Battle Lines
Anya Corazon sits on the rooftop of her Brooklyn tenement building pondering what to do. She has just run away from government agents eager to register her as a superhuman in compliance with the newly-passed Superhuman Registration Act. She is certain that it is just a matter of time before they find her and arrest her as they have others who have refused to sign up with the government.
As she tries to decide whether to tell her papa the truth about her fledgling career as a super-heroine, he arrives on the roof with a birthday cake. She is surprised and immediately notes that her birthday isn’t until Saturday. He tells her to blow the candles out and calls her his “aranita”. Anya realizes that her father’s premature cake means he won’t be home on Saturday for her birthday and asks if this is the case. He apologizes and explains that he has an interview in Chicago. She quickly tells him that it’s okay but he feels bad since this is her sixteenth birthday. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man, who are escorted by a pair of armored “capekiller” agents.
An hour later, Gilberto Corazon is in a “waiting room” at a government facility. He angrily pounds on the wall and insists that his family has done nothing wrong and cannot simply be take and thrown into cells! Carol enters the room and Mr. Corazon recognizes her as the one who took his daughter. He is clearly upset and demands to know where they’ve taken Anya. Carol tries to assure him that she is safe and he accuses her of locking her up like an animal. Carol calmly asks him who told him that and promises that they’ve done no such thing. He realizes that he had just assumed that is what was happening. Carol tells him that she’d like to show him something and she opens a hidden window in the room that looks out over an elaborate training room. Mr. Corazon asks what this place is and Carol explains that this is where they’ve taken Anya and that they aren’t keeping her in a cell but giving her the grand tour.
Below, Araña in her fully armored form is working her way through the gymnastics equipment and having a fun time with it. Wonder Man is monitoring her as she swings about on the apparatus. She lets go of a rope and soars through the air. Wonder Man comments that she has no where to land and she promptly hurls her grappling line to ensnare a girder above her. She comments to Wonder Man that fliers are always worrying about where to land and don’t pay attention to what’s above them. She swings deftly across the room and lands on the ledge in front of the window where Ms. Marvel and her father are watching. Her father is shocked and dumbfounded.
As Wonder Man commends Araña on her performance, her father tentatively asks if that is his “arañita”. Carol puts an arm around and reassures Anya telling her that it is okay and part of why they are here. She tells her it’s something she has to do. Anya retracts her armor and tells her papa there is something they need to talk about.
Meanwhile in New Jersey, Arachne steals some clothes from a low-rent laundromat while the Shroud hotwires a nearby car. He’s having a hard time of it and comments on how years as a hero have dulled his criminal skills. She slides into the driver’s seat and hands him some clothes. She warns him that the sizes might not match up. The t-shirt she gives him reads “Dazzler World Tour” and the Shroud jokes that the fit isn’t as big a concern as living through the shame. As they drive away, the owner of the clothes and car runs after them, demanding to know what he did to deserve this.
Back at the superhuman training facility, Carol discusses the details of the registartion act with Araña and her father. She notes that since Anya has not been actively adventuring since the act was passed, she hasn’t commited any serious crimes for failing to register. Mr. Corazon tries to protest that his daughter is too young and Carol adds that there is no lower-age limit on the act and that all those with powers must be registered and properly trained. She mentions that Spider-Man was Anya’s age when he first became active.
 Mr. Corazon is still resistant and decides that if this is the case, then Anya will simply stop using these powers rather than register. He insists that they cannot make her do this. But Anya protests saying she wants to continue fighting crime. Her father tries to say she is too young to make these decisions but she insists that she is. She tells him about the masked guys who tried to rob the fast food restaurant where she works. She knows that people would have been hurt had Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man not been there. She says that she was ready to jump in to help but wasn’t really sure how to stop the thieves as well as ensure that no one got hurt. She tells him that she can promise not to use her powers but asks him what she should do when someone does something like these men did. She asks him if she should just stand by and let them (and others like them) do these terrible things even though she knows she could do something to stop them.
He looks at her and realizes just how grown up his little girl is. He tells her that perhaps she is old enough to decide for herself. He says however, that he is still her father and it is he that Ms. Marvel will have to deal with if his daughter gets hurt.
On an interstate highway, the Shroud and Arachne are off to an auspicious start to their new life as fugitives. Max encourages Julia to pull over and change out of her costume to avoid any chance of being recognized. She notes that they’re on a roll after defying the government, stealing clothes and grand theft auto in under two hours. He tells her that this hardly constitutes a “life of crime” and to try and stay positive until they are out of the country. She is surprised by this and asks what he means.
 He says that Canada is only seven hours away and once they switch cars they can be there by midday. Julia tells him that they are not leaving until they get her daughter, Rachel. Max reminds her that Rachel is in Colorado and that they can send for her once they are safe in Canada. Julia asks him if he really thinks SHIELD is going to just let them send home for their “things” like that. Julia makes it clear that she isn’t leaving the country without her daughter. He aks why she didn’t just leave for Canada right away like they talked about instead of staying and registering. Julia admits that when Tony asked her to help him round up dissenters, she saw it as a chance to help others elude the Registration Act by undermining it from inside. She was shocked when heroes chose to stand their idealistic ground instead of running. She notes that he’d be in jail now if she hadn’t helped him escape.
 He tells her that she and her daughter would be safe if she had let them capture him. She is flabbergasted and tells him that one minute he says she should have fled the country and the next suggests that she should have just let them capture him. She makes it clear that her daughter is her life and that these last few months with him have been great. She tells him he’s right and she should have just run when the Act was passed. But she didn’t, she screwed up and now she has to run. But she won’t do it without Rachel. She touches his cheek and he looks up at her lovingly and says “Then let’s go get your daughter.”
At the Stark Tower training facility, Ms. Marvel explains how Araña’s training will work. She will be allowed to live at home but will need to report in after school and al day on weekends for training.
Her explanation is interrupted by a holographic summons from Iron Man to report for an emergency briefing on a “code nine”. Anya is impressed to see the Armored Avenger and asks what the meeting is all about. Carol explains that a “code nine” is about a hero who isn’t being so heroic. Araña says she wants a holographic projector like this for her Xbox and Carol tells her it’ll cost her a decade’s salary at Chicken Cow to afford one. She tells Anya that they’ll continue her orientation tomorrow.
Araña flat out tells Ms. Marvel no and insists on joining her for the briefing since if she were fully trained she’d be included. Carol tells her that she is not yet fully trained and Anya shoots back that she’ll learn more in the meeting than she would in the cab heading home. Carol looks at Mr. Corazon and asks if she is always like this. He smirks and tells Carol that perhaps he should worry more for her than for his daughter.
Upon arriving for the meeting, Iron Man immediately protests Araña’s presence. Carol says that she wants Anya to understand fully what she is training for now that she’s signed on. Wonder Man cheerily welcomes her aboard and Iron Man makes it clear to Carol that the girl is her responsibility. Carol says that she never said she wouldn’t be.
 Iron Man introduces SHIELD Agent Owen who informs them that Arachne has gone rogue. He details her involvement in tipping off the Prowler to his impending arrest and in helping the Shroud to escape. He adds that the pair stole a car an hour ago. Their getaway vehicle has been spotted in Pennsylvania and they have approval to take them down. Iron Man assigns Carol and Simon to apprehend them with capekiller backup.
A short time later, Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man are ready to dive into action from an assault copter. Araña is there as an observer, a fact that Carol reiterates several times. Anya tells her once more that she has some experience and has fought evil wizards, speedsters and teamed up with Spider-Man. Carol says that’s good and tells her once more to stay put.
 Carol and Simon strategize momentarily before swooping into action. Just before they spring into action, the Shroud spots them in the rearview mirror. He tells Arachne to drive faster as Ms. Marvel flies on the driver’s side with Wonder Man moving to the opposite side of the vehicle. Arachne turns the wheel sharply, squeezing Ms. Marvel between the car door and the center divider and dragging her painfully along. The car slams into the divider and Carol is thrown forward.
 Wonder Man says that’s enough as he rips the passenger door off and flings it aside. The Shroud hits him with a blast of Darkforce which drives him away in pain. Wonder Man manages to grab the Shroud and pull him from the vehicle. He slams his head into the pavement as “capekillers” converge to subdue him.
 Ms. Marvel rises and vows that if Arachne wants to play dirty, then she’ll play dirty. She zooms off after Julia and handily catches the speedng vehicle. She rips the front tire off causing the car to flip over. She then catches the car (with some help from Wonder Man before it can collide with a passing semi. Arachne manages to jump from the vehicle onto the roof of the semi and make her escape. Wonder Man and Ms. Marvel didn’t manage to see this and in the aftermath vow to find her noting that she can’t run forever. Julia clings to the top of the truck, a worried look upon her face.

For the Best
In Avengers Tower, Wonder Man and Araña observe as Ms. Marvel interrogates the Shroud, the latest superhuman to be detained for violating the Superhuman Registration Act. The Shroud is restrained by a device that neutralizes his powers. Araña asks Wonder Man if this is normal and he replies that it’s “new”. She persists and asks again if it’s normal and he says simply that things are different now, something Araña has been hearing a lot lately.
