The Hex Ship's engines flamed out at two hundred feet, slicing the airspeed down to seventy knots...
Wanda, Spider-Woman, Moonraker & Fisher crash in the "disappeared" Viet Nam, and are attacked by Apocryphus and his soldiers. As they fight, Moonraker's memory returns and he tells Julia that his real name is Gustav Brandt [Libra]. Black Widow joins the fugitives U.S.Agent, Jim Rhodes [War Machine] and Hawkeye to decide their next step, whilst unbeknownst to them, Iron Man has tracked them down and issues orders to deploy a maximum sanction strike team against them. Back at the Works HQ, Amanda realizes that something strange is happening, and investigates the mysterious basement area.
