Selene visits Baron Strucker, who
turned against the most recent version of Hydra and was rewarded by
being given charge of The Myrmidon, a prisoner for super-people.
Selene is there to gain assurance that this prison would hold Steve
Rogers....
Steve Rogers, accused of the murder of
General Thunderbolt Ross, and Sharon Carter are consulting with his
lawyer Bernie Rosenthal; she points out that Steve's alibi is Sharon,
which isn't strong enough—and that Ross was killed by an object
that closely resembles a shield. Her advice? Turn himself in to the
authorities....
Meanwhile, Winter Soldier has invaded
the Bar with No Name and is beating up the denizens to find out who
really killed Ross. All of his thrashing yields nothing: none of
these lowlifes knows anything. One of them, the Owl, accuses Bucky of
taking out on them the bitterness of his discovery that his hero Cap
is no better than the villains....
When Bucky fails to come up with
anything, Steve decides that to take back the dream and take back his
country, he must submit to it. [Alexa Lukin learns he has surrendered
to the authorities and calls Selene with the news.] But Steve does
not have the shield and refuses to tell Nick Fury Jr. where it is....
Sharon has the shield and she heads
into a mysterious underground facility where she summons the
Daughters of Liberty—an all-female team consisting of
Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), Invisible Woman, Mockingbird,
Misty Knight, Echo, White Tiger, and Annabelle Riggs/Valkyrie....
