2016

This is a timeline of events that occurred in 2016.

15th

 * Assassination of Rosalind Price: Rosalind Price and Phil Coulson sit down to have dinner together, discussing work completely at ease. Suddenly there is a shatter of glass behind Coulson and he looks back to see that Price has been shot in the neck by an assassin. Price dies very quickly in a bloody mess on the floor, and Coulson receives a call from Grant Ward, revealing himself to have been the assassin. Coulson, enraged by the murder of his lover, tells Ward that he wants them to settle this feud and take him out. Ward, however, simply sends men in to kill Coulson for him, but Coulson, driven by anger, takes them out and escapes. He is picked up by Alphonso Mackenzie in a S.H.I.E.L.D. SUV to make a getaway.
 * On returning to the Playground, Coulson immediately begins to make moves with new urgency in his vendetta against Ward. He interrogates each of the members of his original team on their personal connections with Ward so as to learn anything he can about Ward's personality, motives and weaknesses. The team, however, begin to worry that Coulson's fury and drive for vengeance is blinding him and making him reckless.
 * Ward returns to the HYDRA Castle by the following morning (late night in the United States of America) to report back to Gideon Malick about successfully killing Rosalind Price.

16th

 * Coulson approaches Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse to help him in his personal mission against Ward, giving Hunter another chance to take out Ward after his earlier failure. He finishes making plans and sends Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons with Price's colleague and friend Luther Banks the Distant Star Facility warehouse to recover more information about the portals to the distant planet. Coulson then appoints Mackenzie as the stand-in director of S.H.I.E.L.D., knowing that the moves he is about to make are not acceptable or right for a director, then leaves with Morse and Hunter on his vendetta mission.
 * Ambush at the Distant Star Facility: On arriving at the facility, Fitz, Simmons and Banks are suddenly ambushed by Giyera and HYDRA agents. Giyera uses his metal manipulation powers to take Banks' gun and shoot him dead, along with all the other agents protecting them, and take Fitz and Simmons hostage.
 * Whilst Phil Coulson flies with Morse and Hunter to secretly find Ward's remaining brother as a bargain chip against him, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons are flown to Gloucestershire and brought before Ward and Malick at night by English time. The two of them together are resilient, but Ward, knowing them well, suggests they are split up.
 * Kidnapping of Thomas Ward: Meanwhile it is late afternoon in America, and when Alphonso Mackenzie lets Coulson know that Fitz and Simmons have gone missing, Coulson realizes that it is now vital his plan to take Thomas Ward works. Him, Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter stage a robbery together to break into the jewelry store where Thomas Ward works and kidnap him. They take Thomas Ward at gunpoint to his terror, as he does not know that they do not actually intend him any harm.
 * As the night draws on in England, Grant Ward makes Fitz listen to his partner's screams as Simmons is tortured next door, and teases him that he knows how much it is upsetting him. Coulson then calls Ward from Price's phone and shows him that he is holding his brother hostage, before hanging up prematurely to anger and get to Ward. Thomas Ward then explains, to the trio's surprise, that he hates his older brother and believes he is a bad man, and is proud that he himself has instead gone down a good path in life. When Ward calls back, Thomas tells him that he has tried to stay away from him all these years, and Ward is distracted by the conversation with his brother, not realizing that Coulson is simultaneously tracing the call. When they track the source to the HYDRA Castle, Coulson tells him his true motive and tells him he is coming to "put [him] down." Now night time in America, they drop Thomas Ward back home and set off to fly to England.

