Synopsis for "The Voice of the Wasp!"

Captain America shows everyone the new system for recieving secret messages, but Hawkeye doesn't pay attention. Meanwhile, on the ocean Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne are doing research and spot the Sub-Mariner heading for New York. The Wasp flies to warn everyone that the Sub-Mariner may pose a threat. On the way she is captured by Attuma. Attuma brags that he has created a 'Wave Machine' that will flood the whole of the world. She manages to send a mayday to the Avengers. The Avengers, go to help the Wasp, without Hawkeye, who isn't present. The Avengers battle Attuma's forces but are ultimately captured. Hawkeye returns to the HQ and tries to check his messages but can't remember how to work it. He decides to use one of Tony Stark's inventions: the "Subliminal Recall-Inducer" to remember. However, as he uses the machine, an unknown villain approaches him silently...
