'One minute we're kicking butt against an army of bad guys, now this... Avengers, we've been set up!' Jan van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp calls out to her teammates in the Avengers Unity Squad as they hover amongst seemingly endless darkness. Rogue calls out to Jericho Drumm a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo and asks him what they are up against here. His eyes glowing with magical energy, Doctor Voodoo announces that this is clearly unnatural, but that he will need to take a closer look to determine its origin. Johnny Storm the Human Torch creatures some light thanks to his flame powers as he hovers alongside the others, carrying Emily Guerrero a.k.a. Synapse in his arms. Synapse reports that she feels confusion and pain in all directions, and that people are terrified. 'Can you blame 'em?' the Torch asks.
Darkness fell over New York City eight minutes ago, as the heroes continue to try and make sense of their surroundings, the Torch exclaims that it is pitch-black outside in the middle of the day! Synapse pulls her phone out of a pouch on her belt and reports that power is out below, and she has no cell signal to call Quicksilver. 'We're completely cut off from the outside' she declares. 'Not for long if Ah have anything ta say about it!' Rogue exclaims as she flies forward – and then slams into a forcefield that surrounds the darkness, knocking her back. The Wasp flies over to Rogue and asks her if she is okay. Rogue rubs her head and tells her that the only thing wounded is her pride. The Wasp points out that not every problem gets solved with a punch. Rogue narrows her eyes as she tells Janet to speak for herself, as punching has done her pretty good over the years.
The team regroups, and Johnny tells the others that he knows it is a long shot, but he wants to see if his fire has any effect. Rogue tells him that it is a good idea as she takes Synapse from him. 'Wait, let's -' the Wasp calls out, but too late, as the Torch fires a burst of flaming energy towards the barrier – and flames somehow pass through the darkness. 'That's not good' the Torch utters through gritted teeth. The Wasp asks the others if they can please slow down and figure out what is going on. Doctor Voodoo reports that there is mystical energy emanating from the darkness, but that the source is not immediately apparent. 'That said, it's clearly meant to keep us in' he remarks, while wondering where the power comes from. He concentrates hard, and discovers that the power comes from a man, but he does not recognize him. 'Wait, there' something else...' Voodoo begins, before a large hairy hand with claws suddenly grabs him. 'A creature!' Voodoo calls out, while a huge, monstrous creature emerges from the shadows, making a horrid screeching sound.
The Torch calls out to Voodoo, while telling the others that the creature just stepped out of the darkness. 'Well, he shoulda stayed there if he knew what was good for him!' Rogue exclaims as she drops Synapse, who begins to plummet to the street below, while she flies towards the creature – and flies right through the beast's face. This causes the creature to release Voodoo from its grasp, while Rogue swoops back around towards the street, 'Don't worry, Synapse. Ah gotcha' she assures her teammate as she flies back towards the others. 'Please never do that again...' Synapse utters. 'Uh, guys...' the Torch calls out, as gunk begins to drip from the creature's destroyed face. Voodoo reports that he understands now, and informs his teammates that these creatures are from the Darkforce Dimension. The drips begin to form into smaller creatures, while Voodoo explains that the sky above has been transformed into a conduit between this world and the creatures'.
'Then we're all that stands between those critters and innocent folks below! Let's get to it, Avengers!' Rogue calls out, as the heroes drop down to the ground, where the creatures are beginning to land. Rogue instructs Synapse to reach out with her powers and search for any wounded. 'You got it' Synapse replies, while Rogue asks Voodoo if he has any idea whether they can push these uglies back. Voodoo states that he will consult with the spirits, when suddenly, a huge creature lands on a rooftop, and explosions begin to occur as other creatures hit several buildings. 'You do that while Janet, Johnny and me take care of business!' Rogue exclaims. Synapse wishes everyone good luck, 'You, too' Voodoo tells her, before he utters 'Phantoms within the darkness, answer my call...' as he tries to find out more about the creatures.
On the rooftop: 'I'll keep it distracted!' the Wasp exclaims as the gape-jawed creature begins to case her. 'Roger that!' Johnny exclaims as he fires a blast of flame at another creature, and Rogue  stands near some civilians, ready to protect them. The Torch passes one of the creatures and burns it with his flame. 'Ahhh, yes, that disgusting burning monster smell...' the Torch smiles. '... like wet dog mixed with Hulk farts'. At that moment, Rogue carries a slab of concrete with several civilians lying on top of it. 'Ah!' one of them exclaims. 'Hey!' another calls out. 'Quit shoving!' a third mutters, while Rogue tells herself that she can't believe she is saying this – but she misses Quicksilver right now!
Meanwhile, outside the dome, in Manhattan, Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver speeds across water, muttering that he can't leave the city for a minute without something ridiculous happening – now, some kind of force field is covering the island. He tries to punch the force field at several locations, darting about, he discovers that there is no gaps in the surface, when suddenly, an announcement over the communicator from the Tony Stark AI announces to any and all Avengers that are remaining, their services are required immediately. 'We are under attack. This is threat level red, defcon infinity stuff here, people – we need you to get to Washington DC!' Quicksilver stands on the edge of a boat that is on the water near the force field. He looks back out towards the force field, then turns and speeds away from it, answering Stark's call.
Back inside the dome, twelve minutes after darkness now, Synapse feels fear everywhere. She tells herself to focus, and  when an explosion occurs in an apartment nearby, she detects that there are two trapped inside. 'Okay, Emily, you can do this' Synapse tells herself, leaping through a window, she reminds herself that it is just a burning building, and jumps up some broken stairs, 'I know you're afraid, but stay where you are! I'm coming to get you!' Synapse calls out to those trapped inside. She then kicks a door down and enters a burning room, where two young children are huddled in a corner. Synapse goes over to them and helps them up, she holds the young boy in her arms, and takes the girl's hand. She tells the children that she needs them to stay calm and follow her. 'Okay...' the girl utters, when suddenly, as they leave the room, the ceiling in front of them collapses. 'Looks like our exit's gone up in smoke...' Synapse utters, while the children begin to cough.
Outside, Rogue is punching one of the creatures in the face, when she receives a psychic cry from Synapse, who tells her that she hopes she can hear her, and to zero in on her location. Rogue turns from the creature, and flies towards the building where Synapse and the children are trapped – just as Synapse leaps from a window with the children in her arms. 'Hold on tight!' she tells the children, while Synapse calls out to Rogue 'Okay, I lied. You can catch me any time' as she and the children fall towards Rogue. Moments later, Rogue has placed Synapse and the children on the ground, and the Wasp flies down to Rogue, telling her that she is concerned they are spreading themselves too thin. Rogue tells Janet that can't be helped. 'In case ya hadn't noticed, the whole city's under attack'. 'Thank you, ninja-lady' one of the children utters. 'You're welcome' Synapse replies.
Janet narrows her eyes and tells Rogue that she knows, but that scattering in all directions is not going to solve this. 'Neither is arguing about strategy' Rogue retorts. 'That's the problem. There is no strategy!' Jan exclaims, while above them, the Torch is absorbing fires from around the city. Rogue glances back at Janet and tells her that if she is looking for someone to give orders, then she is on the wrong team. 'Just save lives and don't get killed' Rogue declares as she flies off. 'See how I absorbed that fire into my body? Pretty sweet, right' Johnny remarks as he drops down towards Synapse and the Wasp. 'You guys weren't even looking, were you?' Johnny asks, while the Wasp just sighs.
At that moment, Rogue drops down amongst some rubble and thinks to herself 'Well, that was mighty mature. Janet calls you out and you just bolt...'. She decides that she was honest with Janet, though, admitting to herself that she doesn't know how to take charge or inspire people to work together. 'Ah'm not Steve Rogers... and Ah never will be' Rogue tells herself, before she comes across a hole in a building and realizes that it wasn't made by any critters – meaning somebody's taking advantage of this mess to make a withdrawal. Rogue looks into the darkness and hears a voice utter 'Hurry up, Herman!' to which the response snaps 'I'm going, I'm going!' Inside, are Herman Schultz a.k.a. the Schocker, a criminal outfitted with “vibro-smashers” which he uses to shake and destroy anything that gets in his way. He slams his fist into the ground, breaking it up 'Nice one! Now it's my turn!' a woman in a green costume with a large scorpion-like tail exclaims. Her name is Elaine Coll a.k.a. Scorpia, a criminal who wears this high-tech scorpion battle suit.
A wall before them opens up and Shocker tells Scorpia that the Feds store part of the gold reserve here for the international banks. 'Holy moly!' Scorpia exclaims. 'No power, no security, so we are laughing!' Shocker tells her – when suddenly, Rogue begins to laugh, and the criminals turn to her. 'A bad-guy cackle full of impotent evil...something like that, right?' Rogue asks. 'Oh crap, it's the X-Men!' Scorpia calls out as she leaps into the air. 'Nope. Just li'l ol' me' Rogue declares as she dodges Scorpia's tail and slams the Shocker into a nearby pillar. Scorpia fires a blast of energy from her gauntlet and tells Rogue not to fight them. 'The government doesn't need all this gold! We... we could split it!' she suggests as the blast slams into Rogue, who tells Scorpia that she has been where she is at, so she is sympathetic – but she still has a job to do.
