The other Steve Rogers rises from the
river he plunged into last issue....
By means of Raz Malhotra's time
capsule, the heroes are able to send a message ahead to transmit a
message back in time to reach its intended recipients. And so the
heroes marooned on the Alpha Flight Station by the Planetary Defense
Shield and those trapped in New York City by the Darkforce Dome can
hear Captain America (Sam Wilson, the good one) tell them they are
not forgotten and that with the fragments of the Cosmic Cube they can
still make a difference....
Sam Cap takes the Cube fragment and
flies high into the sky, planning to use the device to obliterate
both the Shield and the Dome. On the space station, Star-Lord, Rocket
Raccoon, and Groot have an idea to drop a Nullifier bomb on the
Shield, while in New York, Dr Strange has found a spell to shut off
the Dome....
But then Sam Cap is shot down by Hydra
jets, Strange's spell fails, and the bomb does not damage the
Shield....
But Quasar (Avril Kincaid) has
recovered from her injuries and cracks open the Shield with her
powers, Cap rises from the ocean, and the Underground breaks into the
prison where Bob Hoffstetter a/k/a Blackout is being held. Maria Hill
confronts the brainwashed villain who does not know he is creating
the Darkforce Dome with his mind—and she executes him with a bullet
to the head. The Shield gone, Captain Marvel flies to Earth to remove
the eggs the Chitauri are seeking, shutting down their attack on
Earth.....
The three teams of heroes assemble and
are met by the Sub-Mariner who introduces Bucky Barnes to them...and
he has a plan....
Epilogue: The other Steve Rogers comes
upon a glowing woman in the woods and recognizes her a “Sharon”
but she fades away from him...leaving him with the little girl/Cosmic
Cube known as Kobik....
