In response to a cryptic message,
Captain America arrives at a convalescent hospital in search of the female
SHIELD agent whose life may be in danger. He suspects a trap and he is right:
Hydra agents are waiting in the wings as a floor opens and drops him into a basement. There he is attacked by
Batroc the Leaper, seeking revenge for his earlier defeat. As they battle, the Hydra killers tell the captive SHIELD agent that there is no way she or Captain America will survive. The contest between the two antagonist moves back and forth until the impatient Hydra agents open fire. An enraged Batroc leaps at the killers and Cap hurls his shield to protect his former foe. The two team up to rescue the SHIELD agent and Batroc, having paid his debt to Cap, escapes through a window.
