Hero, you listen to me very carefully. We've done research. The gun you're holding is cursed. It's something the magic-types called Demonica. It may be hard, but you've got to get rid of it. Now, while you still can. Now, before it gets its claws into you forever. If you hold on to it, Silver, it will eventually eat your soul. Silver? Silver Sablinova, you answer me right now!

Putting a lot of trust in you, Sam Wilson. I'm the only one who knows-- not even my S.H.I.E.L.D. handlers have been told. Hydra's infiltrated everyone. Flipped someone in every one of your super hero teams. The Avengers, the Inhumans, the X-Men-- Everyone. The things I'm hearing on the stream-- The thing's they've already accomplished. Sam, the war was over before anyone knew it began... Hydra's already won.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

No, I got it -- it's just -- you hope and pray, but you never really think it's gonna happen -- Capwolf is back!

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

Sam, you are a black man, and you are Captain America. Nobody ever notices history when it's happening, but let me tell you -- that is not a thing, that is the thing. And most of us, all the time -- we just try to play like it's normal, try not to make you think about what's on your shoulders, but -- sorry, champ -- that don't mean it isn't. And this is one of those times when there's no getting around it. A lot of kids here in South Philly, they got to look up in the sky and see Jim and say that could be them someday. That kind of hope is in way too short supply these days, but -- well, now they don't have him. But at least they still have you -- and now you need to make sure that's enough.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

I don't know, baby girl -- but trust me -- Misty Knight is gonna find out. And whoever it is -- they are gonna have Hell to pay.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

Yeah, if only we had a Captain America to fight them!

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

No, Mr. Keane. I'm saying I don't think you protect people at all. You protect interests. You protect property.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

You've got to help Blade.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

You think this is it, Frank? Wolverine, down there chopping up some park rangers?

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

Stay put. Wait for me, girl. We'll do what we do.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

Our friends have to be looking for us, right?

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

Creepy cultists. Pentagram drawn in blood. And me as the human sacrifice. You're bringing back something from the dead.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

Danny! Thank God you picked up!

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)

Hell, the inmates ain't just running the asylum... they've damn well conquered it.

--Mercedes Knight (Earth-616)