Carol continues her questioning of the Shroud who tells her flat out that he knows they’re going after Julia regardless of what he tells them. Ms. Marvel tells him that this is true but that she still wants to know how Julia went from being in a wheelchair and powerless to operating at full capacity again.
 The Shroud explains that his company’s labs were able to recreate the spider-serum that originally gave Julia her powers. He tells Carol how Julia was unable to walk even after she had fully recovered from her injuries. The serum he provided eventually kicked in and she regained her powers. He assisted her through weeks of physical therapy until she could walk again. Through this, they fell in love and she was able to return to the life she had before with her daughter, Rachel.
 The Shroud asks Carol how she can hunt down a friend, one of her fellow Avengers,  like some kind of animal. Carol replies that Captain America was an Avenger too and someone she loved like a father but that both of them have crossed the line.
He tells Carol he’s surprised at how far gone she is, how willing she is to just jump at the government’s commands and hunt down people she knows and respects. He calls them her “keepers”.
Hearing this rattles Araña who can’t help but question if Carol is really doing the right thing. Carol tells Shroud that Julia did wrong and he asks if she thinks she’s doing “right”. Carol replies that she’s doing “what’s best” and the Shroud points out that “what’s best” and “what’s right” are not always the same thing. He explains that what’s best can change from day to day but what’s right is absolute. He tells her that the road she ‘s on is the wrong one and that she’s been sucked into the hysteria gripping the nation following Stamford and it’s turned her into a thug where she was once one of the good guys.
 Carol asks if Julia is one of the “good guys” and points out that she put a dozen SHIELD agents in the hospital. She adds that Julia also slammed her into a guardrail at 100 miles per hour while breaking the law and aiding others in doing so. She tells the Shroud that Julia endangered innocents and disgraced the name of the Avengers. Ms. Marvel sees it as her obligation to take her down, her duty as a hero and her pleasure to do so as an Avenger. Anya listens to this declaration but seems unconvinced by Carol’s vehement argument.
A short time later, Walter Cornwall is checking the mail at his home in Denver, Colorado. He is unaware that a team of SHIELD agents led by Ms. Marvel is about to descend on his home because of his fugitive daughter, Julia Carpenter. In the lead assault copter, Ms. Marvel briefs Araña on the battle plan for her first combat situation since registering. She reminds Anya that she is to follow her orders and her orders only and to do what she says, when she says it. Araña agrees.
 Carol makes it clear that their objective is simply to get Mr. and Mrs. Cornwall and their granddaughter, Rachel Carpenter to safety before Julia arrives there, in case there’s any trouble. Araña asks if they’re expecting trouble and Wonder Man tells her to always expect trouble so that it doesn’t surprise her.
As the copters descend on the Cornwall home, Walter makes a run for the front door. Wonder Man heads him off as Carol lands nearby. SHIELD agents descend on ropes to the roof as Carol introduces herself. Mr. Cornwall says he knows who she is and tries to tell them that Julia is in New York. Simon says that she isn’t there now and Carol tries to explain that they just want to get his family to safety before Arachne gets there.
Julia’s mother overhears this and rushes upstairs where Julia and Rachel are packing to leave for Canada. Her mother tells her there’s trouble and Julia replies that she heard the helicopters. Her mother tells her there are more than just helicopters and asks Julia to let her take Rachel downstairs so that the federal agents can take them somewhere safe. Julia insists that Rachel is safe with her but her mother is scared to death. Arachne tells her mother that there’s something she has to do.
Downstairs, Carol tells Mr. Cornwall that Julia is responsible for some serious crimes and injuring good people. She clarifies to him that their presence there is not simply about enforcing the registration act.
 As she says this, Arachne emerges from the house with Rachel. She tells Carol this needs to end now and that she’s taking Rachel and leaving the country. Carol tells her that it is too late for that. Arachne insists that she’s leaving and says she’s not doing the super-hero thing anymore, she just wants to leave. She begs Carol to let her just walk away. Carol tells Julia that she broke the law and put people into the hospital. She tells Julia to step away from the car.
 Instead, Julia kisses her daughter and tells her she loves her before shoving her into the car. Rachel cries out to her mother as she turns to confront Ms. Marvel.
Carol asks Arachne if she really thought they would just let her go. Julia says she didn’t and Carol asks her why she brought Rachel out and didn’t just surrender. Julia tells Carol that her daughter has to grow up someday, learn the difference between right and wrong and see that some things are worth fighting for.
 She then punches Carol in the face and leaps into the sky. Simon takes off after her. Carol rubs her jaw as she orders Araña to get in the car and keep Rachel safe. Araña hesitates and Carol barks at her to do it now. Araña gets into the backseat with Rachel who is frightened by Araña’s insect-like carapace. Araña tries to explain that she’s just there to keep Rachel safe but the young girl darts out of the car in fear.
 Arachne kicks Wonder Man in mid-air and lands on the roof of her parents’ house. She starts to fling pieces of the roof at SHIELD agents. Ms. Marvel flies up to where she is and calls out to her before slamming her through the roof with a kick. Carol powers up her energy blasts and orders Arachne to stay down. She lunges at Ms. Marvel, driving them both through a window. She grabs Carol by the hair and as she punches her face asks why she can’t see what’s happening here and how wrong all this is.
 Carol lashes out at Julia repeating her order to stay down. She drives Arachne through the wall and crashing into two SHIELD agents outside.
 Rachel cries out and rushes over to her mother who is stunned. A SHIELD agent pulls Rachel away as Julia comes to. She tells them to let her go as the SHIELD agents pull the two apart. Rachel and Julia call out to each other as the SHIELD agents arrest Julia. Rachel screams “Mommy!” over and over again.
Wonder Man, Araña and Ms. Marvel watch and each have a somewhat different reaction. Simon looks angry, Anya upset and shaken and Carol detached and concerned.
Later that night, Carol talks with Anya on the roof of Avengers Tower. Anya asks if this is what good guys do: take kids away from their moms. She tells Carol that she doesn’t want any part of it, if that’s the case. She goes so far to say that she’ll leave the country or try and find a way to remove her powers before she’ll ever do anything like that again. Araña tells Carol that she wants to help people and do what’s right and that what they did today was wrong.
Carol tells her that it wasn’t wrong, it was just hard. Anya explains that she lost her own mother at a young age and just can’t be part of that happening to anyone else. She starts to cry and Carol comforts her.
Later that night, Carol seeks out Simon to talk through her own emotions about what happened earlier. She admits to him that she isn’t sure what she did earlier or how it was so easy for her to say that what they did was for the best. He tries to tell her they did what they had to do and that Julia did break the law and hurt people. He says that they wouldn’t let someone else get away with that so why should they let Arachne.
At that moment, Arachne is angrily crying in her cell and her daughter is crying as well as she wonders what will happen to her mother.
Carol sees Simon’s logic but can’t help but feel for Rachel. She realizes that no matter what she does, to Rachel she’ll always be the person who took her mother away from her. Carol starts to cry a bit and Simon asks how Araña is taking all this. Carol says that she’s shook up but that she thinks she’ll make it through. Simon runs his hand through Carol’s hair and pulls her to his shoulder as he tells her that they’ll all make it through. She leans on his shoulders and finds some reassurance and comfort.
A week later, Carol returns to her apartment and is relieved to find that there are no shocking surprises awaiting her this time. Her relief is shattered when she hears a noise in the kitchen. She hopes it might just be her new cat, Chewie until she hears the fridge slam shut.
 She enters the darkened kitchen and is immediately grabbed by someone who swiftly drags her back towards the living room. She changes into her costume as she asks who’s there and tells them to hold it. She manages to grab the intruder and throw them into the living room. She repeats the question “Who are you?” as she turns on the living room light. She recognizes the woman immediately! It’s Rogue! She asks what she’s doing there and the X-Man tells her that they have a problem and they’re going to solve it… together!

Doppelganger
A bewildered Ms. Marvel stands her ground and asks Rogue what she’s doing in her apartment. Carol recalls the tense history between her and the southern X-Man but acknowledges that they’ve come to terms with their issues though she’d hardly call them friends.
Rogue asks if Ms. Marvel changed her costume when she wasn’t looking and Carol is perplexed by this comment. She asks Rogue what she means and she describes Carol’s previous costume with the shoulder pads and padded armor.
Ms. Marvel starts to explain that she hasn’t worn that uniform in a while but Rogue cuts her off and says there’s not need to fight if they can sort things out rationally. She makes it clear that if Carol makes a wrong move, she’ll burn her. To drive home her point, Rogue bursts into flames.
Carol raises her hands and switches out of her costume and into street clothes. She asks Rogue what’s going on and when she started catching on fire. Rogue tells her that it’s a long story and says that maybe first Carol could explain why she attacked her. Carol is clearly confused by this and asks if it’s a joke of some sort. She then asks how Rogue got into her apartment.
 Rogue raises up a set of keys with an Avengers keychain and tells Carol she used her keys. Carol reaches into her pocket and produces an identical set as she tells Rogue that she has her keys on her. She then asks where Rogue got the duplicate. Rogue is stymied and asks Carol to hang on while she checks something. She heads down the hall to Carol’s bedroom. Carol asks what in her bedroom Rogue might need to see. Rogue enters and is shocked by what she sees. Asleep on the bed is another Carol Danvers. Carol enters and is just as surprised as Rogue was. Rogue asks the obvious question: “Who is she?”
