Book Three
(flashback, one year ago)
A battle rages in Latveria, between Nick Fury’s assembled heroes, and numerous tech warriors who sport equipment normally associated with well known tech criminals. One uses Doctor Octopus’s tentacles, another has Mac Gargan’s tail. A third uses the constrictor’s coils and a fourth has the Vulture’s wings. The heroes fight hard, assisted by an unknown entity; Daisy Johnson. She has a seismic power and rips up the ground beneath their opponents. Wolverine slashes his way mercilessly through a group of warriors. The battle is tough, relentless, and strangely… forgettable.
(present)
Peter Parker is having dinner in a restaurant with his wife, Mary Jane. The memories of this battle have him at a bit of a loss. Mary Jane snaps him out if this daydream, but he almost drifts back into it as she speaks. “Hey,” she says, blowing a kiss at her husband, “Happy anniversary.” Peter smiles, but he has much to think about.
(flashback, one year ago)
Nick Fury opens fire on more tech warriors, their green-lit armor not able to withstand hi-tech S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry for long. The heroes beat a retreat behind Fury.
(present, later that evening)
Peter Parker awakes with a start, with the image of Fury stuck in his mind. He is in bed, with Mary Jane lying asleep beside him. He holds his chest as he heaves into life, but relaxes when he realizes this is just a dream. He looks at his costume hanging over the back of a chair, and hangs his head. He wonders what this is all about.
(Mt. Sinai Hospital)
Captain America has Nick Fury by the collar, and yells, “I told you!” at his adversary. Fury wishes to take this outside, but Cap points at Luke Cage, who lies seriously injured in the hospital bed behind them. “Look at him!” adds Cap. Fury exits the room, repeating his request for Cap to join him.
As Cap leaves, he turns to Jessica Jones, Luke Cage’s pregnant girlfriend, and asks if she’s okay; if her baby’s okay. Jessica looks worn out, but replies that she’s fine. Cap tells her that she needs to get away from the hospital. It isn’t safe. He suggests the Baxter Building, home to the Fantastic Four. He asks Danny Rand if his ‘iron fist’ is good to go. Danny says it is, and Jessica asks Cap what exactly is happening. Cap advises her to just keep her baby safe and away from there. He asks for Danny’s help in moving Cage. Too many people have seen him. As Cap and Fury head outside, Iron Fist wonders what the hell is going on. Jessica tells him she’s calling her lawyer.
Against a full moon and through the pouring rain, Daredevil moves through New York City with effortless agility. He swings from flagpole to streetlight, from rooftop to fire escape with assured swiftness. Using his superhuman senses, he knows that someone is in his apartment. Moreover, he knows it is Peter Parker. He and Peter came to an understanding a long time ago. They both know one another’s secret identity; even though the whole world now knows he is Matt Murdock. He can’t say he’s too thrilled to find Parker in his place, but then it’s only Peter. He’s just being paranoid.
Inside the apartment, Peter is drinking some milk from the fridge when Daredevil appears at the window. Parker spits out his drink right at Matt, shocked by his presence. His spider-sense only activates when there is danger, so Matt’s approaching presence went unnoticed. Matt climbs in through the window, and wipes milk from his facemask. He asks Peter to clean it up. Peter apologizes for barging in, and Matt asks what’s on his mind.
Peter closes the window and wipes milk from the sill. He informs Matt that he’s been seeing things. There’s this scene in his head; images really, like a dream, but he’s awake. It’s quite freaky. He continues to explain that in this dream, there’s himself, Luke Cage and the Black Widow. There’s also Wolverine and Captain America, and they’re in Latveria of all places. He doesn’t know how he knows it’s Latveria, but it is. In this dream, they’re up to their ears in crazy goons with big guns. The whole scene is just plain ugly; violent and ugly. It’s weird because he doesn’t remember it.
He turns to Matt and asks if he’s making sense, and Matt replies that he isn’t really. Peter asks why he’s having these flashes of memories of something they didn’t do. Matt looks at him as if he’s crazy. Peter asks Matt if he’s having these dreams, but Matt isn’t. Images in his head of a fight they never had, in a country he’s never been to? No. Spidey gives up. Matt suggests it’s just a nightmare. It’s not like what they do isn’t a high-pressure hobby. Peter replies that he has nightmares all the time; nightmares of Venom, of Carnage, of clones; but this isn’t a nightmare. He asks Matt to forget it. He’s probably three days away from Matt finding him running round Times Square in nothing but his web shooters and mask, wooping it up about power and responsibility.
Matt agrees to forget he never came but, as Peter leaves, Matt plays his voice messages. He has just one, and it’s from Jessica Jones. She tells him that she’s a Mt. Sinai Hospital, and explains that Luke was attacked at their home. She fights off her tears as she informs Matt that Luke is in a critical condition. She adds that they can’t operate on him because of his unbreakable skin. She’s there with Danny Rand, but Nick Fury also showed up and then Captain America, of all people, showed. She admits she doesn’t know what’s going on, and asks for some help down there. Matt readies himself, and Peter asks if it’s okay if he goes too.
Within seconds, they are back outside, the rain having now ceased. Peter thinks this is weird, because Luke was also in his dream, and he’s barely knows the guy. As he speaks, Matt asks him to be quiet. He can hear something, and leaps from the building using his billy-club to slow his fall. Spidey follows him and, as they drop, a huge explosion rocks the rooftop where they were standing. More explosions follow their trail, and as they leap for cover, Peter quips that this is why they call it Hell’s Kitchen. Spidey can see two assailants.
Hovering above the lower rooftops, Diamondback and Scorcher have lost their target. They’ve been ordered to take down Matt Murdock, but Scorcher tells ‘Debbie’ that he is sure he saw Spider-Man. Diamondback ticks off her companion for calling her by her real name. She has enough problems without everyone knowing it. She suggests he torches Matt’s house; he’ll come out. Spidey informs Daredevil that he thinks one of them is Scorcher. He’s fought him a bunch of times. He turns to see Daredevil is no longer with him.
With no sight of their target, Diamondback thinks they should bail. “She said do it tonight. Before the #$%^ goes down at…” Scorcher cuts her off. He’s had some bad experiences with Spider-Man, if it is him. Daredevil suddenly drops at them, landing a kick in Scorcher’s face whilst avoiding Diamondback’s missiles. Diamondback uses her jetpack to follow Matt who uses his billy-club to swing between them. Their tussle is interrupted as Scorcher charges up for an attack.
Fortunately for Matt, Spider-Man arrives and webs up Scorcher’s flamethrowers. He is upset at Spider-Man’s involvement and really doesn’t want to hang around. Spider-Man’s relentless teasing forces Scorcher to rocket away from the scene, leaving Diamondback to hold her own. She’s having none of it. She warns Matt that it isn’t over, before jetting away herself. Spidey tries to catch her with a web, but misses as she flies between New York’s skyscrapers to freedom.
As they watch their foes make their escape, Spidey quips that he wishes someone would make a handbook so they could keep up with all these dumkoffs. He was wondering when one of these lunatics was going to attack Matt in his own home. He’s so glad he was there to share the occasion. Matt tells him that they have to get to the hospital; something’s going on.
(Mt. Sinai Hospital)
In the corridor, as a few members of staff are having a break, Nick Fury and Captain America have their confrontation. Fury asks what happened to him, but Cap doesn’t answer. He insists they get Cage away from the hospital and away from civilians. Fury repeats his question, and this time, Cap responds.
(flashback)
Cap arrives home and is opening his door, when his keys are snatched from his hands by a metallic tentacle. He turns to see two costumed villains behind him. One of them looks like a female Doctor Octopus, and her friend, hovering on a flying glider, looks a little like the Green Goblin. He is holding a glowing pumpkin in his left hand, and looks like he might use it.
(present)
Cap informs Fury that he held them off. He bashed the girl in the face with the other one’s flying glider. It’s not his proudest moment, he admits. They panicked and took off. He then called S.H.I.E.L.D. to report it and get some intel on his mystery attackers, only to hear that Luke Cage was attacked as well, and that Fury was visiting. A voice says that he was attacked at his home as well. The two men look up to see Daredevil and Spider-Man arriving.
Cap is surprised that Daredevil heard him say he was attacked from so far away, and Daredevil apologizes for that. It seems, he adds, that those with public or semi-public identities have a price on their heads tonight. “Yes, it would,” replies Cap, turning to look at Nick Fury. Parker quips that he goes to all this trouble to keep his identity a secret, and he still gets caught up in this. Cap tells Spidey that he was caught up in this anyway. “I was?” queries Spidey. Daredevil asks what that means. Cap tells them that tonight’s the anniversary. “Of what?” asks Daredevil. “Of our Secret War,” replies Cap. Fury looks at Cap as if he’s let the cat out of the bag.
