In the present in Brooklyn, the Falcon and Redwing fly to Steve Rogers apartment. Upon entering, the Falcon is attacked by Jet Black. Steve quickly arrives and asks Jet to stand down. The Falcon notes that Steve has not been around Avengers Tower and that he has heard that Sharon Carter has died in battle. Naturally, Sam is sorry to hear about Sharon and offers his condolences. Captain America and the Falcon go out in costume through the Brooklyn skyline. Steve tells him about his adventure in Dimension Z, his son Ian, and more details about his time there.
