Having resigned as Captain America,
Sam Wilson lives in Montana and finds himself again playing the hero,
smuggling undesirables out of the Hydra-controlled USA. Then a small
group of Avengers (Ant-Man, Iron Man AI, Mockingbird, Hercules,
Quicksilver) have persuaded him to get them out of the country for a
mission against Hydra. Turns out the main exit is on a New York
subway train, magically transported by the actions of the Night
People of Zerotown as stabilized by Dr. Strange. The train runs into
a monster on the tracks and when Hercules spies more giant creatures
in the underground he leaps joyously into battle, joined by the
others and Sam can't stop them. They are confronted by the Mole Man,
whose nation they have entered on their journey, the toll for safe
passage being jewelry, sports memorabilia, and Blu-Ray collections of
recent TV series. Hydra's Dreadnaughts, which have been secretly
pursuing the party, arrive and a nightmarish battle takes place
between the Avengers and their near-invincible foes. Iron Man causes
a cave collapse to bury the Dreadnaughts but Mole Man now refuses to
allow Sam to continue using his caves for smuggling refugees....
Outside
in Canada, they are met by Misty Knight with an airplane and they set
off on the second leg of their journey, Sam being bitter at the end
of his safety route. Ant-Man now reveals that, though he told Sam
they were on their way to Brazil, they have to make a stop in Alaska,
a territory held by Hank Pym—or is it Ultron?
