Story Featuring Captain America and the Falcon

"How is it when you're the Falcon?"

Storyline

The Falcon is attacked by a street gang and needs help from Captain America. Frustrated by simply being a "costumed athlete" he asks Cap to contact the Black Panther for help. T'Challa takes the Falcon and Leila Taylor to Wakanda. Cap learns that Peggy Carter has joined SHIELD. The Committee to Regain America's Principles, led by Quentin Harderman, begins a campaign to publicly discredit Captain America. Harderman sets up a charity fight between Cap and the Tumbler. During the fight the Tumbler is seemingly killed by Cap but Harderman had secretly hired an assassin to setup Cap as a murderer.