The Shocker addresses Scorpia by her true name, Elaine, and tells her not to try and negotiate with Rogue, as she has “hero brain” and thinks she is better than them. 'Just kick her ass!' Shocker exclaims as he slams his fists into the ground, creating a seismic shock that tears across the floor – and straight through it, causing the floor to collapse, and sending himself, Scorpia and Rogue plummeting into the tunnel below, where they land with a large splash in the water beneath the building. 'What the %#&! did you do that for?' Scorpia snaps at Shocker, who apologizes as he explains that he was trying to knock Rogue down, but these new vibro-smashers have a lot more kick than his old ones. Rogue glares at the criminals and tells them to shut up – as they have bigger fish to fry. Scorpia and Shocker move over and back up against Rogue, as creatures move out of the darkness and surround the trio, while making horrid chattering noises.
Back outside, the Wasp knocks a creature back with her wasp's sting, while the Torch tells her that they need to find Rogue – but Jan tells him that they can't worry about her right now – their priority is stopping these creatures any way they can. The Torch looks over to Synapse and asks her if she is all right. Synapse looks like she is in agony, her hands against her head as she closes her eyes and tells Johnny that there are so many people afraid, so much despair, it is hard to block it all out. The Wasp encourages Emily to hold on as best she can. 'We'll get through this rough patch and then -' the Wasp begins, before she notices Voodoo appear above them. She calls out to him, asking him if he has had any luck – 'Oh, NO!' the Wasp exclaims as Voodoo turns to her, clearly possessed, energy darts around him as a horrid voice exclaims 'Do not disturb us... we are feeding!'

The Night Shift, part two
'Don't freak out!' Rogue order´s criminals Shocker and Scorpia as chattering creatures surround the trio. The Shocker goes wide-eyed and swears, while Scorpia screams. 'Stay close and let 'em have it!' Rogue shouts as she punches one of the horrible creatures that emerges from the shadows. Shocker releases one of his vibro-smashers against a creature, knocking it to the ground, as Scorpia leaps into the air and fires a blast from her battlesuit's tail, striking another creature. But as they fight, in the sewers beneath New York City, more creatures slip out from the shadows and into view, ready to fight Rogue and the two criminals.
'I'm a super-villain, lady! You're not the boss of me!' Scorpia snaps back to Rogue, unaware that a creature is swooping down towards her. 'Watch your head, Scorpia!' Rogue responds as she pushes Scorpia back and grabs the creature, shoving it into the ground. 'Hey!' Scorpia shouts. 'If you push me again I'll blast your face off!' Rogue doesn't respond, as Shocker glances over to them and suggests they concentrate on the monsters here. The trio back up and regroup, with Rogue remarking that they don't have time to argue – the only way they are getting out of this alive is if they work together. Shocker tells Rogue that she is the leader until someone better comes along.
“Til someone better comes along” Rogue thinks to herself. 'Ain't that the sad truth. She decides that ever since Steve Rogers disbanded the Unity Squad, she has felt like that is all she can do – pretend she is in charge until someone qualified takes the reins, keeping the team stumbling from crisis to crisis. Rogue decides that she can't handle it, that she doesn't know how to be the leader that they need, recalling how when Janet tried to get her to take charge – she simply flew away and left them high and dry. Scorpia blasts another creature, while Rogue punches one in the face, she spins around just as a creature rises up above her, and she takes her frustrations out on the creature, punching it hard.
At that moment, above ground but trapped within the force field that surrounds Manhattan, Jan van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp, Johnny Storm the Human Torch and Emily Guerrero a.k.a. Synapse stare up at their teammate, Jericho Drum a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo, who hovers above them, possessed. 'Jericho!' the Wasp calls out. 'Oh my God!' Synapse gasps, while the shadow parasite within Voodoo appears to take over Voodoo's image, boasting that this body is a conduit for mystic energy, and that it likes the body. 'Whatever you are, release Doctor Voodoo, now!' the Wasp shouts as she flies towards the parasite and blasts it with her wasp's sting – until a surge of mystic energy washes over the Wasp and knocks her backwards. 'No. We will keep it' the horrird parasite boats, turning its attention to the Torch and Synapse, it announces that they were invited to take this place and everything inside, so they accepted. 'We're not going down without a fight, pal!' the Torch declares, before Synapse warns him not to blast him, as he could hurt Voodoo. Johnny tells Synapse that he knows – but what else is he supposed to do?
'You cannot stop us!' the parasite possessing Voodoo boasts. 'This body is ours. This city is ours' it exclaims, as chattering creatures start to surround Synapse and the Torch. Synapse tells the Torch that the waves of fear and pain around them are brutal, but she will try to contact Jericho's subconscious mind and force out that monster. Johnny creates some flames around his body and tells Synapse that that sounds good. He encourages her to hold on, while he keeps these critters off her. The Wasp recovers at this moment and Synapse helps her to her feet, while Synapse asks if they have a backup plan in case this doesn't work. 'Have we ever?' the Torch asks. 'Good point' Synapse replies, and as several creatures lunge towards them, Johnny shouts 'Let's fire it up!' and he releases a powerful surge of flames that wash over the chattering creatures.
The Torch goes over to the Wasp and asks her if she is all right. Jan tells him that she is, but just a bit woozy after that hit. A moment later, the parasite possessing Voodoo calls down to the heroes: 'Burn while you can, it will not matter. Your light will die. Our darkness will take over. Every shadow is ours...and this new home is made for us...!' and a moment later, a surge of energy rises up from the ground, and from it bursts a huge creature. Synapse reports that she is pushing as hard as she can, but she can't find Jericho. 'He's...he's just not there!' Emily explains. Suddenly, Voodoo's astral projection appears before Synapse, confirming that it is true, and that his spirit has been displaced by the Darkforce creature inhabiting his body. Synapse goes wide-yed as Voodoo asks if he can share her body until they route the invader. 'Uhhh...' Synapse groans.
Back underground all of the creatures seem to have been defeated and Rogue asks Shocker and Scorpia if they are okay, to which Shocker tells her 'Yeah...that was actually kind of a rush' to which Scorpia remarks that she is amazed Shocker didn't electrocute himself with his stupid gloves. 'I told ya before, my vibro-smashers don't shoot out electricity! They vibrate the air really fast' Shocker replies. 'Okay, then why are you called “The Shocker” instead of, like...I don't know...The Vib-' Scorpia begins, to which Shocker interrupts her: 'Don't say it! Just don't!' Rogue looks over to them and tells them that they are cute, but they still have some unfinished business about them robbing that bank. 'Seriously?' Scorpia snaps. 'I thought this was the part where we team up 'cause we risked our lives for each other and stuff!' Rogue looks at Scorpia and replies 'Honey, that only happens in comic books'. Rogue starts to remind Scorpia that they were looting during a crisis, when suddenly, there is a loud rumbling, and a huge, monstrous creature roars as it bursts forth towards them. 'Oh, come on!' Rogue complains.
Outside, the Torch and the Wasp blast away at the creatures, while the Torch calls out 'If you guys could hurry this up, that would be just dandy!' Synapse concentrates hard, and Voodoo's astral form tells her to stay calm, and that she is doing well, while up above, the parasite possessing Voodoo's body calls out 'Lay waste, lay claim. It is all ours!' More creatures appear, and once Voodoo's astral form is sharing Synapse's body, he asks her how she feels. Synapse tells him that she feels weird, but good. 'Let's go' she suggests, as Voodoo takes control of her body and levitates her into the air. 'Purify the body, release the flesh' Voodoo declares, but the parasite tells him that  his magic will not save him. 'Creature rampage or wizard battle?' the Torch asks Wasp. The Wasp tells him that they need to keep these people safe and hope that Synapse and Voodoo can sort out the rest.
Down below, the huge creature roars as Rogue swoops backwards, grabbing Scorpia and Shocker, who exclaims that if they get outta this alive, he promises never to rob a bank again. Scorpia and Shocker fire their respective powers towards the creature, while Rogue tells them both to hold on,  as she flies upwards towards a grate above them – and bursts through it, out into the open air above ground – but a moment later, the huge roaring creature follows, breaking up the ground around it as it tries make its way above ground. Rogue turns around and hovers mid-air, holding Scorpia and Shocker as they stare back at the creature. 'Holy moly... look at that thing! Somebody better call the Avengers!' Scorpia suggests. 'Shut up, Scorpia...' Rogue mutters.
Nearby: 'Another one down, but I'm running out of firepower here, literally!' the Torch calls out as he blasts a large creature that is following him. The Wasp fires her sting at several small bat-like creatures and tells the Torch that she knows it looks grim, but they are all that stands between these goobers and over a million New Yorkers. 'Watch out!' a voice calls out, and the Wasp turns to see a dog-like creature leaping towards her – only for a woman to come to Rogue's defense, smashing a baseball bat into the creature, which falls to the ground. 'Oh no you don't!' the woman exclaims. Several other civilians rush over and start to bash the creature as well. The Wasp smiles and jokes that she thinks the neighborhood watch is on the case.
As the Torch drops down from above, the Wasp approaches the civilians and asks if everyone is okay. 'We're fine, all things considered' the woman who saved her replies. A man remarks that all the destruction, craziness and demons falling from the sky reminds him of the Inferno from back in the day. 'That was before our time, Ajusshi' someone else comments. Wasp asks the group if there is anything else they can do for them, but the woman with the baseball bat tells her not to worry about them, and to go find other people in need and help them. Suddenly, the Wasp and the Torch look up to the sky as they hear a screaming, and see Synapse attacking Voodoo's possessed body. 'That's not good...' the Torch utters.
