The end of Captain America: Civil War gives the now nomadic Steve Rogers - minus his shield and with a new rogue attitude - one of his most badass moments in the MCU when he breaks into the government's secret Raft prison to get his fellow Team Cap Avengers out.

But how did he manage it?

The Raft isn't just a normal prison. It's an ultra-high security unit designed to house enhanced individuals who break the law - supervillains, in other words - like Jessica Jones' mother. It is designed to be an unbreakable lock thrown into the middle of the sea. To break in might not be that much of a stretch for the world's most gifted super-soldier, but just getting there would be pretty much impossible without some sort of support.

That doesn't mean it's impossible, of course, but it's the kind of story that really needs to be told because of all of the necessary moving parts. And no, you can't just say "it's because he's Captain America!"
