Deadpool is plagued by bad dreams of killing Coulson. Only natural when you get this much blood on your hands. Waking up on his couch in DC, he tells his daughter to get ready for school. She tells him she doesn't like her school and he tells her he can tell by the amount of kids she's beating up. Dropping her off at the Baron Zemo school, he tells her to find a teacher if anyone's bothering her. Like he says, America is having a bit of a nervous breakdown right now.

| Things are a little out of control. |
He swings a corner past some hydra agents burning some books. There is little resistance to Captain America's movement as Deadpool documents. A few Avengers. Ben Grimm. Miles Morales, etc. All of which Cap has charged him with bringing in. He stops by to meet with the supreme leader but he's in a meeting so he informs the guards he's going hunting, all the while a repeating gag of him screwing up the Hail Hydra battle cry.

| Fail, Hydra! |
The first subject he encounters is Speedball, whom is disgusted to see him working with the jackboots. Every hit bounces off of him, including one of Deadpool swords as well as countless bullets. He tells the once-Avenger they all looked up to the Unity Squad. He tells Speedball he's been looking for him as he continues to essentially beat himself up. He finally lets the hero monologue, which is plenty of time to gas bomb him. Radioing Hydra command, he requests a paddywagon. They mock him for bagging b-listers and he decides to stay out doing a little more hunting.
He hits up several empty bunkers and old headquarters looking for old timers like Black Widow and Hawkeye. His last visit is the Mount. During a hideout, he spots Quicksilver running by. He watchers through a scope and sees him delivering various items to Hawkeye. It's then he has a for sure locale of major resistance players. But he's not looking forward to squealing.

| Has Deadpool seen the light? |
Making it back to DC in time to take Ellie to school, he tells her that while she might not like her new school, he doesn't like his new job either. He drops her off and heads back to Hydra headquarters. Walking in, he's about to tell one of the Hydra goons about the Mount when his phone vibrates. Another text about Ellie getting into a fight and he has a change of heart. "About the Mount.. It's empty..". He finally lets out a real "Hail Hydra" and with that we're left to be continued.
Obviously we knew that the Secret Empire bug was biting at this title but I like the fact that Duggan is still able to keep it light. It's really sad to see Cap being such a slimeball, and Deadpool going along with it so easily kinda proves exactly what you'd expect. At least he has some reservation. Sadly that's more than Steve Rogers can say. And who'd have ever thought they'd see that?! I give this one a 9/10.