17th

 * As morning approaches back at the Playground, Melinda May and Alphonso Mackenzie decide together that now is the right time to call in Agent Daisy Johnson's team of Inhumans with Joey Gutierrez and Lincoln Campbell to help Coulson in taking on HYDRA. When the team assembles hours later, Mackenzie briefs the team on the mission at hand.
 * Evening arrives in Gloucestershire (around midday by Eastern American time) and as Coulson, Hunter and Morse approach the HYDRA Castle, Gideon Malick approaches Ward, asking him to travel to the planet, Maveth, for him. After doubting him at first, Ward eventually comes to understand Malick and agrees to lead the soldiers to the planet.
 * Leo Fitz, having agreed to go through the portal as a bargaining chip to help HYDRA so that they will not kill Jemma Simmons, quietly assures Simmons that when he returns, he will return with Will Daniels and not the mysterious dangerous creature which HYDRA wants to bring back. Malick then uses the fragments of the Monolith which he has been collecting so as to reopen the portal and Ward, Fitz and several HYDRA agents proceed to go through. As Coulson flies in above, he realizes that he has run out of time, and in the heat of the moment he makes another reckless decision from his desire for vengeance and dives from the Quinjet into the castle, falling through the portal from above just before it closes.
 * As Coulson falls through the portal, he flies out at the other end, crashing onto the ground of Maveth and knocked out on impact.
 * Over 6 hours into their time on Maveth, Leo Fitz attempts to steal Grant Ward's gun to escape, but Ward's reactions are too fast and he stops him. As they talk, the HYDRA soldiers discover a giant statue on the planet of an octopus resembling the HYDRA logo.
 * As the night continues in England (evening by Eastern American Time), Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse dock with the Zephyr One and inform Alphonso Mackenzie of Coulson's actions. Daisy Johnson discovers that HYDRA are unloading trucks of Inhumans at the HYDRA Castle and Coulson's Team then come together on the plane to discuss new plans on how to attack the castle. They decide to split into two infiltration teams: one to save Fitz or Simmons and the other to secure the portal.
 * At the castle, Jemma Simmons helps HYDRA to plan the portal's reopening, making it clear that she is only doing it to make sure Fitz gets back safely. Gideon Malick reminds her that the only thing returning will be "Death."
 * Agent Johnson discovers aqueducts used to power the portal chamber in the past and finds an overflow drain in the woods they can use to enter the compound and the team finalize plans. Mackenzie will go with Hunter and Morse to get Coulson while Melinda May and Johnson take Lincoln Campbell and Joey Gutierrez to get their friend back.
 * Over 8 hours into the time on Maveth, Fitz discovers the hatch entrance to Will Daniels' hideaway, and drops down into the cavern despite Ward's protests, finding Daniels asleep there.
 * Coulson wakes from a dream of Rosalind Price, refusing to succumb to the comfort and ease of the dream, but driven to continue in seeking vengeance for her against Ward. He gets up and follows the HYDRA group's trail to hunt him down.
 * In the hideaway, Grant Ward threatens to kill Daniels, but Fitz convinces him to let him live and come with them so that he can get them to the exit point on time, due to his knowledge of Maveth.
 * Leo Fitz and Will Daniels walk together, discussing HYDRA and Simmons, and Daniels tells Fitz to follow his lead on escaping their captors.
 * Ward asks Daniels questions about previous life on Maveth and who could have built the statue, but Daniels claims he has only ever seen "Death." He reveals to Fitz that he has led the group to the No Fly Zone, as a sandstorm brews.
 * Fitz distracts HYDRA soldiers as Daniels sneaks up on them and kills them so that they can escape the group.
 * Attack on the HYDRA Castle: Late into the night in Gloucestershire (early night Eastern American time), Gutierrez uses his melting powers to help the team enter the drainage tunnels. May, Johnson, Campbell and Gutierrez then prepare to attack the HYDRA Castle, and Campbell goes ahead, using his electricity powers to take out the lighting so the team can slip in. Meanwhile, a little over 10 hours since Fitz went through the portal, Simmons, having escaped and running around in the compound, discovers the Inhuman storage units and finds Andrew Garner's pod. He convinces her to let him out so that he can transform into Lash and kill the HYDRA agents coming to find her. Mackenzie, Hunter and Morse prepare to infiltrate the castle after coming up through the drain and Morse goes ahead to take out the agents in their way.
