Ghosts of the Past[]
In modern times, Winter Soldier infiltrated the Avengers Tower and got hold of Red Skull for revenge, who was being imprisoned by the Avengers at the time. He used the Aven-Jet as a distraction to escape in the sewers, where Captain America followed him. Captain America tried to convince Winter Soldier to give Red Skull back, as he had valuable information on Thanos, but Winter Soldier knocked him out and escaped by climbing on a train. Captain America caught up with them, but Winter Soldier escaped in a drone and caused an explosion in the train tracks to slow him down.
Falcon used a tracking device that Black Widow had been put in the Red Skull to pin Winter Soldier's location to a missile silo in New Jersey. After pinning Red Skull to one of the missiles, Winter Soldier found the tracking device and destroyed it. Having realized the Avengers would come for him, Winter Soldier launched all the missiles in the base. Captain America and Falcon tracked down one of the missiles headed to Belarus, the place where Winter Soldier had been created, as the rest of the team dealt with the other missiles. On the missile, Captain America was confronted by Winter Soldier after trying to free Red Skull.
Captain America tried to make Winter Soldier understand that if he let the missiles hit their targets he would only finally become what Red Skull wanted, a villain. With twenty-seven seconds for impact, Winter Soldier escaped the missile. Captain America would manage to disarm it with the help of Falcon.