As Daredevil senses something and moves to face New York’s impressive skyline, Spidey wonders what everyone is talking about. Daredevil tells them they have to move. His radar must be off, but something wicked this way comes. Glowing lights in the distance move ever closer. Daredevil tells Cap that if he has back up he can call, to please do so. Fury radios in security code 44, whilst Spidey fears the worst. Suddenly, an ambulance explodes right in front of them, taking two cars with it. Cap lifts his shield and Fury grabs an automatic rifle. In no time, they find themselves facing over a dozen tech-themed villains, and they look like they’re out for blood.

Book Four
(The story so far)
A year ago, Nick Fury and the Black Widow uncovered a plot involving the Tinkerer and the prime minister of Latveria, Lucia von Bardas, which involved funding tech-themed villains. Fury suspected something major was being planned and took his concerns to the president. He was dismissed, and so decided to do something about it himself. He assembled several heroes to join him, and took them to Latveria to overthrow the government. Precise details aren’t known about what went down but, a year later, Lucia von Bardas is out for revenge against Nick Fury and his team, and has sent the villains to attack them.
(Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Youngsters, Salem Center)
Wolverine is relaxing in the grounds of the mansion, enjoying a beer and a rare moment of peace. As he wishes he had a cigar handy, he looks into the clear evening sky, and thinks, ‘Ah… crap!”
In an instant, he’s up and on his feet, preparing for action. He can hear them, even though his assailants are still a fair distance away. He can smell them too. He pops his claws, but realizes an instant too late that he’s about to be in a world of hurt. He tries to avoid an explosion, but the searing flames ignite his skin, which only keep burning as he runs to the safety of the tree line. He screams in pain and recovers against a tree, as his healing factor starts to work. He can see two Mandroids hovering above, silhouetted against a full moon. He sprints for more cover, evading fire as he runs. He realizes that they’re not after the school - they want him. As he watches them, he wonders what the %^&* he’s done this time.
(New York pier area)
The pier area is awash with heroes and villains, as the place becomes engulfed in flames. A major brawl has broken out between numerous tech-themed villains working for Lucia von Bardas, and the four heroes who were visiting Luke Cage at Mt. Sinai Hospital. Spider-Man takes on three familiar villains in the Scorpion, Lady Octopus and the Hobgoblin, but the heroes are hopelessly outnumbered. Captain America fends off the Spider-Slayer, as Nick Fury stands his ground against the Crimson Dynamo and Shocker. As Daredevil swings through the air to avoid the Constrictor’s electric cables and Boomerang’s weaponry, more villains aren’t far behind to help their comrades.
Spider-Man knows that this Hobgoblin isn’t one of his normal opponents, and offers some free advice about how bad his outfit really is. He hopes there isn’t an Osborn under his mask. He really can’t handle any more Osborns. The guy never shuts up, the Scorpion calls out.
Nearby, Cap asks Nick Fury to call in some reinforcements. Even Cap knows when he’s outnumbered. “This is New York City! We can’t have this here! We can’t let this happen!” he cries. The Constrictor grins maniacally, and assures him it is.
As Daredevil swings acrobatically through the crowd, taking the Constrictor out with his billy-club, he asks what it going on there. What do they want? Constrictor replies that he wants him to die. That would be plenty. Colonel Nick Fury uses some kind of handheld device to allow him to move through the air, which enables him to keep active enough not to be pinned down. He carries a pistol in the other hand. He warns the villains that they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. He’s already called in the cavalry and an army of gun-toting S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are about to swarm right up their armored pattoties! They should do themselves a favor and stand down!
The battle rages, with Goldbug and King Cobra teaming up to fight Captain America. The battle is messy and brutal, but with so many villains trying to get to their respective opponents, they tend to get in each other’s way. Cap calls Tony Stark, and tells him that if he’s online, he’s needed, now! Nick Fury calls Reed Richards and politely apologizes for the lateness of the hour, but…
Spider-Man doesn’t care who they call. He should call everybody; even the Secret Defenders. Beggars can’t be choosers. He is thrown into a fence by the Scorpion as he speaks. Daredevil uses his agility well, and asks once again what the score is there, as his feet connect with both the Wizard’s and the Trapster’s faces simultaneously. He leaps past them, and picks up a vagrant who is caught up in this whole mess. He orders him to get away from there, and turns to see the reluctant Scorcher, standing nearby, by using his unique sonar.
Immediately, he dashes towards him and grabs him around the waist, taking them both into the murky harbor waters. They come up underneath a jetty, and Daredevil is in no mood for games. He grabs his foe and orders him to tell him what’s going on. Why are they being attacked, and why now? He slams the Scorcher against one of the supports, and his helmet shatters. As Captain America’s shield smashes into the back of Lady Octopus’s neck, Daredevil pumps the Scorcher for answers. The villain is terrified, and says he didn’t want any of this. He knows he’s done some bad #$%^^ in his life, but this is above and beyond. He’d never have signed on if he knew how dark this was gonna get. Murdock asks what he’s talking about. How dark what was going to get? The guy’s scared witless. He explains that he traded in his whole damn life for the suit, and now he’s %^&*ed so bad!
Spider-Man, who has been tossed through a window by the Lady Octopus’s tail prior to her concussion, lies in pain. He knows that, if he had a brain, he’d sneak out and go home to his wife. He picks himself up and witnesses the carnage outside. Of course, there’s that whole ‘power and responsibility’ thing to think of. Suddenly, he smiles. “Whoo, thank god!” he exclaims.
To Spidey and his fellow heroes’ relief, the Fantastic Four have arrived, and Ben asks what time it is. He gives them a hint. It begins with a C and has a lobbering in it! With Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman arriving in the Fantasticar, and the Human Torch soaring through the sky, the odds have more than evened themselves up.
Mr. Fantastic uses a huge fist to knock the Scorpion down, whilst the Thing puts Mentallo out of action. Reed asks Nick Fury what’s going on. He replies that they just needed some muscle on this, and Reed says he has it. He’d just like to know what they’re fighting about. Before he can respond, he is distracted and Daredevil tells him he has to end this. They have to get this out of New York City. Fury wonders what he’s supposed to do. He explains that they have to get this out of a populated area, now! Captain America asks what’s happened, as suddenly the villains run out of juice. Daredevil motions towards the sky. “Her,” he replies. Above them is Lucia von Bardas, and she looks like she means business.
As the villains’ costumes fizzle to a stop, several fall out of the sky and hit the ground hard. A closer look reveals Lucia has a badly scarred face; and her armor covers what’s left of her body. She congratulates the heroes on their perseverance and American spirit. Most of them were supposed to be dead by now, but so was she, so she guesses they’re even. Fury points his weapon at her and calls for them to take her out. Spidey has no idea what’s going on, but Cap appears to know exactly what the score is, and he hurls his shield at her. None of their attacks come to anything, as Lucia erects a force field that deflects all their blows.
Suddenly, the villains begin to scream, and their costumes crackle with energy. King Cobra wonders what’s happening, as the power is drained from his armor. Lucia informs Nick Fury that this is the day he pays for all his sins. His costumed soldiers have been gathered and beaten. Those who survived, she adds, were purposely gathered here; rounded up for one purpose - to watch this!
She wants the last thing they see to be the culmination of all his lies and betrayals. Electricity begins to spark from the villain’s armored costumes, and a connection is made between them. “My soldiers,” laughs Lucia, “the physical battle was my gift to them.” Reed Richards catches on amazingly quickly, and tells his wife to separate them with her force field. It’s a chain reaction energy flux!
Fury asks what on Earth that is, so Reed explains that it’s a bomb. All of the tech armor together makes a bomb. Schlicting wants the armor off, now, but he and his fellow villains are helpless as Lucia takes control of them. Sue Richards struggles to maintain her force field, and recoils in shock as her efforts come to naught. Lucia informs them that they are here to witness the destruction of their people, as they tried to destroy hers. The deaths of millions of Americans will be on Nick Fury’s head, she cries. They will name his desert wasteland after him.
The Thing tries punching through Lucia’s defenses, but even his mighty blows simply bounce off. He is thrown backwards, and looks up to se a huge ball of white energy building up around this mad woman. The heroes are defenseless against this kind of power, and even Cap can do nothing but shield himself. In a last valiant effort, he calls for the team to pick a villain and to try and break the chain. He uses his shield to smash the Crimson Dynamo’s armor but, as they try, they are lifted high into the air and tossed around like they were nothing. ”This is a bomb,” cries Lucia von Bardas at Nick Fury; “And you pulled the trigger!”

Untitled
Memo from S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Colonel Fury (seconded by Deputy Director Valentina Allegro de Fontaine) to the United States Security Council. A file on Phineas Mason was attached.