'You're a stubborn one, aren't you?' Voodoo calls out to the parasite possessing his body as Synapse wraps a hand around Voodoo's neck, and forces Voodoo's body to the ground, where they crash into a road with  a surge of energy. The parasite gets Voodoo's body up quickly, and calls out 'Go ahead, take your body back...if you can!' Through Synapse's body, Voodoo defiantly replies 'I shall'. 'Release me!' Voodoo's astral form declares as he uses Synapse's body to fire a blast of energy at his own. 'Fool!' the parasite responds, as it lashes out at Synapse, knocking her back, it tells her that she does not have the strength. 'Perhaps not, but I know someone who does' Voodoo replies through Synapse.
At that moment: 'Don't fly towards it! Get us outta here!' Shocker pleads as Rogue flies towards the huge creature, 'No can do, Shockeroo... we've gotta stop that monster before it hurts anyone else!' Rogue replies. 'We're not heroes!' Scorpia shrieks, to which Rogue explains that it isn't a matter of being heroes – they are all in this muck together.
'Oh, $#%&...' Shocker utters, as Rogue slams into the creature's face, the trio find themselves in the creature's head, where Scorpia repeats over and over 'We're gonna die' as she stings other creatures inside the larger creature's head. Shocker releases his vibrations, while Rogue punches a creature and tells Scorpia that they are not going to die, not if they have each other's backs.
The group fight on, as Rogue thinks that her talking about teammwork is a crock, as she messes up every team she is part of, and hurts those closest to her, wreck everything she touches. Shocker's gauntlets glow as he slams his fist into the side of the creature's face, and Rogue continues to punch hard and fast – and eventually, the creature, and the creatures inside it, is destroyed, its large body collapses to the ground. 'Holy $#%&! We did it!' Scorpia calls out as she and Shocker stand amongst the remains of the creatures and high-five each other. Shocker laughs and exclaims 'We rule!' while Rogue looks around, then suddenly hears a voice in her head – it's Synapse and she reports that they need her badly. Synapse explains that Voodoo has been possessed by some kind of creature, who summonsed a bunch of really big shadow monsters. 'Hey! Where are you going?' Shocker calls out. Rogue doesn't answer him, she just flies off, so Shocker turns to Scorpia and asks if this means they are X-Men now. 'You're an idiot, Herman' Scorpia mutters.
Rogue tells herself that she is  a fool – after all these years, she still doesn't know how to play well with others. Synapse reports that Jericho is fighting spiritually, but the parasite's physical form is too tough her for her to handle – and they need her muscles. Rogue tells herself that she has to get her act together, and flies on.
'Run for cover, people! I'll keep it busy!' the Torch cries out as he engulfs the large creature in flames. 'Don't know how much longer we can keep this up' the Wasp calls out as she fires her sting, when suddenly, 'Oh, thank god...' the Wasp utters as she sees Rogue arrive above – and watches as she slams into Voodoo's possessed body and grabs him, holding him in place, while she calls out 'Okay, gang. Tell me what ya need'. Synapse holds Voodoo's staff, while Voodoo's astral form explains to Rogue that the shadow parasite is attached to his body, and that she must tear it out. Rogue wraps her arms around Voodoo's neck, and the shadow parasite seems to glow as part of it emerges from Voodoo's mouth. 'Are you sure? 'cause that's gonna be plenty messy and -' Rogue begins, while Voodoo shouts 'JUST DO IT!' so Rogue latches onto Voodoo's body and the shadow parasite howls 'NOOOOO' as Rogue pulls it from Voodoo's body.
This results in a surge of energy spreading from the parasite, it washes out across the city, striking the creatures and destroying them in spectacular display, while the heroes take cover from the energy. The energy washes out further and further – on a rooftop somewhere in the city, Daredevil covers his ears as a mighty BOOM echoes around him, while Luke Cage and Iron Fist watch as a creature they were fighting is destroyed. Jessica Jones stands with some children and watches the energy gather nearby, pulled upwards into the darkness that covers the city – and as the energy begins to subside, Doctor Strange takes a moment's respite and sits down.
'We... did it' Synapse utters as she collapses. 'Careful, Emily. You pushed your mind to the limit' Rogue points as she helps Synapse to stand. Rogue looks over to Doctor Voodoo and asks him if he is himself again. 'I... am' Voodoo replies. He explains that his insides feel like they have been scraped with sandpaper, but otherwise, he is whole. 'Thank you' he adds. 'That was one heck of a light show!' the Torch exclaims as he and the Wasp fly over to their teammates. Synapse glances at Rogue and tells her that she doesn't want to complain after that epic rescue, 'But you smell like poop' Synapse informs her. 'Yeah, Sugah, that's a bit of a story' Rogue replies, while Voodoo announces that they will have to wait – as the creatures have been wounded, but they will quickly recover and attack again. Synapses passes Voodoo his staff back and suggests that they can handle it if they stick together. 'Speaking of which, we need to clear the air on this whole “team” thing' the Wasp remarks.
Rogue tells Janet that she hears her, and agrees, and as the others gather together, Rogue adds 'Just as soon as we figure out how ta bring back the light'.

Inside, Outside, Upside Down
(flashback, during “Secret Empire”)
Washington DC, during the rise of the Hydra Nation. 'WANDA!' Quicksilver calls out to his sister, who is surrounded by a glowing sphere of energy as she hovers over Quicksilver and several other heroes who fight nearby – the Iron Man AI, Kamala Khan, and two heroes called Spider-Man – Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The Scarlet Witch then opens her mouth to speak, but it is not her voice that Quicksilver can hear. 'This vessel now belongs to Chthon... oppose us and die!' the demon possessing the Scarlet Witch exclaims, as the Scarlet Witch fires a blast of energy that strikes Quicksilver, who shouts 'NO!' as he falls to the ground, looking up at his sister, he promises to save her – that he won't stop her until she is free.
(present)
Avengers Mansion is battle damaged, the roof has been busted in, part of two walls are collapsed and smoke rises up from another part of the former home of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Several former residents begin to gather around – Rogue, Jericho Drumm a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo, Jan van Dyne the Wasp and Johnny Storm the Human Torch. Standing away from the others are Pietro and Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, respectively. So...' Quicksilver's voice trails off as he folds his arms in front of Wanda. He remembers Wanda possessed by Chthon, and finds himself without anything else to say. 'Yes, Pietro?' Wanda asks, looking at her brother. Pietro rubs the back of his head as he asks 'Sister... where do we go from here?'
Wanda folds her arms and looks away from her brother as she tells him that they must do what is always done after great strife overtakes their lives – they must carry on. Quicksilver remembers the possessed Wanda screaming 'Blood and fire! A fitting baptism for our new world!' as she unleashed chaos around her. 'I...I tried to save you' Pietro tells Wanda. Wanda puts a hand on her brother's arm and tells him that she knows he did the best he could, and adds that what is important now is that she is herself again. 'Are you?' Pietro asks, remembering Wanda's possessed eyes. 'YES' Wanda declares, putting a hand to her brother's chin and turning his face to look at her. Wanda announces that what she needs now is a new purpose and people she trusts. 'And you think you'll find that here?' Pietro asks, turning away. 'It'll do for now' Wanda responds.
Nearby, 'C'mon, now. Don't eavesdrop on their conversation, Emily' the Wasp remarks to Emily Guerrero a.k.a. Synapse who is watching the Maximoff twins. Emily turns to the Wasp and tells her that she has never seen Pietro like this before, that his emotional state has waves of frustration and regret rolling off him. The Wasp smiles and puts a hand on Synapse's shoulder as she informs her that Wanda and Pietro have always struggled, and that she will get used to it. Looking up at the statue of the founding Avengers, Rogue turns to the Torch and tells him that if Wanda thinks she is just waltzing back in and joining them, then she has a another think coming. 'Cool down, Rogue! Only one of us gets to be the hothead around here' the Torch replies. 'Ah'm serious, Johnny!' Rogue exclaims, to which the Torch tells her that he knows she is. 'Death, chaos, insanity...that woman drags destruction behind her' Rogue declares, adding that the Scarlet Witch can't be trusted. The Torch smiles at Rogue and suggests she at least hear the Scarlet Witch out.
Rogue and the Torch walk over to where Wanda and Quicksilver have gone over and joined the Wasp, Synapse and Doctor Voodoo. Quicksilver tells his teammates that his sister has been through a traumatizing experience. 'I feel it would be best if -' Quicksilver begins, but Wanda interrupts him, telling him that there is no need to couch this in sympathy, before explaining to the others that her body was controlled by Chthon during Hydra's rise, but now the demon is gone. 'I'm an Avenger. I wish to stand with you once more' Wanda states. 'You're off your nut, Wanda!' Rogue shouts angrily. 'Steve Rogers disbanded the Unity Squad! We're not a team and we don't follow the Avengers Charter!' Rogue exclaims. Wanda narrows her eyes and asks 'If that's so, then what are you doing here at Avengers Mansion?' Rogue scowls and explains that they stick together because they are needed. 'Good. Then I wish to assist in that mission' Wanda replies, staring Rogue down. 'We don't want you!' Rogue retorts.
