Bucky
“Winter Soldier” Barnes and Sam “Falcon” Wilson, slowly recover from the
beating delivered to them by The Natural, a deceptively youthful Hydra killer
who took Veronica Eden with him. After a brief debate over whether Bucky should
have killed him when he had the chance (Sam doesn’t want Bucky turning into the
Punisher), they realize they still have the time to intercept the train
carrying Zemo’s protégé, who is locked in a power struggle with a rival to be
the new head of Hydra….
Falcon
flies Winter Soldier to the train and they enter the last car where all the
passengers turn out to be Hydra agents and they must fight their way to
safety—followed by six more cars with the same situation. Sam and Bucky then
enter the final car and confront Zemo’s protégé—who turns out to be Baron Zemo
himself, whose death was “reversible.” Bucky wants to kill Zemo on the spot but
Zemo informs him that his rival would become Supreme Hydra and he is planning a
series of devastating terrorist attacks whereas Zemo would merely continue
business as usual. Zemo also says that The Natural does not work for him and he
had nothing to do with the killings at the Office of Federal Utilities (OFU),
since Hydra was using the OFU’s leaked reports to recruit members. Zemo offers
to work together, giving them The Natural’s parents’ address as a way to his
rival; otherwise, he will leak to the media word of Bucky’s job with the OFU
which would lead to prison for him….
Sam
and Bucky go to Altoona, Pennsylvania, where they visit the parents of The
Natural. The middle-aged couple comes out dressed in Captain America gear,
claiming they are their biggest fans….
