France: 1943: A wounded and unconscious
Captain America is being guarded by members of the Resistance; when
they run into a Vichy patrol there is a fight, the female leader
using Cap's own shield to protect his life from an enemy gunshot....Historian Jackson Rogers, descendant of
Steve Rogers, is in hiding falsely accused of terrorism because he
uncovered a plan to turn American citizens into sleeper agents for
the Kree Empire. He seeks sanctuary at a secret safehouse run by the
Guild of Historians. He tries sharing his problem with others but he
is dismissed as a madman, like the elderly Old Vic. This aged
historian is ignored because he is believed to be senile, his mind
shattered by his studies. But it turns out he believes Jack,
informing him that Captain America is still alive and using his
timelens to show him Cap and the Red Skull, trapped inside a Cosmic
Cube, dueling for eternity. Old Vic tells Jack that he must find
Cap—and then police burst in, looking for Jack and shooting Old Vic
as he spirits Jack out a secret exit. Jack tunnels through the ruins
of Washington D.C. And finds Cap's cracked shield and a giant opaque
cube. He uses the shield to smash the cube open and free—the Red
Skull....
