Coming back from the ladies' restroom, Anastasia was now wearing a skintight mostly zipped up black jumpsuit. She holstered her pistols and slung her other weapon over her back. Walking up to Tanner, she stood over him, knocking on his head.

"Let's go, Rogers," she said, "We need you at your best." Tanner, still on his knees, was battling something different within his head.

The Cowboy side of him and the Knight side of him were in combat with a new adversary: a muscled man wearing a red, white, and blue costume, and holding the shield that Tanner had used. The Knight was slashing with a greatsword, and the Cowboy fired round after round of the repeater at the intruder. Meanwhile, the Captain was merely deflecting the shots.

"You don't understand!" he yelled, on the defensive more than the offensive, "I'm not here to hurt you!"

"We've 'eard that before, ya rascal!" the Cowboy yelled, before being beaten back by the shield.

"Thou art trespassing unwantedly. Intruders are to be driven out!" The Knight sliced at the shield, the blow glancing off. The Captain frowned.

"Enough!" he yelled, causing the two halves of the young adult to have their legs freeze in place. Shocked, they struggled to free themselves, while the Captain walked over.

"My name is Steve Rogers," he said, "Well, a piece of Steve Roger's subconsious. I was transferred to you when you touched my shield. I doubt this has happened with anyone else, but your split personalities have caused this break. You are the only one who hasn't been fully integrated. So now, trust me, we have to fuse."

"Over my dead body!" the Cowboy yelled.

"Silence!" the Knight said, "We accept."

Captain America nodded. "Okay. Now hold on, it'll just take a second."

Back in the real world, Tanner looked up, his eyes filled with a new determination. Grabbing his shield, he stood, looking over at Anastasia.

"I'm fine, Romanov." He turned to Fritz. "Ready to go, sir."
