Hawkeye and Mockingbird arrive at Avengers Mansion following the events of the Hawkeye limited series. They find the mansion empty except for the Vision. Wonder Man calls Avengers Mansion with the news that his agent has arrainged an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman if he brings the Avengers with him. The Vision rounds up Avengers Reservists the Beast, Black Panther and Black Widow to join Hawkeye and Wonder Man on Letterman. Minutes after settling in for their interview, the Avengers are attacked by the nefarious machines of Fabian Stankowicz. While the Avengers are busy fighting the machines, Stankowicz takes the stage to talk to Letterman. After humoring Stankowicz for a few moments, Dave knocks him out with a giant doorknob prop. The Avengers soon have the battle machines taken care of and head home.
