Paladin unties himself and shoots Moonstone. Blackbird swoops down to check on Moonstone, but the recovered Captain America grabs Blackbird's foot. Blackbird tries to escape, but can't shake Cap off. Meanwhile, Quicksand has defeated Anaconda and Diamondback's absence is noticed. Dr. Nightshade sends Ion out to find her. Diamondback is returned to the S. S. Superia where Asp and Black Mamba are determined to learn what happened. Cap defeats Blackbird, and Vision arrives in a Quinjet, Vision takes Blackbird and Moonstone away while Cap and Paladin take a sky-cycle to the S. S. Superia. Diamondback recovers, but badly shaken by her experience, swears off her life of adventure. Cap and Paladin infiltrate the S. S.