Quicksilver moves in front of Rogue and the Wasp steps up next to Wanda as Quicksilver reminds Rogue of her own words – they are not a team and she is not the leader – they all get a say here. The Wasp agrees with Quicksilver, and Doctor Voodoo reminds the Avengers that during the Darkforce invasion, his body was also under control by an invader, yet they accepted him immediately once it was purged – so Wanda deserves the same chance. 'We've all done things we regret' Doctor Voodoo adds. 'It's true. Some of us only this morning' the Torch smiles, while Rogue folds her arms and frowns. 'What's important is what we do moving forward, yes?' Doctor Voodoo asks, putting a hand on Wanda's shoulder. 'I...I agree' Wanda smiles, before Quicksilver thanks Jericho, and tells him that they are in his debt.
Later, Rogue lies in one of the beds of a ruined room within the Mansion. 'SHHHH!' the Torch exclaims as he enters the room. 'Johnny! What the $#%& are you doing?' Rogue calls out, sitting up in the bed. 'I think it's fairly obvious...I'm bringing a little heat to your room' Johnny smiles as he lies down next to Rogue. 'You know if Ah touch you, Ah'll -' Rogue begins, as the Torch interrupts her: '... steal my powers and memories and turn me into a drooling, unconscious wreck. Yeah, yeah. I didn't forget'. Rogue tells Johnny that she doesn't want to be his Medusa rebound. 'If anything, she was my Anna Marie rebound' the Torch jokes. 'You know what Ah mean' Rogue replies. The Torch then smiles and tells Rogue that he actually just stopped by to make sure she was okay. Rogue lies back and looks up at the ceiling, 'Trapped in a city of eternal darkness, saving people from Darkforce demons, 'til we were exhausted, week after week... none of us realizing the whole world was crumbling outside and Steve Rogers had tricked us all. Our friends fixed it. Yay for them. Now we're squatting in Avengers Mansion while an evil witch tries to move in and bust up my family. Yeah, Ah'm peachy' Rogue tells Johnny.
The Torch looks up at the ceiling as well and tells Rogue that, firstly, they are not “squatting”, as the previous owners abandoned the Mansion during the Darkforce invasion and the city is letting them use it for a couple of weeks as a “thank you” for saving thousands of lives. Rogue and the Torch turn and look at each other as the Torch tells Rogue to forgive the terminology, but they had no way of knowing that Steve Rogers had gone “rogue”. 'He was Captain America for crying out loud!' the Torch exclaims. “Sentinel of Liberty”, “Bald eagle of American values” the Torch quotes, telling Rogue that she can't blame herself for that. 'And the Wanda stuff?' Rogue asks. Johnny leans back against the pillow and admits that he has nothing to offer – except they will just have to wait and see how it goes.
In another part of the ruined Mansion, Wanda gazes out a broken window as Jericho approaches her. Wanda notices him and tells him that he should get some rest. 'I could just as easily say the same of you' Jericho replies, before asking Wanda why she is still awake. Wanda hugs herself as she explains that she is restless, still feeling out of sorts after recent events. Doctor Voodoo sits down on a sofa as Wanda reminds him that he mentioned this afternoon that he had been possessed recently. Doctor Voodoo tells Wanda that it is far from the first time, and explains that the magic he wields involves a great deal of taking or losing control of physical forms. 'How...how do you deal with that?' Wanda asks. 'A simple question. A complex answer' Voodoo replies, before explaining to Wanda that the body is his. 'But is it the sum total of my existence? No' he adds, revealing that he inhabits it and wields it in service to his spirit.
'So your body doesn't matter?' Wanda asks. Voodoo explains that it has a purpose, grounded in its animalistic needs and desires. 'Those can be nice too, you know...' Wanda smiles, to which Voodoo laughs, before touching his head and his chest and telling Wanda that what really matters is the spirit – the inner self, beyond physical limitations. Wanda sits down on the sofa and puts her hand near Voodoo's on the sofa as she informs him that she wielded dark magic, and hurt so many people. 'Chthon did that. You did not' Voodoo replies. Wanda tells Voodoo that, for all her bravado in front of Rogue, she wonders if Rogue is right – chaos magic makes for a chaotic life – it always has. Voodoo takes Wanda's hand in his and tells her that she wields great power, and that could not be without strength of spirit. 'I know' Wanda replies, looking back at Voodoo. 'You know it in theory, but now you must believe it' Voodoo points out. Voodoo puts two fingers to Wanda's forehead asks her to lift her mind above aching bones and muscles pressed tight from tension. 'Your fears will stay behind as you begin – to FLOAT?' Voodoo calls out as a powerful wind sweeps into the Mansion and lifts the two sorcerers off the sofa. 'I take it this wasn't your intent?' Wanda calls out. 'No!' Voodoo replies as they are thrown about the room.
In another room, the Wasp continues to sleep as the bed she is in is raised up above the floor, and Rogue and the Torch suddenly find themselves lifted up above the bed. 'Um...'Rogue calls out. 'WEIRD!' the Torch shouts, adding that he is not sure yet where this falls on the creepy-or-sexy spectrum. Rogue alerts the Torch to the ceiling which begins to break apart, but the Torch tells her not to mind that, and decides that this is definitely creepy. In another part of the Mansion, Emily grabs hold of a light fixture on the wall as she is lifted up off the ground. 'WHOA!' Emily calls out. Quicksilver sighs as he speeds along the ceiling, asking if they could just go one night without everything going berserk. 'Did we win a free trip to space camp and no one told me?' Emily asks, looking over towards Pietro, who begins to speed around her, creating a funnel effect. 'Not quite, Emily...' Pietro calls out, before moving away from Emily, who is now in her Synapse costume. 'PIETRO!' Synapse exclaims. Quicksilver assures Emily that he wasn't attempting to be cheeky, but that they need to be ready for battle.
'Hold on!' Synapse tells Quicksilver, grabbing his hand as the ceiling begins to break apart, and the two heroes suddenly find themselves standing on all sorts of Mansion rubble that has been upturned and now floats over the Mansion. The Wasp wakes up and looks around herself, while Doctor Voodoo and Wanda hover nearby, as does the Torch, while Rogue is resting on a chunk of concrete as she looks over and sees a man with long hair wearing a blue and white costume floating nearby. 'Oh, $#%&, it's Graviton!' Rogue calls out, while Graviton greets the Avengers as “groundlings” and informs them that her has had a revelation. 'NO ONE CARES, PAL! FLAME ON' The Torch shouts as he powers up, switching to his fiery form. 'Don't interrupt me, little firefly' Graviton replies. '...or else' he warns the Avengers as he uses his control over gravity to hurl the Torch into Rogue, who screams. 'NO!' the Torch exclaims, before Graviton slams the Torch into a chunk of rubble floating nearby. 'Where was I? Yes, yes, yes... revelation' Graviton declares.
Quicksilver begins to move his clenched fist at a super speed, as Graviton calls out 'The Red Skull, Hydra, Doctor Doom, Magneto...it doesn't really matter. Pick one. All their schemes, all their machinations...meaningless!' Graviton boasts as Quicksilver tries to run through the air to attack him, but Graviton causes Pietro to plummet to the ground below. 'Wha -?' Quicksilver calls out, before he slams hard into the concrete beneath him. Graviton grins as he adds 'Even this...tearing you all apart, controlling the force of gravity that defines us here on this planet... it's nothing'. As the heroes begin to float around Graviton, the villain tells them that he has seen true power – the Cosmic Cube – he has felt the force of its gravity, just for a moment – and then it was gone. Graviton goes wide-eyed as he tells the heroes that the mind was not built to see the Cosmic Cube's multitudes, let alone control it.
Rogue tells Graviton that they don't have the Cube, and that they barely stopped Hydra. 'Why take it out on us?' she asks. 'You're not listening. This isn't a villainous plot, Miss Mutant' Graviton replies as Rogue floats over to him. Graviton tells her that the universe is a random place full of random occurences beyond comprehension. 'In an instant, I can take away any hope of control you thought you had' Graviton declares, while the Scarlet Witch begins to cast a hex, energy swirling around her fingers. 'I'm going to show you and everyone else how futile and meaningless our lives really are. Because I can' Graviton exclaims. Suddenly, 'Enough boasting, madman! We are Avengers, and we have bested far better than you!' the Scarlet Witch calls out, aiming her hex towards Graviton. 'Feisty!' Graviton grins. 'Fly high, silly witch... and say hello to the stars for me' Graviton declares as he uses his power to send the Scarlet Witch careening upwards through the air, up into the atmosphere, where Wanda clutches at her throat, desperate for air....

Push and Pull
Laguardia Airport, New York, where a man in a suit whistles for a cab as he waits outside the terminal. 'Good evening, Sir' the cab driver remarks. 'And to you' the man in the suit replies. The cab driver asks him where he is headed, to which the man in the suit informs him that he is going to 890 Fifth Avenue. 'Very good' the cab driver responds. As they begin the drive, the cab driver notices that the man has no luggage, and asks if this is a short trip. 'Hopefully brief, yes' the man replies, adding that normally he would handle this kind of thing over the phone, but that the client he is dealing with is notoriously hard to reach – unanswered emails, unreceived letters, disconnected phone numbers. The driver laughs and points out that it sounds like someone trying to avoid responsibility. 'You'd think so, but that's actually not the case' the man in the suit replies, explaining that at a certain level of fame, the kind of day-to-day communication they take for granted just drops off, which is why he is forced to show up in person. 'After many years of this kind of work, I've learned a simple rule of thumb... super heroes prefer the direct approach!'
