The Secret Six are instructed to help an enemy of the state to escape a brutal guard that hold him captive. This enemy is the same one that tortured King during the war, causing him to betray his fellow soldiers. Mockingbird saved King at that point, and he returned to the United States as a war hero, his treachery unknown to all-- but Mockingbird.
