World on Fire
1944, Poland: The Red Skull scornfully tosses a Russian prisoner to the ground, announcing he has served his purpose. A Russian scientist of some renown, he has been intimately involved with their secret eugenics program. Don’t bother denying it. These names… these families will never experience the light he has shown them. In addition, he will be the first to experience the extermination technology he will be using in camps currently being built all along the Ostfront. In that respect, he is truly a pioneer. The Skull leaves the man alone in his cell. Energy glows from the walls, engulfing the man who is disintegrated.
Some time ago:Via text message, Ultimate Nullifier tells Miss America she has style and asks if she wants to hook up. He is not her type, she replies. Not what he meant but he digs the attitude. Let’s talk! he suggests.
Now:Miss America Chavez has freed the teenage Inbetweener and now both are attacked by demonic creatures who can hurt even her. America drops the boy.
Ultimate Nullifier contacts her, asking what is going on. Hold that thought! she orders and flies after the Inbetweener.
Angel Salvadore announces she’s tapped into the weather sat feeds here. They’re going nuts. Those things are throwing off some mean frequencies.
America grabs the boy’s foot. Enough of this crap, she decides and busts loose. This is getting real old real fast, she complains. Ultimate Nullifier tells her, for Galactus’ sake, protect the package!
The monsters have had enough and disappear. She okay? Ultimate Nullifier asks. Hell yes, She’s always ok! America rejoins.
In McKeesport, Devlin DeAngelo is selling the Young Masters a clubhouse, formerly a HYDRA base. Executioner warns him not to call the place a clubhouse again. DeAngelo asks who the others are. Egghead, Radioactive Kid, Black Knight and Mako. Radioactive Kid boasts they will burn the world down. Black Knight thinks she could hack Avengers Tower from here. Executioner asks who pulls his strings. Same benefactor they got, he replies.
Elsewhere:Miss America arrives back with the Inbetweener to find the others packing up. Tougher to hit a moving target, Ultimate Nullifier reminds her and welcomes the Inbetweener, who apologizes for not quite being himself yet. Ultimate Nullifier introduces himself, Miss America, Angel and Barnell. They are the Teen Brigade.
The Inbetweener sinks down exhausted. So much life. He can feel it all around him… But war chooses its soldiers, not the others way round. He names the war, they’ve probably influenced the outcome, Ultimate Nullifier boasts while muttering to America he hates it when somebody sits in his chair. America smirks.
Somebody wanted them to pull him out of that pit in Nevada. Mission accomplished. Now what? One cannot simply sit back and wait for things to stabilize, the boy rants. Apathy is a symptom of chaos. He’s not gonna find a lot of apathy around here, America scoffs. Not in theory anyway, Angel remarks as she carries some stuff. He could have gotten lucky and hooked up with the big guns like the Avengers or the FF. Instead, it’s this outfit.
Two boys take away the chair the boy is sitting on. Beak informs the others they have found a new nesting spot in a suburb of Chicago. Multiple routes have already been confirmed and uploaded. But considering their guest, maybe they should find a more remote area. Ultimate Nullifier decides they are fine. They have the fire power to fight off any kind of alien invasion. Angel and Beak get in the car. The Inbetweener asks that he thought they were heroes. More like behind the scenes assistance, America tells him. Most times the heroes don’t even know they are there. And you couldn’t pay her to join the Avengers!
Amen, sister, Angel mocks. Who needs respect? She and Barnell enter the car with Barnell having to leave the steering wheel and radio to her.
Ultimate Nullifier continues that it’s worth seeing beyond those rose-colored glasses, to really look and see how it all works. To see the strings. An entire world hanging upside down.
On Long Island, Kyle Richmond addresses the Defenders. They all know there are plenty of secrets floating around these days. Maybe the most dangerous are the ones forgotten. That doesn’t make them any less potent. Someone has been funneling classified SHIELD files out of ancillary datastreams. Various cloud networks and whatnots. Funneling them to where and who they don’t know. Yet. Naturally certain people are worried about stuff being out in the open.
And that’s where they come in? She-Hulk asks. Chasing stolen information? Weren’t they taking down Gargantus yesterday? Kyle replies the two aren’t that far apart.
Joaquin Pennyworth explains the information deals with certain black files even Norman Osborn kept hidden away when he was in charge. Things that exist, but can’t be explained. Kyle continues their contact doesn’t buy the idea that it’s simply enemy spy bickerings intel-
Krang interjects he hopes they don’t waste their time meddling in air breather politics. They practice nothing but an annoying brand of entropy. Joaquin suggests they find the leak.
Daimon Hellstrom reveals that there is something else which may require their attention. Something much more dangerous than these secrets they seem to be sweating over. Daimon smirks: his lineage leaves him open to certain… perceptions. He tends to see things in a, shall they say, quantum-dimensional manner. In English? She-Hulk asks, rolling her eyes.
Every dimension across the blood-soaked spectrum of reality, all at once. The known… and the unknown. Last night, he experienced a fever dream. He saw a blizzard of darkness piercing their physical plane. Evil… soulless and wretched and laser-focused. They are a virus and must be dealt with before their infection spreads.
Okay, Kyle decides, nobody does weird better than them. Pennyworth agrees, donning the Nighthawk helmet.
Elsewhere in a huge hall, a pleased Radioactive Kid looks at the guard he just killed with his touch while Black Knight looks something up on Hacknet, but finds nothing. The facility must be way classified, she decides. Maybe their fearless leader actually knows what he’s doing.
Flashback:Executioner announces it’s not the way it used to be. There is no Masters of Evil for them to join. No Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The Circus of Crime is a joke. That’s why they exist – the next generation of evil bastards. And they are about to announce themselves to the world in a big bad way.
Does it involve murder? Mako asks hopefully. Executioner announces it does and asks if anyone knows the myth of the Fisher King. He knows the movie. Does that count? Egghead asks.
Present: Gotta love that Egghead, Black Knight mutters. She’ll never know why he took that name. Then again, legacy is kind of a broad area. Radioactive Kid agrees. He doesn’t even know the original Radioactive Man. That guy was a turncoat anyway. Another example of the old guard dying off.
Elsewhere in the facility, surrounded by more dead guards, Executioner critically looks at the body they came for. He’s disappointed the rumors are true and he’s dead. Mako suggests they take the body. Executioner figures they still can take credit for the kill.
Egghead warns Mako not to eat it and adds Bullseye sleeps with the fishes. Executioner tells them to show some respect. Bullseye fought wars in the streets and he’ll bet he went out in a blaze of glory!
Outside, suddenly, the other two are caught in a smoke bomb. A wall explodes. Mako is shot. Children at play, Lady Bullseye scoffs. They have no rights to claim here.
Who is she calling children? Executioner shouts. She elegantly dodges their attacks, lands in front of Executioner and kicks him in the face. She dodges his blows, enraging him further. Ignoring his treats, she walks to the dais, addressing the corpse: Magnificent warrior. All the confusion, all the tragedy he put her through. Lady Bullseye forgives him. She sits astride him. He was great once. He shall be great again.
