it ends. SHIELD's been compromised, you said so yourself. HYDRA grew right under your nose and nobody noticed.

"We like mean Steve" says Regulus nodding his head.

Nick Fury:
Why do you think we're meeting in this cave? I noticed.

Steve Rogers:
And how many paid the price before you did?

Nick Fury:
Look, I didn't know about Barnes.

Steve Rogers: Even if you have, would you have told me? Or would you have compartmentalized that too? SHIELD, HYDRA, it all goes.

Maria Hill:
He's right.

Fury looks at Regulus then Sam

Sam Wilson:
Don't look at me. I do what he does, just slower.

Nick Fury:
Well... Looks like you're giving the orders now, Captain.

Steve stands on a bridge and has a flashback to the time he spent with Bucky after Steve's mother's funeral

Bucky Barnes:
We looked for you after. My folks wanted to give you a ride to the cemetery.

They walk towards Steve's apartment

Steve Rogers:
I know, I'm sorry. I just...kind of wanted to be alone.

Bucky Barnes:
How was it?

Steve Rogers:
It was okay. She's next to Dad.

Steve looks down sadly. Oh how he missed his parents.

Bucky Barnes:
I was gonna ask...

Steve Rogers:
I know what you're gonna say, Buck, I just...

Bucky Barnes:
We can put the couch cushions on the floor like when we were kids. It'll be fun. All you gotta do is shine my shoes, maybe take out the trash.

As they get to the apartment door, Steve tries to find his keys, Bucky kicks a brick aside, picks up the apartment keys from under it and gives it to Steve

Bucky Barnes:
Come on.

Steve Rogers:

Thank you, Buck, but I can get by on my own.

Bucky Barnes:

The thing is, you don't have to.

Bucky gives Steve a friendly pat on the shoulder

Bucky Barnes:
I'm with you to the end of the line, pal.

Many smiled at the scene, and both Bucky and Steve smiled at each other. Bucky couldn't help but shake the feeling that that wasn't the case.

Steve's thoughts of Bucky are interrupted as Sam joins him on the bridge

Sam Wilson:
He's gonna be there, you know?

Steve Rogers:
I know.

Sam Wilson:
Look, whoever he used to be, the guy he is now, I don't think he's the kind you save. He's the kind you stop.

Steve Rogers:
I don't know if I can do that.

Sam Wilson:
Well, he might not give you a choice. He doesn't know you.

Steve Rogers:
He will. Gear up, it's time.

Steve turns and starts to walk off

Sam Wilson:
You gonna wear that?

Steve Rogers:
No. If you're gonna fight a war, you gotta wear a uniform.

Later as a guard walks in the Smithsonian Museum when he looks over to the Captain America exhibit he notices the Captain America WWII uniform on that was on the dummy has been stolen

Smithsonian Guard:
Oh, man. I am so fired!

Regulus squints at the scene; it's that man again.

At the Triskelion where the Helicarriers are being held

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?

Councilman Singh:
Lovely. 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. At the Project Insight headquarters

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:
(into his earpiece)
Negative, DT-6. The pattern is full.

Com Tech #1:
(to his colleague)
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 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:
[addressing the World Security Council members]
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. 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. They almost have what they want: absolute control. They shot Nick Fury and it won't end there. 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, and it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not.

Everyone begins to clap. Steve did have a way with words sometimes. Sirius looks worried as he sees that Regulugs wasn't with them.

As Steve finishes his speech

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

Back to Pierce after learning the truth about him

Councilman Rockwell:
You smug son of a bitch.

Councilman Singh:
(to the two HYDRA agents enter the room, thinking they are SHIELD agents)
Arrest him.

The HYDRA agent points his gun at Singh

Alexander Pierce:
I guess I've got the floor.

Rumlow and his men break into the control room, where Agent 13 also is, Rumlow walks over to one of the techs

Brock Rumlow:
Preempt the launch sequence. Send those ships up now.

The tech hesitates visibly.

Brock Rumlow:
Is there a problem?

SHIELD Tech:
I'm...

The tech shakes his head nervously

Brock Rumlow:
Is there a problem?

SHIELD Tech:
I'm sorry, sir.

