Red Light Nation
Captain America) and Hawkeye) are infiltrating a high end party in Bagalia, noting as they do so on the immoral nature of the city. Steve reminds Clint that they are here to extract an American senator who has a price on his head but to remain under the radar. They locate the senator but he turns on them and explodes into blue light as Steve realises it was a trap. They escape unscathed and manage to hold off the guards that are now attacking. While escaping through a window, Clint defends his handling of the situation and his claim to be an equal to Captain America. Steve observes that the senator was an L.M.D. and reveals that he was testing Hawkeye's ability to operate covertly in order to possible take over the Secret Avengers_(Earth-616)). From his previous actions he concludes that Clint is not ready. Clint becomes angry at Steve's behaviour and storms off as he brings up his parents and need for approval.
Still on the street, Captain America is attacked by Vengeance_(Earth-616)), riding a burning motorcycle, but gets away due to his lack of corruption. Before he can excape, however, Whiplash_(Earth-616)) and Princess Python) join the fight and Steve gets consumed by a giant python that sets to ingest his thoughts.
Meanwhile, Hawkeye gets on a train to Johannesburg under the name "Mr. Costello" and hears the news about the capture of an American assassin. He appears unbothered by this.
