Synopsis for 1st story
Tania's date in 2099 is interrupted when she is called upon to assist Alchemax's Avengers in recovering gems that were stolen by the Chain Gang. Captain America offers the crooks a chance to surrender, but a drunken Hercules chooses to attack rather than wait for their response. A blast sends him careening into a flying car, startling the woman within. The Chain Gang begin to flee, Iron Man and Captain America, the latter carried by the winged Hawkeye, give pursuit.
During the chase, Hawkeye is struck by a laser and accidentally drops Captain America, but she is able to halt her descent with wings of her own. The fallen Hawkeye is about to be executed when Black Widow arrives and saves him. Captain America has to convince her to not kill the criminal, merely to apprehend him; meanwhile, the inebriated Hercules is putting unwanted advances upon the driver of the car he damaged. Captain America intervenes here as well, telling Hercules his father would not approve. Hercules goes off to be alone and the rest of the Avengers return to Alchemax Building to be report in.
Captain America discusses the mission with Miguel Stone, and explains her deep concerns about Hercules' drinking. Miguel assures her he will handle it and, after tracking him down, discovers the reason for the sudden change in behavior from Hercules is because it is the anniversary of his wife, Megara's, death, a woman whom he himself killed. Elsewhere, Iron Man goes to speak with Vision who warns him that the Defenders, enemies who will present themselves as friends, are coming.
