Synopsis
Clint Barton, Henry Peter Gyrich, and other SHIELD agents have just recruited James Rhodes into SHIELD's new black ops team in a weapons company's HQ. Then, a wall explodes and helicopters carrying black ops agents fly in. The SHIELD agents and Rhodes take cover behind a wall.

Clint and James have no idea who they are, but Henry Peter Gyrich explains: They are agents of the secret Empire. They are trying to steal The War Machine armor, so Clint calls the remote controlled Sky-Cycle. As the SHIELD agents wait for the Sky-Cycle, James Rhodes breaks a Secret Empire agent's neck and takes his AK-47, and shoots at some of the other agents.

Then, the remote controlled Sky-Cycle flies over, shooting at the Secret Empire agents with machine guns. The Sky-Cycle drops a package near Clint and the other agents. Clint opens it and takes out his trademark compound bow and metal-tipped arrows, which he hasn't used since the final battle with his brother.

Clint runs out from their wall, knowing that he might get himself killed. Clint pulls out an arrow and shoots with accuracy, hitting an enemy agent in the head, killing him. Then, he does the same more times, providing cover fire until James Rhodes can get to The War Machine armor.

Rhodes puts on the armor and uses it's machine gun weapons to brutally kill all the other Secret Empire agents, despite them trying to use sophistocated chemical weapons.
