Disturbed by his strange dream about the star-spangled avenger and the Supreme Intelligence, Rick contacts Cap to arrange a meeting. The former partners sit down together at a roadside diner in Arizona to discuss Rick's kree-based nightmare…when suddenly a giant robot and a little robot attack! The Sentinel of Liberty leaps into action against the twin terrors (of Shi'ar origin) called Warstar!