Carol repeats the question and wonders where she came from. Rogue replies that until a moment ago, she thought this was the real Carol Danvers. She explains that the woman on the bed attacked her downtown. Rogue thought that she was the real deal and under somebody’s control or something, so she subdued her and brought her home in the hopes she could figure out what was wrong with her.
 As Rogue explains this, Carol leans over to get a closer look at her mysterious “twin”. At that moment, she makes up and is startled to see her own face looking down at her. She leaps onto the bed and changes into her costume: the militaristic uniform Carol during the later part of her Warbird phase. Carol changes into her current costume as well. The doppelganger frantically asks what’s going on. Carol tries to calm her so they can figure things out.
 But then the newcomer spots Rogue and anger flashes across her face as she ignites her energy powers. Lances of photonic energy spring forth from her hands and her eyes glow wickedly, as “Warbird” asks if the two are working together.
 Ms. Marvel tells Rogue to get out of there but Rogue ignores the request and ignites her flame form as she tells Ms. Marvel that she can handle this. Carol tells her “No!” and explains that she just had the place rebuilt after the last battle that followed her home. Warbird takes the initiative and charges Rogue, forcing both women to go crashing through the wall of Carol’s bedroom and over the balcony outside. Ms. Marvel is dismayed as this is exactly what she had hoped to avoid.
Ms. Marvel flies after Rogue and Warbird who are trading blows as they fall to the ground. Warbird tells Rogue that she’s dreamed of killing her and unleashes a pair of energy bolts from her eyes. Rogue slams into a sidewalk café, upsetting the tables and chairs and sending its patrons fleeing from the battle.
 As Warbird swoops down, Rogue hits her with a plasma blast which sends the woman through a wall and into the restaurant’s kitchen.
 Ms. Marvel arrives on the scene and asks Rogue if she’s okay. Rogue tells her she’s fine but the same can’t be said for the restaurant. A handsome man in a suit arrives and tells them to take this out of his building. He then sees Ms. Marvel and is stunned speechless by the sight of her. He stammers as Carol tries to apologize. He mentions his insurance rates and the two share a moment of obvious attraction before Warbird comes to and resumes her attack on Rogue.
 Carol tells the man that she should go help and he agrees and suggests they discuss his insurance situation later. Ms. Marvel says that would be nice before moving to stop her deranged doppelganger. Rogue punches Warbird, who returns the blow with another blast of energy from her eyes. This drives Rogue into a parked car and dazes her momentarily. Ms. Marvel grabs a parked car herself and hurls it at Warbird. She yells out “Catch!” as the car slams into her unsuspecting twin and knocks her unconscious.
Ms. Marvel lands gracefully near Rogue and notes that that could have gone better. Rogue adds that she warned Carol that her doppelganger was mean. Carol checks on her mystery twin as she tells Rogue that she’s going to call Hank to see if he can help figure out where her double came from. Rogue is surprised to hear that Carol would call the Beast and asks why she doesn’t take her to the Avengers.
 She informs Rogue that there isn’t much of an Avengers team at the moment. Rogue places her hand on Ms. Marvel’s shoulder and tells her that “Warbird” here clearly hates her because of what she did to Carol way back when she ran with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. She tells Carol that there’s nothing in her life that she’s sorrier about than what happened between them. She says that she feels she has to try and help in some way as she picks Warbird up, insisting on carrying her herself.
At the Xavier Institute, Beast runs some tests on the mysterious Warbird. Carol is relieved to hear that Warbird is not a clone but a temporally displaced version of her. Carol asks him if he’s sure and he feigns offense at being questioned by “the divine Ms. M”. Hank suggests updating his medical files on Carol while she’s there and immediately notes something strange. The readout shows some kind of anomaly in Carol’s head but the reading quickly changes to normal. Hank wonders aloud if it’s some kind of software glitch or something more concerning but realizes he’ll have to figure it out later. Carol asks how they’re going to get Warbird here home.
At that moment, she wakes up and is immediately ready to take out whoever smacked her with a car. Ms. Marvel apologizes for that but Warbird is more concerned with Rogue. Anger flares in her eyes as she changes once more into her fighting togs. She accuses them of working together as she ignites the energy lances from her hands that she manifested earlier.
 Hank steps in and tells her that there’ll be no fighting here. She asks who he’s supposed to be which confirms for those present that she originates from an alternate reality.  Ms. Marvel asks if her name is Carol and she replies that her name is Warbird. Carol replies that she goes by Ms. Marvel and Warbird responds that that name is weak. Ms. Marvel responds that she thought that once too, but realizes now that it carries a lot of history and responsibility. She explains to Warbird that something has displaced her from her proper place.
Hank notes that there are clearly some shared aspects to their histories and mentions Rogue, which again sends Warbird into a rage. Rogue tells her that she’d never met her before. Warbird asks about this “shared history” she has with Ms. Marvel and wonders how she could possibly fight alongside Rogue if their lives truly are parallel. Ms. Marvel replies that it was a long time and she’s gotten over it and moved on. Warbird asks how you ever get over something like that. Carol tries to calm Warbird down and asks her to tell her about herself and where she’s from.
Warbird recounts her history with Rogue. She explains how she was living in San Francisco when Rogue attacked her out of the blue. Their battle took them to the Golden Gate Bridge where Rogue permanently absorbed her powers and personality. Carol confirms that the same thing happened to her.
 Warbird continues, sharing how Professor Xavier helped to restore her mind. Despite the years that had passed, she still felt dirty because of this. This led her to take the name Warbird and change her costume. She also began drinking but nothing seemed to help her move on.
 Warbird stops her tale and asks those present if Spaulding, Georgia holds any special significance to them, since the Avengers were heading for there the night before. Hank is surprised to hear her say that it was only last night. Warbird notes that she was busy and couldn’t respond to the alien disturbance that the team was dealing with there. She says she knows that the team made it there and called her for back-up but doesn’t share what she was really doing: drinking.
When her Avengers communicator sounded, she simply said “Sounds like the world needs saving. Somebody oughta get right on that.” She didn’t recall what happened next but as she was stumbling from the bar she was hit by a destructive wave of energy.
Beast notes that this explains a great deal about Warbird’s presence and theorizes that Warbird absorbed some of the energy discharge from Spaulding and this is what propelled her into a different reality. He suspects that she’s been temporally adrift given that the incident in Spaulding occurred several weeks ago.
 Rogue asks how they get her home and Hank replies that in all likelihood, her home planet was destroyed in the blast from Spaulding. Warbird looks to Ms. Marvel and then asks if they stopped it from happening here. Carol is clearly furious as she tells Warbird that she managed to avert this disaster single-handedly. She lays into Warbird, saying that she got off her bar stool and did her job. She acknowledges that she tried to drink her woes away for a while but then she stopped and “grew the hell up”.
 Warbird takes offense to this but Carol does not relent. She adds that she’s been beating herself up lately for not doing all that she could be doing and wasting her potential. Rogue tries to interrupt but Carol will have none of it. She continues to deride Warbird who warns her to be careful about what she says next.
Carol gets in Warbird’s face and tells her that she sickens her. This brings the two women to immediate blows, as Ms. Marvel tells her “twin” that she’s everything that she’s fought not to be.
 Warbird in turn rails at Ms. Marvel for forgiving Rogue for what she did to them. They both fire energy blasts at each other. This creates some kind of feedback which knocks both women out. Their costumes disappear as they fall from the sky and slam into the ground hard. Beast and Rogue rush out to check on them. Beast takes Carol’s pulse and replies “Oh no.”

Your Own Worst Enemy
Carol Danvers lies lifeless on the grounds of the Xavier Institute following a vicious conflict with a crazed otherdimensional counterpart calling herself Warbird. The Beast tries desperately to revive her with CPR as Rogue watches worriedly.
 In Carol’s mind, she sees a bright light. Voices speak to each other, noting that there are difficulties and her heart has stopped. Carol can hear the voices and wonders what is happening. The voices say that they’ve come too far to lose her now and Carol suddenly begins to breathe again.
The Beast and Rogue are relieved to see her gasping for breath and returning to life. Warbird revives as well and looms over them, fully powered. She tells Carol that she’s going to have to do better than that and to get up. She lashes out with her energy lance and yells out “DIE!” as she strikes. Rogue grabs Carol and flies her out of harm’s way. Carol thanks her but tells her she’s got it now. Rogue tries to tell her she shouldn’t, but Carol angrily insists that she will handle it.
She walks towards Warbird and apologizes for losing her temper. Warbird shoots energy at Carol from her eyes and asks if this is how she settles her fights. Carol dodges the beams and punches Warbird in the face, having only apologized in order to catch her breath and get closer to Warbird. Carol dodges Warbird’s counterattack and suggests that either she’s acting this way due to being knocked unconscious so many times recently or she’s just not very bright.