In the memo, Fury explained that it had come to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s attention that various technologically advanced villains (TAV’s) had been dealing with the Tinkerer when in need of repairs to their costumes. The Tinkerer had been spotted in Latveria with Prime Minister Lucia von Bardas. Fury, on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. requested the resources necessary to investigate Bardas and Latveria, and prevent any offensive actions against the United States or the rest of the world. This request was denied by the Security Council, and Fury made the decision to carry out his own Secret War.
Philadelphia Enquirer Article (by Nancy Buczak)
Her headline was ‘Man electrocuted by aliens in downtown Philly - Flying men spotted on scene.’ This newspaper report described events that took place in Secret War #1. It stated that eyewitnesses described ‘men and women with rocket packs’ flying onto the scene after Simon Maddicks, also known as Killer Shrike, was electrocuted in the street. The paper didn’t identify Maddicks. One of the ‘eyewitnesses,’ Jason Sitwell, described the agents as aliens, who were taller than normal humans. Fury made a note in his file to thank former agent Johnny Rogers who worked at the newspaper for covering for them. He also wanted to speak with agent’s Woo and Sitwell about the handling of this operation. Also, he thought ‘Jasper’ Sitwell needed to keep his quotes shorter, as he had too much fun with this one, and he needed to change more than just his first name.
Daily Bugle Article (by Julie Slott)
Slott’s article was from her gossip column, filled with conjecture and speculation. She reported that Alison Blaire, the one-time mutant superstar known as the Dazzler, was seen at Club M. Slott asked, did she leave with a certain local cop who works the streets of Mutant Town? Are they an item? Was this strictly a business call?
She then reported on Captain America and Luke Cage boarding a plane for Latveria, and wondered what kind of vacation they could take there.
Her final report was on Giant-Man and the Wasp attending the opening of a super-chic restaurant, and speculating on their relationship.
Draft e-mail from Kat Farrell, Daily Bugle reporter, to Robbie Robertson and Ben Urich.
On February 12th, 2004, Kat Farrell was writing a report on the attack on Luke Cage in his apartment, and the concurrent attack on Captain America at his home. The subject was ‘Bring on the bad guys?’ She asked if the attacks were connected. Kat noted that explosions were reported at Matt Murdock’s apartment too. Some eyewitness reported seeing Spider-Man and Daredevil moments later fighting two unidentified villains at approximately the same time. Kat wondered whether to include this as well. With the litigation currently going on between Murdock and their distinguished competition, do they really want to make a claim that would imply a similar belief on their part?
NYPD dispatcher recording
This was a transcription of a recording taken by the NYPD of their dispatch officer, Ted Ling, speaking with Sgt. Greg Wimmer who was on his way to Mt. Sinai Hospital where a major disturbance had broken out. Wimmer saw Iron Man flying past on his way there. Ted Ling received reports of the situation getting worse, and he informed Sgt. Wimmer and his men to stand down, ordering them to help get people away from the docks and maintain at least a ten-block perimeter.
Notes from Nick Fury’s private journal.
Fury considered several people who might be able to help him out with his Secret War. He wondered whether to use fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but worried for their careers if things went wrong. He considered using Wolverine, but knew he was a wildcard. He asked himself how he would handle him if he went too far. He then considered Peter Parker, who nearly always worked solo. How would he react to working as part of a team? He needed to keep this mission quiet, and whoever he chose, he had to trust implicitly. He couldn’t believe that a Latveria minus Dr. Doom could be this much trouble, or that his own government once again seemed to be turning its head the other way in times of crisis. His first choice was Captain America, because of his leadership qualities.
Agents considered included not only the ones he finally chose, but also Cyclops, Kitty Pryde (a one-time S.H.I.E.L.D. agent herself), Mystique and even the Purple Man.
Fury read personal profiles on the following people: -
Luke Cage - In Fury’s extended notes, he mentioned that Cage had recently struck up a relationship with Jessica Jones, who was pregnant with his child. He wanted both of them kept under surveillance.
Daisy Johnson - Her records revealed her to have a very high IQ, but she was shoplifting and failing school. Fury took her under his wing and had S.H.I.E.L.D. train her as an agent. She took to the training well, and excelled in shadow ops. She’d have finished top of the class even without her talent for seismic disruption. Fury felt her seismic powers could be utilized well in operations to catch their foes off-balance. Fury admitted to feeling a little guilty about bringing a young woman like Daisy into their operations, but would rather her fight for good rather than using her pent up anger against them.
Daredevil - Resilience and perseverance were the two main qualities that Fury admired in Matt Murdock.
Spider-Man - Fury noted that Spider-Man fed off a staggering guilt that propelled him to do basically anything asked of him.
Captain America - Fury liked his leadership abilities, and knew that his patriotism rang true and his heart was in the right place.
Wolverine - Fury would like Logan beside him working for S.H.I.E.L.D. He knew Wolverine was a bomb; a secret weapon just waiting to be messed with and cut loose by any number of organizations for their own evil purposes. He also wondered that if his mind was so messed up, why couldn’t S.H.I.E.L.D. get into the game.
Black Widow - Fury noted that due to Natasha’s past relationship with Matt Murdock, this could be used to coerce both of them should the time come when they were needed.
Cyclops - Rejected due to the fact that he lacked a killer instinct, and because he was dating Emma Frost, who couldn’t be trusted. Fury felt having her involved with mutant children was a disaster waiting to happen.
Leonard Samson - Rejected mainly because Fury didn’t know the extent of his abilities in the field, and this wasn’t the moment to begin finding out.
Falcon - Rejected due to his lack of real power. Although Sam Wilson had proven his worth in the past, he felt it best to leave him behind on this one.
Iron Man - Rejected predominantly due to the fact that the Tinkerer might have had some way of negating his armor’s power. Without it, Stark is pretty helpless. Also, Stark tends to think a lot, and what he needed on this mission were soldiers who could follow orders, not question them.
Mystique - Rejected. Fury felt she could be an asset due to her infiltration abilities, and her vast experience, but discarded her because he would never know which side she might take at any given moment. Fury also knew that she worked undercover for Xavier.
Purple Man - Rejected. Fury was desperate, and thought Killgrave’s ultra mass mind control abilities could be a way of getting the job done without bloodshed. However, Killgrave was a serial killer, and even a desperate situation could not justify his release.
Kitty Pryde - Rejected mainly because Fury thought that if she was included, then Wolverine might pull out, and he really wanted Wolverine aboard. It was a shame as her phasing powers might have been useful against the Tinkerer’s tech.
The Thing - Rejected due to the fact everyone recognizes him. Fury admitted he would probably choose him over Cage, but because of his appearance, and the fact that Latveria is an old stomping ground of his, Ben Grimm just wouldn’t do.
S.H.I.E.L.D file created by Nick Fury regarding the CIRCUIT Protocols, to be read by Contessa Valentina Allegro de Fontaine in case something went wrong
Fury wrote a file to be read by the Contessa should his Secret War fail. He explained that he had secretly smuggled a band of agents into Latveria to discover what von Bardas was up to. If Valentina read this, then his agents would have failed. Fury had picked out several operatives who he felt could go in hard and literally tear Latveria apart. He knew Valentina wouldn’t take the matter lightly, and nor should she. Fury feels it would be a drastic measure, but one that would ultimately save millions of lives. They were Hawkeye, Hulk, the Punisher, War Machine, the Sentry, Spider-Woman I and Warbird. They would be assisted by S.H.I.E.L.D. Mandroids.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agent profiles
Jasper Sitwell - Fury described Jasper as being a talented man, and their best interrogator.
James Woo - Fury sited Woo’s interrogations of Hobgoblin, Grizzly and Killer Shrike as the reasons he began to see connections between the Tinkerer and Latveria in the first place.
Profile
Grizzly - In Fury’s notes, he described how Grizzly became the first lead in this case. Fury wasn’t even present for his interrogation. Maxwell Markham was trying to turn over a new leaf, but it was a failed attempt.
Interview #1
Sitwell and Woo interrogated Grizzly, on July 1st 2003. It was observed by the Deputy Director. Markham explained that he was caught trying to stop a robbery. He had organized a team to take on Spider-Man, which included the Gibbon, but he helped Spider-Man and turned against his friends. Unfortunately, he was left holding cash from the bank robbery, and was apprehended trying to return the cash. He was asked by Agent Sitwell how he managed to take care of his suit. He didn’t seem like the tech-type. Grizzly let it slip that there was someone who maintained it for him. He was old and had white hair with a long nose and was suggested to Markham by the Rhino. The old man only dealt in favors, never cash. He usually wanted things stealing for him; usually tech stuff so he could tinker with it. The old man wanted to look at his suit, but Markham didn’t want it falling into the wrong hands as he was trying to change. Instead, he let the man fix the exo-skeleton whilst still wearing it. Markham mentioned a lot of other guys taking a similar kind of deal. Agent Woo was shown footage of the robbery by Contessa Valentina Allegro de Fontaine, and this backed up what Grizzly was saying.
