   Summary

   After Joaquín is struck by a missile and falls into the Indian Ocean, Sam is left with no choice but to inject him with the super soldier serum in order to save his life. Upon waking up, Joaquín learns that not only does he have enhanced physiology, but he also has begun to grow wings. In a panic, Sam decides that only one person can help them in this situation, Bucky Barnes. So, the pair take shelter in the Avenger's Watchtower, where another up-and-coming superhero is learning how to manage his powers. Together, Bob and Joaquín will learn how to love, both themselves and each other.
