Synopsis

The Iron Nail: Part 2 Maria Hill leads a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, which has been infiltrated by Dr. Mindbubble. At the same time, Captain America and Falcon watches the fight from afar. Shortly, the fight comes to them as brainwashed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents attack them. Falcon takes flight while Captain America quickly snags a motorcycle. During the battle, Captain America silently thinks about his frustration at another problem created by an out-of-control S.H.I.E.L.D. weapon. He asks to himself how many good people will die because of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s lies and if S.H.I.E.L.D. will ever learn from its mistakes. Dr. Mindbubble turns Maria's own allies against her, forcing Maria to incapacitate them, including Fury. Before she can initiate Gungnir's self-destruct sequence, she is knocked out from behind by the Iron Nail. As Captain America and Falcon make their way to Gungnir's launch site, Jet feeds them information about Dr. Mindbubble. He has the power to emit reality-altering bubbles that cause their victims to live fantasies. The only way to escape them is to commit suicide before the fantasy kills the victim. Captain America reaches Gungnir just as S.H.I.E.L.D. begins its attack on the massive helicarrier.
