Clint “Hawkeye” Barton goes
undercover at the funeral of an ex-Hydra official. His snarky
attitude and boorish manners lead the top man, Peter Antone,
Ambassador to Chernaya, to question his presence. A fight breaks out,
leading to the funeral home burning to the ground. And so Hawkeye
heads to Chernaya. His objective: to learn if Natasha Romanoff, the
Black Widow, is still alive and killing former Hydra operatives....
Arriving in the troubled nation, Clint
is caught up in a crowd heading to stage a protest at the US Embassy.
Once there, he attacks the guards and is arrested; as they go to put
him in a van, he escapes, thinking he sees Natasha on the building's
roof. Entering the Embassy he makes his way to Peter Antone's office,
offering protection. They come under fire and Hawkeye fires (arrows)
back and discovers his opponent is the Winter Soldier. They puzzle
out that they are both there to prevent the murders of Hydra
officials and both see the killings as pointing to their former
lover, Black Widow. Bucky finds Natasha's calling card (an hourglass)
indicating she had killed someone on that site. And then Antone
discovers the bomb—which detonates....
