Older Bucky Barnes, having crashed his ship
into Crossbones', awakens on a beach on Syro (the planet he
“liberated” at the start of issue #1) to learn that his enemy is
dead—and that the Sacred Reznor had stowed away on his ship and is
now returned to his home planet. Bucky's victory is celebrated with a
parade and party and he is taken to be with Ventolin, who has helped
rebuild this world which had been destroyed.
Meanwhile, young Bucky returns to
Ventolin to learn she has punched out Loki and locked him in prison.
Daisy Johnson arrives with Ptero and she and Demdike Stare plan to go
adventuring around the universe. Bucky and Ventolin stand before the
polarity Paradox Engine and gaze into each other's eyes while knowing
that “the lost glove is happy.”