S.H.I.E.L.D. File
The Tinkerer - Fury had wondered what the Tinkerer had to do with Latveria and Lucia von Bardas. Phineas T. Mason had been treated like a second-class villain for too long, and Fury felt his latest moves put him at the top of the list. Fury never really concerned himself with Mason until Mason’s son died. His name began to crop up more frequently after that in the interrogation rooms, and it was during an interrogation that Woo and Sitwell made some breakthroughs into the Latverian situation. The Tinkerer was collecting tech and studying it as a fee for his services. It made S.H.I.E.L.D. anxious. Separately, the tech villains weren’t much of a threat, but together, they could be quite a force. It sounded like Mason had been tinkering their tech, maybe without them knowing it.
Evidence Note
In Fury’s additional notes, he commented that, as is common with genius types, the Tinkerer couldn’t, or simply didn’t want to, remember the names of those he associated with. S.H.I.E.L.D. recovered a partially burnt list from his safe house, during the Killer Shrike debacle, and it gave them a few leads. It led to the discovery of the new Diamondback’s identity, and eventually it may lead them down some other paths as well. The Tinkerer seemed to be working in a never-ending string of favors that lead to some unknown goal. Each customer he worked with got a task that led to another customer. It was like he was working the barter system. All this was for the benefit of his backer, Lucia von Bardas. Fury wondered if there was a way to exploit this system.
Observation Transcript
This was an observed conversation between an unidentified woman and two former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Mike Johnson and Chris Nolan, following the disembarking of Flight 456 from New York to Latveria. The unidentified woman was informed that the ‘packages’ had been delivered. She asked if there was any reason to suspect that the packages might be in Latveria for anything other than what they claimed. Mike Johnson informed her that they had to calm one of them; the Canadian. Captain America took care of him. Nolan mentioned that the Canadian made some comments about the model turned actress on a magazine cover. The teacher took offense. He’d called her a ‘hot momma.’ The unidentified woman realized they were talking about Mary Jane Parker.
She asked them what exactly happened. Nolan said the Canadian stood up and told stars and stripes to, “Mind your own business, bub.” Upon hearing this, the unidentified woman replied, “Oh boy.” Mike Johnson continued to report that they used elephant paralyzer on the Canadian to subdue him. It took him out, for only twenty minutes. They’d used enough to knock him out for three days. Nolan asked the unidentified woman what the hell she’d gotten them into. Johnson asked if this was a big deal. The unidentified woman said it was the biggest, and then asked what happened when he woke up. Nolan replied that he seemed to forget the whole thing. He asked the teacher how his wife was, but he pretended to be asleep. “He’s a good boy,” she replied. She told the two former agents they were free to go.
Fury noted that former field agents Johnson and Nolan then boarded Flight 325 for Hawaii. The unidentified woman slipped into the ladies’ room and was never seen again. He marked this file for possible entry into rogue agent log on Fury’s approval, and then for deletion.
Transcription of a recording from Room 274 between Nick Fury and Captain America
Captain America wanted to tell the others about what they’d been involved in, but Nick Fury said no. This was not an Avengers mission that was going to pop up in the Bugle on Monday morning. Cap knew this, but wanted to tell Parker, Cage, even Logan. They deserved to know what they were a part of. Fury told him it wasn’t that simple. Not everything was black and white. He thought Cap had been thawed out long enough to know that. After a minute and a half’s pause, Fury apologized for the aside. Cap was worried in case anything should happen to them, but Fury replied that it had been six months and nothing had happened. It was a war, and it was fought like any other war. If there are going to be repercussions; so be it! The mission ended and they went their separate ways. Nothing more, nothing less.
Cap thought Fury didn’t really believe that. He told Fury that they may be able to handle the repercussions, but what about Cage, Parker or Murdock? Calling revenge against people who trusted Fury and were willing to give their lives for his war… to call that repercussions? That was something the fat guys in suits upstairs that Fury liked to mock would say.
Cap didn’t come to fight with Fury; he just wanted Fury to do the right thing. He told Fury their country was great because of men like him. He trusted him, and so did the others. They needed to know because they deserved a chance to defend themselves. Fury replied that they were grown men and could handle themselves. Cap hoped he was right. Fury then asked why Cap didn’t just tell them. Cap told him it wasn’t his place. He figured Fury had his reasons for running things the way he did. Cap was a soldier before, and is now. Soldiers don’t make policy. He just wanted Fury to know there’d be a reckoning, and they should be prepared for it.
Cap left, and Fury spent twenty minutes considering what they had talked about before departing the room.
Letter found in apartment of Kali Hudak
A letter was retrieved from the trash along with $300 cash from Kali’s address. She was the ex-wife of Jamal Hudak, better known as Scorcher. Hudak had sent his wife the money. He asked about Lucas, and whether he was still getting good grades. He wanted Kali to tell the boy he missed him. He wanted her to do something for him. He asked her to leave town, and use the money to get a room with Lucas in Jersey, or to visit her mom in Cleveland. Whatever she did, he wanted her out of the city. He informed her something big was happening. He and his colleagues had their markers called in and were doing a job together. It was going down in New York in the next couple of days, and so even though she may hate his life, he wanted her to listen.  He promised to give up the life. Things had gotten scary but he couldn’t go into further detail. Maybe after this was over, he hoped they could try again. He wanted to be a part of his son’s life. He promised to send another letter after this was over.
Profile
Diamondback - Debbie Bertrand was the daughter of David and Kirsty Bertrand from Greenville, North Carolina. She was a student at the University of North Carolina and All-American athlete. She was a possible mercenary and former waitress. She was known to be connected to Scorcher and Lucia von Bardas.  Her abilities involved gymnastics, accomplished hand-to-hand combat, knife throwing, spike throwing and carried ‘diamonds’ which were needle-sharp and occasionally filled with various substances.
Fury noted that she was going to be in trouble when the real Diamondback, Rachel Leighton, found out she was using her name. Debbie seemed new to the game, and was extremely paranoid that she’d get caught. She would over-plan and didn’t seem to adapt well.
In Jasper Sitwell’s extended notes, he added how he wondered why he was always called in every time one of these crazies took over an old name. Why not Woo or even Special Agent Jessica Drew who’d been put in charge of the RAFT? He thought Debbie Bertrand simply took a wrong turn somewhere along the line, and ended up with a S.H.I.E.L.D. file. It was just Sitwell’s luck that he ended up having to fill that file.
Interview #2
Jasper Sitwell interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Bertrand - the parents of the new Diamondback. The interview was observed by Agent Clay Quartermain and took place in a S.H.I.E.L.D. compound in Raleigh, North Carolina. Sitwell asked about their daughter. The Bertrand’s were anxious, and asked if she was okay. Sitwell assured them that she was, but that she had taken on the guise of Diamondback and engaged in multiple criminal acts. Mrs. Bertrand thought he must be mistaken. Her daughter was working as a waitress in Charleston for the summer. She even told her mom that she had an interview with one of her seminar professors from freshman year. Sitwell informed her that Debbie hadn’t been at her job at Chimichuchu’s in over two months. According to her shift manager, Chip, she showed up for her paycheck one Friday and never came back.
Mr. Bertrand asked if he was sure it was his daughter. After being assured that it was, he asked Agent Sitwell if they needed a lawyer. He replied that they could, but only if they felt uncomfortable being there. They weren’t in any trouble, but they needed to find out a few things and trace the series of events. He asked how she got involved, and why. After chatting between themselves, the Bertrand’s agreed to answer his questions, providing he did his best to help their daughter.
Agent Sitwell asked if Debbie was involved with the Tinkerer, Scorcher or Lucia von Bardas. Mrs. Bertrand asked why she would involve herself with these people, but suddenly noticed a ‘Dr. Bardas’ amongst the photos provided. She explained that Debbie took her to one of her seminars on parents weekend. Lucia had told them that Debbie had potential. That was who her job interview was with. They were so proud when Debbie told them Lucia was elected prime minister of Luxemburg. Agent Sitwell pointed out that it was Latveria, not Luxemburg. Mrs. Bertrand thought that was what she had said. Her husband reminded her that Latveria was Dr. Doom’s country, and Sitwell asked Agent Quartermain if he got that. Quartermain replied that Fury was already on his way. Agent Sitwell asked them to hold tight and hoped they could help their daughter. Mrs. Bertrand said it wasn’t his fault she turned out the way she did.
