[It was meant to be a fairly simple and straightforward assignment. Break in, gather some intel, get out. Old dusty files, ancient computers. Zemo had felt rather in his element, and he'd even been in a rather good mood to start. Walker had stayed back. It was simply James, and they worked well together. They made a rather fantastic team, in his very humble opinion.
Nothing was supposed to go wrong.
Except when it did. Despite every precaution, despite everything he did to maintain their safety...
They ended up tripping some sort of failsafe somehow. Nothing quite like a self-destruct switch being flipped in a building you can't quite get out of quickly enough before it starts to cave in on itself as explosives detonate.]
James!
[He barks the name roughly as they maneuver through corridors, his heart pounding in his chest louder than anything else around them. He's seen buildings fall. He's seen countries fall, and this is not so dissimilar. He would like to say that he's doing well, but--
His stomach twists with fear, with the urgency to at least get Bucky out before they're both buried.]

This way, quickly!
