Synopsis

"Echoes" Captain America and Bernie spend time together at Avengers Mansion, where Bernie mistakes Cap's teammate the Wasp for a mosquito. Meanwhile, Jack Monroe has a nightmare of Cap ageing and withering away. Steve arrives and they leave to visit Sam Wilson. Baron Zemo spies on the pair until Mother Superior recruits him for a sinister purpose. Cap and Nomad catch up with Falcon, who tells the pair he lost his Congressional bid. Nomad becomes distracted while Cap gives a juvenile delinquent a pep talk. Arnie Roth wakes from a nightmare of Michael as a zombie to see Mother Superior and Zemo. Mother Superior puts Arnie back to sleep and when he wakes again, Cap, Nomad and Falcon greet him. Mother Superior takes Zemo to Skull-House and introduces him to her father, the Red Skull.