Transcription of phone conversation between a S.H.I.E.L.D. operator and Contessa Valentina Allegro de Fontaine - 13th June 2005
The operator informed Valentina that they had been monitoring Jessica Jones’ phone line like she asked, and coordinating any agent discussions in the field. Valentina was dealing with something concurrently, and kept mumbling to someone as she spoke to the operator. Someone, it seemed, had gone missing, and Valentina wanted him found. The operator informed Valentina that Jessica had called many subjects involved in Fury’s altercation, including Matt Murdock’s law firm and Luke Cage. She also contacted Misty Knight and Danny Rand. Rand was seen at the hospital with Cage and Jones earlier, but this was the first contact they’d had with Knight. They weren’t sure how she tied in with things.
Valentina informed the operator that Cage was Jones’ boyfriend and Knight had worked with both Rand and Cage. She thought they needed to study their files more closely before an op. If the photos of Cage and Rand weren’t enough to keep them interested in the file, nothing would be. The operator replied that they didn’t see a lot of files because they were not yet a field operator. Valentina told them that if they wanted to get ahead, they’d have to. The operator then informed Valentina that it appeared Matt Murdock’s home was attacked last night as well. Both he and Spider-Man were seen together. Murdock’s Daredevil persona and Spider-Man were seen alongside Fury before…
Valentina replied, “Murdock’s home as well? She yelled to someone nearby and asked why she was only just getting this information. She wanted her people to start connecting the dots. This wasn’t the way S.H.I.E.L.D. worked. She asked the operator if there was anything else.
The operator then told her that they knew the Jones woman attempted to contact Special Agent Aspen. Valentina said that Aspen had been off the board for a long time, and figured Jones must be panicking a bit. Maybe she thought her ex may have had some information. Valentina thought Fury was with her. She asked the operator if they could bring in Jones for questioning. Their agents were in contact with her, right? Maybe they could calm her down. She added that according to Captain America, Jessica Jones was pregnant so she shouldn’t be running all over the city playing detective regardless of what was going on.
The operator replied that they were about to get to that. There had been an incident. Following the disturbances last night, and the disappearance of many of their principles, she had been informed that they had lost contact of Jessica Jones. They still had the man she was with under surveillance, however. He was Ben Urich, a reporter with the Daily Bugle and current co-worker. Valentina couldn’t believe they’d lost contact with a pregnant woman. The operator told her that apparently their field operatives hadn’t been informed that Jones was a superhuman, or pregnant.
Valentina asked if she thought they made up these files for nothing. She told the people she was with that Jones had been lost, and she wanted a sweep to make sure she wasn’t taking a catnap in her apartment or having a coffee at the Daily Bugle. She told the operator that the situation had gone ROANOKE. She told her to delete this conversation as per protocols and to connect her with Special Agent Jessica Drew. The operator did as they were asked, and Valentina added that they should make sure they read the files. It would help their career last a little longer. Valentina then added that it wasn’t the operator’s fault. It had been a trying twenty-four hours and they had been very helpful. She wanted a level 9 - her ears only.
This file was deleted immediately according to ROANOKE guidelines.

To Begin the World Over Again, part 3
Jersey City – during the takeover:Darkness has fallen across the East Coast of the United States, but it's even darker for those in New York City, as a dome has covered the city. 'Oh my God! The whole city!' someone on a pier at New Jersey gasps as hundreds of civilians gather to watch what is happening across the river. 'What is it?' someone else asks. 'Are they alive in there?' a man asks Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms Marvel, who looks on in shock. 'My sister!' a woman gasps, while another woman asks Ms Marvel if she is going to do something. 'Is it aliens?' a man asks. 'Somebody should help them' another man calls out.
New Tian – now:'Uggh! Are we going to fight them again?' Lunella Lafayette a.k.a. Moon Girl asks as she gets out of the Warriors' busted car and stretches her arms while referring to several mutants who have gathered nearby. 'No. We are definitely not...probably not' Daisy Johnson a.k.a. Quake declares. 'I kinda hate the X-Men' the shirtless Dante Pertuz a.k.a. Inferno tells the others. Ms Marvel tells him to be nice, while Karnak says nothing. The Warriors approach the group of mutants waiting for them – Tabitha Smith a.k.a. Boom-Boom, Julio Esteban Richter a.k.a. Rictor, Henry McCoy a.k.a. the Beast, Illyana Rasputin a.k.a. Magik, Warren Worthington a.k.a. Archangel and Guido Carosella a.k.a. Strong Guy.
The Beast greets the Inhumans and welcomes them to New Tian, their small but impressive breakaway nation built around the ideas of tolerance and celebrating their differences. 'To what do we owe the pleasure of your invading our country?' the Beast asks them. 'Hello, mutants. We didn't think you'd let us in the front door' Quake replies. 'We wouldn't have' the Beast tells her sternly. Quake frowns as she tells the Beast that they aren't here to cause trouble. 'You say that, Daisy. But given the tenuous relationship between our communities, I hope you can see why your entrance is a cause for concern' the Beast declares. 'We're not trying to poison you all... again. We're just looking for an Inhuman. A kid named Leer' Daisy explains, adding that they think he is in this little country.
The Beast tells Quake that he would love to help, but that he doesn't know of any Inhumans in this country. 'With everything going on in your big country, how could you be sure he's here?' the Beast asks. Quake explains that Moon Girl located a lab operating off the grid here in New Tian and tells the Beast that she is sure he can guarantee her that their kid isn't tucked away in there.
Nearby, Ms Marvel extends her arm and reaches out her hand to Magik and Boom-Boom. Introducing herself, she tells them that they have never actually met. Magik leans on her Soulsword, and tells Ms Marvel that she shouldn't have come here. Boom-Boom casually checks her nails and tells Magik to take it easy. 'It's probably not her fault. She looks like she's just their cheerleader' Boom-Boom adds. 'Hey! I've been a member of the Champions and the Avengers!' Ms Marvel declares. 'Oooh, an Avenger. You guys are doing great work these days' Magik replies sarcastically. 'Lemme ask – Carol Danvers doesn't mind you riding her coattails this hard?' Boom-Boom enquires. 'Look, we're just trying to find a missing kid' Ms Marvel explains, moving closer to the former New Mutants.
Boom-Boom leans in and points a finger in Kamala's face, telling her that she gets that, but the thing is, she is trying to remember all the times the Inhumans helped the mutants when they were in trouble. 'And I got nothing' Boom-Boom exclaims. 'Yeah, Boom-Boom, that's what I got, too' Magik agrees. 'This kid may be the only thing keeping the Inhumans from being exterminated!' Kamala declares, frowning as Boom-Boom's finger touches her below her neck. 'Aww, shucks. Too bad you won't be able to do anything to stop that. Cheerleader' Boom-Boom replies, before Ms Marvel shifts her hand to a giant hand and swats the surprised Boom-Boom back so hard that her shades fly off her head.
Jersey City – after the takeover:'Hello? Anyone out there?' Kamala calls out over her communicator as she runs down a deserted street. 'Who is this? What are you doing on Avengers comms?' a voice replies. Ms Marvel introduces herself, and asks 'Who is this?' 'Quit the team but kept the cool stuff, huh?' the voice replies, before the Tony Stark A.I. introduces himself and tells Ms Marvel that she needs to get off the communicator, now. Why?' Kamala enquires as she crouches behind some steps as Hydra soldiers march past her. 'Because you're a kid! And you're not even an Avenger anymore. And it's not safe... and you're a kid! We've had enough casualties, okay!' the A.I. declares. But Ms Marvel tells him to wait, and that she needs to know the plan. 'What are we doing?' she asks. She moves closer to the Hydra soldiers, her back to a brick wall as Tony Stark A.I. tells Kamala that the plan now is that she lies low until she can move safely. 'You can't be running around in the open right now' he remarks. Kamala tells him that people need her help, and that there are Hydra soldiers all over Jersey City. 'Because of you. They're hunting for you, kid' Tony Stark A.I. reveals. Kamala hangs her head as the A.I. tells her that if she wants to help people out there, then she needs to leave.
New Tian – now:'Lemme go!' Kamala calls out  as Inferno, Moon Girl and Quake restrain her. Devil Dinosaur is behind them, while Archangel hovers overhead. Strong Guy grabs Magik as she tries to raise her Soulsword, and Rictor keeps Boom-Boom at bay. 'Get off!' Boom-Boom tells him. The Beast and Karnak stand together and the Beast sighs, before asking Karnak if this is why he brought them here. Karnak apologizes, and tells the Beast that is seems like his teammates could be behaving better as well. The Beast concurs, while Moon Girl points a finger at Magik and tells her that she is being such a super hero cliché right now.
Suddenly:'Enough!' Quake shouts as she uses her power to create a rumbling across the ground. 'You people started – whoa!' Boom-Boom exclaims, as the ground breaks away between the squabbling mutants and Inhumans. 'Really?' Ms Marvel asks, turning to Quake and pointing at the large hole in the ground. 'That wasn't me!' Quake exclaims. 'Get some original powers, lady!' Rictor calls out, energy circling around his hands. '#$%&#%$. Rictor' Quake mutters, rolling her eyes.