 * Elsewhere, Daisy Johnson uses her seismic powers to infiltrate further into the castle when Giyera suddenly ambushes her with gunfire. Joey Gutierrez jumps in front to guard her and discovers that his powers can melt the bullets, thus rendering him virtually bulletproof. A HYDRA soldier then goes to investigate the gunfire and finds Jemma Simmons, but Melinda May attacks him from behind to save her. Coulson's Team reunite and break into the portal room with just over 47 minutes to go, but realize that May has gone back to find Lash. May finds the bodies of not only HYDRA soldiers, but also the Inhumans HYDRA had in captivity. While the team discuss what to do about the danger of the Monolith, May returns and informs them of Lash's massacre. Simmons feels guilty for the deaths. Meanwhile, Malick orders his men to regain control of the portal chamber before it reopens in the next 15 minutes. Mackenzie orders the team to leave the chamber so that if something goes wrong, they will survive and the team can continue. Johnson remains with him to help hold the portal open and stand by him as his partner. As morning now draws near in Gloucestershire (night in the United States of America), May leads the rest of Coulson's team on the Zephyr One to prepare to collect any of their team who make it out, and Mackenzie and Johnson ready themselves for the portal to open. The timer finishes and portal opens, badly affecting Johnson like the last time, but she continues despite the pain and the two prepare to shoot anyone who comes through other than their friends.
 * The Zephyr One hovers above, ready to bomb the HYDRA Castle as soon as the portal closes. Johnson collapses from the damage the portal has done to her, and tells Mackenzie they are out of time, and he orders May from the Zephyr to bomb the castle. She reluctantly shoots, and the castle is destroyed.
 * Battle on Maveth: While the team are infiltrating the HYDRA Castle, with less than an hour to reach the exit point, Leo Fitz and Will Daniels run ahead, and Grant Ward discovers the dead bodies of the soldiers. Suddenly gunfire is opened on his soldiers and Phil Coulson reveals himself as the shooter. He shoots Ward badly enough to injure him and make him vulnerable to It, who can smell blood, then orders him at gunpoint to lead the way to Fitz and the exit point. As they walk, Ward tells Coulson about his new belief in Malick and HYDRA's plan, to which Coulson simply responds with cynicism and shoots him once again, but Ward tells him that he will understand soon enough. Coulson and Ward spot Daniels and Fitz and hurry to reach them in time to return. As they walk, Fitz finds the remains of an ancient civilization on Maveth.
 * Daniels tells him of how there were originally 9 cities on the planet, but the advanced beings warred among themselves and destroyed their entire race because they feared change when It came to them. As Fitz bandages his leg, he discovers his bone completely exposed and realizes that it is not Will Daniels that he has been speaking to, but It, who has taken over the dead body of Daniels after killing him while he saved Simmons. A fight ensues between the two as Coulson approaches and when Coulson sees the fight, he shoots It to help Fitz escape, but Ward uses the momentary distraction to attack Coulson.
 * Fitz shoots It repeatedly again and brings him down before he can reach the portal. As Coulson and Ward fight, Coulson manages to beat him to the ground due to his hands being tied and his gunshot injuries. Fitz grabs a flare gun and shoots It, burning Will's body. Fitz tells Coulson to escape with him and leave It and Ward behind, but Coulson takes a moment first, remembering Price and his mission. He kneels down and uses his bionic hand to crush Ward's chest, killing him and finally enacting his revenge. Coulson drops the hand, leaving it behind to signify leaving his rage and actions on the planet, and deciding never to act like that again.
 * As the Zephyr bombs the castle, Coulson and Fitz make it through the portal and onto a Containment Module with Mackenzie and Johnson, and the module flies up to the Zephyr, allowing them to escape. The team reunites with a mixture of emotions: mostly of triumph and relief, while Johnson and Campbell share a kiss, but also a sense of guilt in Coulson for murdering Ward and in Simmons for releasing Lash. Simmons also soon realizes that Daniels has died and not returned, and breaks down crying, and Fitz embraces her for support.
 * Driving to the airport, Gideon Malick's car is stopped in the road by the reanimated corpse of Grant Ward holding Coulson's hand. He realizes that It has returned, inhabiting Ward's body.

