Synopsis for ""Before My Eyes, Nick Fury Died!""

Quote1 Someone's gotta invade AIM--single-handed--and save that gal! Know where I can git me a volunteer--Cap? Quote2
Nick Fury

After returning from a mission with S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain America (in his civilian guise of Steve Rogers) reports back with the Avengers back at Avengers Mansion. While this is happening deep in the ocean aboard a secret AIM submarine, Agent-13 is attempting to prove to the members of AIM that she is loyal to them and that their target will be at a designated barbershop for them to assassinate.

Meanwhile, Steve Rogers is on his way back to Avengers Mansion on foot, lost in his thoughts when he notices an AIM android springing to life and attacking Nick Fury at a nearby barber shop. Fearing the worst, Steve changes into Captain America and stops the android from killing Nick. Defeating it, the creature dissolves leaving no trace behind.

Afterward, Fury scolds Cap for getting involved because the attack on Fury was all part of a S.H.I.E.L.D. ruse to get a hold of one of AIM's robots. Now fearing that Agent-13's cover has been blown, Fury tells Cap that somebody is going to have to free her from AIM's clutches... This story is continued next issue.