At that moment, several super heroes known as the Avengers Unity team are floating above the ruined Avengers Mansion, confronted by the madman called Graviton, who looks up into the night sky, 'Off she goes to see the stars' he grins wickedly, while Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver clings to a slab of concrete hovering nearby, and Emily Guerrero a.k.a. Synapse teters on that slab. Rogue, Jan van Dyne the Wasp, Jericho Drum a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo and Johnny Storm the Human Torch all float amongst assorted rubble and pieces of furniture nearby. 'WANDA!' Quicksilver shouts as he looks up to the sky. 'Yes...Wanda...the Scarlet Witch, free of gravity's curse thanks to my incredible power...' Graviton remarks, before asking Quicksilver what he thinks will happen first – will his sister run out of air or freeze to death? 'My bet's on air, personally' Graviton replies, adding that, either way, it will be downright excruciating.
Rogue calls out to Graviton and asks him why he is doing this, what it is he wants. 'Useless questions, pointless answers. You're looking for purpose in a world where nothing matters' Graviton responds. He grins wickedly as he boasts that he is an agent of chaos. 'Welcome to death by happenstance' he tells the Avengers. 'You're insane!' the Torch shouts as he clenches his fists. 'Possibly. But who really keeps track anymore?' Graviton replies, glancing over to the Torch, adding 'The whims of the universe make our worldly definitions seem so small' as he narrows his eyes at the Torch. Graviton touches Rogue's chin and remarks that he might send all of them tumbling up into the atmosphere, or perhaps they will stay here together until the sun rises. 'The excitement comes from not knowing what I'll decide until the impulse strikes me' Graviton adds. Quicksilver tries to pull away from the slab of concrete he is stuck to and warns Graviton that he will hunt him down for what he has done. 'That could be amusing' Graviton replies casually, adding that it might be nice to see the “Avengers” do some avenging” for a change.
Nearby, Doctor Voodoo closes his  eyes and raises two fingers, 'Elemental Spirits of the Air, I implore you...' he utters. '... Heed my call. My ally needs your aid. Share your life-giving essence and sustain her. I will gift you many things and bless you many times in gratitude for this service' Doctor Voodoo adds. And, at that moment, two strange spirit-like beings appear near Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, who floats desperately in the atmosphere, high above planet Earth. One of the Elemental Spirits of the Air suddenly gives Wanda the breath of life, and Wanda gasps, before thanking the magical beings as she casts a hex.
Back on Earth, Graviton turns to Synapse: 'Now then, what about you? I don't believe we've had the pleasure of being intro-' Graviton begins, before he clutches his head in agony. 'I'm called “Synapse”. Let me show you why' Emily retorts, narrowing her eyes as she enters Graviton's brain. Synapse explains to him that she can worm her way into his mind and change what he feels or influence how he moves. Graviton cries out in pain, as Synapse makes a fist and tells him that, right now, he is going to let them go. At that moment, Graviton releases the Avengers – and all the rubble and furniture that were caught up in his gravitational pull, and they all come crashing down into the remains of the Mansion.
'Hate psychics' Graviton mutters as he pushes a large piece of collapsed brick wall off of himself. 'RAAAGH!' Quicksilver shouts as he speeds towards Graviton, and begins to punch him repeatedly at super-speed. 'Now you will pay!' Quicksilver exclaims, before Graviton gains the upper hand, 'Begone, you blurry buffoon!' Graviton snaps as he knocks Quicksilver away, and sends him careening upwards out of the Mansion ruins. Graviton rubs his head and wonders if this is the universe punishing his hubris, deciding to meditate upon that after he kills these fools. Suddenly, Graviton hears a creaking noise, and looks over to see Rogue lifting a large brick wall off of herself, the Torch, Synapse, Voodoo and the Wasp. 'Okay, gang. You know what to do' Rogue tells her teammates. The Wasp and the Human Torch fly forwards, and the Wasp instructs the Torch to nail Graviton before he can fully concentrate. 'Yes, ma'am!' the Torch replies, but before he can reach the villain, Graviton knocks the Torch back with a wave of gravity.
The Wasp reaches Graviton though, and blasts his face with her wasp's sting. 'This will not do...away, Wasp!' Graviton exclaims as he swats the insect-sized Wasp away, slamming her hard into some rubble. Synapse tries to reach into Graviton's mind, but she reports that he is ready for her this time. 'You're going down, Graviton!' Rogue declares as she picks up a slab of concrete and throws it towards Graviton, who uses his power to smash the slab into small rocks and pebbles. 'No, Rogue...you are' Graviton replies as the rocks fall down around Rogue. 'Down, down...I think I'll crush you deep into this island...pulverize you into a liquid and let your juices enter the water table' Graviton declares. Rogue trudges towards her foe, groaning as she struggles against the force of Graviton's power, a look of sheer determination on Rogue's face.
'You cannot move... gravity will destroy you!' the shocked Graviton exclaims, perplexed as to how Rogue is able to move closer to him. Rogue moves closer and closer, slamming her feet to the ground, before she grins and declares 'WRONG'. Graviton looks worried and asks Rogue why she is smiling, when suddenly, a surge of energy strikes Graviton in the face. 'It seems your concentration is split, Graviton. Too bad' Wanda remarks as she appears nearby, with Quicksilver at her side. Graviton cries out in pain and clutches his head, before Rogue appears behind him and grabs his cape, 'That's called “teamwork”, Sugah' Rogue tells him, before pulling Graviton towards her face, 'C'mere and give us a kiss!' Rogue exclaims, and Graviton goes wide-eyed with surprise, before he drops to the ground. 'That's better' Rogue remarks, rubbing her head, explaining to Graviton that she will absorb his powers and memories until they get him locked away. Suddenly, memories flash through Rogue's mind – Graviton through the years, including a battle against Captain America, and one against the West Coast Avengers.

Rogue becomes overwhelmed, the other Avengers call out to her, as gravity around grows out of control once again. 'Graviton's madness – it's infecting her!' Wanda exclaims. Rogue years voices telling her to keep a hold of herself, and not to do this. She looks around and utters 'This power...I can feel the Earth spin'. The other Avengers start to get caught up in the gravitational pull as Doctor Voodoo tells Wanda that they must strike Rogue down before this all starts up again. 'I know, but -' Wanda begins. 'Wait!' Synapse calls out, offering to try and reach Rogue, while the others are knocked about by the gravitational warp. 'Rogue! It's Emily! Your friend!' Synapse calls out directly into Rogue's mind. Rogue covers her ears and utters 'He was right...we're so insignificant. None of it matters'. But Synapse tells Rogue 'No. You're important. We're important'. Synapse goes on to tell Rogue that every person they save, every life they have touched – they matter. 'You have to believe that and hold on' Synapse urges Rogue.
Rogue grimaces as she clutches her head, before she drops to the ground, tears falling down her face. The gravitational wave ends, and the Avengers drop back to the ground. 'I knew you could do it!' Synapse exclaims as she rushes over and wraps her arms around Rogue. Rogue glances back at Synapse and thanks her, admitting that she thought she was going to go bonkers. 'Please tell me we got him' the Wasp asks as Quicksilver helps her up. 'Yes. He is “got”' Quicksilver replies. Rogue looks down at Graviton who is collapsed on the ground and quotes him: “Agent of Chaos” and suggests that this creepo needs a jail cell and some therapy. Doctor Voodoo goes over to the Scarlet Witch and asks her if she is all right. Wanda smiles at Jericho and tells him that she is a bit shaken up, but that she will be fine. Wanda remarks that the spirits told her who sent them to save her. 'Is that so?' Voodoo replies, to which Wanda tells him that she will need to pay him back for that. 'I look forward to it' Voodoo tells her.
Everyone turns to the main gate when a cab screeches to a halt outside. The shirtless Torch powers down and motions to the cab, 'Uh...did someone order a cab?' he asks. 'Nope' the Wasp replies. 'Weird' Synapse adds. The cab driver tells the man in the suit that he wasn't kidding about those super heroes. 'I never kid, good sir. It's bad for business' the man in the suit responds, before thanking the cab driver for his prompt service. The man in the suit enters the Avengers Mansion grounds and approaches the heroes. 'Can we... help you?'  the Torch asks. 'Absolutely! I wouldn't be here otherwise!' the man replies. He then clears his throat as he addresses the Human Torch: 'Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm, my name is Harris Hutchley, barrister-at-law. I'm here to discuss the legacy of the Fantastic Four!' he announces, causing the Avengers, in particular Johnny, look shocked!

Stars & Garters, part one: A Pint or Two
'I'm here to discuss the legacy of the Fantastic Four!' a lawyer called Harris Hutchley announces as he stands before the Avengers Unity team on the grounds of the ruined Avengers Mansion. The Avengers turn to their teammate, Johnny Storm the Human Torch, wearing only some shorts, he frowns and shouts 'Stow it, pal! Whatever it is, I don't want to hear it!' The lawyer assures the Human Torch that he would not have traveled all this way if it wasn't of the utmost importance. 'I don't care!' the Torch snaps, not looking at Mr Hutchley. 'Johnny...' Rogue calls out as she puts her hands on the Torch's shoulders. Johnny turns to Rogue and tells her that Reed, Sue and the kids are gone – that it is terrible, but that is all there is to it. 'Why can't people just leave it alone?' he asks. Harris Hutchley opens his briefcase and remarks that they can't leave it alone because the Torch's brother-in-law was the most brilliant mind this world has ever known.