 Carol lands another punch to the jaw and tries to convince Warbird to settle down given what happened when they fought earlier using their photonic energies. Warbird asks if Carol thinks she needs photons to defeat her. Carol looks directly into Warbird’s eyes and coolly replies that she’s sure that Warbird is quite capable. She then decks Carol, knocking her off her feet. Now both women are fighting mad at each other as Warbird lunges at Carol.
Rogue asks the Beast what they should do and he suggests separating them and jokingly adds that allowing them to duke it out could advance the field of psychiatry a great deal.
Carol again outmaneuvers Warbird, using her own momentum to drive her into the wall of the mansion. She tells her counterpart that they could probably go at this for hours and both would enjoy it. Warbird tells her “Damn straight!” as she dives at Carol’s legs and forces her once more to the ground.
Rogue has seen enough and ignites her plasma powers. She flies down just as Warbird knocks Carol away with a punch. Rogue comes between them and unleashes a fiery blast at Warbird, who absorbs it and tells Rogue that it tickles.
 Hank joins the fray and Warbird blasts him with her eyebeams. Beast lands next to Carol and comments on how much that hurt. Carol is upset that Rogue is getting in the middle of this. Warbird on the other hand sees it as a chance to kill the Southern X-Man and takes her by the throat. Carol dives in once more to save Rogue, tackling Warbird and driving her to the ground. Warbird manages to get to her feet and flings Carol directly into Rogue.
Carol rises and tells Rogue once more to stay out of the way. When Rogue tries to tell her that she looks like she could use help, Carol kicks Rogue in the ribs and tells her to shut up. Carol begins to go off on Rogue, telling her this is all her fault since she’s the one that Warbird came to kill. She adds that Warbird isn’t stupid enough to pretend to have forgiven Rogue the way she has.
 Warbird approaches Carol and tells her that she’s visited dozens of realities in the last several weeks and in each of them Rogue had tried to kill Carol Danvers and that she balanced the scales in each. Carol asks if she killed all those versions of Rogue and Warbird smiles and says that she took revenge and set things right. She goads Carol into helping her kill this Rogue as well.
Carol transforms into Ms. Marvel and tells Warbird that that’s a good idea. Carol adds, “Setting things right, I mean,” as she backhands Warbird and sends her flying into the woods beyond the mansion. She pursues Warbird who is ticked off and asks her just how many Rogues she’s killed.  Warbird happily reports that she’s killed dozens and Ms. Marvel declares that her killing stops here and not one more Rogue will die at her hands.
 She strikes once more but Warbird rolls clear. She tells Ms. Marvel that this isn’t the first world where Carol has defended Rogue or the first where she’s had to kill them both. Warbird attacks with her photon lances and Ms. Marvel reminds her what happened the last time their energies crossed. Warbird replies that she was a bit woozy while Carol almost died. She says that those odds work for her as she presses her assault. Carol is only momentarily dazed and realizes that the fatal feedback only occurs when both use their energy powers simultaneously.
Ms. Marvel takes a moment to catch her breath but Warbird kicks her while she’s down. Warbird asks what is wrong with “all of you” and demands to know why on world after world Carol Danvers manages to forgive Rogue. She notes that on some worlds they are teammates, even close friends.
Ms. Marvel asks Warbird if she’s really killed other Carols and Warbird states that on every world she’s visited she’s killed a version of Rogue and Carol Danvers. Once she kills them, she is transported to another world and intent on doing the same thing here. She tells Carol that she’s beginning to think it’s the Lord’s will, otherwise why would she never be given a chance to rest. Warbird blasts again at Ms. Marvel with her eyebeams and says that once she’s finished her off, she’ll go back and kill Rogue.
 Carol asks about Warbird’s early offer to join her and Warbird says that she wanted to know if Carol had the guts to finally take revenge on Rogue. She adds that Carol went further than any other Carol Danvers that she’s met so far and she almost thought she might actually kill Rogue. Ms. Marvel flies straight at Warbird, grabbing her in mid-air by the hair. She tells Warbird that if killing her is the only way that she can leave this reality, then she’s not leaving this world alive. That said, Carol unleashes a massive photon burst right at Warbird head.
 Warbird falls to the ground, her hair burned away and her face singed. She lands hard and Ms. Marvel hovers down over her. She realizes that she may have killed her and is afraid for a moment. She then realizes that maybe she should kill her now while she has the chance. This thought scares Ms. Marvel even more.
Half an hour later, O*N*E troops arrive to collect the unconscious Warbird. The medics report that she’s stabilized and place her in a containment unit. The commanding officer offers to update Ms. Marvel on Warbird’s condition but Carol tells him that won’t be necessary. As Ms. Marvel leaves the scene, Warbird regains consciousness and tells her weakly to come back and finish her off.
Carol returns to the Xavier Institute to watch over Rogue who is stable after Carol broke her ribs. Carol realizes that she didn’t mean what she said earlier about pretending to forgive Rogue. She asks herself why she did what she did to Rogue and realizes that she was defending herself from Rogue…even though that “self” ended up being a psychotic alternate reality version of Carol Danvers. As she ponders this, the Beast arrives and tells Carol that Rogue will be fine in a few days but he doesn’t think Carol should be here right now. Carol begins to explain herself but Hank cuts her off and firmly repeats that she needs to go.
Ms. Marvel soars away from the mansion, thinking to herself that once this place was her home. She thinks of the dark places she’s been and appreciates that she’s survived them all. She says that she tries to believe that she’s a good person. Her flight takes her to the edge of space and she looks into the cosmos with wide-eyed appreciation. She remembers that the last time she ran away, it was into space and she lingered there for a while. She thinks how much she loves space, its beauty and peace. Seeing it this close makes her want to scream. She does with the full force of her pain and anguish. She wipes away her tears and remembers that one of the things about space is that there’s nobody out there which makes it easy to forget what makes you human. Despite its beauty, space is a place she runs away to.  As she descends towards Earth she vows that she’s never going to run away from anything ever again.

Doomsday Man
Carol Danvers makes her way through the repair work being done by Damage Control outside of Café Brioche, which was heavily damaged during her battle with her deranged, extra-dimensional counterpart Warbird. She feels a bit nervous about meeting the handsome restaurant owner that she had a brief flirtation with during the battle. She admits to herself that there was a definite spark and that she’s excited at the prospect of dating a man who doesn’t wear tights.
 She enters the construction zone and interrupts a conversation between her new romantic interest and the contractor. He’s clearly pleased to see her and says that he wasn’t sure if she’d come back or not. She notes that he mentioned some insurance issues and he confesses that he made that up so that he could see her again. Carol replies that she figured as much but came anyway.
 She asks his name and he introduces himself as William Wagner. She introduces herself and he admits to knowing who she is but quickly makes it clear that that’s not why he’s interested in her. He fumbles over his words and asks if he can start over. Carol suggests lunch and he tells her he has to stay to oversee the re-building. She suggests they just whip something up and he confesses he can’t cook…part of why he owns a restaurant. Carol gives him her cell phone number and suggests he calls when he’s free. She’s convinced he’s blowing her off until he suggests meeting up later that night. Carol leaves the restaurant content with how that went and eager for a bit of normalcy amidst the chaos and drama in her life.
Underfoot, deep underground something sinister lurks. In a hidden AIM base under the sewers of Manhattan an old foe of Ms. Marvel stews and plots. Two AIM agents visit the villain who is in stasis. As they walk the corridors, an unheard voice speaks of its desire to kill Ms. Marvel.
 They view a monitor which indicates that he’s dreaming of revenge against Ms. Marvel, who was responsible for his latest defeat. The AIM agents are nervous around the Doomsday Man who is currently on nothing but life support. They’ve heard stories about him. One agent explains to the other how there’s a man that is merged with the robotic Doomsday Man. He decides to check on him and opens the suit to reveal the withering body of Kerwin Korman.
  The agent explains that Korman is in a vegetative state these days. He continues to expound on the unique merging of Korman and the Doomsday Man robot and the special abilities this gives them. Together, they have all the advantages of a computer with a human’s ability to improvise, which would make them a deadly opponent. The newbie agent asks why they don’t use him then to which his partner replies that no one knows how they’d get him back in the box once they let him out.
At that moment, the AIM agent is showered by sparks from his console. He is surprised to see the Doomsday Man robot powering up and the readouts indicate that Kerwin Korman is waking up. As he says this, his partner begins to run. The Doomsday Man breaks free. The voice of Kerwin Korman demands to know why he is still alive when he begs and prays for death. The remaining AIM agent scurries away in fear as the powerful robotic form springs to life. Within the armor, the essence of Kerwin Korman “converses” with his mechanical counterpart. It demands a situation report and Kerwin tells it that he is in charge of their body for a change and he’s about to kill a large number of people. He is then going to find Ms. Marvel and slowly kill her for trapping him in this form and leaving him to rot for the last few years. A team of AIM agents try in vain to stop the Doomsday Man.
Meanwhile, Carol Danvers is enjoying a “normal” night out with her new love interest, William Wagner. They enjoy some small talk as they get to know each other. She tells him about her time in the Air Force and how she earned the call-sign “Cheeseburger”. She explains that they don’t get cool call-signs like you hear in movies like Maverick and Ice Man. Instead, they get embarrassing and humanizing call signs that remind them that they aren’t killing machine. She earned hers due to what she had for lunch before her first time in a G-force flight simulator. She ended up puking her guts out and earning her call sign “Cheeseburger”.
