On a rainy night in Manhattan, a depressed shield-singer stops by Avengers Mansion to visit his teammates.

To find Sam Wilson, the Living Legend journeys to SHIELD's underground complex in Midtown. However once inside he learns that the secret headquarters is abandoned -- and scheduled for demolition in 15 minutes! Cap rushes toward the exit, but he's ambushed by the Constrictor! The serpentine super-villain has been hired by the Corporation to kill Captain America. And he doesn't care if the SHIELD complex is about to implode! What a deadly dilemma for the red, white, and blue avenger!
