Synopsis for "Brothers in Arms"

Deathunt 9000 leads the Strike Fireteam Decimal Four, a group of six cyborg soldiers, in tracking down the fugitive Hawkeye. A corrupted Iron Man had asked them to do so. They find their target in the company of Black Widow and U.S. Agent. Deathhunt attacks and defeats both Hawkeye and the Agent. But then War Machine arrives and turns the tide of the battle. He single-handedly kills the cyborgs and defeats Deathhunt. To avoid capture and interrogation, Deathhunt uses a "temportal" to escape.

Following the battle, War Machine decides that they should leave the Mesa Viento Airstrip and find a new place to hide. Hawkeye decides he has done enough hiding. He steals a Quinjet and goes in search of Iron Man, intending to confront his enemy.