 William is gracious, charming and interested. Carol thinks to herself how great things are going and is relieved that he hasn’t asked about her powers or the Avengers or anything related to her life as a heroine. Instead, it’s just the two of them getting to know each other like normal people would on a first date.
The date continues to go well and the two make their way to Carol’s apartment. They are making out pretty passionately as they fumble into the apartment. Their kissing is interrupted by a crash and burst of light.
Carol changes into her costume as she goes to the window to see what’s going on. She finds Araña on her balcony with an unconscious AIM agent. Araña tells her that she caught this guy snooping around on her balcony. She then spots William, whose shirt is unbuttoned and asks who he is.
 Carol turns and tells William that she’ll call him later. He takes it in stride and she apologizes. He is appropriately understanding of the situation and asks that she call him later to let him know that she’s okay.
She turns to Anya to find out why she is there to begin with. Araña tells Ms. Marvel that they were supposed to go out on patrol. Carol apologizes to Anya for forgetting and explains that she had other things on her mind. Rather than head out on patrol, Carol turns her attention to the AIM agent that Anya subdued.
 Ms. Marvel tells Araña that this is an agent of AIM, a terrorist group of scientists who develop technology for criminal purposes. She tells Anya to try his headgear on. When she does so, she sees a virtual interface with multiple screens. As she looks at Ms. Marvel, she gets a read-out of information on her that includes her real name and address. Anya is suitably impressed with the technology.
 As Carol searches the AIM agent for weapons, she realizes he’s unarmed and naked under the bright yellow jumpsuit. The man wakes up and Anya asks if his name is Sean as the screen in his suit indicated. He mentions the Doomsday Man immediately and Carol explains that the Doomsday Man is a powerful robotic foe that she defeated a few years back.
Sean, the AIM agent, tells them that the Doomsday Man is awake. Ms. Marvel tells him that she last saw Doomsday Man when she and the Avengers defeated him. At the time, Kerwin Korman had been merged with the killer robot and was near death. She notes that the Avengers had him transported to a hospital. The AIM agent explains that AIM intercepted the robot… and Korman, from the hospital in order to study their uniquely merged body and consciousness in the hopes of replicating the results. AIM’s science teams failed to unlock the secret of the newly-formed Doomsday Man and placed him in storage.
Sean explains that he’s only been with AIM for a few months and has only heard stories. But when he went down to see the Doomsday Man himself he noticed that Korman was dreaming. The next thing he knew, the robot was loose.
 Araña asks why he came here and Ms. Marvel adds that AIM must have protocols for dealing with this sort of thing. Sean explains that the Doomsday Man is loose in their storage facility and it dawns on Carol that other dangerous things might be stored there. The AIM agent confirms this and adds that some are worse than the Doomsday Man. Ms. Marvel demands the location and he tells her that it’s close, an old warehouse at the north end of town. As he says this, he disappears in a flash of teleportational energy. Araña notes that the whole thing sounds like a trap to her and Carol has to agree with her young protégé’s instincts.
As the pair of heroines makes their way to the AIM facility, the Doomsday Man is wreaking havoc. Korman demands broader access to the Doomsday Man’s systems and when it refuses is able to force his way into AIM’s networks. He explains that despite the power of their body, Ms. Marvel has defeated them twice. He needs something more to gain his revenge. In the databases, he finds something that he thinks will tip the scales in their favor.
 From a rooftop, Ms. Marvel and Araña survey the area and see the mass exodus of AIM agents. Carol gives Anya her cell phone and tells her to call a special number if she isn’t out in five minutes. Araña wants to help but Carol impresses upon her how deadly the Doomsday Man is and that last time it took a whole team of Avengers to put it down. Anya asks who it is she’s calling and Carol tells her it’s Tony Stark. Araña is a tad uncomfortable with this but Carol doesn’t give her any choice.
 She flies to the ground and grabs a fleeing AIM agent. She asks where the Doomsday Man is and the frightened terrorist tells her he’s on the third sublevel. The Doomsday Man stalks over the fallen bodies of the AIM agents on that level and makes his way to a containment unit marked TARGOTHS. As the Targoths begin to awake, Ms. Marvel crashes through the ceiling.
 Doomsday Man thanks her for saving him the trouble of locating her. He identifies himself as Kerwin Korman and asks if she remembers him. As he confronts her, the facility’s alert system announces that the Targoths containment has been breached and initiates an evacuation protocol due to the high possibility of infection that the Targoths present. As the Targoths surround Carol, the Doomsday Man powers up to discuss all the pain that she’s caused him over the years.

Binary
Inside a New York public library, a young boy named Gavin and his friend Rich pick out a book to read. Rich selects a science fiction novel called “Binary” written by Carol Danvers. On the cover is a picture of Carol Danvers in her cosmically-powered Binary form. He presents it to Gavin who is unsure of the choice since they just “read” a sci-fi novel the day before. Rich argues that they should do this one because the girl on the cover is hot. Gavin reluctantly agrees, his eyes glowing with bluish energy that runs up his bald head and seems to course through the jagged scar that runs from his right eye to the back of his head.
He tells Rich to give him the book and that he knows a chapter that might be good for this. Rich looks around to make sure the coast is clear as Gavin leafs through the pages. There are not many people in the library as they sit down to begin the chapter Gavin has selected. He begins to read aloud and his words take on a distinctly unique quality.
The chapter of “Binary” that Gavin begins reading details a period of Binary’s life when she had left the Starjammers and wandered the universe on her own in search of new adventures.
the story:Despite the grandeur of space, she had lost those moments that made her feel “human” in the depths of space. She didn’t need to sleep or eat and had chosen to leave the daily companionship of her shipmates behind. The cosmos was her home and she found a cold comfort in the void. After months alone in space, Binary was called to be a telepathic voice in a strange and alien tongue. She followed it to its source for days.
reality:Gavin pauses for a moment to ask Rich if it’s working. Rich encourages him to keep reading. As he does so, his words seem to permeate the area in a powerful way. A librarian nearby is shelving books but when she hears Gavin’s words, her eyes glaze over and she is enthralled.
the story:Binary comes to the center of the known galaxy and discovers an immense cosmic entity called the Keeper. She speaks to the being, telling him that she does not understand. Instantly he shifts his telepathic message into English. He tells Binary of his race, the Keepers and how they need her help as they are coming to an end. The Keepers had witnessed the birth of the universe and a dark force created alongside it known as the Swarm. The Swarm was the “anti-creation” and devoured all life in its path. The Keepers took responsibility for keeping the Swarm in check and protecting the fledgling universe from its dark hunger. After millennia, the Keepers began to die out and their numbers were no longer sufficient to contain the menace of the Swarm. The Swarm had escaped and now threatened the entire cosmos.
reality:As Gavin reads the chapter, his words spread throughout the library, captivating the minds of all within.Nearby, the book’s author, Carol Danvers is sitting down for coffee with her longtime teammate and friend, Simon Williams AKA Wonder Man. He gallantly pulls her chair out for her. They make small talk, enjoying the opportunity to just relax for a bit from their ongoing heroic efforts.Simon tells Carol that it’s really been great seeing so much of her lately. She echoes the sentiment. Simon continues, adding that he thought it might be nice for the two of them to spend time together when it didn’t involve some threat or another. Carol seems to realize where this is heading as Simon begins to suggest that maybe they might… but his suggestion is interrupted by a giant explosion. Looming over Manhattan is the Keeper from the novel! His body is so immense that he straddles the island, one foot on each side. He looks to the heavens, his eyes ablaze with energy.
At first, Carol doesn’t recognize the creature. As she and Simon take to the air to investigate, the words from her novel begin to emanate from the Keeper. Ms. Marvel recognizes it immediately and tells Simon that it’s reciting a novel she wrote! He asks which one but when she tells him, he admits to not having read that particular one. Carol teasingly asks when he last read a book without pictures.
Their banter is curtailed by the business at hand as Simon asks her what this thing is. She tells him it’s one of the Keepers from her book. She checks to see if it’s real. As Wonder Man draws closer, he is overwhelmed by some unseen force and falls unconscious. Carol manages to catch him and get him safely to the ground.
All the while, the eerily disembodied narration of her novel continues to hang in the air. She is unable to revive Wonder Man, so stops to assess the situation fully. She tries to figure out why someone would be projecting passages from her book. When she looks around, she sees the chaos unleashed on the city. Cars have crashed and traffic stopped as people have become frozen by the enchantment that seems to be carries with the words from her novel. This appears to be emanating from the library nearby and Ms. Marvel goes to investigate. She wonders aloud why she is not being affected by the spell that seems to have been cast over the area. As she opens the door to the library, she is overwhelmed by a brilliant light.
She enters the door and appears to have been transported to deep space. A disembodied voice asks her who she is. She asks the same question herself and the voice identified himself as Gavin. He asks how she got there since she’s not part of the story. Carol spies a planet in the distance and asks if Gavin is there. He replies that he doesn’t know where he is or where Rich has gone. He admits that nothing like this has ever happened before.