He also says he will name a new head of the ATCU shortly.
 * Investigating the crime scene, Alphonso Mackenzie spots Elena Rodriguez in the scene by noticing that the tips of her shoes had been scratched off during the raid.

In the afternoon in Lagos (late morning Eastern American time) Falcon deploys his Redwing drone to trail a truck, only to realize that the truck is intended as a battering ram to break into the institute. The truck flips and crashes through the entrance and Crossbones' mercenaries follow behind, opening fire on several security guards. As poisonous gas slowly floods the building, Crossbones, wearing a gas mask, steals the bio-weapon he was looking for. The Avengers pursue Crossbones' men, proceeding to take out several of the mercenaries. Scarlet Witch then focuses on venting the gas out into the open air while the others dealt with the remaining mercenaries.

 * Thaddeus Ross speaks to the Avengers, while he shows them footage from New York, Washington, D.C., Sokovia and Lagos. He tells them that the United Nations has decided that the Avengers can no longer be allowed to operate privately. He reveals the Sokovia Accords, believing it to be the best balance between the Avengers' desire to secure world peace and the world governments' concerns over the destructive repercussions of their interference. Ross tells them that they have three days to make up their minds before the signing of the Accords in Vienna in three days. Before leaving the facility, he also informs them that refusing to sign twill be seen as an act of resignation.
 * Meanwhile in Cleveland, Helmut Zemo tricks retired HYDRA General Vasily Karpov into opening the door, then ambushes him and hangs him upside down over a sink, slowly filling it up to torture him into giving him the information he needs about the mission of December 16th, 1991. Zemo also finds the Winter Soldier Book, which contains the words used to trigger the Winter Soldier's conditioning. When Karpov persistently refuses to give him information, Zemo leaves him to drown.
 * The Avengers team is divided over the act; Stark supports government oversight because he feels that they need to be held responsible, as well as feeling guilty over such incidents as creating Ultron, and the death of Charlie Spencer, whereas Rogers worries that the Avengers may be compromised if they come under the control of a third party, his decision influenced by the World Security Council's decision to nuke New York, and his dealings with the infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. by HYDRA. Vision realizes that there must be a causality between the increase in heroes and the increase in disasters, and so supports the Accords, along with Natasha Romanoff and James Rhodes supports the Accords. However, Sam Wilson and Wanda Maximoff disagree. During their debate about the Accords, Rogers receives a message informing him of the death of Peggy Carter.

7th

 * Peggy Carter's funeral takes place in London in the morning (early morning by Eastern American time), and out of respect, Rogers helps to carry in her coffin. During the funeral, to Rogers' surprise Agent 13 delivers a eulogy, in which she reveals that Peggy Carter was her aunt.