The Beast turns to the Inhumans and tells them that they have more than overstayed their welcome, and that it is time to go. 'Listen, you -' Kamala begins, pointing at the Beast, but Karnak tells her that the Beast is right. 'We're leaving?' Kamala asks, stretching her neck to Karnak, who quietly tells her 'Of course not'. Quake motions to their car and tells all of the Warriors to get into it. 'And somebody find out dinosaur' she adds.
The mutants start to board their Blackbird jet, while Quake tells Ms Marvel that she did a good job back there. 'Thanks, they were -' Kamala begins to reply, but Quake interrupts her, suggesting that, maybe next time she gets the urge to put her hands on one of the X-Men, check first to see if anyone got them to agree to help. 'I didn't -' Kamala begins, as Quake announces that she did. '$#%&$# children' Quake mutters, before informing Inferno that he is driving. The Warriors climb into the busted car, which black smoke billows from the engine. The Blackbird follows the Warriors' car and someone announces over the intercom that they will escort the Inhumans back to the border. 'Do not diverge from the route' the mutant warns the Inhumans. 'I can't believe they have a hovering pace-plane with loud-speakers and we have... this' Dante complains.
“Get some original powers” Quake mutters, quoting what Rictor said to her earlier. '$%&# you!' Quake exclaims as she leans out the car window and fires a seismic blast up at the Blackbird, knocking it out of the air, where it crashes in a fiery blaze some distance away. 'Did you just kill the X-Men?' Ms Marvel shouts at Quake. 'No... probably not. Let's go find this kid' Quake replies.
Jersey City – after the takeover:Ms Marvel looks through a wire fence at where two men wearing masks are attempting to set some explosives near a Hydra vehicle. “Lie low”. “If you want to help people...” she remembers what the Tony Stark A.I. said to her as she pulls her maks down over her face and, stretching her legs, stands over the men, 'Hiya, fellas. Can I ask what you're doing?' she calls out to them. 'Are you... are you Ms Marvel?' one of the men asks. 'Yup' Kamala tells them. Noticing that she is wearing regular clothing, one of the men asks her why she is dressed like that. Kamala explains that she wasn't planning on doing any super-heroing tonight, and that she is actually trying to lay low for a bit. 'But you're wearing a mask' one of the men points out. 'So are you' Kamala reminds him. She drops down to her normal height and remarks that she carries the mask just in case she runs into idiots with explosives. One of the men stands up and, confused, looks at her clothing and tells Ms Marvel that if she was planning ahead enough to bring the mask, then shouldn't she wear something more super-hero-y?
'Hey! It looks nice. Besides, it's not like you look so cool' Kamala snaps back. 'We're wearing all black -' one of the vigilantes points out. 'Because you're goths?' Kamala asks. 'Because we didn't want anyone to notice us' one of the vigilantes replies. Kamala tells him that it is working great, before she asks the men what they are doing. One of them motions at the Hydra trucks and explains that they are going to blow them up. Ms Marvel tells them that they seem nice, and that she gets it, but that she can't let them do that. 'Why not?' one of them asks. Ms Marvel points out that people live around here and people walk down the street – she can't let them risk hurting innocent people. 'Innocent people are getting hurt' one of the vigilantes declares. Ms Marvel tells them that this is not the way to fix it, that they have to be better than Hydra. 'We need to wait -' she begins, but one of the vigilantes interrupts, asking 'For what? You want permission to fight back?'' No, I... no' Ms Marvel replies, somewhat uncertainly, before a voice calls out 'HEY! Don't move!' and several Hydra agents appear and aim their guns at Ms Marvel and the vigilantes. 'Crap. Run!' Ms Marvel exclaims as she and the masked men flee.
New Tian – now:The Warriors stand several feet away from a small building nestled amongst some forest. 'That's it?' Ms Marvel asks. 'Yes. It's a secret lair' Karnak reports. Inferno remarks that it looks like an outhouse, to which Quake points out that sometimes that is what secret lairs look like. 'It's also what outhouses look like' Moon Girl adds. Quake looks down at Moon Girl and asks her how she found this. 'Karnak just told me -' Moon Girl replies casually, as Karnak breaks the door down, and tells his teammates that it is not an outhouse.
Climbing down a ladder, the Warriors discover a high-tech laboratory. 'This is...' Moon Girl utters as she looks around. 'Horrifying' Inferno exclaims. '... amazing' Moon Girl concludes. Quake tells Moon Girl that she is going with Inferno on this one. Ms Marvel pulls back a sheet covering a body that is laid out on a table. 'Oh my... what was this?' she gasps. 'Or who?' Quake suggests.
Suddenly: 'Oh, hello. May I help you?' the being known as the Dark Beast asks as he appears from another room. 'You run this...lab?' Quake enquires. 'I do. And I don't remember -' the Dark Beast begins, before Quake interrupts him and asks 'Where's Leer?' to which Dark Beast tells her that he has no idea what she is talking about. Quake turns to her teammates and points out that they don't have time for this. 'Grab him' she instructs them. 'Didn't we just crash this guy's plane?' Inferno asks.
'That was the other Beast. This is Dark Beast' Ms Marvel explains as she stretches an arm in an attempt to grab the Dark Beast, who dodges her attempt with ease. 'But they're, like, the same dude' Inferno remarks. 'You're basically Johnny Storm and nobody gives you a hard time' Ms Marvel tells him. 'Everyone gives me a hard time' Inferno declares as he shoots some fireballs towards the Dark Beast, who leaps over them. Inferno then tells Ms Marvel that he thought the other Beast looked like a regular guy. Quake shoots Dark Beast with some vibrations, and he falls backwards as Ms Marvel increases the size of her hand and catches him. 'That's the other, other Beast. This is other-dimension dude, not time-travel dude' Kamala explains to Dante, before she slams the Dark Beast into the ground. 'Yep. Definitely hate the X-Men' Inferno tells the other Warriors.
Quake has opened a large cell-like room, and tells Ms Marvel to put the Dark Beast in there. Ms Marvel throws him into the room, and he lands on a chair, where he tells Quake that she is a feisty one, leading this band of misfits to harass him. 'She's not our leader' Ms Marvel exclaims. Dark Beast frowns as Quake tells him that they are looking for a kid named Leer, and they were told he was here. The Dark Beast tells Quake that he isn't sure who told her that, but they lied. 'You're Fury's girl, yes? Perhaps you shouldn't be so trusting?' the Dark Beast suggests. 'I'm nobody's “girl”' Quake snaps, her hands shaking. The Dark Beast asks if that was a slight tremble he detects. 'Post-traumatic stress, or are your powers just getting away from you?' he enquires, offering to examine Quake – he is a doctor, after all.
'$%&# this. Kids, wait outside' Quake looks at Kamala, Dante and Moon Girl and points at the door. 'Excuse me?' Kamala asks. 'What do you think you're doing?' she exclaims. 'Getting answers' Quake replies. Inferno and Moon Girl leave the room, but Kamala tells Quake that this is not how they get answers. 'We're at war, Kamala. We do what it takes' Quake replies as she shoves Kamala backwards with a vibration. Karnak does nothing to intervene, and Kamala goes wide-eyed as the door closes. 'Daisy! Karnak! Don't do this!' she calls out, but it's too late. Kamala turns to Inferno and Moon Girl and asks if they are not going to try and stop this. 'What are we supposed to do? That's a reinforced steel door' Moon Girl shrugs. Inferno realizes that Quake was low-key using her powers on him. 'I feel like I'm gonna barf' he adds. The trio turn their heads to the steel door as they hear a horrible scream. 'Daisy!' Kamala calls out as she starts banging he fists on the door.
Jersey City – after the takeover.There is a knock at Khan household door during the night. Yusuf asks his daughter. 'At this hour?' Disha, Kamala's mother, enquires, looking up from her knitting. 'Nnnnope' Kamala replies. Yusuf and Kamala go to the door, and as he opens it, Yusuf asks 'Can I help you?' Two Hydra agents are standing at the door and hold up a photo of a man. One of the Hydra agents tells Yusuf that he is sorry to bother him, and explains that they are looking for this man. 'Have you seen him?' the agent asks. 'What is this about?' Yusuf enquires. One of the agents explains that this man, and at least one accomplice, attempted to attack a Hydra facility earlier tonight, and while his accomplice has been apprehended, any help they can get might save lives. Yusuf tells the agents that he doesn't know that boy. He apologizes and bids them goodnight, closing the door on them. Yusuf turns to Kamala and tells her that they are looking for the Wazir boy from down the street. 'Abu, what -' Kamala begins. Yusuf tells her that he doesn't want her going out for now, as innocent people are going to get hurt out there.
