The Freakshow
February, 1942

Stills and Project Circus (Strongman, Professor, and Sounder) infiltrate Germany with help from the French Resistance, making their way to Aufstein Castle to investigate rumors of a Nazi secret weapon. Before they can enter the castle, there's an explosion and several Nazi scientists flee.

Searching the castle in the aftermath, they find dying scientist. The scientist claims Messer's Device has created an übermensch and will soon explode. Scott orders Stills take the journal and get it back to Allied Command at all costs. The team flees. When the device explodes, Stills teleports Scott and himself to safety but loses half his left arm in the process. Professor and Sounder die in the explosion.