 * Bombing of the Vienna International Centre: Arriving at the Vienna International Centre for the signing of the Accords in the afternoon there (morning in America), Romanoff meets T'Challa, son of T'Chaka and prince of Wakanda, who appreciates her signing the Accords. As the meeting is about to begin, a terrorist bomb hidden in a news van by Helmut Zemo goes off, destroying the building and killing King T'Chaka of Wakanda. Zemo then travels to Berlin.
 * Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter (Agent 13) discuss Peggy on the way back from the wake after the funeral. As sexual tension begins to build between the two, Sam Wilson interrupts, showing them the news reporting on the Vienna bombing.
 * When facial scans from security footage seemingly reveal the culprit to be James Barnes, T'Challa vows revenge on Barnes for his father, telling Romanoff that he will kill him. Romanoff then calls Rogers, telling him not to get independently involved, or he will be arrested for ignoring the Accords.
 * Secretly trying to help Rogers and Wilson, Sharon Carter hands them a file she has found from her work on the potential whereabouts of the Winter Soldier in Bucharest. Rogers and Wilson go after Barnes, hoping to bring him in before the government do.
 * Early the following morning in Bucharest (the same evening in America), Barnes is buying fruit from the market when he notices that a stall owner is giving him a searching look. When he goes over to the news stall to find out why, the man runs away. Barnes sees the morning's paper and is shocked to see a report that he has bombed the United Nations in Vienna, knowing that someone has framed him. He realizes that the stall owner will have gone to report him to the authorities.
 * In a hotel in Berlin, Zemo is delivered his breakfast by a hotel worker. He carefully stops her from entering his room, fearing that she will discover the large E.M.P. device he is hiding in the room.
 * Capture of Winter Soldier: With the local authorities closing in on Bucky Barnes that morning (the 8th June, late night of the 7th in America), Captain America locates his hideout apartment in Bucharest, Romania first. Rogers questions Barnes to see if he remembers who he is. Although Barnes tries to keep Rogers out of his problems, telling him he simply read his name in a museum, Rogers realizes he is lying. Falcon informs Rogers that the police are on their way, and Bucky flings a bag out of the apartment window so it lands on a roof across the street, preparing to make his escape. As the police arrive, Rogers and Barnes are forced to fight their way down the stairwell of the building, taking out policemen so that Barnes can make his escape to the roof across the street. Barnes grabs his bag and runs, and just when he thinks he has made it out, he is attacked by a mysterious man in a black panther-like suit. The two fight on the roof, and police shoot at the "Black Panther" from helicopters, only to see their bullets ricochet off of the suit, as it is made of a vibranium weave. Falcon flies in to take out the helicopter shooting at Barnes and Black Panther, and the two give chase. Meanwhile, the United Nations uses the Accords to their advantage so as to call in War Machine. The chase makes its way to the streets, and down into an underground tunnel where Steve tries to catch up with Black Panther as he pursues Barnes. Barnes steals a motorcycle so as to try to get away from Panther, who is moving incredibly fast on foot.
 * Rogers takes a police car to chase the two down, but cannot catch them. The chase ends as Black Panther claws at Barnes' motorcycle wheel, and as he goes to kill Barnes, Rogers crashes the car and jumps out to tackle Black Panther. The trio find themselves surrounded, and War Machine arrives to arrest the three of them. The mysterious Black Panther unmasks himself, revealing himself to be T'Challa, going after Barnes to kill him for killing his father. They are then flown to Berlin in custody.

