An attractive Native American woman walks into a bar and asks
the bartender to charge her phone. When he plugs it in it emits a high-pitched
noise that knock out several men in the bar and then she proceeds to beat up
the rest. She is Echo (Maya Lopez) and when everyone is unconscious, Steve Rogers
and White Tiger enter. They take one of the unconscious men and use his
hand to open a secret door in the bathroom and the heroes find themselves facing
a band of armed Watchdogs. The trio fights their way through the underground
facility and discovers that A.I.M. is behind the Watchdogs, supplying them with
their weapons and cloaking technology. With the cloak destroyed, Sharon Carter
and Toni Ho back at headquarters can see into eh facility and notice that the
life signs of the hostages (taken last issue) are blinking out, one by one; they
take this to mean the hostages are being executed. Steve, Echo, and White Tiger
reach the lowest level and discover that the hostages are actually being pushed
through a portal to another location. There is a furious battle and Sin arrives
to fight the two women, taking down White Tiger easily but when she sees Steve,
she escapes through the portal to be met by her partner Crossbones. The heroes
managed to save some of the hostages from the human trafficking gang….
Sharon reports to Dryad about the mission: when Nick Fury Jr. and
his men arrived at the bar, they found the Watchdogs all trussed up for them
and an image of Cap’s shield painted on the wall. And one more piece of
information: the hostages were sent to Madripoor….