When Mako tries to attack her from behind, she decapitates him without even bothering to look. Coolly, she informs the others that the Kingpin didn’t send her. They are not on his radar but now they are on hers. They have no business here. This one is not a toy for their amusement. He is hers. She straddles him again. While Eggface wonders whether she is about to do what he thinks, Executioner leads him out.
Elsewhere:The Inbetweener stands on a rooftop. Ultimate Nullifier joins him, telling him not to let the view fool him. Too much personal introspection gives you ulcers. He’s free, he’s safe, just go with it.
He thinks he is beginning to remember who he is, the boy replies. He is that which attracts both serenity and chaos. They fill those extreme spaces and all the spaces inbetween. There is some great destiny at work here. They have to understand what’s at stake. He can show them.
Elsewhere:What are you looking at? Doctor Octopus snarls in his lair.

Every Little Thing
In mind-link with the In-Betweener:He’s not sure that he belongs here, Beak mutters, touching a book called The X in Sex Ed.
The secret of survival is balance, the In-Betweener announces.
Trapped by an illusion of Mr. Fantastic, Ultimate Nullifier shouts, asking if someone can pull the trigger on the end of the world?
It was like another life, the In-Betweener continues, but he feels its echoes in his head. He guesses nothing turns out the way he thought it would, because they are all out now. Like your bedroom overrun with spiders.
She never shoulda grown up! an illusion of her father shouts at Angel Salvadore, holding a belt in his hand. She is sick!
Underwater, Ultimate Nullifier fights an octopus.
Reality:Elsewhere, Ms. America attacks something muttering about being out as bait.
In mind-link with the In-Betweener:The other Teen Brigade members are having weird flashbacks and possible glimpses into the future, as the In-Betweener continues to explain about the balance. Forget about the abstract concept they are taught at school. Naïve assumptions of good and evil. Those are for babies’ bedtime stories. Balance has everything to do with order and chaos.
He’s talking to them about balance? Nullifier shouts. Does he know who he is?
He is not really feeling this, Beak groans, looking like his former mutant self. Angel asks him to hold her hand. She is having weird flashbacks.
Is that his ugly inner self? Ultimate Nullifier asks Beak, or is he just projecting some kind of subconscious thing? Angel shoves Nullifier and orders him to back off. He compliments the wings she is displaying again.
The In-Betweener explains that, in this place, they exist as everything they’ve ever been. Just relax and let it carry them along. Makes accepting the truth much easier.
It started as a place to figure things out, he explains. To take a little breath once in a while. He can’t remember where they sprang from. Some unholy lifeforms obsessed with the same balance that runs all of existence. Creatures of shadow and death, they are the Braak’n’hüd. The final solution was to absorb them into his own physical being. To once again become the environment that had been created to contain them. Like he said in another life. Ultimate Nullifier points out, they are vulnerable and the In-Betweener reminds him they gave Ms. America his energy signature to distract their foes.
In the meantime, their physical bodies are sitting in a diner, deep in trance.
In the other place, Angel complains they shouldn’t have come here. Ultimate Nullifier compares it to the best gameshow ever played. They can interpret it as they want, the In-Betweener explains. All he knows is the Balance is being threatened.
By an octopus? Angel shouts looking at the energy character in front of her. The In-Betweener warns, the Braak’n’hüd are not the only ones seeking to destroy the Balance. This will involve choices on their part. Some that are against their better judgment. Barnell still doesn’t get why the Braaknwhat are after him. Revenge, the In-Betweener replies. He remembers he couldn’t contain them forever. When they burst free, he was shattered from the inside out. Even in this form, only his extermination will satisfy them.
Beak points out the universe needs him to be healthy. Order and chaos. It’s a chocolate and peanut butter thing, right? Angel adds. They have a certain way of doing things, Ultimate Nullifier points out, as he grabs one of his guns. As long as that’s clear. Order AND chaos….
The In-Betweener explains the Balance has to be maintained or all of reality collapses. It’s down to them. Sounds about right, Ultimate Nullifier agrees. Another shot at greatness, another notch on the belts of the heroes people never knew about. Assemble, Motherforbushers!
Elsewhere:Old Larry returns to his home in the Bowery, hopeful about the Teen Brigade. He realizes someone has broken into his home and asks if they are giving him options. Of course, Agent Young, Nighthawk announces. He can either come peacefully…
Larry attacks as he shouts at him not to call him Agent Young. His choice, Nighthawk replies and fights back as he rattles down the fact he knows about Larry.
A man standing in the background sighs as Nighthawk wipes the floor with the older man. Larry warns Nighthawk he doesn’t know who he is dealing with. Actually he does, the man in the background, Kyle Richmond, corrects him. He suggests they walk out, get a drink and talk. Must be more comfortable than getting beaten up by someone ten years younger, right, Larry? Or should he say Jack Truman?
Flashback:1944, Poland:The Red Skull is having a very special camp built. His people assure him the reactors will be ready by nightfall. He demands up to date reports about the lightning squads delivering the final families from Kaluga. From this point on, there will be no more communiques sent from within these camps. Nothing to betray their locations. Even der Fuehrer must never know.
The men open the doors to a hangar as the Skull scoffs they think they are special. They have been scientifically engineered to go forward and inherit the Earth. A sad Russian power fantasy that ends right here. To begin, they shall effectively deal with the first generation of eugenic test subjects. He looks e of hovering naked prisoners, children all. And then they will deal with their sorgenkinder.
Right now:Ms. America is being overwhelmed by Brak’n’hüd, proving their plan worked. That moment, a flying chariot of fire appears in the sky carrying Daimon Hellstrom, Krang and the She-Hulk, following a threat Hellstrom dreamed about. She-Hulk jumps down to join the fray. Hellstrom booms these beasts are not worthy one iota of mercy, and they are the first line of defense. Hellstrom also flies downwards blasting them and Krang urges him to burn them out of the sky.
America flies downward to catch She –Hulk, while scoffing about the first line of defense remark. Does she know her? She-Hulk asks. America doubts it. They watch the Brak’n’hüd fly off. America figures the magic has worn off and they’ve realized she isn’t who they thought she was. She flies She-Hulk toward to the chariot and suggests next time she keep her seatbelt on. She-Hulk asks who she is but America just flies off. She-Hulk worries about how young she looks.
Beak and Angel, in the meantime, are confronting Dr. Octopus. Angel is aggressive, Beak more polite. Octavius assures them he is a mere shadow of what he was, though Angel doesn’t buy it and Octavius begins to bluster. She warns him this crib isn’t secure and he has a fat target on his back.
The whole thing is watched by two Young Masters. Executioner feels sorry for Octopus. He was great once, he laments. Radioactive Kid suggests they put him out of his misery. That moment they are called by Black Knight, who informs them there is big trouble. Namely that Doctor Octopus got himself protection, she shouts, as she tries to dodge the car the Rhino throws at her.