Harris Hutchley continues, pointing out that Reed Richards' dedication to a better future laid the groundwork for a greater world of heroism and exploration. Hutchley hands a file to the Torch and informs him that as a legal concern, Reed Richards created a dizzying number of inventions and owned thousands of important patents – from propulsion engines and qquantum calculators to matter transfer solutions and unstable molecules. 'Reed was a super-genius. I know. Everyone knows' Johnny declares. 'You don't full comprehend what I'm saying, Mt Storm' Hutchley replies, explaining that he has been embroiled in a multitude of legal cases against dozens of the largest corporations in the world for the their unlicensed and unauthorized use of Dr Richards' extensive IP and patent library.
As the Torch flicks through the file, Jan van Dyne the Wasp looks at Harris Hutchley, and Emily Guerrero a.k.a. Synapse starts to say 'Okay, but what does that have to do with -' to which Harris Hutchley adjusts his glasses and explains that, under directions from Dr Richards made before his untimely passing, he pursued every possible legal entanglement with an eye toward formalizing these uses and settling all related affairs discreetly and out of the public eye. He informs the Avengers that he has done that, using every bit of legal knowledge and political moxie at his disposal. Tossing some pages out of the file, the Torch exclaims 'Let me guess, now you're going to invoice me for your time?' but Harris Hutchley assures the Torch that his fees have already been covered, and that he is here to discharge the results of his work to Reed and Sue Richards' sole living heir. '... you, Mr Storm' Hutchley reveals.
Rogue, Synapse and the Wasp, along with their teammates Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch, Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver and Jericho Drumm a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo gather around the shocked Johnny Storm, as Hutchley tells him that if he will sign a few papers, then he will be in full possession of Dr Richards' illustrious patents, as well as licensing fee settlements paid in total of five billion, 196 million, 353 thousand, 518 dollars – and 41 cents. Hutchley grins as he asks if they can grab a cup of chai and discuss this matter in more detail.
Elsewhere, a figure in a long trenchcoat and wide-brimmed hat walks down a bust street. 'Vengers! 'Vengers!' a little girl carrying a balloon calls out as she walks with her mother, who calls her Stacy and tells her that she knows she is excited, but that she shouldn't run too far ahead. 'Oops!' the girl exclaims as she suddenly lets go of her balloon. 'Oh, no!' Stacy's mother utters, when suddenly, someone grabs the balloon – it's the man in the trenchcoat and hat, who kneels down beside Stacy. 'Don't lose that, little Stacy. We need you on our team' Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast grins. He tips his hat before carrying on down the street, leaving Stacy smiling behind him.
The Beast stops outside an establishment called The Luck o' the Irish Pub, which has covers over the windows preventing anyone from seeing inside, but a sign indicates that the pub is under repair but open. As he walks inside, the Beast removes his hat and calls out to the redhead behind the bar: 'Hi, Molly. Looks like the place has seen better days...' his voice trails off. 'Haven't we all, Beast' Molly Fitzgerald a.k.a. Shamrock replies. 'Touché' the Beast agrees. Molly tells the Beast that the pub fared better that most during the Darkforce crisis, but that she needs to keep slinging drinks and paying rthe bills while giving this place some R'n'R – repairs 'n' renovations. 'Where's our boy?' the Beast asks. 'Back booth. He's already got yer drink' Molly remarks.
The Beast walks over to a booth in the back where Simon Williams a.k.a. Wonder Man is sitting. 'Color me shocked, Simon. You showed up early' the Beast greets his friend. 'Where else have I got to br?' Simon smiles. They tap their drinks together, 'Cheers!' Simon declares, before they knock their drinks back. 'So' Hank remarks. 'So' Simon replies. 'How the hell did we get here?' Hank asks. Simon laughs and asks Hank if he wants to go first. Hank hangs his head and tells Simon that it has been quite the run – X-Men, Avengers, Defenders, X-Factor, ex-X-Men – always hoping around, making a mess, never feeling settled. “Making a mess”? Simon quotes. He reminds his friend that he is the brilliant, bombastic Beast. 'Heroic genius who's forgotten more words than I've ever cared to learn!' Simon jokes. Beast puts his fingers on the rim of the glass and tells Simon that he knows he has been dead, or diffused – bur he has missed some of his screw-ups.
Memories flood Hank's mind as he explains that his intellectual and scientific capabilities have given way to devil-may-care-conceit, just like when he first drank the serum that made him this blue-furred mess. The Beast reveals to Simon that he mucked with time travel and wrecked the lives of five kids who deserved better, including a younger version of himself, then he betrayed mutants as he tried to cure a plague that threatened to wipe them out, and to get back into their good graces, he acted as a diplomat for New Tian during the Hydra debacle. The Beast cover his face as he utters 'Hydra. I watched fascism spread and looked the other way instead of fighting it tooth and nail'. Molly brings more drinks over as Hank remarks that being smart doesn't mean he actually “knows it all”, and jokes that he has become a case study for intellectual hubris. 'Wow, I didn't realize I eas going to be Father O'Williams listening to your much-needed confessional' Simon jokes, before asking Hank if he is looking for mea culpas or what. 'I'm rambling... I know you've been through the ringer' Hank remarks.'Sure, but at this point, I'm just happy to be alive for a change' Simon replies.
Simon tells Hank that everyone thought he was gone – and frankly, he thought that, too – until Rogue kissed Deadpool and his weird healing factor pushed his ionic energy form back into the world. 'Deadpool and Rogue kissed?' the Beast asks. 'Yeah' Simon tells him. 'I'll just wipe that particular apparition from my mind, thank you very much' the Beast laughs. 'Crazy, right' Simon jokes, remembering how he returned to life on this occasion. Simon reminds Hank that before that, he ewas Zemo's secret super weapon, then dead, scared, a failed Avenger, a crappy actor, a slightly better Avenger, then dead again, and back again, frustrated and lashing out because he didn't know what else to do. Wonder Man explains that he chose to become a pacifist because he didn't want to hurt anyone anymore – he wants to do good in this world. 'I'll drink to that' Hank agrees, before asking Simon if he has spoken with Wanda.
Simon glances away as he claims that there hasn't been time. 'I came back from the grave and then, next thing I knew, Steve Rogers marched on Washington and took over the whole damn country' Simon points out, adding that Wanda was possessed again, and now she is better, but she hasn't exactly been rushing to rekindle their romance. 'What do you want?' Hank asks. 'No idea' Simon replies. 'You need to talk to her. Get things settled, one way or another' Hank suggests. Simon knows that he should, but explains that he doesn't know if he can, as it is all so messed up. 'How do we solve this, buddy?' Hank asks. 'How do we get back to center instead of continually whirling out of control?' Hank enquires. 'That is the question, isn't it?' Simon frowns.
Suddenly, they look up when they hear loud sirens. 'Sounds like trouble' Simon remarks, before he and Hank head to the pub door. Hank thanks Molly for the pints, 'Any time, gents' Shamrock calls back as Simon and Hank leave. 'Well, wouldja look at that...' Hank utters as they reach the sidewalk outside. '...a patented poorly planned super-villain getaway' the Beast exclaims as they see an armored vehicle speed past, with police cars hot in pursuit. On the back of the armored vehicle is the villain known as Whirlwind, with some henchmen at his side. 'Cops? Lemme handle this!' Whirlwind exclaims as he unleashes a powerful funnel of wind that knocks a cop car up into the air. 'Time to go to work?' Hank asks. 'You know it, bud' Simon smiles as he and Hank bump their fists together.
Elsewhere, Janet van Dyne sits opposite Rogue at a cafe and asks her how Johnny is holding up. Rogue explains that Johnny is a bit bewildered by all the paperwork, but that otherwise he seems okay. 'And how about you? How are you doing?' Jan enquires. 'Me?' Rogue asks, surprised. Jan points out that Rogue has been on edge since the Unity Squad was disbanded and they zipped  off to Japan to fight ninja-zombie Hulk. Rogue holds up a cup of coffee and looks away as she replies 'The Hand, M-Pox, the Red Skull, and then Steve turning traitor and selling the whole country up river while trapping us in the dark with a million-zillion monsters...wild times'. 'Absolutely. But we're still here' Jan remarks, adding that they are still looking to Rogue for guidance. 'Me? Ah'm not a leader, Janet. Ah told you that already' Rogue exclaims. 'I heard you say it, but I don't think that you believe that. Not really' Jan responds.
Rogue asks Jan why she doesn't do it, after all, she is a founding member of the Avenges, and has been chairwoman. Jan narrows her eyes and assures Rogue that she has thought about it, and informs Rogue that when she bolted during the Darkforce situation, her first inclination was to take charge, like she always does – but that isn't the long-term solution. The Wasp smiles as she reminds Rogue that she said it herself – the Unity Squad is gone, the reason these people stick around and fight the good fight is because she gives them a purpose. 'That purpose doesn't require charters or membership cards or Captain America yelling “Avengers Assemble”!' the Wasp explains, adding that she is happy to support this team, but that she can't take charge, it isn't her place. 'Ah'm gonna screw this ups sometimes' Rogue replies. 'Sure, and I'll be there to tell you when you do, but on the whole, I think you'll do a great job, Anna Marie' Jan replies, addressing Rogue by her true name.
