Tony Stark goes to the Bugle's publisher J. Jonah Jameson to demand that he stop printing the smears but Jameson flatly refuses, not believing that Cap's "betrayal" was due to the recent Skrull invasion. Jameson gives Tony a choice: have Captain America do an exclusive interview for the Bugle or else the next day's paper will be titled ''"Captain America:[[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution Benedict Arnold]]!"''. He puts Betty Brant and a certain freelance photographer named [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] on the job.

He puts Betty Brant and a certain freelance photographer named [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] on the job.
The Cap is escorting Madame Viper and Cobra to the Baxter Building for transfer to 42 and has to feel the full abuse of an angry mob so understandably, he's not exactly forthcoming when Betty tries to interview him about the circumstances. Suddenly the convoy is attacked by the rest of the Serpent Society in a bid to free their comrades. Cap, Hawkeye and the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents return fire and Peter is able to slip away in the confusion, then swing back onto the scene as his alter ego, the Amazing Spider-Man! His heroic entry is cut short by a cave-in that sends the convoy and everything nearby down into the abandoned flood control tunnels beneath the New York subway.
Trapped in the underground with wounded S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the prisoners, and a group of hostile civilians, it is up to Cap and Spidey to lead them all to safety while the Serpent Society could be back at any moment.