But shortly, Kamala is wearing her Ms Marvel costume and leaps across rooftops with stretched legs, eventually coming to a stop on one rooftop which looks down on a mass of Hydra agents gathered on the street below. 'Oh, boy. Found you, Hydra. But that's waaay too many of you' Kamala remarks to herself, before she sees Inferno, bound by chains and a power dampener, pulled from a building. 'That's not our guy' one of the Hydra agents remarks. 'Yerah, we lost him, but this is the consolation prize – another Inhuman'. 'You guys know I didn't do anything, right?' Dante asks before he is placed in the back of a Hydra truck. 'Funny story. Couple terrorists tried to blow up some of our trucks tonight. They got away, but left their little bomb behind. We tracked down one of them, and when we put just a little pressure on him, he squealed real good' one of the Hydra soldiers tells Inferno, who asks what that has to do with him. 'Not only did he give up his friend, he also gave up this little freakshow safe house that you were sleeping in. You guys all turn on each other eventually, you know that?' the Hydra agent declares. 'Oh, no...' Kamala utters. 'I've gotta stop this' she decides.
New Tian – now:Moon Girl, Inferno and Ms Marvel lean against a wall in the Dark Beast's lab, as Quake and Karnak emerge from the other room. 'Did you just kill him? What did you do?' Ms Marvel asks, walking over to Quake, who reports that they got information from the evil mad scientist from another dimension. 'You know what I mean!' Kamala exclaims as she walks past Quake and Karnak and enters the other room, which is shrouded in darkness, however the Dark Beast can be seen tied to a chair, and he moans. 'I do. I just don't care' Quake replies. Kamala turns back to the others and tells them that they can't just torture people. 'I can. I did. In fact. It was helpful' Karnak tells her. 'That's not the point!' Kamala exclaims.
'That's exactly the point!' Quake snaps back. 'You think I like doing this? You think I don't see it every time I close my eyes?' she asks, adding that they are a long way from right and wrong here, and no matter what happens, people are going to get hurt. She tells Kamala that if they are willing to make the tough choices, then maybe they can at least decide which people get hurt. 'Nice speech. Is that from the chapter in the Nick Fury Handbook where he betrays everyone who ever trusted him?' Kamala replies. 'You're still working on your try-out for Miss Teen Super Hero of the Year. I get it. But I'm trying to not let more people die. And if a literal monster stands in our way? I will $%#&%$# kill him myself' Quake declares. Ms Marvel stretches herself so that she is taller than Quake and asks 'What are we even doing here? We could be helping people'. She then tells Quake that she is done with her and her crusade. 'Then leave' Quake suggests.
'Ummm... guys?' Inferno calls out. 'We got company' he announces as the mutants have blown a hole in the lab and stand ready for action. Boom-Boom, Magik, Strong Guy, Rictor and Archangel have returned and brought with them Shatterstar, Forge, Sunfire, Dazzler, Warpath, Blink, and Gambit. 'I told you I didn't kill them' Quake snaps at Ms Marvel. 'I suppose you're mad that we ran off to cause trouble?' Quake asks the Beast, who replies 'That, and crashing the plane I was in'. Quake then asks him if he knew about this torture lab that was hidden in his country. 'We did not' the Beast responds. Nervously, Quake asks that she doesn't suppose them uncovering it will buy them any goodwill? The Beast points out of the lab and it tells Quake that it means she gets to leave now, under her own power and recognizance. 'And never come back' he warns her.
Soon, Inferno drives the Warriors' car once again. Smoke billows out of it, and Devil Dinosaur rides on the back of a trailer that is towed behind the car. 'That was so many X-Men. And I only recognized, like, three of them. Who was the one you sucker punched?' Inferno asks. 'I didn't... Boom-Boom' Ms Marvel sighs. 'Yeah. She's hot' Inferno smiles. 'Ew' Moon Girl exclaims, before Inferno asks 'So... did that evil version of that other dude tell us where we're going? Where's this Leer kid?' he asks as they pass a sign that indicates they are leaving New Tian. Archangel and Sunfire can be seen in the air following the Warriors, while Quake reports that Hydra took him. Inferno pauses, before asking what they do. 'I don't know...' Quake admits. Ms Marvel asks to be taken back to Jersey, but Inferno tells her not to be like that. 'Dante, if she wants to go parade around trying to be the hero New Jersey deserves, let her. We can -' Quake begins, when suddenly, their car explodes.
'Ugggh... people really need to stop messing with our car' Dante exclaims as he and the others emerge from the toppled vehicle. But as the Warriors look around, they see a large Hydra helicarrier hovering in the air, and dozens of Hydra agents moving towards them, while several of the Hydra Avengers are present, too – the Vision hovers nearby, while Scarlet Witch, Taskmaster and Deadpool stand on the fallen Devil Dinosaur. Quake frowns as she looks on the top of her car to see her father, Mr Hyde, who asks her if they can talk.

The Baxter Building:Okay, listen up, Valeria Richards announces to the rest of the Future Foundation. They know she doesn’t like to be dramatic, but they have to talk about this. And she could use terms like “countdown” and “timetable,” but she doesn’t want to do that. Because, one, she doesn’t like to cause panic. They all know studies have shown that people reason unpredictably in high pressure situations. And they need as few variables as possible right now. And, two: they’re a bunch of giant freaking babies!
But since they are also friends… and keeping the aforementioned timetable in mind, they ought to know that from this point forward she is ascribing to the theory of tough love. Like, she’s transferred the money and the package is in the mail. So, listen up dummies. She points behind her: see this clock? It says that in four days the world is ending. And the clock don’t lie. The good news is they are also done with their build… and they can finish what they are working on. Her dad, Black Panther and their other sort of smart friends will help out but they should plan on that not happening… as things are going to get pretty crazy out there in the next few days.. That’s it for the pep talk, worker bees. Any questions?
Dragon Man raises his hand. He doesn’t have to do that, Bentley-13 admonishes him. In times of stress, an orderly mind is a fortress, he is informed. Dragon Man explains that at first none of them noticed because they were all working on separate systems. For example, he was working on long time stasis, while Onome was fabricating the Vibranium tribunal hull plating, but now that they’ve started piecing everything together, it’s still a little ambiguous on what exactly they are building. It’s a ship, Val explains.
Alex Power has a question and raises his hand, causing Bentley to scoff again. It’s not just a ship, he asks. Not any kind of salvation machine or anything remotely hopeful like that. It’s a life raft. Yes, she agrees curtly. So the world is going to end in four days, he summarizes, and they are going to run. That’s the brilliant plan? And also there is only seating in that thing for maybe sixty. The Earth is gonna die and their big move is to save a few dozen people? Only the strong survive, Bentley gloats. He is taking the Bentley show on the road.
Franklin Richards’ eyes are downcast as he tries to explain that they tried.
Franklin’s narration:It started in secret with the Illuminati. When they discovered that universes were colliding, the smartest and very best of them attempted to save everyone. They tried everything to stop the incursions, like using the Infinity Gauntlet, the improbable, the impossible and eventually the unthinkable, when Namor destroyed another world to save their Earth.
It was too much and those men broke. They splintered and in their absence something worse took their place, the Cabal, led by Thanos. Everything turned upside down and inside out, including those people who had once been colleagues and friends. Instead now heroes hunted heroes. They tried as hard as they could, as anybody would. But it wasn’t enough.End of narration
The others look down, not knowing what to say. Valeria interrupts the silence. That’s right, they can’t win, so they came up with the only solution left: not losing. Which is what the raft is for. So get back to work! Or else the specially cultivated collection of scientists, engineers and builders handpicked to restart the human race won’t have a life raft to escape on. After all, it’s the only hope they have left.
Four days later:Incursion event imminent:They have only just finished but there is a new problem. They predicted that two Earths from different universes were going to collide. Which is bad enough. But the other side came to the same conclusion. Val thinks they are going to have to fight their way out of this.
The other side’s heli-carriers are in the sky and the heroes fly to fight them.

The End Times
Somewhere else:Dr. Doom, flanked by Dr. Strange and the Molecule Man, faces the almighty Beyonders.
They are Beyond, they boom. Dreamers. Destroyers. All of reality their whim. Who dares stand before them? I, Doom, comes the reply.
Manhattan, Earth1610:Incursion event imminent.At the Triskelion, this world’s SHIELD HQ General Nick Fury is in communication with Reed Richard aka the Maker. Told the world is ending, he asks if Richards thinks he’s blind. Richards says it’s ending today. Fury wants to know how long they got left.
From the City (currently housing the Cabal and residing above Manhattan), Reed Richards replies calmly that everything dies. In fact, much of what could be defined as existence already has. “Now all that remains is our universe… and theirs.” What follows, this incursion between their Earths, will begin very soon. Minutes perhaps. How long will it last? That depends on a small numbers of variables and how good Fury is at eliminating them.
