Captain America (Steve Rogers), pondering the Outer Circle, goes to his pal
Winter Soldier who is struggling with guilt over his role as a Starpoint, an assassin
for the Outer Circle. Steve assures Bucky he’s not alone. They come up with a
plan….
Steve
walks Amari to school, telling him that violence isn’t a tool but a cycle. And
his future is what he wants to make it….
In
art class, the students are drawing Cap’s shield and its symbolism comes up;
Steve is asked what the shield means to him….
Steve
goes to the Overruled Pub, a hangout for those who feel they’ve been stepped on
by the System and talks to old socialist Arlo Wright who talks about the little
guy standing up to the System. He knows Cap will do the right thing….
That
night, Steve goes out to the dumpster in the alley; he addresses the invisible Starpoint
that has been stalking him. Steve reveals that he has known Starpoint was following
him all day and was waiting to find him alone which Steve takes to mean the
assassin doesn’t want to hurt anyone else. After some acrobatic dueling, Steve
also reveals that what he has said that day was intended to be heard by Starpoint.
He was covertly telling Starpoint that he doesn’t have to be a pawn of the
Outer Circle, that he can control his own future. After some thought, Starpoint
stops fighting and decides to join Cap….
When
Starpoint goes offline, the Outer Circle member called the Revolution convenes
a meeting of the council for a final move….
