Plot Summary

Overview

Cap, reeling from the blast of Thor and Iron Man clashing, remembers how he was frozen and it was the Avengers that found him. Now two of his best friends are fighting a battle of ideas. Cap talks to them and tries to get both of them to calm down, but Dr Doom has provided the weapons to the Slokovians, and he still has remote control of them. He prods one of the weapons to fire a shot at Thor, which prompts him to command the Warriors Three, Balder, and Sif to attack. Cap sends Iron Man to intercept the soviet bombers that are on their way and jumps back into the fray to try again to talk sense into Thor. Thor casually backhands Cap away and into the oncoming American army. The C.O. tells Cap that he has orders from the president to move in, but Cap tells them to stand down and the soldiers obey Cap. Cap again jumps in and Thor strikes with all his fury, denting Cap's shield. Cap tells Thor that dropping a bomb on the problem won't change people's feelings. Thor relents and hammers the shield back into shape. Back at Avengers mansion Cap and Iron Man talk about the war, and how they only had one casualty, and look to Asgard floating above. In Asgard, Balder tells Thor that there are still followers that pray for help and that they laid down their arms to readily. Thor tells them that Odin never knew mortals like the Avengers, and tells them all to leave. After they go, Thor looks at a picture, then drops it to the side broken - it's a picture of himself, Captain America, and Thor as they were so long ago.