From a rooftop, another protector, Electro, watches the events, until he is shot by Ultimate Nullifier.
Inside, Angel and Barnell assure Doc Ock that they have their people in the field looking out for him.
Outside, Ultimate Nullifier beats up a depowered Electro. Egghead rises through the rooftop. He is messing with their mandate, he informs him, or making it easier for them. He can’t decide which.
Inside, Doctor Octopus still blusters at Angel and Barnell, threatening them if they interfere in his plans. Barnell makes it clear they aren’t interested. The universe for some reason still wants him in it.
Outside, Black Knight has beaten Rhino and, not far away, Ultimate Nullifier takes out Egghead.
Black Knight finds herself attacked by the Sandman and about to be saved by Nullifier. Instead of a ‘thank you’ he gets hit by her sword. The other Young Masters join the battle and Radioacvtive Kid touches Nullifier in the face with his burning touch…

Drive All Night
New Jack City:Radioactive Kid of the Young Masters has just burned parts of Ultimate Nullifier’s face with his touch and gloats he’s gonna remember him next time he looks into a mirror. His fellow Young Master Executioner warns him Ultimate Nullifier could still be dangerous.
This proves correct, as Nullifier fires one of his guns at Radioactive Kid, while Beak calls Ms. America for help. America arrives and flies down at Executioner a moment before he can shoot Ultimate Nullifier.
Executioner begins to realize these guys aren’t Doc Ock’s foot soldiers. Radioactive Kid in the meantime has become normal and powerless, thanks to Ultimate Nullifier’s gun.
A little later, the Young Masters gather in their headquarters and come to the conclusion that, without Mako, they might be lacking the muscle they need. Radioactive Kid is relieved that his depowering turns out to be only temporary.
When Black Knight arrives, the other two blame her for not being with them during the battle, while Egghead enjoys the bickering. Black Knight shoots back she doesn’t see Otto’s head hanging anywhere around here, so she guesses they totally botched their part of the mission. So what, he’s gonna try execute her, fearless leader? she mocks. Executioner bristles. Unimpressed, she tells him to back off and boasts about laying out the Rhino.
Executioner mocks her attempt to fight as cute. He never asked where she got her Ebony Blade. She’ll never tell, she retorts, as she sheathes her blade. She’s had enough fighting for one day. Who were the guys in Ock’s crew? Wild cards, Egghead mutters.
Black Knight hopes their failure isn’t going to be held against them. Executioner replies, apparently not. They just got an info dump that will push them to the next level. Big words, she points out. He remarks she will fall in line when Loki will be sitting at the table with them. Aiming kind of high, she muses. Executioner asks if she has seen Loki lately. He is just a kid. Wistfully, Radioactive Kid wishes he was still a chick. She was hot!
Executioner continues that their mysterious backer is still looking out for them. Aside from some boring historical intel he believes relates to their profession, he knows exactly where Loki’s gonna be and when. So maybe the kid will pick a side. Having a bonafide god on the roster wouldn’t suck.
Flashback:Poland,1945:The Red Skull looks over his private camp. He gets word that Hitler wants him back in Berlin. The Allies are closing in. Red Skull figures that includes Captain America and is intrigued. If Berlin falls, Operation Der Tag must be put into effect and only he can do that. Clearly, he is the future of the Third Reich, what he has done here proves that. But his work is done. The next war awaits.
Present:Kyle Richmond, the new Nighthawk, and former agent Jack Truman (aka Larry) sit in a bar. The two Defenders want to know why Truman pilfered the black files from various SHIELD sources. He guesses he couldn’t just go quietly into that good night. Of course, he didn’t retire the normal way. Richmond agrees. He is the mind of one agent that exists in the body of another. How’s that work?
Long story, Truman replies evasively. Let’s just say he saved a few lives as the prime SHIELD Manhunter. Designated Agent 18. He was sexy as hell and no one could touch him. Until he was tapped to bring in the rogue mutant Cable, a telekinetic who gave as good as he got. Their encounter landed him half dead in the “extechop division,” where they transplanted what was left of him into a cybernetic death machine they thought they could control. Wasn’t the best fit for him, so he used an old Tibetan technique to switch places with good old Larry Young. Only problem with that body… It’s obvious. He refers to the fact is isn’t very young. Unfazed, Richmond muses he’s been through a brainswitch himself. It’s an occupational hazard, Truman agrees and Pennyworth wonders if this is something he has to look forward to. Kyle tells him not to worry. He provides medical, remember?
Still trying to get the whole story, he continues that the mind of the real agent Young is now in the cyborg’s body? Is that safe? Truman doesn‘t think there is much to worry about. Last he heard, he couldn’t keep his hands on the wheel. Apparently, state of the art cybernetics and Luxco’s finest don’t exactly mix. And without the Extechop boys around to provide proper maintenance, he won’t last long. He doubts Young is upright, much less a threat to anyone.
Pennyworth aggressively asks if reckless behavior is just in his nature. So he is providing intel to God knows who. He does what he can, Nighthawk, Truman replies mockingly. There’s a lot out there that gets missed and someone’s got to clean up the mess. Kyle promises they’ll get to that and suggests a toast to cleaning up the world’s mess.
Pacha, NYC, a club:Ultimate Nullifier gets in there to find Black Knight. America accuses him via text message of having a crush. He finds her on the dance floor. He assures America she will join them. Any particular reason he thinks that? she asks. Because he is so pretty, he replies.
Black Knight looks up to see Nullifier’s bandaged face. She carefully touches his face and they dance closely.
A little later, Nullifier accompanies her to her team’s secret HQ. Classy digs, he mocks. He can’t understand why they don’t hang here all the time. She replies she doesn’t pay for it. Finances come from someone behind the scenes. He guesses they’d have to, Nullifier muses. Her team isn’t exactly playing to get rich. Getting at their fellow baddies to establish their rep. He can dig it. It’s looking pretty old and tired out there. She doesn’t care about that stuff, she retorts sharply. She has her own problems.
She begins removing his bandages. She wants to see what they did to him. What does she think? he retorts sharply, as she reveal the burns. Still, beauty’s only skin deep. They are about to kiss.
In the meantime, Black Knight’s teammates are at the Met in New York. They have no idea why he’d be holed up here but they have to trust their intel, right? Radioactive Kid worries what if he is not into the idea. Are they ready to rumble? Executioner sharply tells him the three of them can handle his. If the Black Knight thinks she has something better to do…
As they exit the van, Radioactive Kid complains she is starting to piss him off. Executioner replies, if this works out, they won’t even need her. So be cool in there, they don’t want to spook him. Egghead opines he has Young Masters written all over him. Time to ragnarok and roll! They stand in front of the building. This is one of those defining moments, isn’t it? Radioactive Kid wonders and then spoils the moment by announcing he has to pee.
Inside, Kid Loki is taking in an exhibition about Viking culture and finds himself displeased to see he is no longer alone. Executioner marvels that he is really a kid then quickly assures Loki they are not here to cause trouble. Someone who prefers to remain anonymous tipped them off he’d be here. They’ve got a proposition for him.
