Steve then gets a text message "Mission Alert. Extraction imminent. Meet at the curb :)" "Alright, Sam, duty calls. Thanks for the run. If that's what you wanna call running"

Sam Dramatically rolls his eyes

They shake hands "Oh, that's how it is?"

'oh, that's how it is."

Sam laughs "Okay. any time you wanna stop by the VA, make me look awesome in front of the girl at the front desk, just let me know.

"I'll keep it in mind"

"Okay"

Just then, Anastasia pulls up in her car, by the curb and rolls down her window. "Hey fellas. Either one of you know where the Smithsonain is? I'm here to pick up a fossil."

Everyone laughs at their interaction while Steve sends her a look, she laughs in response.

"That's hilarious." Steve says, he then walks over to her car and gets in, Sam gives Anastasia and her car and appreciative look. 

"How you doing?" He greets

"Hey."

"Can't run everywhere." Steve says

"No, you can't." He watches as Anastasia pulls away and drives off.

Flying over the Indian Ocean, the duo are with SHIELD agents, led by Brock Rumlow. "The target is a mobile satellite launch platform: The Lemurian Star. They were sending up their last payload when pirates took them, 93 minutes ago.

"Any demands?" Steve asks

"A billion and a half"

"Wowza" Sam comments

"Because it's SHIELD's"

"relax, it's not that complicated"

Steve scoffs 

"How many Pirates?" He asks

"Twenty-five, top mercs, led by this guy. George Batroc." Rumlow says showing them a photo of Batroc on the monitor. "Ex-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's Red Notice. Before the French demobilized him, he had thirty-six kill missions. This guy's got a re for maximum casualties."

"Hostages?"

"Uh-... mostly techs. One officer, Jasper Sitwell" He tells them, he then pulls up Sitwell's photo on the monitor.

Steve, Anastasia, Sam and Bucky frown, now knowing they were both HYDRA

"They're in the galley."

"What's Sitwell doing on a launch ship?" Steve questions out loud "Alright, I'm gonna sweep the deck and find Batroc. Stas, you'll kill the engines and wait for instructions. Rumlow, you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to the life-pods, get 'em out. Let's move" He orders 

"Strike, you heard the Cap, Gear up." As they get ready to dive off the jet, Steve talks into his wrist communicator "Secure channel seven."

"Seven secure. Did you do anything fun Saturday night?" Anastasia converses
