"So, you like cats?" The silence of the van was broken by Sam's excuse of humor. Vienna scoffed and rolled her eyes but didn't turn back to look at the men. She was sitting in the passenger seat of the transport van. Along with Sam was T'Challa and Steve.

"Sam." Vienna could hear the exasperation in Steve's voice.

"What? Dude shows up dressed like a cat and you don't wanna know more?" Sam spoke, trying to defend himself.

Steve ignored him completely and instead turned his attention to the prince, "Your suit's... Vibranium?"

Vienna scoffed and turned to look at the men, "Of course it's made of vibranium, it's the Black Panther. Good god, you people are superheroes and you never investigated others." She noticed the shocked look T'Challa sent her but ignored it and turned forward in her seat.

T'Challa said, "She is correct, The Black Panther has been the protector of Wakanda for generations. A mantle, passed from warrior to warrior. And now, because your friend murdered my father, I also wear the mantle of king. So, I ask you . . . as both warrior and king . . . how long do you think you can keep your friend safe from me?" Vienna sneaked another look and was met with Steve's stony face as they pulled into an underground garage.

They exited the van and watched as Barnes was uploaded in a pod from another van. He looked up and Vienna could have sworn there was a hint of recognition in his eyes when they met hers but that thought was crushed when they rolled him away. Vienna, Sam, Steve, and T'challa walked towards a blonde, Vienna recognized her as Sharon, and a small gray-haired man.

"What's gonna happen to him?" Steve asked, gesturing towards Barnes' pod.

"Same thing that ought to happen to you. Psychological evaluation and extradition." The man spoke with a grave face and Vienna almost smiled at his words.

"This is Everett Ross, Deputy Task Force Commander." Sharon noticed Steve's expression and introduced the man.

Steve then said, "What about our lawyer?" And Vienna did smile.

"Lawyer. That's funny. See their weapons are placed in lockup. Oh, we'll write you a receipt." Ross stated as he began to walk away, the rest of them following.

"I better not look out the window and see anybody flying around in that." Sam relented, gazing towards his wings.

Their 6 person party made their way towards a set of offices where Vienna knew Tony and Nat would be waiting, Ross continued speaking, "You'll be provided with an office instead of a cell. Now, do me a favor, stay in it?"

T'Challa's voice was stubborn when he replied, "I don't intend on going anywhere."

As they walked into the offices Vienna spotted a familiar red-head walking towards them and was greeted with Nat's scolding voice, "For the record, this is what making things worse looks like.

"He's alive." Steve reasoned.

They could hear Tony yelling into his phone from a nearby office, "No. Romania was not Accords-sanctioned. And, Colonel Rhodes is supervising cleanup."

Nat pointed to Steve and Sam with a look before walking with Vienna into a different office, "Try not to break anything while we fix this."

Vienna was escorted into an office and told Nat everything that happened in Bucharest, she did this with incredible accuracy, a skill left over from HYDRA. After she had finished Nat brought her a sandwich and a large cup of coffee.

"Stay here, rest. We aren't a hundred percent sure what you're going to do now that training is done but we can discuss it with Tony after all this is settled." Nat said.
