Falcon
and Winter Soldier are visiting the family of the hitman known as The Natural
and they are major fans of Captain America. The doting parents have nothing but
love and support for their boy even when Sam and Bucky suggest he may be
running with a bad crowd (Hydra). They promise to set Junior back on the
straight and narrow so the parents give them the address of the Hydra training
center downtown with two conditions: a) they leave their guns behind and b)
they dress in homemade Falcon and Cap costumes….
Sam
and Bucky, dressed uncomfortably, enter the building and find Junior assembling
a gun blindfolded. He is much faster than they and holds them at bay before
they can reach him. He is a major fan of theirs and thinks Hydra is pretty cool
and will turn into good guys once Baron Zemo is eliminated. He gives them his
model shield and points out that the Hydra trainers are on their way in. Sam
and Bucky beat the living crap out of the Hydra killers while wondering if one
of them could be the missing Sally McKenzie. The Natural returns in his
homemade Cap costume and talks about his obsession with Captain America and how
he admires his code of honor. Questioned about how that fits in with being a
Hydra hitman, he says that Hydra will be getting rid of the real bad guys soon.
They tell him it’s never too late to turn his life around using Winter Soldier
as an example. He is convinced and offers to take them to the Hydra base in
Nevada; they ask him what he did with Bucky’s handler Veronica Eden whom he
kidnapped. He explains he didn’t kidnap her: she’s going to be the new Hydra
Supreme….
