Synopsis

Eli spots Winter Soldier ("Bucky" Barnes) as he leaves from a visit to his grandfather. Struggling with his role as a young patriotic black man, Eli decides to enlist Young Avengers team mates Hawkeye and Wiccan to help him track down Soldier. When they do, Patriot and Hawkeye "help" Soldier defeat a Modoc Squad. Barnes and Bradley then sit down to discuss what it means to be a patriot in general and a Patriot in particular.