A proposition for him? Loki repeats unimpressed. Poor Ikol, what does he see in these children? he asks his raven adviser, who replies he sees evil. Loki agrees. And he doesn’t find it quite as refreshing as Ikol probably does. He knows he is supposed to be a god or whatever. Executioner stumbles, then asks is he here to party or what?
The ground rumbles as Egghead notes, courtesy of Miss America crashing in through the roof. So much for a quiet evening on Midgard, Kid Loki observes. No wonder his brother spends so much time here.
Executioner fires his weapon at her. Bullets bounce off an unimpressed America. Radioactive Kid too wants to go in for the kill. America stomps the ground, making them both lose their footing.
She turns to Loki, announcing, she’s here to make sure they don’t… Loki interrupts he has little interest in her motives. But, seeing she has come here to play, he might as well provide something substantial for her to play with. A giant monstrous goat appears and glares at her, before it attacks a pissed off America who groans it wasn’t supposed to go down like this.
Flashback:The young In-Betweener tells America, Angel and Barnell the young god exists between the extremes of order and chaos. As such, he doesn’t believe Loki poses much of a threat.
Present:Loki remarks she must forgive Toothgnasher, if he comes across as too aggressive. Of the two of them, he is the more temperamental. In the meantime, he has another surprise. He holds up a small, metal golem and explains that this realm is full of magical trinkets. He collects them.You never know when they might come in useful.
America swears in panic as she kicks Toothgnasher. This is humiliating! Loki awakens the Screaming Idol and America is sent away screaming. Now where were they? Loki asks. The Young Master gush and Egghead wants to hire him on the spot. Loki assumes the girl was not with them. Executioner explains they were hoping he’s a kindred spirit. They are the next generation; the future. It’s not just the heroes out there. It’s their own kind. They are old and tired and don’t know what they are doing. They’ve got a mandate, Egghead adds, to burn it all down and dance in the ashes. They ask Loki to join them.
Not exactly subtle, are they? Loki mocks gently. But he thinks his involvement with them would send the wrong message. And they are welcome for his disposing of the intruder. She has gone far from here. He knows it is difficult for their mortal kind to think in several dimensions. It takes a leap of faith. And she has just taken a big leap.
America gets her bearings and stares into an alien sun.
Elsewhere, Angel and Barnell panic as their systems have lost contact with America. They turn to the In-Betweener, who just announces the Balance is precarious. Permanent damage is imminent. Angel isn’t having it and announces they must take action. The In-Betweener agrees, then fades away. Angel and Barnell hug as they wonder if they are all that’s left and what they can do.

“Run”  - part 1
The Suit carries Lt. Patricia Robertson through the Canadian arctic, as she is exhausted from her first confrontation with the Venom creature. Patricia wakes up, and falls off of The Suit’s back, as she is surprised to be alive. The Suit tells her that they are roughly 75 miles southeast of her previous location, and that the must intercept the creature before it reaches civilization. The Suit tells her to eat, and hands her a can of tuna. Patricia is confused, as The Suit was the one who shot her. The Suit admits to shooting her, and tells her to move quickly. Patricia insists on contacting the U.S. Army about the situation, but The Suit refuses to allow it. Patricia flings the tuna aside and screams that the “thing” killed her friends and is about to do the same thing to civilization. She insists that the U.S. military can do a better job than The Suit, but he responds by pressing a button on his cell phone that knocks her out. The Suit retrieves the tuna and continues carrying Patricia through the Rocky Mountains. He presses a few more buttons, and his phone reads “Target Located.”
As they reach a wooded area, The Suit notices a dead wolf. He scans the area with his phone, and finds an entire pack of dead wolves tied up in symbiotic webbing. He finds a clump of hair in the webbing, and scans it, revealing that it belongs to a Kodiak bear. He scans for the bear, thinking that the bear may be infected by the symbiote. He doesn’t have to look far, as the bear sneaks up to attack from behind. However, a scan reveals that the bear is not infected, and The Suit uses the phone on the bear, sending it away. A mechanical noise can be heard, and The Suit pushes a few buttons, making himself and Patricia invisible. A mysterious ship appears over the area.
On board the ship, the two pilots talk. One woman says that they have negative contact. The other says “No big deal. We’ll find it sooner or later. It’s not like we don’t know where it’s going.”
The Suit and Patricia reappear. The Suit makes a call on the phone, saying that the situation is now more complicated, as there are others searching for the creature. The Suit says that they will reach the settlement by dawn, but the creature may already be there. The Suit looks at Patricia, and says that he has a contingency plan.
Voici, Northwest Territories, Canada:At a small house in the middle of nowhere, a man named Clem shows up, and another man named Orrie answers the door. A dead bird is in the snow. Orrie tells Clem that he was just killing time until he showed up. Clem and Orrie talk about their poker game, and Clem wonders where everyone else is. Orrie tells him that they’re all in the back. Clem seems anxious that they started without him. Orrie tells him that Clem is the “life of the party!” Clem opens the back door, finding his friends all dead in their chairs. The voice changes, saying “Hey Clem… you still feeling lucky?” Orrie changes into Venom. Clem bolts for the door, slipping on gasoline. Venom calls Clem back, insisting that Clem has one god scream left in him. Clem screams, and Venom slaughters him. Venom then takes Clem’s form, steals his snowmobile, and heads for the town.
Inside Bob’s Bar, the two ship pilots order water. The bartender informs them that there are maybe a hundred and fifty people in the area, mostly pipeline workers. A man at the bar tells them that they “ain’t from around here, are ya?” The women look at him, and ask “How’d you guess?”
Wolverine looks up and says “I just know these things.”

“Run”  - part 3
As Frankie holds a gun to Lt. Robertson’s head, she sees a flash of light behind her, which is distracting. Robertson takes advantage, sweeping Frankie’s legs and kicking her in the head. The kick reveals that Frankie’s hair is actually a wig. As Robertson picks up the gun, Frankie tells her that it was a bad idea – the gun is empty. Robertson runs.As Venom was about to merge with Wolverine, The Suit fired his weapon, knocking Logan out. Venom says that he wanted Logan. Suit replies that this is that reason for rendering Logan useless. Venom replies that Logan will heal. Suit replies that he has all the time he needs, as too many have died, and it is time to end this. Vic fires a shot at Suit, making him drop his weapon. Vic removes her wig, revealing cybernetic enhancements. She claims that none have suffered more than she has. Venom looks over its shoulder, seeing Vic: “Prettyyyyy…” Suit explains that Vic has been modified so that if Venom joins with her, she will take control of the symbiote. Vic replies that she has been waiting for Venom her whole life. As Venom ponders the situation, an old man walks out of the cookhouse, trying to go home. Everyone freezes, as Venom grins. Vic tries to kill the old man quickly before Venom can attach itself to him, but Venom wraps itself around Vic’s bullet, which hits the man, allowing the symbiote to take over a new host. Venom uses the opportunity to escape through the cookhouse. Rats and insects begin to consume the bodies outside.Vic warns Frankie that the symbiote is on the move again. The Suit grabs Vic by the throat, but Vic showers him with bullets, knocking him down. Frankie replies on the headset for Vic to duck and cover. Frankie steers their airship in, firing a cannon at the Suit. Vic climbs aboard, and the two struggle with the knowledge that the creature now knows what they are for. Frankie says that she will contact “The Arc” to find out what to do. Vic warns that he will kill them for failing. Frankie replies that if The Suit knew about them, then there is a leak somewhere, and that information enough will keep them in “his” good graces. Vic says that they don’t know about a leak. Frankie replies “she does” and points menacingly at Lt. Robertson, who is stashed in the back of the cockpit.