Carol tells him that if he can tell her what happened, she will try to find them both. He tells her that she’s flying the wrong way and she asks if he can see her. He replies that he can see everything but can’t seem to find Rich or the book. As Carol nears the planet, she sees the dark cloud-like form of the Swarm swirling up from the surface. Gavin urges her to run before it sees her.
As she flees, she asks Gavin how real all of this is. He replies that he doesn’t know as the Swarm begins to chase Ms. Marvel. Carol tells him that she’s trying to decide just how frightened she should be, but Gavin seems just as confused by what’s happening. He tells her that he think some people in the library died but doesn’t know for sure. He explains that he was broadcasting the story to his friend when everything around him turned into outer space.
Carol asks what he means by broadcasting and he explains that it’s something he can do when reading out loud. He can visually project what he is imagining from the story for those around him to see. Carol compliments him on how vivid his imagination is as the Swarm continues to relentlessly pursue her.
Carol notes to Gavin that the rules in his imagined world don’t always follow normal logic. She comments on how some things make sound and others don’t and how she can breathe in space. As she questions Gavin about this, they come to the conclusion that just as when anyone reads a book, their imagination focuses only on the relevant details of a scene and not every dynamic at play. Since Gavin isn’t imagining those kinds of details while envisioning a scene, they don’t get incorporated into the altered realities he generates.
Carol asks what would happen if he just imagined something on his own rather than relying on written text. Gavin admits that he’s never tried that before. Ms. Marvel tells him that in the book, Binary killed the Swarm. Gavin is excited that Carol has read the book and she tells him she wrote it. He is surprised at this and Carol retorts “So much for all the money I’ve been spending on PR.” She suggests that perhaps she is unaffected by her broadcast is due to the fact that she’s the book’s author.
Gavin tells her that makes sense as his power didn’t work when he tried to project a story that Rich had written about a girl he liked at school. Ms. Marvel asks him to table the creepy teenager fantasies and focus on the task at hand… stopping the Swarm. She suggests he read the part of the book where Binary defeats it but he reminds her that he lost the book.
At that moment, the Swarm catches up to her and she turns to attack it. As she fights, she encourages Gavin to imagine the scene on his own. He’s hesitant since he’s never used his power without that focusing tool. He recalls that Binary burned the Swarm away by going supernova, something the Keepers had always feared doing. Carol reminds Gavin that Binary isn’t here as the Swarm begins to physically engulf her body. She is quickly consumed by its amorphous black form. Gavin calls out to her panicked.
He desperately continues his narration, adding that all was not lost as Binary realized she was still alive. Within the Swarm, Carol opens her eyes and they glow with cosmic power. She is now in her Binary form and costume. She asks Gavin what he did and if he’s reading the book. He reminds her that he can’t find it and explains that he just imagined her as Binary. Carol reassures Gavin that together, they can figure this out. She tells him she is going to power up and she wants him to imagine the Swarm being burned away. He is hesitant at first but Carol expresses confidence in him and begins to count. As Gavin “narrates” the story of how Binary powered up and destroyed the Swarm, her power grows brighter until the Swarm is burned away in a flash of light.
With the Swarm destroyed, reality returns to normal. Ms. Marvel finds herself on the floor of the library a few feet away from Gavin and his friend Rich. Gavin is curled up and looks over at Carol. He asks if she’s okay. She replies that she is and asks if he’s Gavin. She rushes over to check on his friend Rich and finds that he’s alive. He comes to and looks up at Ms. Marvel who is kneeling over him. He excitedly tells Gavin that this is the best book ever! Gavin angrily throws the book at Rich and tells him he’s not broadcasting anymore. Ms. Marvel rises and suggests that they go make sure everyone is all right. Everyone seems to be recovering from the trance-like effects of Gavin’s powers.
Despite this, Gavin seems upset and asks if they can just leave. Carol tells Gavin that it’s not going to be that simple. He asks her if she’ll chase him if he tries to just run away and she replies calmly that she will. Rich asks if she’d chase him and she replies no, at which point he darts away. Carol places her hands firmly on Gavin’s shoulders and tells him that she doesn’t intend to hurt him but wants to figure out how she can help him. She asks if he’s a mutant and he tells her he isn’t. She asks how he can do these things then and as he is about to tell her, they are interrupted by a shout of “There he is!”
They turn to see a dozen AIM agents leveling their weapons at Gavin. The agent in charge orders the others to use “Storyteller Protocols” and authorizes lethal force if Gavin even glances at a written word. The AIM commander orders Gavin to close his eyes. Ms. Marvel generates a photon charge around her fist and aims it at the commander and tells him that he can walk away right now.
Gavin’s eyes glow with power as he declares this a “bad ending”. Carol asks what he means and he tells her that he was experimented on by these guys for a month and didn’t escape only to let them catch him again. He says that they shouldn’t be there and then says that they should be captured by the police in his “narrative” voice.
The AIM agents begin to discorporate, their bodies breaking into what looks like tiny blocks as they fade away. Carol is shocked at the sight of this, which is eerily similar to an effect she’s witnessed before. Gavin continues, saying that none of the AIM squad should be here and that it’s overkill for just one kid. He again activates his power and “narrates” that the AIM agents were all taken to jail. Carol asks him what he’s doing and he tells her that he’s rewriting the story.
Across town, the AIM agents suddenly appear in a jail cell to the surprise of the officer on duty.
Carol walks with Gavin who explains that they were going to take him away again and continue to experiment with his mind to find out how he does the things he does. Carol asks him how he does it. He explains that when he forms an image in his mind he can make it real. Until today, he always needed to read a book aloud to focus his mental images but that she helped him to do that without the book using only his own imagination. He is thankful that he helped her to gain control of it after his broadcast went out of control. As a result, she’s helped him get a whole lot stronger.
Carol reaches out to him and tells him that this is a very dangerous power he has. She tells him that a close friend of hers had a similar ability and he asks her immediately if she knew Wanda Maximoff. Carol asks how he knew and he explains that the AIM scientists knew all about her and said that she changed the world once.
Carol tells him that she lost control of her powers and altered all of reality, not just a library and it was a very bad and scary event. Gavin tells Ms. Marvel that AIM was using all of them to make more of her. Carol picks up on his use of the word “us” and asks if there are more like him. He tells her that he thinks he’s the only one. He tells her that the subjects were all kids and the surgery was pretty rough.
He cuts it off here and tells Carol that he likes her. She’s pretty and smart and really helped him out today so he owes her “big-time”. Tapping into his narrative power once more, he says that after helping Gavin realize his true power, Carol was transported back to where she was before all this happened.
Carol tries to protest but immediately finds herself back at the café with Wonder Man. She is back in her street clothes and momentarily disoriented. Simon asks what happened and doesn’t remember anything after the pair of them flew off to investigate the appearance of the Keeper. Carol takes Simon’s hand and asks if it’s really him. He smiles and asks who else it would be. Carol falls into his arms, clearly upset. She is clearly distraught and tells him she might have helped today or she might have really screwed up. She grasps him tightly and after a moment, he returns her embrace.

Something Dark is Coming
Araña is perched on a rooftop overlooking a previously secret base of operations for AIM. Smoke rises from the burning building below her. She has with her Carol Danvers’ cell phone which begins to ring. She answers and it’s Simon Williams AKA Wonder Man. He assumes it’s Carol on the other end and tells her that he was bored and thought he’d check in and see what the most beautiful woman in the city was up to. Anya interrupts and tells him that it’s her and not Carol on the line. He asks why she’s answering Carol’s cell phone and Araña explains that they’re in Queens investigating an AIM warehouse and that Ms. Marvel told her to call Iron Man for back-up is she wasn’t back in five minutes. She adds that it’s almost been five minutes since Carol entered the AIM facility. Simon asks what Carol is doing right now and Anya replies that it’s hard to tell with all the smoke and fleeing AIM agents. She suggests that it might be a good idea for Wonder Man to join them.
Inside, Ms. Marvel is being attacked by a small contingent of the Targoth, infectious zombie-like soldiers developed by AIM for the European nation called Slorenia. Carol has read the Avengers’ files on the Targoth but has never fought them and was unaware of AIM’s involvement in their development. She manages to momentarily break free of the throng of Targoth who are accosting her. She then has to dodge an energy blast from the Doomsday Man who unleashed the Targoth in the first place. As she maneuvers to counterattack she tells him that she remembers all his old tricks. As she gets closer, the Doomsday Man points at her. He generates a short-range teleportation effect that moves her several feet across the room into a position where he can more effectively attack her. As he hits her with a powerful backhand, he notes that there have been some upgrades since they last fought.
Ms. Marvel is thrown clear but is soon surrounded by the Targoth once again. She thinks to herself that she’d rather be making out with her date, William Wagner as she drives the Targoth away from her with a double energy blast from her fists. She has no time to recover as Doomsday Man launches himself at her. He drives her hard into the floor and through it! Her photon blasts are futile against him. As he presses his advantage he reminds her of their long history and laments being trapped for so long in this robotic form with no chance for escape and no end to his pain.
