Synopsis for 1st story
Buck and Marc meet up. Marc tells him that he feels betrayed but Buck defends his reasons; he believes that Marc is out of his league and is playing a dangerous game that he is not stable enough to play. Marc hands over the Ultron head to reassure him, but Buck is dismayed and cannot believe that Captain America allowed him to keep the head. Marc argues that Captain America trusts him but Buck still thinks he has mental problems. Marc opens up about hearing voices and is honest about their impact. He explains how anyone wearing costumes and fighting crime needs to be crazy. Eventually Buck is convinced and apologizes for calling SHIELD. Marc has an idea for Buck to make it up to him.
At the night club, one of the dancers goes to Snapdragon regarding a man in the champagne room looking to sell the Ultron head. She goes to confront this man with a katana and finds Buck. He claims to be tired of working for Moon Knight and wants to escape this city. To prove his story, he gives Snapdragon a piece of the Ultron head tech and insits on speaking with her boss. Snapdragon relays the situation to Count Nefaria who is annoyed at Moon Knight's low level superhero status and high level interference. Nefaria confronts Buck outside the club and threatens him to give up Moon Knight, but he sticks to his story. Nefaria demands Buck hand over the head. Using his power, he shatters the head. They realise it is a fake since adamantium is unbreakable. Buck comes clean about tricking him and reveals that Nefaria was now caught on camera trying to obtain illegal material (Echo having filmed everything from a rooftop). Moon Knight swoops in to knock out Nefaria while Buck takes on Snapdragon and her henchmen. Nefaria is weakened which, Moon Knight explains, is due to a chemical agent that was inside the fake head and temporary blocks his powers. Nefaria manages to hold off Moon Knight and fly away.
In the aftermath, Moon Knight discusses the outcome of the plan with his hallucinations of Steve, Peter and Logan. Unbeknownst to him, Echo is still filming as he is talking to thin air.