Logan gets up off the ground, calling for round two with the Suit. The Suit is knocked out, with nano-robots crawling on his body.
On the ship, the twins send a message to “The Arc,” saying that they have new disturbing information and need to know how to proceed. The reply comes immediately – “Climb to 42,000 feet. Initialize ‘Plan B’ protocol. Await Authorization.
On the ground, Wolverine picks up one of the miniature robots. Wolverine says that he knows what they are… “what are you up to now, Reed?” The robot delivers a powerful shock, and Logan drops it. The ship flies overhead.Frankie asks: “Do you think the Canadian government is really gonna let us do this?” Vic replies: “Do you really think they’d say no… to him?” The screen flashes: “Authorization granted. Proceed.”The twins smile at each other, and Frankie pushes a button. A nuclear weapon is launched at the town of Voici, and Wolverine looks up, saying that “This just ain’t my day…” The town goes up in a mushroom cloud.The resulting explosion causes navigation problems on the ship, and while the twins struggle to get it under control, Lt. Robertson grabs a wrench and hides it, waiting to attack.
As the ship gets under control, the twins say that they will wait for the blast cloud to clear, then they will touch down and finish the job. The creature will have no other option but to attach itself to them, if only for survival.
The nano-robots come together, patching the Suit up. He uses his cell-phone device to contact home, saying that he has a plan involving the mutant humanoid.
As Wolverine attempts to heal in a crater, the Suit charges his phone and gets up, looking undamaged.

“Run”  - part 4
Wolverine is lying unconscious in the crater caused by the nuclear bomb, when he awakes to the humming sound of the twins’ hovercarrier.
Frankie and Vic, now bald, are trying desperately to track the symbiote. After the bomb was dropped, seemingly killing everyone for miles, the twins believe that it will be impossible for the symbiote to do anything but possess one of them – which they desire. They each strap on some heavy weaponry and armor, and leave Patricia on the ship as they search for the creature. While they talk, they are oblivious to Robertson, who is conscious the whole time and clutching a wrench. Vic explains that they have been waiting their entire lives to meet this creature. Frankie worries that the big moment in question will be disappointing, but Vic doubts it. They leave the ship.Meanwhile, Wolverine stands up, finding a gaping hole in his chest after the blast. He begins tracking the twins, with the cry of “This time… you better have a bigger bomb!”The twins continue tracking the creature with their gadgets through the ruins of Voici. They find a storm cellar and attempt to descend into it to find the creature, but Vic shouts a warning too late – the creature has possessed a number of cockroaches in order to survive, and it reforms itself, crushing Frankie’s body with it’s strength. Vic shoots, but the symbiote disappears. After the symbiote leaves, Vic radios her base, asking for instructions. However, before she gets any answers, The Suit sneaks up behind and knocks her out, stealing her handprint to gain acces to the ship. Immediately, the Suit is ambushed by Robertson with the wrench. The Suit describes her presence as “problematic.” The Suit thinks for a moment, then proceeds back to the corpse of Vic, where he removes her cybernetic equipment. He returns to the ship, and Lt. Robertson screams.Wolverine tracks the scent through the nearby woods, seeing a brilliant flash of light on the horizon. He finds a pile of dead roaches, which perplexes him, as roaches should have survived the blast. Wolverine is ambushed by Venom and absorbed.Lt. Robertson awakes, and asks the Suit what is going on. The Suit responds that he is attempting to reconstruct his cell-phone weapon, and did not want to kill Robertson though she is a potential host and escape vehicle for Venom. Robertson removes her hood to see that she is now bald, and with cybernetic implants. She screams as Suit explains that it was to allow her to control the creature. Before the argument can continue, The Suit is pierced through the hull by a set of claws, and divided in half before he can reach his new phone. The creature has arrived, and asks Robertson if she “likes his new look.” The Venom / Wolverine creature has arrived, complete with claws and Wolverine hair. Venom continually prevents Robertson from reaching the cell-phone, but a blast of fire stops him for a moment.Another ship arrives, with Frankie and Vic aboard…

Poison-X, part 3
A far-away spaceport, where inside a warehouse used to trade alien Symbiotes, Scott Summers of the X-Men appears shocked as one of the Symbiotes suddenly engulfs him. Eddie Brock a.k.a. Venom watches, and decides that if the X-Men had bothered asking him, he could have told them what to expect. The pressure – constricting – suffocating – everything changes. 'My visor! My eyes!' Scott calls out as his face is covered by the strange black Symbiote. Scott clutches his face and realizes that he can still see – with every cell. Venom knows that the weight of the world rushes in so fast that you can't catch your breath. 'I can see!' Cyclops calls out, as he fires an optic blast. Venom knows that the X-Men are kids, though, and they think they know everything – including how to control Symbiotes. 'But they didn't ask me' Venom thinnks to himself, as the other X-Men – Jean Grey a.k.a. Marvel Girl, Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman, Warren Worthington a.k.a. Angel and Hank McCoy  a.k.a. Beast have all been bonded with  a Symbioe, their appearances change, and they engage several large robots that were preparing to trade Symbiotes with the Haze Mancer.
Venom watches the chaos unfold before him and tells himself that this is why he doesn't usually run around with hot-headed mutants like the X-Men. 'All these... eyes... all these blasts... almost too much' Scott utters, as Venom remarks to himself that even though his longtime partner is a suit of extra-terrestrial Symbiote flesh, they don't often go gallivanting though space, either. Venon lunges at one of the robots and tears into it, as Jean uses her telekinesis against another, 'Two minds now... dividing again and again... becoming many... and all of them mine' she utters. Venom recalls how the X-Men kidnapped him, as they need a subject matter expert when it came to the Klyntar – for all they good he and his Symbiote have done. Bobby looks at his new darkened ice-form and wonders if the Symbiote is inside him.
Venom drops to his knees as the Haze Mancer approaches him and holds a weapon out towards him. 'Well, well, well. The Symbiote that got away. I always wonderedwhen our paths might cross again' the Haze Mancer calls out. The Symbiote part of Venom tells Eddie that the Haze Mancer says he knows them, but he doesn't remember him. Angel screams as one of the robots blasts him with fire, knocking  him across the warehouse. Jean goes over too him, and Warren assures her that he is fine, as the suit took the worst of it. He adds that he could feel what the suit felt, and points out that it has been a while since he has been afraid of fire. Another robot holds up the Beast, who has been transformed into a hooved, horned furry creature. 'Subject detained' the robot states, before Cyclops tells his friend to hand on – and fires an optic blast from an eye that opens up in the palm of his hand. 'I've got you' Scott calls out as he fires the blast at the robot's arm, severing it and freeing Hank.
