Recently shipped off to the Vault, the government's top-security detention facility for super-powered villains, the Wizard is instantly presented the opportunity to escape... by someone that the guards don't know is there. When they arrive at his cell, they find he's already donned all of his equipment. With their inferior armor, manufactured by Stane, they're badly outmatched by a massive super-villain outbreak.

Iron Man and Hawkeye both respond to the distress signal sent by the leader of the Guardsmen. But Hawkeye remembers very well that it hasn't been that long since Iron Man caused a jailbreak in this very facility during his Armor Wars.
