In "Spy School," Nick Fury reflects on his youth in Hell's Kitchen before bringing Laura to SHIELD HQ to offer her a spot as an agent. At the UNIT Academy, Fury endures intense training alongside two new recruits—Sidney E. Levine, a sharp tech specialist, and Val, who challenges his belief that espionage is a man’s game. When Fury faces Captain America in a demonstration bout for the recruits, a lingering side effect from an invisibility pill clouds his mind—just as Cap reveals a crucial lead on a case from a year prior.
