Story continued from CAPTAIN AMERICA #440.
Boca Caliente: a boy and a dog fleeing
from A.I.M. guard and come upon a suit of blue armor and nearby they
find Captain America. Cap, no longer paralyzed, spies the boy and the
dog—and also his long-dead (or so everyone thought) companion Bucky
Barnes....
Elsewhere on the island, the Avengers
have arrived and they make short work of the guards, discovering they
are all Adaptoids. As Black Widow starts to set out to find Cap,
Hercules, speaking for the team, wants to know what this is all
about. Natasha explains that the energy spikes indicate that A.I.M.
is trying to recreate their deadliest weapon, the Cosmic Cube.
Moments later they come upon a Gypsy camp where Quicksilver is
greeted by his long-dead father. To everyone's alarm Hercules flies
into a rage, Natasha realizing he is afraid he will summon up his
lost love Taylor....
The Red Skull enters the A.I.M. complex
to confront their leader Brannex....
Free Spirit and Jack Flag allow
themselves to be defeated by the Adaptoid guards, as a ruse to get
into the complex....
Cap and Bucky search for the missing
Falcon and find him, lying at the bottom of a cliff. An explosion
knocks them off their feet as the resurrected MODOK rises into
view....