'Oh, yew brought me some treats, didn't yew!' the Haze Mancer calls out as he prods Venom with the device, adding that the Klyntar are already picking up on their hosts' power. 'So these guys...they're sort of like Sentinels... only for gooey aliens' Bobby remarks as he lashes out at one of the robots with a long, spiked ice-tentacle. 'Now that those suits are are adapting to all these special features, they're gonna fetch a premium' the Haze Mancer declares. 'After I peel them off tha carcasses of yer friends, of course' he adds. Jean realizes that Mancer's customers have bolted, but Warren tells her to forget them and focus on the main jerk himself. Jean telekinetically levitates herself towards the Mancer and fires some psychic blasts at him, while Angel swoops towards him from the other direction. Mancer tells the X-Men that he isn't sure they noticed, but that this is not his first time tangling with slime suits. 'Ya might feel stronger all of a sudden...but yer weaker than yew even kn-' Mancer begins, before Angel grabs him and flies across the warehouse.
Mancer looks up at Angel and boasts that he has enough anti-Symbiote tech to sear that thinf alive, and Angel's comic flame is forced back upon himself. Mancer drops to the ground, boasting that he will come though the fight fresh as a tarvil cluster. 'You're pretty, Angel, but kinda dumb. When are you gonna learn that flames are no longer your friend?' Bobby asks his teammate, blasting his wings with ice. 'Funny' Warren mutters. Haze Mancer looks pleased with himself as he declares that he is going to make a freighterload of credits selling the lot of them, when suddenly, Venom appears 'I know all those new toys are exciting and all... but don't forget about us!' Venom snarls as he slams his fist into Haze Mancer's face.
'Fascinating! These Symbiotes...they not only enhance our natural abilities...they amplify out emotional state' the Beast realizes as he uses some small winged demons against one of the robots. Jean telekinetically tears one of the robots in two as she points out that Hank's manifested as demons. 'This is why we worry about you' she tells him. Venom slams the Haze Mancer into the ground and tells him that he is done using those gadgets of his. 'You got your licks in. Now...it's our turn' Venom declares, leaning into Haze Mancer, remembering how he said he knows him. Venom's sharp teeth are mere inches from the Haze Mancer's face, 'Eddie! Eddie, no! Stop!' the Symbiote within Venom calls out. 'Venom – no!' Marvel Girl shouts as she suddenly traps Venom in a telekinetic field. 'You can't just kill him!' Marvel Girl exclaims. 'You know who this guy is, right? You know what it is he does. You gonna tell us he deserves to live?' Venom asks.
The Symbiote falls away from Marvel Girl's face, as Jean looks at Venom intently and tells him that the X-Men don't kill. 'We're not one of you' Venom retorts, reminding Jean that she brought him here against his will to help. 'But now you want us to just look the other way when -' Venom begins, before Cyclops calls out 'You're right. You're not an X-Man. If you want to do things your way, be my guest. But he sold Symbiotes to the people who attacked my Dad. I want to question him... before you kill him' Cyclops eexclaims, as he snaps a weapon across his thigh. 'Scott. Come on, man. You can't mean that' Angel calls out. The Beast explains that it is his Symbiote, that it is angry at Mancer, and his feels the same way – it wants to punish him. Bobby looks at his hands and asks how get gets the Symbiote off him.
'You heard the kids. They want answers, and so do I. Tell us everything about your operation' Venom orders Haze Mancer, holding him off the ground. Haze Mancer looks bemused and asks the terrans if they have never heard of client confidentiality, adding that divulging information about his customers is bad for business. 'You're out of business, pal. Or haven't you figured that out?' Venom asks. The Haze Mancer reports that there is still money to be made, and offers to cut the X-Men in on the deal. 'Yew could work with me... help seek powers like yers in a new batch of Symbiotes' he explains, before telling Cyclops that they would be so rich, he could buy himself a new daddy. Scott hisses at Mancer in return, but Jean tells him that it is all right, that Mancer is just looking for an angle – any angle thay might present him with an opportunity to slip away.
Jean approaches Haze Mancer and points out that it is a good thing they don't need Haze Mancer to cooperate, as she unleashes her psychic power on him. 'What are yew doing? Get out of my dead!' Haze Mancer calls out, before Jean reports that his mind and thought patterns are strange, but that he is close enough to human, she just needs something to latch onto – a stray thought or a memory or ahint of fear. Haze Mancer suddenly cries out, and Jean finds something she can use. Armed with knowledge, Jean informs her teammates that Mancer modified these Symbiotes, rugged them with tracking devices – that's how they will find his clients.
Beast goes over to a console and announces that now they know what to look for, it should be simple enough to hack into his Mancer's tracking protocols. 'You gonna conjure a bunch of little demons to act as IT specialists?' Bobby jokes. 'Hilarious' Beast mutters. 'Those demon jokes never get old'. The Beast then asks if the Symbiotes enhance who they really are, then why is it that Bobby is becoming invisible?' Bobby's eyes narrow at this remark, as indeed, his form is slowly becoming invisible. Angel goes over to Beast and tells him ot lay-off, and for them both to stop attacking each other. 'It's hardly my fault. I think I'm experiencing a bit of sibling rivalry' Beast suggests, realizing that his Symbiote and Bobby's were brothers. Hank turns back to the task at hand, examining the console panel he decides that his future tech should allow him to connect directly with the system. Hank retrieves the information and turns to his teammates, reporting that a cluster of Symbiotes were sold to a group of interstellar bounty hunters recently. Beast tells the others that they are going to have to move quickly if they want to catch them.
In the spaceship that blasts through the stars, Killer Thrill leans back as she addresses her various alien companions, '...and you're sure they were Earthers?' she asks. The alien with the red tendrils declares that she would stake her life on it – they are a long way from home, but they are terrans. 'And you say they had a Symbiote with them?' Killer Thrill asks. The red alien confirms that they did – a real nasty one, too, and she has the feeling he has been hanging around Earth. 'I wonder...' Killer Thrill remarks to herself, before turning as a humanoid crew member begins Corsair to her. 'There he is! My favorite little hostage!' she calls out. Killer Thrill leans in to Corsair and asks him how he feels and whether he is down in the dumps. 'What do you want from me and my crew, Killer Thrill?' Corsair asks through gritted teeth.