8th

 * In the morning in New York, Vision cooks paprikash to try to lift Wanda Maximoff's spirits. As she tries it, he attempts to reassure her that people do not dislike her, but are simply naturally afraid of her powers. When Maximoff tries to leave, however, Vision moves to block her. He reveals that Tony Stark has told him to stop Maximoff from leaving, for fear that if she is let out of the facility, she may cause another catastrophe. He simply believes that he is doing this for everyone's safety.
 * After many hours of traveling, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes and T'Challa arrive at the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre in the afternoon in Berlin (late morning Eastern American time).
 * At the center, Barnes is taken to be seen by interrogator Theo Broussard, and Stark, who was waiting at the center, sits down to speak with Rogers. During the conversation, Stark explains about what went wrong with his relationship with Pepper Potts, and Rogers sympathizes. Stark explains that he wants Rogers to sign, so as to make the last 24 hours since Rogers went against the Accords to go after Barnes legitimate and shifted to be under government control so that no repercussions would come about. Although Stark tries to be kind to Rogers, when he reveals that he is keeping Maximoff at the New Avengers Facility, the conversation gets heated for a brief amount of time, and Stark leaves. Zemo's E.M.P. goes off and he triggers Bucky's conditioning.
 * Escape from the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre: Barnes' interrogation begins, but instead of being seen by Broussard, Helmut Zemo has got into the center pretending to be Broussard. His plan unfolds simultaneously at the nearby power plant that generates the electricity for the center. He delivers the E.M.P. he has built to the plant, where it is set off, cutting off the electricity supply in the center and leaving him able to speak to Barnes in private. Zemo brings out the Winter Soldier Book, and Barnes is powerless to stop him as he reads the key words to trigger his Winter Soldier conditioning again.
 * Barnes rips himself out of his bindings and breaks out of his cage, going on a rampage throughout the center. When Barnes and Rogers arrive, they find Zemo, pretending to cower on the floor, and Barnes gone. Rogers does not fall for Zemo's trick and threatens him, but is then suddenly attacked by the Winter Soldier, and him and Wilson have to fight him, before he throws Rogers down an elevator shaft. As Rogers attempts to climb back up, Stark leads the fight against Barnes, using all the equipment he has; a portable Iron Man glove that comes from a wrist accessory, shooting a sonic wave and flash of light so as to slow down the Winter Soldier. He then gets into close combat with Barnes, who even tries to shoot Stark, only blocked by the bulletproof glove. When Barnes defeats Stark, Sharon Carter runs in to fight him next, but again, she is bested by the Winter Soldier. Natasha Romanoff then attacks him from behind, wrapping her legs around his neck, but Barnes, in his ruthless and uncontrollable state, throws her onto a table and attempts to strangle her, despite her asking him to try to recognize her.
 * T'Challa then arrives, using vibranium-tipped shoes and his impressive agility to try to stop the Winter Soldier. Although he slows him down, Barnes still breaks away from him and out to the helipad on top of the building. Rogers arrives to catch him taking off in the helicopter, and grabs hold of the landing gear to stop him from leaving. The Winter Soldier crashes the helicopter into the helipad instead in an attempt to kill Rogers, but fails, and the two fall into the water below, where Barnes is knocked unconscious, and Rogers brings him to the surface.
 * Steve Rogers traps Bucky Barnes' metal arm in a vice in a local abandoned garage so as to stop him from escaping if he is still conditioned when he wakes. When he does wake, Barnes proves to Rogers that he is free of the conditioning by recounting to him small details about their childhood that he could not have simply read in a museum. He then reveals to them that he was not the only Winter Soldier, as in 1991 he had retrieved a super soldier serum which was used on five other people to turn them into more ruthless Winter Soldiers. However, they had got out of HYDRA's control and had been put back into cryogenic freeze. Barnes explains that he thinks Zemo will be looking to reactivate them. Rogers frees Barnes, and discusses with Wilson what they should do next, and how it would have been a lot easier a week ago. While Rogers thinks they are out of luck, Wilson tells Rogers that he might know someone who can help.
 * Now late afternoon approaching evening (around midday Eastern American time), Stark pleads with Ross to allow him time to take Rogers in himself before the government goes after him, and Ross allows him 36 hours. Stark and Romanoff then discuss what they are going to do next, and Stark tells her that he has a plan. He flies his Quinjet to Queens as fast as possible, hoping to get the help of the relatively new spider-like vigilante in New York, of whom stories and supposed footage have been passed around frequently, and who Stark is sure is secretly teenager Peter Parker.
 * Peter Parker gets home from school late because he was searching the nearby dump and had found a D.V.D. player. However, when he gets home, he is shocked to find Tony Stark in his apartment, already talking to his aunt May Parker. Stark tells him that he has won the grant he applied for, subtly letting him know that he should go along with what Stark says, despite not knowing what he is talking about. Stark then goes to Parker's room to discuss things further with him.
 * Once they enter Parker's room, Stark explains to him that he has recognized that Parker is the New York vigilante, confronting him with footage. Though at first denying it, when Stark finds Parker's hidden costume, Parker gives in and explains to him about his powers, telling him he likes to be known as the "Spider-Man." Parker tells him that he struggles to continue to be the same person around people he knows, whilst also living the double life of being the vigilante, without anyone knowing. He tells Stark that he feels that if people like him have the abilities to stop bad things from happening in the world, if they do not then use those abilities to stop the bad things from happening, they are responsible. Although at first reluctant to come to Germany because it would mean dropping out of school for a few days and not being able to do his homework, Parker eventually gives in, and Stark agrees to make him a completely new costume.
 * Rescue of Wanda Maximoff: In the early evening in New York, an explosion outside the New Avengers Facility causes Vision to briefly leave the compound. Scarlet Witch then senses that someone has broken into the facility, and uses her powers to move a knife to their head, before realizing that it is Hawkeye, who has shown up to rescue Maximoff from Vision's watch. Hawkeye shoots electrified arrows around the room to set a trap, and when Vision returns, he is subdued by the arrows electrifying and holding him back. Maximoff is a little reluctant to leave, giving Vision time to destroy the electrified trap and fight Barton. Because of his far superior abilities, Vision easily evades all of Barton's attacks and grabs hold of him. However, Barton then convinces Scarlet Witch to use her own powers, matched with Vision's, to restrain the synthetic being and throw him down through many floors and deep underground, allowing them plenty of time to escape. Barton then informs her that they have one more stop to make first.
 * Hawkeye then picks up Scott Lang, as Rogers and Wilson wanted, and him, Lang and Maximoff fly to Germany to meet with Rogers, Wilson and Barnes.