Carol finds herself in a sub-basement and the Targoths are not far behind her. She asks just how many of these things there are and the Doomsday Man replies that there were just a few dozen at first but that they are highly contagious and a touch is all it takes to infect someone. He announces his plan to unleash them on Manhattan after her inevitable defeat. Ms. Marvel replies that if they were so contagious she’d be showing signs of infection herself. Doomsday strikes once more and points out that Ms. Marvel is an “unobservant cow.” Carol looks down to see that she has been infected on her right arm. She charges forward despite this as Doomsday Man goes on about how she and the Avengers last defeated him and how he then fell into AIM’s hands. Ms. Marvel reminds him that it was he who started that battle and that they sent him to a hospital for help! He asks why she or the Avengers never followed up and claims that to her he was just a cameo in her life to be dealt with then forgotten. He continues to pummel her while she desperately tries to devise a plan to stop him. He throws her against a wall. As she rises, she notices that her entire right arm is now infected.
The Targoths catch up to her at last and she fights to drive them away. Doomsday Man burst through a wall and saves her the trouble by grabbing her and flinging her through the ceiling. He grabs her by the neck and tosses her aside like a rag doll. One of Carol’s crack from the impact but the Doomsday Man is relentless and on top of her again before she knows it.
Outside, Araña watches from above, frustrated by being sidelined. As she watches, a worker flees the building with one of the Targoths at his heels. He calls for help as he is grabbed and infected by the Targoth. Anya dives down to help, unwilling to allow others to be hurt while she’s on duty. She summons her carapace and immediately notices that the man she sought to save is now a zombie himself. As she lands near them, more Targoths emerge from the AIM building. She warns them to keep their distance and their hands to themselves as she engages them. She hurls her “spider-line” at one and encircles it neck, which snaps off when she tugs on the line. She then dives into the crowd, using her agility to attack one target after another in one fluid motion. She comments enthusiastically that fighting super-contagious zombies is “hot”.
Inside, Carol wonders if she’s dead or just on her way to becoming a zombie herself. But she is not alone. The voices that seem to be observing her every move lately and aiding her in times of peril return along with a wave of pain. One voice notes the damage to her right arm and the other suggests that this might be a good time to “activate” something that they have implanted in Ms. Marvel. The other says that this is as good a time as any given the rapidly spreading infection. At first there is no sign of a positive effect and Ms. Marvel cries out in pain. One voice expresses concern but the other has faith that Ms. Marvel will make it given a moment.
Carol does not understand how her arm has suddenly healed or what these voices mean but chooses not linger on those questions at the moment. Instead, she launches herself out of the pile of rumble she collapsed in and seeks out the Doomsday Man to finish this once and for all. Nearby, the Doomsday Man is reviewing the files on other deadly weapons AIM has developed.
 He is interrupted by Araña who asks if those were his zombies upstairs. She shows him her ‘spider-line” which is covered in green, glowing zombie blood and tells him that she thinks she broke them. At that moment, Ms. Marvel arrives and orders Anya to leave. Doomsday Man is shocked to see that Carol has survived. Anya tries to explain to Ms. Marvel about the zombies and that she came down to help. Doomsday Man teleports Araña to within his reach and comments on how Ms. Marvel never struck him as the type to have a sidekick. He grabs Anya and declares that he is about to make Carol a solo hero once more. He then tears Araña’s headgear off and she cries out in agony. Her carapace is a part of her body and ripping it off like that proves to be an excruciating experience. Ms. Marvel charges forward as he drops Araña’s unconscious body to the ground.
Carol takes flight, ramming the Doomsday Man through the exterior wall of the warehouse and into the courtyard. He retaliates with a laser blast from his mouth, which Ms. Marvel avoids easily. She scoops up a parked car as she does so. The Doomsday Man taunts her, telling her that killing the girl was more fun than trying to kill her. He goes on to suggest that perhaps the best way to get his revenge is to go after Ms. Marvel’s loved ones. Enraged, Carol hurls the car at the Doomsday Man. The force of the blow ruptures his armor and Carol takes full advantage of the breach. She reaches inside and tears the armor open, exposing the body of Kerwin Korman. She screams at him that he tried to kill her and Anya but that all he can do is try and kill. As she rips the amputated remains of his body from the armored form of the Doomsday Man, she tells him that she was trained to kill and that maybe it’s time she showed him how it’s done. Korman smiles and laughs weakly. He thanks her as he falls unconscious in her grip.
Shortly thereafter, emergency crews are cleaning up the mess after Ms. Marvel’s battle and airlifting Kerwin Korman to a hospital. Wonder Man tells Carol that the paramedics have him stabilized and think he’ll survive. Carol is dismayed to realize that this bit of news doesn’t make her happy in the slightest. Later that night at Carol’s apartment, Simon begins to ask about the man she had there earlier that night. Carol thinks he’s referring to her date, William Wagner and asks how he knew. Simon tells her that he’s referring to the AIM guy and that she herself told him earlier. He asks what the guy’s story was and Carol says that he teleported away and she has no idea where he is now.
The AIM agent, Sean Madigan is deep inside an AIM bunker reporting to a cabal of AIM scientists. They chide him for the failure of his mission and note that Ms. Marvel was merely supposed to be a test-run of the Doomsday Man armor not a true threat. Madigan says that it isn’t his fault that Korman couldn’t control it properly and was defeated; his job was just to give Korman control. They declare his response “unacceptable” and he tells them they will have to deal with it if they want their leader MODOK dead. This group of AIM leaders believes that MODOK is destroying AIM and preventing it from its true destiny. Madigan asserts that he is invaluable to their cause because he and he alone knows where MODOK is. He smiles and tells them that if they want to know where exactly, it is going to cost them.
Meanwhile, Carol’s publicist Sarah Day is in her office, drinking a glass of wine and reviewing a strange book filled with alien-looking symbols.  He assistant, Melissa interrupts her reading and Sarah quickly closes the book. Melissa presents a file folder to Ms. Day with information about the mystery man that Carol was spotted having dinner with earlier that evening. Sarah glances over the file and notes that William Wagner is an interesting choice for a dinner companion. She ask Melissa if she has any idea why the two were out together. Melissa replies “no” and Sarah says that they will have to deal with him sooner rather than later.
At Bellevue hospital, Anya lies unconscious. Her father Gilberto sits in a chair nearby. Carol arrives to check on her young charge and Gilberto stops her at the door. He backs her into the hallway and tells her to stay away from his daughter. Carol tries to explain but he doesn’t let her. He reminds her that he warned her that she would have to deal with him if anything happened to his Anya. He yells at her to get out of his sight and to stay away from his daughter. Carol turns and walks away from the enraged man. He returns to his vigil over his “arañita” while Carol breaks down in tears on a bench down the hall.

The Deal – Part 1 of 2
Iron Man and Ms. Marvel stand at ground zero of the latest terrorist attack on US soil in Indianapolis. Ms. Marvel wears a SHIELD-issue radiation suit to protect her from the unknown energies responsible for the deadly attack that killed close to one hundred people. Stark points out that there’s something wrong with the bodies, they’ve been mutated. Carol notes that before the Decimation she’d have guessed these were mutants. Tony points out the distorted faces of some of the victims which indicates that they died screaming. He add that they have a force field around the area and aren’t sure how to proceed with cleaning up the environment, thus the containment suit he asked her to wear.
Ms. Marvel asks why it is that he requested her presence specifically. As the two heroes enter the decontamination chamber, Tony explains that this bomb was specifically keyed to trigger genetic mutations in its victims. Carol begins to ask who could fathom creating such a weapon and immediately grasps Tony’s agenda: AIM. Iron Man notes that SHIELD has been after AIM for months and Ms. Marvel asks how the world’s top intelligence agency could miss a bunch of goons in yellow beekeeper outfits. Tony replies that they have been trying but that she should not underestimate AIM since even their lowest ranking members are scientific geniuses. He explains that when dealing with groups like AIM, Hydra and other terrorist cells, you’re often spread thin chasing false leads and shadows and that things have been a bit hectic on top of that lately. Carol asks if this is how he’s referring to the war that he helped start.
Tony is taken aback by Carol’s tone and asks if there’s something she’d like to say to him. Carol asks if he’d even hear her if she did have something to say. He retorts that there’s only one way to find out. She tells him that these people died here today because they weren’t going after the bad guys but chasing after Captain America and his underground movement against the “stupid Registration Act”. Iron Man shoots back at her that she thought it was important enough to go to Colorado and separate Julia Carpenter from her daughter! This pushes Carol beyond her limits and she lashes out at Iron Man with a double-fisted uppercut that sends him flying.  Ms. Marvel notes that in that moment they reached the understanding that they don’t see eye-to-eye on every issue.
Five days later, Carol is sitting in the offices of her publicist Sarah Day who is appalled that Carol attacked Tony Stark… in front of every major news agency in the country no less! She asks Carol if she’s aware of how many news programs, magazine covers and newspapers ran the story and Carol replies that she’s well aware thanks to the multiple daily messages that Sarah has been leaving on her machine since the incident. Carol tells Sarah that she only did it because she knew that the Iron Man armor would absorb the impact and that she felt he deserved it. Sarah’s sympathies are clearly with Tony and Carol assures her agent that he’s just fine. Sarah asks what Carol’s meeting with Tony earlier that morning was about. Carol is a bit surprised at this question, since she wasn’t sure if Sarah was in the know regarding that particular meeting with the new head of SHIELD.
