As Master Man gives his thinly veiled hate speech, S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Agent Hunt, who has infiltrated the World Party, goes snooping around and is horrified to find a stockpile of nuclear missiles located below the church. However, before he can radio in his findings, he is captured by some mysterious being whom Hunt is shocked to see alive and well.
At this time Steve Rogers is walking the streets, trying to figure out what all the strange dreams he's been having are about, when he's suddenly confronted by the strange old man he saw earlier, who again addresses him as “Captain”. Steve insists the man must be mistaken and that Steve isn’t a Captain. The man asks Steve to walk him home, where he has something to show Steve. After startling Steve by using his name the man starts walking away.
The man introduces himself as Abraham Wilson, who convinces Steve to follow him to an old warehouse and says that he met Steve during World War II. where he reveals to him the shield of Captain America. Abraham then tells Steve that he's really Captain America, and that Abraham has been spending the better part of his life tracking down Cap's lost shield and then Captain America himself since he went missing after the war.
Just as Abraham hands over Cap's shield to Steve, agents of the World Party blow up the warehouse. Steve pulls himself out of the rubble, remembering that he is in reality Captain America. He orders the armed men to stand down, and when they refuse to do so he soundly beats them. Realizing that Abraham is still in the rubble, Steve digs him out to find him dying. Abraham tells him to go to his wife and son as they are not safe before he dies, and Steve vows to get revenge on his killers if it's the last thing he does.
Meanwhile, aboard the SHIELD helicarrier, Timothy Dugan and Sharon Carter report to Nick Fury to advise him that Captain America has been revived. Fury is determined to make Captain America come back with him to SHIELD headquarters or force him to do so.