Barton then arrives with Maximoff and Lang, and when he wakes up Lang, he is very awestruck to meet his hero, Captain America. Him and Wilson share a joke about the last time they met, and Lang agrees to help them. They then hear that Stark and his team have arrived and shut down the airport, and Rogers tells his team to "suit up".
 * Clash of the Avengers: Around 24 hours after Thaddeus Ross gave Stark his 36 hour deadline, Iron Man and his team confront Captain America and some of his team at the airport, bringing in Spider-Man in his new suit to bind Captain America's hands with his webbing and steal his shield. When Rogers refuses to listen to Stark and back down, Ant-Man steals Captain America's Shield back for him, and Hawkeye shoots an arrow to break the webbing binding between Captain America's hands, and a battle breaks out between Iron Man and Captain America's two teams. Iron Man goes to apprehend Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch, but the two work together to bring cars crashing down on Stark and keep him trapped temporarily.
 * Meanwhile, Spider-Man swings in to take out Winter Soldier and Falcon, using his super strength to block Barnes' punches, and his webbing to stop Falcon's wings from working. As he fights the two, he continuously spouts witty lines and jokes, something which Falcon picks up on. When it seems like Spider-Man has the two defeated, Falcon uses Redwing to grab Spider-Man and throw him out of the airport window. As everyone escapes the various predicaments they have got themselves into, the twelve heroes all end up coming together in the airplane parking area outside the airport.
 * The six heroes on each side begin to run at each other, and all the heroes pair off, clashing with each other, each in an attempt to subdue and take down the other, but with no one having the desire to kill anyone else. In the process, Black Panther gets in a hand-to-hand fight with Barnes, who tells him that he did not kill his father, but T'Challa does not believe him. A massive battle unfolds, resulting in the destruction of much of the airport. Rogers and Barnes, however, know they need a way to get to Siberia so as to stop Zemo from reactivating the five Winter Soldiers. They notice Stark's Quinjet parked in a section of the airport, and realize that they are going to need a distraction so as to escape in the jet. Ant-Man volunteers a distraction he has attempted in a laboratory before, using his suit to make himself grow to be giant instead of shrinking.
 * Taking Iron Man's team by surprise, the team work on taking down Ant-Man's new "Giant-Man" form and all but momentarily forget about Captain America and the Winter Soldier. After Giant-Man grabs War Machine, Spider-Man wraps his webbing around Giant-Man's legs to make him fall over. Meanwhile, Vision notices Captain America and the Winter Soldier running for the Quinjet, and causes a tower to fall on them to stop them reaching it. Scarlet Witch manages to use her telekinesis to hold up the tower long enough to allow them to reach the jet's hangar. However, they find that Black Widow is waiting for them inside the hangar, and worry that she is about to try to stop them. Instead though, turning against Iron Man's team as she uses her Black Widow's Bite to subdue Black Panther, who had quietly made it into the hangar after the two as well. She allows Rogers and Barnes to escape in the Quinjet, simply telling T'Challa that she said she would help find Rogers, not catch him. As the Quinjet flies away, War Machine and Iron Man fly in pursuit, and Falcon flies after them to help his friends escape. Iron Man gets Vision to try to shoot Falcon's wings to stop him from catching them, but Vision is momentarily distracted by trying to comfort Scarlet Witch and misses the shot he fires from the Mind Stone in his forehead, catching War Machine's arc reactor instead of Falcon's wings, and causing Rhodes to fall uncontrollably from the sky.
 * He crashes to the ground before Iron Man or Falcon can catch him. He survives the fall, but is severely injured, and the Quinjet flies away. Iron Man takes out Falcon in rage, and the authorities soon arrive to arrest Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch and Falcon. Parker soon returns home.
 * The following morning of the 10th in Germany (late night of the 9th in the USA), Helmut Zemo calls room service at the hotel he was staying in from a phone in a town in Siberia, asking for breakfast to be brought to him as usual, but instead the woman finds his room empty and discovers a dead body in the bathtub: the body of Theo Broussard. She reports the find to local authorities, and it soon reaches the news.
 * Rhodes has another MRI scan in hospital while Stark watches on anxiously, and talks to Vision about his blunder. Stark has also had his arm put in a sling. He then has a conversation with Natasha Romanoff about her disloyalty in the battle the day before (by German time). He also informs her that Rhodes may have some sort of paralysis, and that the authorities will be after her, but Romanoff instead warns him to watch his own back. Stark is then alerted to he news of the discovery of Broussard's body, finding out from F.R.I.D.A.Y. that discovered along with the body were facial mask disguises of the Winter Soldier, and that Broussard is the man who was meant to interrogate Barnes. Stark realizes that Zemo, the man who had hired the room, has framed Barnes for the Vienna incident and that he was wrong. Stark flies in his helicopter to the Raft prison to speak with Sam Wilson.

