"Tie him to za missile," the Red Skull commanded. "I vant him to be part of it when it blows up America." A few Hydra agents tied Captain America to the missile.

"You just better hope I don't make it," Captain America threatened. "Or I'm coming for you."

"I'm counting on it." The Red Skull pushed a button that sent the missile souring up into the air. Steve Rogers, for the first time in a while, was scared for his life. The hunk of metal sped through the atmosphere, carrying Rogers with it.

He only had one plan to save the United States, and it wouldn't work with his hands tied. With all his strength, he ripped the rope and climed up to the top where the wiring was. To save lives meant he had to detonate this in mid air. To save lives meant he must give his own.

Rogers ripped open the control panel and looked inside. There was a cluster of wiring in there. He remembered his bomb detonation classes at S.H.I.E.L.D. and what all the wires were for. He pulled off the red wire, then the blue, then the green and everything went white.

The missile exploded 1500 miles from the coast of New York. The shrapnel and Captain America fell thousands of feet down and into the deep, dark ocean.

News spread fast of Steve Rogers' bravery and sacrifice. Later that month, Nick Fury accepted a Purple Heart medallion on the behalf of Captain America.
