Falcon looking out over Lagos
Planning to steal a biological weapon from the Institute for Infectious Diseases, Crossbones and his mercenaries traveled to Lagos, however, he was spotted by the Avengers. Captain America, Falcon, Black Widow and Wanda Maximoff arrived a Lagos and went positioned themselves, observing the scene. After noticing an incoming garbage truck was quickly approaching the IFID, Wilson deployed the Redwing only to realize the truck was a battering ram.
Brock Rumlow's men storm the IFID
By then, however, the truck had driven through the entrance and Rumlow's mercenaries had opened fire on security guards. As poisonous gas slowly flooded the building, Rumlow quietly made his way to the third floor and found the bioweapon he was looking for. The Avengers then converged on the building and proceeded to take out several of the mercenaries. Falcon used the Redwing to find and confirm Rumlow's location before informing Rogers.
Captain America chases down Crossbones
Using her powers to lift Rogers onto the third floor, Maximoff then focused on venting the gas out into the open air while the others proceeded to deal with the remaining mercenaries. Rogers searched for Rumlow only to learn that he had already left. Romanoff managed to intercept Rumlow and tried to electrocute him only to learn he can no longer feel pain. He then threw a grenade at her, but she used a dead mercenary's body to shield herself from the blast. Rumlow escaped, but not before entrusting the bioweapon to one of his men.
Falcon battles Crossbones' mercenaries
Wilson, Maximoff, and Romanoff set out to retrieve the bioweapon, and Romanoff managed to locate it and confronted the mercenaries tasked with maintaining it. When they threatened to kill everyone in the surrounding area unless she surrendered, she reluctantly complied. The Redwing suddenly appeared and subdued them while Black Widow secured the bioweapon.
Wanda Maximoff in the wake of the chaos
Meanwhile, Rogers managed to subdue Rumlow and began pressing him for information as to the identity of the person who ordered him to obtain the bioweapon. Rumlow claimed Bucky Barnes was pulling the string before activating a suicide bomb attached to his vest, intent on taking Rogers with him. Maximoff managed to contain the explosion around Rumlow and tried to move the blast away from innocent bystanders. However, she moved it too close to a nearby building and inadvertently destroyed it, killing numerous civilians and 11 relief aid workers from Wakanda.[1]