Killer Thrill leans back and declares that she loves it when he says her name, that it makes her giddy – it sounds almost as sweet as the sound of squealing baby xreeks when you crush their skulls. She leans back in towards Corsair and tells him that she thought he might want to know that there are still people out there who care about his sorry carcass, revealing that her team ran into some Earthers who were looking from him – they had eye-beams and mind blasts and ice storms and were loads of fun. 'The X-Men' Corsaair utters, his expression looking hopeful. Killer Thrill runs her hand along the face of a green alien and remarks that she has heard of the X-Men, and how they are always venturing out where they don't belong. She adds that she bets they will think twice about leaving Earth next time. She leans into the green alien and calling him Naga, exclaims that he gutted at least one of them, the one who said he was looking for his dear old dad.
'Scott...' Corsair whispers, his eyes turn to the floor. Killer Thrill kneels beside him and points at his face, 'That stings, doesn't it?' she asks. 'Your boy came looking for you...tried to save you before we sold you off...and now he's bleeding out in some stinkhole spaceport!' This shocks Corsair: 'You left him for dead?' he asks. 'You can cry if you want to' Killer Thrill tells Corsair, adding that she will think less of him as a man, but she will still lick the tears away. Corsair tells Killer Thrill that if she wanted them dead, she should have finished the job. 'Because I know my kid...and I'm betting he's coming for you' Corsair informs her. Killer Thrill runs her tongue through her jagged teeth and declares that she hopes so.
Meantime, inside Danger who has been transformed into the X-Men's Blackbird, Venom roars at the X-Men: 'You should have let us kill him! The guy's scum. If we'd been there alone -' he begins, but Jean interrupts him and points out that he wasn't there alone, and that it wasn't his call. 'We're not killers' Jean adds. She, Warren and Bobby have reverted to their human appearances, while Hank and Scott remain transformed by the Symbiotes as the inside of the jet glows red. Jean reminds Venom that they ruined the Haze Mancer and handed him over to the authorities. 'Isn't that enough?' she asks. Venom is sitting behind Jean and tells her that it must be nice having thoser high moral standards, especially when you carve out expectations for things like ripping thoughts out of people's heads, or, say, kidnapping people.
Cyclops tells Venom that whatever Jean did, the only thing that matters now is finding his Dad. Venom tells the young mutants that they are all too emotional, and that they should remove the Symbiotes before they fully bond with them. 'They served their purposes. Keeping them now...it's too dangerous' Venom explains. 'Too dangerous for whom?' Cyclops asks. 'Scott -' Jean begins, hanging her head. Venom stands up and goes over to Cyclops: 'Are you trying to puff up on us, kid?' he asks. 'I'd say that's the alien talking, too, but I don't think the Symbiote's that stupid. If you need me to teach you a little humility, I'm happy to do so' Venom adds. 'I've been taught plenty by far worse than you!' Cyclops retorts, looking up at Venom, he gets to his feet, but before things can escalate further, Jean steps between them and tells them to both cut it out. Jean turns to Scott and points out that Venom is right – the Symbiotes are affecting them. Jean informs Venom that she can tell he isunsettled by all of this, she can feel it, and knows his Klyntar hates what Mancer is doing to its kind.
Jean continues, remarking that she knows Venom thinks they are not equipped to handle the Symbiotes, but points out that is not entirely their call, as the Klyntar don't want to leave them – they want to see this through and rescue the others that Mancer sold. 'I don't think they're going anywhere right now' Jean declares. Beast asks Danger how she is holding up, and the robot responds that she has been better, but thanks him for asking. Danger adds that, done correctly, self-repair is a marathon, not a race, but unfortunately, they have asked her to give chase to an enemy with a significant head start. Warren goes over to Hank and suggests that perhaps they send a message to Magneto, tell him where they are. He adds that the last thing he wants is for Magneto to start tearing apart cities looking for them. Danger reports that Magneto has been alerted, and explains that Beast prevented her from contacting Magneto initially, but his influence over her deteriorated, so  she took the liberty of sending a sub-space signal as soon as she was able. 'Uh...thanks, I suppose' Beast mutters.
'Funny. You talk about how you're not killers. But you answer to a madman like Magneto' Venom points out. 'People change' Jean tells him. 'You're young, Red. But you're not naive enough to believe that. People don't change... not unless you force them to' Venom adds.
Elsewhere, a high-security prison on a desolate rock. Nova Corps operatives patrol the cells within the prison, one of which contains the Haze Mancer, who sits forlorn in his cell. He looks up as several Nova Corps run past his cell, 'Scramble! Scramble! We've got a breach!' one of them calls out. Several of the Corps are suddenly taken out, while another one radios for backup – before he is knocked backwards. Other Corps members are attacked by tendrils, while another is skewered with a large spike. Haze Mancer looks up as a mysterious being appears before his cell. 'Are you the one called Haze Mancer? You are – like me – a hunter?' he asks. Haze Mancer replies that he is out of business now, as a bunch of super-powered Earthers shut him down and claimed the last of his supply. The mysterious being wears some sort of armor over his entire body, while a Symbiote radiates around him and the mysterious figure announces 'I think not. You're not quite out of business. You can help me...one last hunt!'

Poison-X, conclusion
Deep space, where the small space craft belonging to Killer Thrill is now dwarfed by a much larger space craft. Inside the smaller craft, Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops tries to communicate with Jean Grey via their psychic rapport, but he can't hear her. Scott's father, Corsair, and the Starjammers – Hepzibah, Ch'od and Raza – are ready for battle, as Corsair remarks that something is off – he would expect this ship to be crawling with pirates – pirates other than the four of them. Corsair asks his son if he thinks the other X-Men might have cleaned house, but Hepzibah tells Corsair 'Not now. Can you not see? He's worried'. Cyclops is hanging his head, and Corsair goes over to him, apologizing, he adds that the best of fathers mess up sometimes, and he is far from the best. He admits that he says stupid things more often than he would like, but tells Scott that Jean is as tough as they come and he is sure she is fine.
Jean Grey a.k.a. Marvel Girl has been transformedinto a Poison, and along with Poison Killer Thrill and Poison Kraven, and several strange little creatures that seem to be walking sets of jagged teeth, she is on the bridge and declares that she has known the X-Men for a long time, and there is no sense in talking to them, as they will not willingly accept what the Poisons are offering. 'Is that... Jean?' Warren Worthington a.k.a. Angel asks. 'No, kid. No, it's not. Not anymore' Eddie Brock a.k.a. Venom replies as Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast and Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman look on in shock. 'She's a Poison now' Venom reports. The Symbiote within Venom recalls how they faced Poisons once more – and how they terrify them. 'A Poison? What does that mean?' the Beast asks, confused. 'It means you should have gotten rid of those Symbiotes when I told you. It means we're screwed – royally. It means we should be running' Venom replies, as Marvel Girl exclaims 'Take them' and the strange creatures launch into the room towards Venom and the X-Men.