Jan then asks what their first plan of attack is, to which Rogue replies that they may be “unofficial Avengers” but she feels that they have got to get the Mansion put back together, as it is too important to leave busted up and out of sorts. Jan sips her coffee and tells Rogue that she agrees. Suddenly, 'Taxes!' Johnny Storm shouts from a table nearby, where he sits opposite Harris Hutchley. 'Why the $#%& do I have to pay taxes on all this?' Johnny asks. Harris explains that it is called “Business & Opportunity Tax” and that it is how the system works. He adds that he is happy to introduce Johnny to some trusted accountants who can help him retain more of his money and assist with investments or trusts as required.
At that moment, 'Oh, great. It's Wonder Wuss and the Grape Ape!' Whirlwind calls out as he sees Wonder Man flying towards him, carrying the Beast. 'Ready for an intercept?' Wonder Man asks the Beast. 'Indubitably!' the Beast replies, as Wonder Man lets him go, despite the Beast telling him to be careful, as he is heavy enough to throw his momentum off balance. 'Fascinating!' the Beast then exclaims as he lands on the front of one of the in-pursuit police cars. 'Even with your flight speed and prodigious ionic strength, I'm surprised you were able to -' the Beast begins, interrupted when a spinning blade zooms past his head. Wonder Man flies in front of Whirlwind, whose henchmen open fire at him. 'Stop this vehicle right now!' Wonder Man calls out. 'KILL HIM!' Whirlwind tells his henchmen.

Suddenly, Wonder Man swoops into the back of the armored vehicle and grabs the surprised Whirlwind who exclaims 'What are you doing?' Wonder Man tells him that he is not going to hurt him, and remarks that he is committed to nonviolent super hero solutions. 'Brake time for bunky!' the Beast calls out as he leaps onto the top of the armored vehicle, then drops down into the front where he kicks the henchman driving onto the empty passenger seat. 'Prepare for rapid deceleration!' the Beast exclaims, as he pulls on the brake, bringing the vehicle to a screeching halt. 'Thank you for flying Air Avengers!' the Beast smiles. 'Please stay seated until local law enforcement has turned off your seat belt sign' he jokes. 'Be careful as you depart, as contents may have shifted during landing' the Beast adds, while in the back, Wonder Man smiles as he sits, tangled up with Whirlwind and his henchmen.
Shortly: 'So' Wonder Man remarks as he leans against a police car, watching as police officers load Whirlwind and his henchmen into the back of a secure police truck. 'So' the Beast responds. 'What do we do now?' Simon asks his friend. 'I think it's fairly obvious...' the Beast replies, pointing out that they will need to make statements to the police to ensure Whirlwind and his compatriots are properly charged to the full extent of the law in this jurisdiction. 'That's not what I meant' Simon smiles. 'I know' the Beast smiles back. Simon tells the Beast that they stpped the bad guys. 'Yup' the Beast agrees, and Simon adds that Hank even kept the driver from going through the windshield. 'Of course! The alternative would have been unbearably messy...' the Beast explains. Simon puts a hand on Hank's shoulder and tells him to joke all he wants, but that beneath that blue furry mane  of his beats the heart of the most hard-working, brilliant and heroic person that he knows. 'Aw, shucks' the Beast replies. Simon suggests that they be better tomorrow than they were yesterday. 'I'll drink to that' the Beast tells him as they high-five each other. 'Good, because Deadpool stole all my assets, so dinner's on you' Simon adds.
At a restaurant, Pietro and Emily sit outside, as Emily tells Pietro that she feels a bit guilty leaving the others. 'Feh. I doubt they even noticed we took off' Pietro replies, and Emily realizes that he is probably right. 'That's what happens on teams, Emily. The loud and obnoxious ones get all the glory, while we're left to get things done before zipping out for some crème brulee' Pietro explains. 'That doesn't sound all bad' Emily smiles, before telling Pietro that she doesn't need to read his thoughts to know that he has had a lot on his mind. 'Quite true' Pietro admits. Pietro frowns and turns away as he reveals that after the invasion, when the city was cut off by the Darkforce, he wondered if life would ever return to normal. He adds that it made him realize that leaving things undone or words unspoken would only lead to more regrets. 'I missed you' Pietro tells Emily as he turns back to her. 'You did?' Emily asks. 'Yes, and I -' Pietro begins, before Emily's phone gets a message, and she pulls away from Pietro. 'Oh, it's Rogue' Emily announces. 'Of course it is...' Pietro frowns.
A moment later, 'What's the emergency?' Synpase asks as Quicksilver speeds towards their teammates at Avengers Mansion, carrying Synapse in his arms, both of them now dressed in their costumes. Rogue, Wasp, Doctor Voodoo and the Scarlet Witch are looking up at the ruined Mansion as Rogue reports that there is no crisis, she is just calling a meeting so they can talk about the future. 'Where's the boy billionaire?' Quicksilver asks. 'Making deals and handling indigestion brought on by acute fiscal responsibility' the Wasp responds. Rogue turns to Doctor Voodoo and asks him if he is sure this will work. 'I do not traffic in certainty, but I believe the results will be appreciably useful to us' Voodoo replies, before calling out to Wanda, who stands near some Mansion rubble and reports that she is is ready when Jericho is. 'What's all this?' Quicksilver asks as Wanda and Voodoo begin casting spells.
The Wasp informs Quicksilver that Doctor Voodoo thinks he can summon magical assistance to get Avengers Mansion rebuilt. 'Beyond dimensions and across the land- Cyttorak's servants, heed my command!' Doctor Voodoo utters. A portal opens, and several strange reddish beings who look not unlike the Juggernaut emerge from it. 'Fix the structure that once stood in place – restore it anew and built with great haste' Doctor Voodoo calls out. 'Cye-toe' the the beings repeat over and over as they begin picking up the rubble around the Mansion and putting it back in place as part of the longtime home of Earth's mightiest heroes. The Wasp and Rogue watch the strange creatures, perplexed. 'What in the -' the Wasp gasps, to which Voodoo explains that the Cyttora are the diminutive minions of Cyttorak the Invulnerable, and are obsessed with strength and durability, so by invoking Cyttorak's magic, he brought them here. He adds that when the Cyttora sense items that have been broken or misaligned, they instinctively begin to repair them.
'You summoned us here to watch a bunch of creepy homunculi build a wall?' Quicksilver frowns, folding his arms. 'We were in the middle of something imporant -' Quicksilver mutters, while Synapse watches the Cyttora with intrigue and exclaims 'Holy crap, Pietro! They're so cute!' but Quicksilver tells her that they are not. Wanda tells her brother that, after all these years, he should give more respect to Eldritch power. 'Why should I?' Quicksilver reports, before declaring that sorcery has brought nothing to his life but frustration and pain. 'Would that I could rid the world of it and save you from its thrall, my dear sister' Pietro adds. 'You're on quite a tear, Pietro' Synapse remarks as she puts a hand on Quicksilver's shoulder. 'Mark my words, Emily...magic sucks!' Quicksilver shouts as the six Avengers group together – and suddenly, the Mighty Juggernaut appears above them – and begins to fall straight down on top of them!

Stars & Garters, part two: Broken Bones
minutes earlier:
A SHIELD jet soars across New York, where, inside the jet, Cain Marko the Unstoppable Juggernaut is held captive in high-tech restraints. 'Y'know...you guys seems a bit antsy.  I'm getting the distinct feeling you don't like me' Cain frowns from behind his armor. Cain looks down to one SHIELD agent and remarks that he gets it – he knows if this techno-doohickey keeping him locked down drops for even a second, he will punch their faces into pulp and crash this worthless wing-bucket. 'Uh...' the SHIELD agent begins, but his colleague tells him to ignore the prisoner, and that Cain Marko is ticked off because he got his butt handed to him by Iceman. “Nobody stops the Juggernaut” the other agent mocks. 'You got taken out by Frosty the $%#&*%!^ snowman!' the SHIELD agent laughs. 'Yer real confident, pal. Ready for anything, right? How about -' Juggernaut begins as he strains hard to break through the bonds that lock him in place. 'NOOOO!' one of the SHIELD agents calls out, worried that the powerful criminal is about to escape. Juggernaut laughs, and tells the agent that he thinks he is going to need to change his pants.
At that moment, elsewhere, the heroic sorcerer called Doctor Voodoo utters 'Beyond dimensions and across the land – Cyttorak's servants, heed my command'.

Juggernaut glances sideways and asks 'That's weird. Did you guys hear that?' Energy begins to whirl around the Juggernaut and the SHIELD agents become worried. 'Do something! Stop him!' one of them calls out. 'Looks like I gotta go... later, losers!' Juggernaut exclaims as he suddenly vanishes. 'Does this mean we're fired?' one of the agents asks her colleagues.
Now:
Avengers Mansion, where a shadow falls across several Avengers who are watching the Mansion be rebuilt. 'Oh, no -!' Jericho Drumm a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo utters as he looks up – and sees the Juggernaut fall towards him and his teammates. The Juggernaut shouts 'HA! Thanks fer breaking me free, ya chumps! Saved me the trouble of doing it myself!' as he lands among the Avengers, knocking Doctor Voodoo backwards into Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch, while Rogue is flung into the air, and Jan van Dyne the Wasp falls to her side. Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver is knocked over, while Emily Guerrero a.k.a. Synapse is able to leap backwards, out of harm's way. As the Juggernaut pulls his fist back, ready to slam into the ground again, Quicksilver speeds towards Synapse, 'Emily – watch out!' he exclaims as he grabs her in his arms and speeds away.