Carol tells Sarah that at first Tony just seemed to want to show off his new Helicarrier, as if nothing had happened between them. Then he popped the big question: Will you lead the Avengers? Carol was shocked by his offer and notes that as her AA sponsor he should ask himself if this might not drive her right back to drinking. Carol admits that her initial reaction was to sleep in the decision, but now she thinks she should just turn him down. She says there’s no chance of her doing that. Sarah asks why she’s come to tell her about it then. Carol replies that it’s partly due to the umpteen messages that Sarah’s been leaving her and partly that she has something else she needs to discuss with Sarah. Sarah stops Carol and reminds her that she’s her publicist not her therapist. She says that she’s weak in the knees at the thought of Ms. Marvel leading the “Mighty Avengers”. Sarah stops and notes how she loves the ring of that “The Mighty Avengers” and makes a note to herself to suggest it to Tony right away.
Carol comes out and tells Sarah that she’s not sure she needs her services anymore. Naturally, Sarah is taken aback by this. Carol explains that she’s not quite sure what it is that Sarah is doing for her and that her monthly bill is nearly as much as her rent! Sarah tells Carol that in all honesty, she’s not sure what Carol has that needs publicizing beyond nice legs and a great speaking voice. She lacks a cause or project to promote. Carol interrupts and asks what she should be doing? Perhaps pick a random charity or adopt a child from a country no one can pronounce and pretend it’s for the greater good rather than unearned attention. She says that she’s a superhero and Sarah points out that that’s truly Carol’s only draw and with all the heroes about, that doesn’t give her a major reason to be promoting her.
Carol thinks that Sarah is encouraging the idea of a charity as a focus but Sarah clarifies that she simply needs to find something that she truly wants to do, as she is currently lacking a goal. She tells Carol that when they first met, she had a goal but that she’s already lost sight of it. She thinks that Carol needs something tangible to chase after and that until Carol figures out what that is, she’s of no use to her. This puts Carol in her place and gives her plenty of food for thought.
Carol decides to focus on getting a second date with William Wagner as her first goal. She calls him and the two talk about the abrupt disruption to their first date, when Ms. Marvel’s protégé Araña showed up in her apartment. William admits that he was a bit thrown at first and should be running away from any potential romance with Carol as a result, but that he finds he’d rather not. The two agree to a date on Friday night. Carol shares the good news with her cat, Chewie. She’s then surprised by the arrival of Araña.
 Carol expresses her concern for Anya, who was injured during their battle against the Doomsday Man. Anya has visible bruises but assures Carol that they will heal. She notes that her spider-like carapace is gone as a result of her injuries. She tells Carol that she doesn’t have a lot of time as she’s on her way to work and her father has been checking up on her. Carol tells her that given the restraining order her father filed, she really shouldn’t be here. Anya assures her that her father has made that abundantly clear. Carol tells Anya how sorry she is but Anya interrupts. She tells Carol that she doesn’t blame her for any of this and that she knows that if she’d followed Carol’s orders and stayed outside, she might not have been hurt. Carol assures her that she did well and saved lots of lives that night. She argues that all she did was almost get herself killed. Carol tries to comfort Araña and explains that everyone in the hero business gets hurt like that at least once. Araña takes this as a warning that this sort of thing is bound to happen to her again. Carol tries to explain but Anya tells her that she has to get out of her and she swings away, leaving Carol to wonder just what kind of impact she’s had on her young heroic protégé.
Ms. Marvel pays a visit to Avengers Tower to see Iron Man. She tells him about how she set out to become the “best of the best” and asks what happened and why she stopped. He seems surprised and doesn’t think that she has. He asks if this has anything to do with the fact that he asked her earlier to lead the Mighty Avengers. Carol rolls her eyes and asks if Sarah called him. He simply replies that he thought it was a catchy name. Ms. Marvel reminds Tony of what happened a week ago when she punched him. He comments that he wondered when she’d get around to this. He replies that he summoned her to Indiana because of her recent encounters with AIM and because he needed to perform a “gut check”. He knew that he couldn’t run SHIELD and lead the Avengers as well.
 Carol asks if her decking him convinced him that she was right for the job. He tells her that it told him she was human and that she was questioning the decisions she had made. He says he’d never trust a leader who couldn’t do that and still stand firm once the decision was made and that is why he wants her for the job and why he goaded her by pushing her buttons like he did. Carol considers this and tells him that the Avengers and his offer are important to her… but they aren’t enough.
She explains to Tony that there’s more to being the best than just defeating bad guys or getting your name known by the public. You have to truly make a difference. Shellhead says that this is what he’s offering her as leader of the Avengers. Carol tells him it isn’t enough. The Avengers are a sledgehammer to deal with enormous threats but at times, the world needs a precision tool like a scalpel to deal with problems. She tells him she wants access to SHIELD’s file and agents, as well as the ability to select specific registered superhumans to form a pro-active strike team. This team will hunt down the “worst of the worst” before they get to be a grand problem requiring the attention of teams like the Avengers. Iron Man asks if she wants to be an agent of SHIELD. Carol replies that she doesn’t. She just wants access to their resources, independent of the bureaucracy which often hampers SHIELD’s effectiveness in dealing with threats such as AIM. Tony dons his helmet and insists that the Mighty Avengers comes first. Carol asks if they have to call the team that and Iron Man replies that the focus groups loved it. Ms. Marvel assures him that she’ll be there for the Avengers 100% but that in their off-hours between dealing with cosmic invasions and planet-threatening threats, she has things she needs to be doing.
Later aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier, Commander Maria Hill is seriously upset when she can’t locate two of her agents, Locke and Baines. She demands to know why they aren’t on the bridge. At that moment, Tony Stark newly-christened Director of SHIELD calls to tell her something that escaped him earlier. Simultaneously, Sarah Day is conducting a press conference where she informs the public of the destruction of an AIM facility in Indiana by Ms. Marvel and a contingent of SHIELD operatives.
She notes that this facility was directly responsible for the recent tragedy in Indianapolis. Footage shows Ms. Marvel and her team overwhelming AIM’s forces. Following this is a recorded statement from Ms. Marvel warning groups and individuals such as AIM that this is the first of many attacks of a pro-active nature that she will be overseeing and that she is done simply reacting to acts of evil. He new initiative, Operation: Lightning Storm will seek out those who would perpetuate acts of evil and that these acts will not go unpunished. She ends by simply saying “You have been warned.” Concluding this statement, Sarah Day smiles with satisfaction and asks the assembled reporters if they have any questions.
Later, Ms. Marvel is giving Wonder Man the tour of her new base of operations: Minicarrier 13! Simon is surprised that Tony just gave Carol a SHILED Minicarrier. Carol acknowledges that it’s pretty cool and notes that if her old apartment had been damaged one more time by a super-baddie it would probably have fallen over. She is not so enthusiastic about explaining to Maria Hill why a civilian is in charge of one of her ships. Simon says that he’d love to meet Carol’s new team and she assures him that he will, as she plans on calling on him for help often. At that moment, Agent Sum arrives and tells Carol that they’ve found her.
Carol makes her way to the briefing room where she introduces Wonder Man to her other two operatives: Agent Locke from the psy-ops division and their tech wiz, Agent Baines. She adds that Agent Sum’s expertise is so classified that she had to ask twice before getting a straight answer. She asks for a summary of what they’ve found. Sum tells Carol that they tracked her from the Negative Zone breakout directly to Colorado…just as Carol expected. Hearing this, Simon quickly surmises that they are chasing Julia Carpenter AKA Arachne.
Carol quickly clarifies that they’re not chasing Julia. She explains that before she starts her campaign to stop villainy before it strikes, she needs to resolve some things from the past. She asks if Simon wants to help given his role in apprehending Julia in the first place. He readily agrees. The briefing continues and Agent Sum notes that Julia did travel to Colorado and has been on the move since. They’ve tracked a credit card used by Julia’s mother in Ohio but a few minutes earlier, SHIELD’s psychics picked up her trail in Brooklyn. Agent Locke chimes in that the emotions Julia is exhibiting are raw and brutal. Carol asks what she is feeling and Locke replies that she’s consumed by pure hate.
At that moment in Brooklyn, Anya Corazon has arrived at work at the Chicken Cow. Her manager refuses to let her work the register because of the bruises on her arms. She argues that she brought a long-sleeve shirt but he refuses to let her work the register out of the proper Chicken Cow uniform. She offers to work in the back and he says that someone else has been assigned to that. She gets frustrated and tells him that she doesn’t need this right now. He asks if this means she’s quitting and Anya replies sassily, “Exactamundo!” As she leaves, she grumbles about the stupid job and uniform. She is surprised when someone asks “Where is my daughter?” She looks up, stunned to see Arachne clinging to the wall above. She repeats her question, yelling this time “WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!”
