History
Arresting the Avengers
- "Give me a break, Barton. I had no idea they'd put you here. Come on."

Wanda Maximoff imprisoned in the Raft
As the Clash of the Avengers ended, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye and Ant-Man captured by Iron Man's team and taken to the Raft for working outside the law.

Clint Barton imprisoned in the Raft
Stark was then mocked by Barton, but Stark told Barton that they should not be in there as the Raft was built for maniacs and criminals, which Barton claimed that they are all now. Stark then walked past Lang who said that you can never trust a Stark which Stark came back by not knowing who he is.
Sam Wilson imprisioned in the Raft
Stark continued to make his way to Wilson to ask where Rogers is so he can help him. Wilson asked how James Rhodes was after his crash. Stark told Wilson that he believed Rogers and that he needed his help to tell him where Rogers and Bucky Barnes had gone. Wilson told Stark about the HYDRA facility in Siberia and the Winter Soldiers which Zemo was planning to reactivate.[1]