The tech takes a few nervous breaths before replying

SHIELD Tech:
I'm not gonna launch those ships. Captain's orders.

Rumlow points his gun at the tech's head

Brock Rumlow:
Move away from your station.

Agent 13 walks over to Rumlow pointing her gun at him

Sharon Carter:
Like he said!

Suddenly all the SHIELD agents draw their weapons and point them at Rumlow

Sharon Carter:

Captain's orders.

Tony begins clapping for his cousin. She had always known right from wrong. Many looked at the screen in amazement. Muggle women were very scary.

Brock Rumlow:
You picked the wrong side, Agent.

Sharon Carter:
Depends on where you're standing.

Rumlow drops his gun, but as he does he grabs his knife and cuts Agent 13's arm, leading to the SHIELD agents firing their guns, amidst the bullets, Rumlow manages to release the Helicarriers and runs off. As the bay doors holding the Helicarriers are about to be opened

Everyone looked in fear. This wasn't good at all.

SHIELD Agent:
Close the bay door! Close the bay door now! Close the bay door!

The HYDRA agents enter and start shooting and killing the crew and techs; at the headquarters Hill watches on the monitor as the Helicarriers are being initiated

Maria Hill:
They're initiating launch.

Steve and Sam make their way to the

Sam Wilson:
Hey, Cap, how do we know the good guys from the bad guys?

Steve Rogers:
If they're shooting at you, they're bad.

Sam, in his Falcon suit, flies off and Steve heads down, the HYDRA agents starting shooting at them, Sam flies around avoiding getting shot

Sam Wilson:
Hey, Cap, I found those bad guys you were talking about.

Steve Rogers:
You okay?

Sam is flying off as the HYDRA agents continue to shoot at him

Sam Wilson:
I'm not dead yet.

Pierce watches from the window the commotion caused by Steve and Sam trying to stop the Helicarriers launching, he turns to Singh

Alexander Pierce:
Let me ask you a question. What if Pakistan marched into Mumbai tomorrow, and you knew that they were gonna drag your daughters into a soccer stadium for execution?

Pierce hands Singh a glass of champagne

Alexander Pierce:
And you could just stop it with a flick of the switch. Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you all?

Councilwoman Hawley:
Not if it was your switch.

Singh tosses the glass aside, one of the HYDRA agents hands Pierce his gun and Pierce points it at Singh, suddenly Singh kicks Hawley away, then takes down the other HYDRA agents in the room before taking the gun and pointing at Pierce, he then removes his disguise to reveal it's Regulus

Everyone looks at Regulus with astonishment. Regulus looks at the screen in awe. Holy shit, that was badass. Sumblore looked at the group and asked in an overly sweet tone, "How is it that you were able to do this without polyjuice?" Tony looked at them again with a bored expression. "Technology," he said, as simple as that. Dumblore looked like he was crying in frustration.

Regulus:
I'm sorry. Did I step on your moment?

Well damn. That was hot. James couldn't help but blush at that. Many of the girls and boys swooned over that one line. Bucky and Natasha chuckled a bit.

Charlie Weapons Tech:
(referring to the Helicarriers)
Satellites in range at three thousand feet.

Maria Hill:
Falcon, status?

Sam Wilson:
Engaging.

Sam manages to fly down to the Hellicarrier bay taking down the HYDRA jets chasing him

Sam Wilson:
Alright, Cap, I'm in.

Just then another HYDRA jets heads his way and starts shooting at him

Sam Wilson:
Shit!

Sam manages to fly off and avoid getting hit, meanwhile Steve is fighting off the HYDRA agents as he tries to get inside the Helicarrier

Maria Hill:
Eight minutes, Cap.

Steve Rogers:
Working on it.

Councilman Rockwell:
(to Regulus who is on the computer)
What are you doing?

Alexander Pierce:
He's disabling security protocols and dumping all the secrets onto the Internet.

Regulus:
Including HYDRA's.

Alexander Pierce:
And SHIELD's. If you do this, non of your past is gonna remain hidden.

Regulus continues typing into the computer

Alexander Pierce:
Are you sure you're ready for the world to see you as you really are?

Regulus:
Are you?