'Juggernaut! What's he doing here?' the Wasp calls out as she shrinks down to insect size and takes flight. 'Loa preserve me' Doctor Voodoo utters as he casts a spell to erect a force field in front of himself and Wanda, protecting them from the Juggernaut. But it's no use, as the Juggernaut slams his fist through the force field, 'Don't mess with me, magic man! I'll wreck you!' the Juggernaut calls out. Wanda casts a hex towards the Juggernaut, 'Stand down or my hexes will -' she begins, knocking the Juggernaut back for a moment, but the Juggernaut recovers and reaches for Wanda's face, 'The power of Cyttorak's bigger than whatever you're slinging, lady!' he boasts, before Rogue comes between them, 'Marko...you picked the wrong team to mess with' she tells Juggernaut as she pushes him back, then throws him out of the Mansion grounds, where he lands on a car parked on the street, flattening the car upon impact. 'Try that again, ya skunk-haired wench!' Juggernaut shouts back, while some civilians run in fear.
The Wasp flies over to Rogue and asks her what the plan is. Rogue declares that they have to isolate Juggernaut and lock him down. She instructs the Wasp to fly into Juggernaut's helmet and distract him, before telling Wanda and Voodoo to get a barrier ready, something strong and ordering Quicksilver and Synapse to clear bystanders and keep them clear. 'Forget it, Rogue! Let the magicians play janitor while Emily and I handle this lunkhead! We'll stop him before anyone gets hurt!' Quicksilver calls out as he carries Synapse while speeding towards the street outside the Mansion grounds. 'Are you sure?' Synapse asks. 'Of course!' Quicksilver smiles, while Rogue shouts 'Quicksilver! No!' as the Juggernaut hurls a car up into the air. 'Headstrong as always...' the Wasp remarks as she flies alongside Rogue. 'Damn fool's gonna get 'em both killed!' Rogue exclaims.
As the mysterious Cyytora creatures continue to rebuild the Mansion, seemingly oblivious to what is going on around them, Voodoo rubs his head and remarks that Juggernaut is powered by the magic of Cyttorak, just like the Cyttorak he brought here to fix the Mansion, so he supposes that he summoned Juggernaut here. 'It's all my fault' Voodoo admits. Wanda puts a hand on Voodoo's arm and tells him that they don't have time for blame, not now, and that lives are at stake.
'Pietro, you don't have to do this to impress me...' Synapse utters as Quicksilver continues to carry her towards the Juggernaut. 'Nonsense!' Pietro replies, smiling at Emily as he looks into her eyes. 'That's just a happy byproduct of our impending victory. We'll stop him cold and get proper praise for a change' Pietro adds. Juggernaut sees Quicksilver racing towards him and calls out 'Okay, speed freak! Come over here so I can swat ya!' He raises a car overhead while Quicksilver informs Synapse that Juggernaut's body is invulnerable, but his mind is putty, and without his helmet, he is useless. Quicksilver speeds in front of the Juggernaut, then drops Synapse off nearby as he boasts that he will remove the helmet, and then Synapse can enter Juggernaut's mind and put him to sleep. 'Got it!' Synapse calls back  as she watches Quicksilver run up onto the Juggernaut's body and start punching away at his helmet – and an instant later, Quicksilver drops to the ground, spinning the Juggernaut's helmet around by his finger. 'Voila!' Pietro smirks.
'Wait – he's not vulnerable!' Rogue shouts as she and the Wasp fly onto the scene. 'He's got a second helmet!' Rogue announces as a smaller helmet can be seen covering the Juggernaut's head. 'What?' the surprised Quicksilver asks, turning to see Juggernaut looming over Synapse, 'Oh, God! I can't -' Synapse begins, before the Juggernaut slams his fist into her, knocking the young Inhuman across the pavement with a powerful KRAK! 'NO!' Quicksilver gasps, wide-eyed. 'DAAAMN YOU!' Quicksilver exclaims as he runs straight towards the Juggernaut and slams into his armored body. 'Nice try, speedy' the Juggernaut frowns as Quicksilver bounces off the Juggernaut and lands on the ground nearby.
'You haven't wont yet!' the Wasp calls out as she flies over to the villain and blasts him with her wasp's sting. 'Yer annoying, Wasp, I'll give you that' the Juggernaut mutters, before telling her that he is ready for her now, which means he isn't going to move. Rogue then punches the Juggernaut in his armored chest, while back on the Mansion grounds, Voodoo commands the Cyttorak to do his bidding, informing them that their skills are needed elsewhere this day, he motions towards the Juggernaut, and the Cyttorak turn away from the Mansion they are rebuilding, while Wanda calls out to Rogue, telling her to bring the Juggernaut back here. 'Easier... said... than done!' Rogue calls back as she tries to push the Juggernaut onto the Mansion grounds. 'Push all you want. I'm stronger than you...' Juggernaut grins. 'It's true...so Ah'll stop pushing...and let your weight...do all the work!' Rogue replies as she suddenly lets go, and the surprised Juggernaut suddenly falls backwards, through the fence surrounding the Mansion grounds.
Voodoo hovers in the air as the Cyttorak close in around the Juggernaut. 'Another break, another tear – the fix I require is over there!' Voodoo tells the Cyttorak. 'HEY!'' the Juggernaut calls out as the Cyttorak gather aroiund him and begin clawing at his armored body. 'QUIT IT!' the Juggernaut shouts, overwhelmed by the strange creatures who keep repeating 'Cye' and 'Toe' over and over. Suddenly, 'I give up! Make 'em stop!' the Juggernaut declares, pleading with the Avengers. Rogue and the Wasp look in shock, as the Wasp points out that the Cyttorak are sealing Juggernaut inside his armor. Cain Marko screams, while Voodoo frowns at him, before he and Wanda hover at either side of the imprisoned Juggernaut, casting a spell, Voodoo utters 'Return at once, through the rift...depart, dear friends, and enjoy this gift!' The Cyttorak continue their chant, as they and Juggernaut begin to disappear through the portal, with the Juggernaut shouting 'I sweeeeaaarrr -' before he vanishes.
'Whew...it is done' Voodoo utters as he, Wanda, the Wasp and Rogue gather together. But Rogue goes wide-eyed when she looks over and sees Quicksilver and Synapse. 'No. not yet it isn't...we got an Avenger down' Rogue utters as she sees several civilians gather around Quicksilver, who is cradling the unmoving Synapse in his arms.
Four hours later, in a hospital waiting room, Wanda, Voodoo, Rogue and the Wasp sit together, while Quicksilver sits several seats away from them. The Wasp asks if there is any word from Johnny Storm, but Rogue tells her that there is nothing yet, although he has always been bad about checking his phone, and this legal stuff has his head scrambled. The four of them get to their feet when a doctor approaches them, thanking them for their patience, as the Wasp asks him what the prognosis is. The doctor reports that Synapse is stable. 'Thank God' Rogue smiles, while Wanda and Voodoo hug. However, the doctor informs the Avengers that it is not good news – that their friend suffered multiple fractures, torn muscles and internal bleeding – so recovery will be difficult. Quicksilver grips the edge of the seat he is sitting on as one of the Avengers asks if they can see Synapse. The doctor tells them that they can't straight away, as Synapse is heavily sedated, but he will notify them once she is conscious. Quicksilver gets to his feet when the doctor tells the Avengers that, given Synapse's abnormal physiology, he is recommending she be transferred to an Inhuman-run facility where she can be treated by specialists.
'I need to see her' Quicksilver declares as he steps in front of the doctor, who reminds him that he just said now is not the time. 'I don't give a damn what you -' Quicksilver replies, before Rogue grabs him by his shoulder and tells him that he has done enough. Clenching his fists, the frustrated Quicksilver spins around and snaps 'You do not speak for me!' to which Rogue tells him that she does if he wants to stay on this team. 'So, now Rogue wants to be leader, just like that! Great! I've been an Avenger longer than anyone here! Does that mean nothing?' Quicksilver asks. 'Excuse me? I'm a Founder, you moron' the Wasp declares, putting her hands on her hips. Voodoo tells Quicksilver that seniority does not determine leadership as he puts a hand on Quicksilver's shoulder. 'Fine, so Rogue is purest of us all, then?' Quicksilver asks. Voodoo tells him that his pain is understandable, but that it does not excuse his behavior, and calls him his friend. “Friend?” Quicksilver coughs back. 'Come, Wanda, I think we've had enough of this mismanaged group of ingrates...' Quicksilver calls out to his sister.
'No. your ego blinds you tro the truth, Pietro. It always has' Wanda interrupts her brother, who frowns. 'Synapse nearly died because of you, and you alone. Until you accept that and atone for it, you will not be welcome here' Wanda declares. Quicksilver rubs a tear from his eyes, before he speeds away. The four remaining Avengers stand in silence, before Wanda tells Rogue that she will stand with her – if she will have her, and Voodoo adds that he will do the same. 'You already know I'm on board' the Wasp adds. Rogue tells the others that she appreciates their support, before the Wasp asks where they go from here. Rogue looks out a window as she announces that it is pretty straight forward – now they try to fix things.
And, in one of the wards, Synapse lies still on the bed where is is connected to a machine to help her breathe. One of her legs is in a cast, an arm is in a sling, while the other arm is bandaged – and tucked under her hand is a note with her name on the envelope, “Emily”.
