The scariest close call Barnes has ever had was the time he was framed for the bombing of a building where the UN was assembling in Vienna. The bomb injured dozens and killed a handful, most notably the king of Wakanda. Unfortunately for Barnes, he was already a wanted man and it seemed he had been ID'd near the scene so tactical teams were going to come at him hard. Luckily, his old army pal Steve got to him just before the squad did, warned him of the incoming assault and together they fought their way out of the apartment building Barnes had been staying in. Eventually, they had made their way out the window onto the roof of a nearby building and were looking like they were going to make a temporary escape when a man dressed in all black panther armor confronted them and started a bigger, faster chase through the Austrian streets before being road blocked and captured by what seemed like every law enforcement officer in the country. The close call here being that Barnes didn't get absolutely murdered in what was a "dead or alive" situation and instead was only locked up.