As the video continues, it becomes clear that the assassin who murdered Stark's parents was the Winter Soldier.
 * Stark dos all he can to withhold his surge of fury, asking Rogers if he knew, to which he admits that despite not specifically and clearly knowing it was Barnes, he did indeed already know the circumstances of their deaths (from Arnim Zola's computer consciousness) and a part of him knew that Barnes was likely behind it. Stark, enraged, hits Rogers across the room and turns on the Winter Soldier, forcing Steve to fight him to save his friend's life. A chase ensues through the compound as Barnes tries to escape from Iron Man and Captain America attacks him to prevent him reaching his lifelong friend, and the three end up falling into a part of the facility with open views onto the snow.

 * In the ensuing battle, the Winter Soldier loses his metal arm, and Iron Man blasts Captain America in the stomach. Meanwhile, Zemo waits outside, listening to his wife's voicemail message for a final time before deleting it, now that he has achieved closure. T'Challa unmasks and walks up to him, and asks him why he has done what he has done, to which Zemo explains that he understands that he could not kill the Avengers himself, but realized that if he could make them kill each other, he could bring them down to human level and break them apart in front of the world.
 * Him and T'Challa discuss the nature of vengeance, and after days of going after Barnes before realizing that he was the wrong man all along, T'Challa resolves that he will no longer let his desire for revenge consume him like it did to Zemo, and prevents Zemo from committing suicide, believing the living are not done with him yet, and content with sending him to prison.

Rogers helps up Barnes and begins to depart, but as he leaves, Tony bitterly reminds him that his father was the one who gave him the shield he's holding, and that he does not deserve it.
