Agent Coulson is at the Lincoln Memorial and standing off against three Captain America clones from the future, and they won't surrender to anyone except Steve Rogers himself. Rogers radios in and tells him he's on the way, and with a gigantic Hydra tattoo across his chest, he then tells Deadpool they're scheduled meeting will have to wait. Meanwhile, Deadpool threatens a group of tourists taking his photo while he's stuck in a tree. He drops from the trees and they run away. Later he joins Coulson at the Memorial, who asks him what he's doing in DC since Cap fired him from the Avengers. Suddenly Steve Rogers walks out and the trio attacks him. They ask what the repercussions are for killing Deadpool and it turns out there are none.
While fighting, Deadpool asks Cap if he's going to reform the Unity squad and he says they'll talk about it later. Just then the largest of the three leaps at them, and Deadpool runs him through with his katanas. Rogers tells him to try and take the others alive. The remaining two left, one charges the other and Cap tells Wade to get behind him. He explodes, knocking Rogers to the ground and Deadpool cracks the joke that he wished he loved anything as much as old people love naps. The last of the three runs away and Deadpool tells the SHIELD agent to not shoot anyone HE wouldn't. Coulson scans him and they seeing him running to the Korean War Memorial. The 3rd Cap clone runs into the real one, telling him even though they failed to kill him, he can at least tell the world about his ruinous empire. Captain tells him he can't let that happen, lying to Deadpool that he's armed. Wade puts two in his chest and Steve calls for a medic. Coulson starts to tell him that he's not armed but realizing he needs to keep his poker face, instead says he's "not going to be a problem anymore...". Coulson thanks Cap for his help and it takes awhile before he's gone that Coulson's knees buckle.
He goes for a drive thinking - did Captain America use Deadpool as a torpedo, and then using a drop piece to justify the shooting? He enters a diner and opening a secret passageway walks into a safe house leftover from the "old" Fury days, and begins his investigation. The man who was his greatest hero, the man who's now the head of SHIELD, has some problems. It's up to Coulson to find out and with that, the issue is left to be continued.
I don't know how many times Captain America has been turned into a Hydra sleeper agent, or if it's maybe just that it's happened so many times in RECENT memory, but it's getting a little stale. Since I don't really read his comic, I don't know the whole story and at last look, the Avengers hadn't delved too much into it either. I guess I'll wait to find out. The only good thing is that if it's gonna happen in the pages of Deadpool, it shouldn't take too long since this book is published so often. This was a good one though. I give it an 8 out of 10.
