Synopsis for 1st story
In a cafe, a father and son argued over whether Sam Wilson was a good Captain America. In Florida, Zemo was sinking his sword into Captain America's chest before the hero grabbed its blades, moving his hands up before bumping the villain in the face with its hilt. Then, Captain America contemplated what to do about Lucas before Zemo attacked him again. He summoned birds to help him fight Zemo and eat every last flea that Lucas released. Zemo attempted to behead Sam to stop him from controlling the birds before Nomad returned and fought.
The birds caused Lucas' aircraft to crash before Captain America flew to save him. Zemo contacted Taskmaster and ordered him to launch the pod in Moscow only to learn that Misty had paid him not to. After Nomad defeated Zemo, he allowed Cap to knock him unconscious with his shield. Then, Nomad revealed that the bio-gel his father made him with kept him alive and that Zemo had a failsafe in the form of Baron Blood, who was strapped with bombs in Paris.
Captain America took the Infinite Elevator to Paris and handcuffed Lucas to a lamppost while Nomad stayed behind to fight Batroc, who also returned. Baron Blood sensed Redwing and bit him before flying into the sky to prepare to spread Lucas' blood.
