Steve Rogers goes to dinner at Connie
Ferrari's apartment, accompanied by young Javier Ramirez, who
absconds at the earliest opportunity. Steve asks about a young
serviceman whose picture can be found around the apartment. Connie
explains that it is her brother David, a sensitive boy forced into a
military career by their domineering father and who died during a
hazing. Steve shares (briefly) his troubles with Sharon and Connie
suggests he go looking for her. Steve departs but looks back at her
from the street and she knows he will come back to her....
Meanwhile, Sharon Carter is in Turkey,
drinking away her troubles. An American hits on her, offering to help
her forget her troubles—but then Sharon learns his name is Steve,
and she punches his lights out....
At SHIELD headquarters, Captain America
is talking to Dum Dum Dugan about his Sharon troubles when they are
interrupted by an explosion. A training exercise for the mandroid
armor has gone wrong and the armored suits are exploding. Cap rescues
whoever he can but then learns that the power core is about to
detonate as well—and there is one agent trapped inside. Cap dons a
protective suit and heads to the rescue. His new energy shield will
not respond the way the original one would, so he tosses it to Agent
Murphy to protect himself while Cap leaps through the air and pulls
the failsafe switch which shuts down the reactor. While they are
trying to figure out what happened, Cap gets a call from Tony (Iron Man) Stark,
telling him that he knows what is going on and that the entire
country is sitting on a giant bomb....