Fury asks if they destroy the other Earth, will their universe survive? Is this the last one? Richards replies the City’s machines have witnessed the collapse of the once infinite multiverse. He is more sure of this than of anything else. He tells Fury to save their world one last time. Save them all. Then he ends the transmission.
Can they trust him? Hawkeye asks. Fury sighs. Reed Richard is a thousand year old megalomaniacal boy genius who wiped out most of Europe on a whim. No, they most certainly cannot. But he’s also not wrong, their job is to protect this world. So if it comes down to either world killing the other… well, that’s no choice at all. Send everything they got!
The City:Reed Richards is informed by the City computer that the Triskelion is sending all their ships to the other world. He muses that the other Earth will respond in kind and while they play he and they will be hard at work with the real matters. What’s their current estimated time of completion? Undetermined, but it figures at about an hour.
Thanos and the other members of the Cabal join him. Thanos asks why he lied to Fury. They have reached the end. There is no victory to be had. So why lie? They show them one hand and hide their objective in the other, Reed replies. They’ll fight a little harder and won’t that be fun for Thanos and his Cabal to watch? Thanos scoffs at the humans and their theatrics. There is no honor running from death. People should know when their time is up.
Manhattan, Earth 616:The incursion point between both worlds:The heroes had told the world leaders of the incursion and the coming end that morning and watched as they told their nations. The message was always the same, telling the people of the danger and urging them to remain calm. They would do everything to solve the problem. But no one believed them. How could they?
The ships from Earth 1610 are attacking and the heroes of Earth 616 fly into the Manhattan sky  to respond. Spider-Man is trying to calm the panicking crowd of people on the ground.
In the Baxter Building, the Fantastic Four, the Future Foundation and the Black Panther are building an escape vessel, a life raft to restart the human species. The Black Panther asks the Invisible Woman what the ETA on their cargo is. They are due any minute, she replies, but that was before the attacks started. She’ll check in.
She contacts Spider-Woman and the Black Widow, who are flying a vessel, asking what their status is. Transport’s still five minutes out, she is told. They had to take a longer less explosive route. How did it go? Sue asks. She is told they spent an hour literally tearing families apart. So it went exactly as expected sand nobody is taking it well. Two of the scientists changed their mind and stayed behind. They send Sue the passenger list. Among the scientists present is a grieving Beast.
Sue tells Reed they lost Doctors May and Zhang. Reed is relieved that those are specialists in chemistry and physics. They were redundancies so the group should still be okay. Let’s start the countdown.
T’Challa is preparing with the mysterious Avenger called Manifold. Two scenarios, he tells him. One: everything goes as planned, they launch with their resurrection team. Manifold teleports aboard and they are off. Two… everything goes wrong… And then he saves the day, Manifold finishes the sentence as he puts on the space suit. He tells him to turn this thing on. There isn’t much time left.
In the sky, Iron Man from Earth 1610 contacts his Nick Fury, warning him about the large number of meta-humans. Does he want to impart some of that tactical acumen he is so famous for? Overwhelming force is what’s called for, Fury replies. Just win, baby! Iron Man attacks.
Down below, buildings are destroyed. Spider-Man saves a civilian. Luke Cage and Iron Fist too try to evacuate civilians after the building fell.
The Guardians of the Galaxy’s spaceship lands nearby. Star-Lord tells Drax and Rocket Raccoon to focus on the giant robot thing in the sky. He means the tacky massive red-gold thing that basically says: “Hello, I was built by a giant tool, please, oh God please, just shoot me out of the sky?” Rocket asks. “No problem.”
The female Thor and Storm combine powers to attack the heli-carriers. Sentinels fly in to join the fight and the new Captain America asks Iceman whether they are friend or foe. Complicated question, Iceman replies. They are from Nation X. There is no telling what Cyclops has planned.
The Sentinels land. One of them carries a floating egg on which Cyclops stands. He orders them to keep everyone away for as long as they can. He needs a little more time.
More heroes attack and the heli-carriers from Earth 1610 take heavy losses. Iron Man from Earth 1610 as well loses his mobile weapon platform as he is beset by Captain Marvel and fired at by Rocket and Drax.
Several other heroes from 616 are at the Incursion site close to Triskelion and Colossus throws the Hulk at it with a fastball special. Moments later, the Hulk crashes through the Triskelion, which still manages to stand afterwards. For now, the Hulk adds.
Earth 1610In the Triskelion:Fury contacts the City. He explains they failed to secure the Incursion site on the other Earth. So Richards is just gonna have to launch his doomsday world killer weapon and hope for the best. As much as he hates to admit it, they failed.
The other heroes attack the Triskelion.
Fury tells Richards to finish the job. “Finish” implies that Fury’s task was uncompleted, Richards replies. He assures him this was always how it was going to end. Fury bought them some time, and that is remarkable for someone whose time has long ended.
The Triskelion falls and Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, Jimmy Hudson and Cloak and Dagger from Earth 1610 watch in horror.
Earth 616:Nightcrawler shouts an alert and they see a bubble engulfing the other Manhattan, a temporal bubble.
Earth 1610:The Cabal is not impressed. Namor orders Richards to do something. Richards addresses the City and announces it is time to show what secrets they hide in that dome. When it launches their doomsday weapon, send their children along to guide the way. Show these primitive people the future they could have had! Ships emerge from the dome to fly towards 616 Manhattan. Miles Morales aka Spider-Man standing on the dome holds on to one of it.
Earth 616:Medusa alerts the others to the attack. Inferno witnesses horrified as a mechanical arm goes for Black Bolt’s throat. Who are these guys? Iceman shouts. The new Captain America has no idea either.
In the meantime, the Lizard, Bullseye, Norman Osborn and more villains have received an email by the Kingpin, inviting them to a party at the end of the world celebrating their enemies’ defeat.
They celebrate until the Punisher stands in the doorway. They say that when you die you can’t take it with you, he announces. So what is he going to do with all these bullets?
The ship carrying the scientists also comes under fire. Black Widow notifies Sue Richards that they are not going to make it moments before the ship explodes.
Black Panther tells Manifold to prepare for option two. His power through the machine he is strapped into will find who they need. Energy begins to radiate in all directions from the Baxter Building.
The Sentinels alert Cyclops their shields aren’t holding for more than a minute. He will not need more, Cyclops replies. The Phoenix egg is ready to hatch. He greets it as an old friend. Remember him? Remember how this feels? It’s love, he announces as he becomes one with the energy.
The Guardians keep battling, while Drax rants that he hates Earth. Rocket agrees when he is killed by a stray shot. Gamora grieves and Star-Lord is suddenly teleported away.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Storm witness Thor being teleported away. As is Spider-Man. And Captain Marvel, who is still battling the other Iron Man, who is hitting on her.
The Baxter Building:Mr. Fantastic announces they are out of time and tells the Black Panther to cut Manifold loose. The extended family is already boarding the life raft. T’Challa explains Manifold wants to stay, believing he can still find what they need. And the life raft lifts off.
Elsewhere, in another ship: The other Reed Richards tells Thanos some call it theft but he always believed when you take something and make it better, gratitude is in order. After all, it’s not every day that you really learn something. And what lesson has the apocalypse taught him? Thanos asks. That some things refuse to die, Reed replies as everything detonates below them.
You can’t kill an idea, Cyclops/Phoenix announces as he takes to the air. It always comes back resurrected or reborn into a different form. He burns and then rematerializes on the Fantastic Four’s ship.
The Black Panther announces the planet’s structure is fracturing. This is everyone they are going to get! Reed orders everyone aboard to strap in and asks the Panther if they are going to make it. Barely, is the reply.
The ship is shaking as they make their way through the incursion. Then they are hit and the hull is breached. The carrier section with the rest of the FF and the kids is split off. The Invisible Woman surrounds them with a forcefield.
Reed asks T’Challa to drop the ship’s shield, so he can draw them back in. T’Challa warns him about the forces at play out there. He’ll only have a few seconds before the entire raft is compromised. T’Challa gets ready, announcing that it takes five seconds for the shield to go down. He can put it back immediately, but if hull integrity goes below 90 percent he has to do it.
Reed begs his wife to hold on as T’Challa counts down.
A moment before the shield goes down, Sue’s forcefield breaks. A moment later, their section splinters apart. Reed screams. Captain Marvel drags him back and orders T’Challa to get the shield back up.
The ship leaves as the two universes collide.
“You spend your entire life looking for that one perfect someone and when you find her you think you’ll never love anyone more. Then you have children and realize what a fool you were to believe that. And now I have lost everything. We have all lost everything. My entire life I believed in better days ahead. I believed in tomorrow. I hid that belief in my heart – a stronghold against a world that devours hope. But now the walls have fallen. I have been overrun. And I hope… I believe… in nothing.”
Briefly the visage of Doom superimposes itself over the nothingness.

There is only darkness.
And then the ship has landed somewhere…
