Synopsis for "The Accused, Part Four"

Robert Baldwin is in the prison gym, boxing Toomey while they taunt each other. Robert seems to be enjoying the pain now, and bounces back increasingly, soon defeating the much larger Toomey. An onlooker slices Robert's calf to fix the fight, and Toomey stomps on his leg, breaking it. Robert suddenly bursts with power from the pain, knocking down people in a circle around him before he passes out.

His mother visits, begging him to show remorse and cooperate with the authorities - Robert still does not feel that the blame is his. His speech is getting noticeably more sarcastic, his bitterness is evident. His mother loves him, but calls him stubborn, saying she wont be coming back.

At the Joe's Marine Mania crime scene, detectives have discovered the missing owner has no records.

Synopsis for "(Untitled)"

The story uses images to reflect over the Vietnam war, while drawing comparison to the current super hero civil war. The Vietnam death tolls are listed, and the images are accompanied by words adapted from the song Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel. Half the scenes show S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers attacking the hideout where Sally was interviewing the underground heroes, Typeface flinging exploding letters around him. The other image series shows wounded American soldiers, and Vietnamese soldiers fleeing from grenades. Casualties, captives, fire and despair shown on both sides, though the underground heroes are clearly shown as the victims.
