Synopsis:
Feeling he's being followed, Captain America unsuccessfully tries to find his pursuer. Cap exercises at Avengers Mansion. Jarvis gives Cap a letter from Ray Coulson. After dropping off an art assignment, Cap visits Ray, who asks Cap for help. Ray wants Cap to deliver a message to his son John who ran off to join a biker gang. Cap tracks the gang down and agrees to a test in order to talk to John. Cap is tied to two motorcycles for the test. Dr Octopus crashes in and steals Cap's shield. Octopus reveals he's been following Cap, waiting to strike and steal his shield in order to analyze it to make his arms stronger. Cap quickly defeats Octopus, retrieves his shield and delivers Ray's message to John, an apology for not being a better father. John decides to return home and make amends. Days later, John visits Avengers Mansion to give Cap his thanks in the form of a custom-built motorcycle.