Venom pushes Beast to safety and tells the others that whatever they do, they cannot let the creatures touch them. The Symbiote thinks that the Poisons are perfect hosts – but hosts that kill, consume other Klyntar and turn them into weapons 'One touch is all it takes! They'll absorb your Symbiote... eat it... and they'll eat you with it!' Venom warns the others as he tears a chair from its place next to a console and slams it into one of the Poisons. 'Does that mean Jean – JEAN!' Iceman shouts as he creates a huge wall of ice, blocking Poison Kraven and Poison Killer Thrill, but they easily break through it, with Killer Thrill telling Iceman that he can't stop them, and that the Symbiotes with the X-Men are meant to be with the Poisons. 'You'll see soon enough – and so will my crew!' Killer Thrill exclaims as several Poisons move towards her crew members who Iceman has trapped in a block of ice.
'Get these things away from me! Get it -' one of the crew calls out, before the strange little creature moves close to the crew member's face, causing the Symbiote inside to free itself and flee. 'What have you done with Jean? Let her go! Let her go or I swear -' Angel begins as he lashes out at Poison Kraven and Killer Thrill, knocking them back with his Symbiote-enhanced wings. Venom tells Angel to be careful and to retract his wings as he is making himself an easy target. The Symbiote within Venom knows that Symbiotes make the Poisons strong, and in return, the Poisons silence them. 'If... if I can't use my wings... what good am I?' Angel asks as several Poisons move closer to him.
The Symbiote inside Venom knows that the Poisons make Eddie doubt him, doubt their bond. The Beast knocks one Poison back, while Venom slams some equipment into another. He declares that the Symbiotes aren't power ups anymore – they are liabilities! 'For now, maybe' Poison Marvel Girl remarks, before explaining that once they have taken the Symbiotes, once the metastasization is complete, they will be purged of all weakness and made perfect. She then grabs Venom and the X-Men in a telekinetic field, and they are unable to break free. 'Freedom is an awful lie. You'll see  when you join the hive' Poison Jean declares, levitating the others over to some Poisons, who wait eagerly. 'This is bad, right? I mean this is just about as bad as it gets, isn't it?' Iceman asks, when suddenly, several optic blasts are fired into the room, shattering the Poisons. 'X-Men! We're getting the hell out of here!' Corsair calls out, Cyclops and the Starjammers at his side. 'What fun. The gang's all here' Poison Jean snarls.
'Poisons... claiming someone like her... all that power...' Venom utters as the Beast helps him to his feet. Suddenly, Iceman looks up and sees Romeo, his Inhuman sort-of boyfriend, and asks him how he got here. Venom pulls Iceman aside before he can go over to Romeo. 'Hey!' Iceman protests, but Venom tells him that is not whoever he thinks it is, explaining that the baby Poisons create psychic lures to attract prey. 'That...is a dirty trick!' Iceman exclaims as Venom knocks over the Poison who was pretending to be Romeo. Cyclops turns to Jean and asks her what the Poisons have done to her. 'They made me better' Jean replies. Poison Kraven begins attacking Venom. 'You are one of the survivors... one of the Venom hosts... before we realized there were so many other Symbiotes to consume... so many other worlds...' Poison Kraven declares, while the Symbiote within Venom knows that Eddie is angry – angry because he is afraid, as one of Poison Kraven's bone-weapons strike his shoulder.
Cyclops asks Jean why they can't hear each other's thoughts, to which Poison Jean tells him that once he has joined them, their minds will be more connected than ever – they will be as one. 'Get away from him, Jean!' Bobby calls out as he runs over and knocks Jean back with several shards of ice, while telling her that he is sorry about this, but that she needs to step the hell back. At that moment, Killer Thrill's crew have now been transformed into Poisons as well, 'Welcome to the winning team, my darlings! Now...get on your feet and go do mama's dirty work!' Killer Thrill tells them. A large orange alien goes over to Ch'od and tells him that he is useless now, that the hive has no need for bounties, no price upon their heads. 'Abandon this fight and you might live a while longer!' the alien suggests. 'Sorry, friend. The Starjammers don't turn their backs on friends...or enemies' Ch'od declares.
Corsair points out that the Poisons are only interested in the Klyntar and tells the X-Men to “hit the bricks” while the Starjammers hold the Poisons back. He opens fire at one of the Poisions, shattering it, as Venom and the X-Men rush from the bridge, except for Cyclops, so Venom turns back and fires some webbing at Cyclops, drawing him backwards out of the bridge. 'Wait! We can't just leave Jean! She needs us!' Cyclops calls out. Corsair continues to open fire at the Poisons, and tells his crew to get going, that he is right behind them. 'I'll get the door!' the Beast remarks as he touches a panel outside the bridge, which brings the door down, closing it before Killer Thrill, Poison Jean and the other Poisons can escape.
Corsair and Venom lead the X-Men and Starjammers down the corridor, 'That won't hold them for long. We need to find a way off this rig – and fast!' Corsair declares, while Cyclops asks 'What about Jean?' Venom tells him that there is no “What about Jean”, and that he is sorry, but that when those creatures, the Poisons, take a Symbiote, they use up whoever is wearing it to catalyze the process – they take their bodies and take their minds – so Jean is dead. Corsair asks Hank if he has used that big brain of his to puzzle a way out of this mess. 'I'm calling our ride right now' the Beast replies, announcing that Danger is on the way. Indeed, the X-Men's ally turned Blackbird jet streaks towards Killer Thrill's ship, and Hank tells Bobby that they will need a doorway – and a causeway, if he doesn't mind. 'On it' Bobby replies as he blasts ice at one of the walls in the corridor, remarking that if this blows up in his face, they are going to have a real depressurization problem, so everybody needs to be ready to grab onto something. 'But if it works... one ice-tunnel coming right up!' Bobby remarks, as his plan worked, and an ice-tunnel links the two ships.
'This way, kids! You must be at least this tall to ride this ride!' Bobby jokes, as he the others move towards the ice-tunnel, when suddenly, 'That's cute. You guys just lost one of your teammates, but you haven't lost your sense of humor' Poison Jean declares as she, Poison Kraven, Poison Killer Thrill, her crew and the remaining little Poisons approach the X-Men. Iceman looks worried, and tells Jean that he didn't mean anything. 'You're an X-Man. You'll make it past this -' he tells her. 'No' Venom calls out. 'She won't. She's already gone' Cyclops declares. 'That's good. This will be so much easier once you accept the truth' Poison Jean tells the X-Men. A fight ensues, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Venom, Corsair, Ch'od, Raza and Hepzibah against Poison Jean, Poison Kraven, Poison Killer Thrill, her crew and the Poisons.
The Symbiote with Venom thinks that Eddie does what he always does – fights to protect the innocent, the children, but this time, they don't find for revenge. The Symbiote fights because it must – it fights to survive. Poison Jean surrounds herself in a TK bubble, while Cyclops fires optic blasts at Killer Thrill, and Poison Kraven slams Raza to the ground, Angel fights Uviex and Venom grabs two of the human crew members, while Ch'od slams the large orange alien to the ground, as the alien climbs on his back. Iceman traps more crew members in a large block of ice. The red alien turns its attention to Venom and tells everyone without a Symbiote to get clear, as the Poisons don't care about them. 'Now or never, eh, Hepzibah?' Corsair calls out. 'With you, it always is' Hepzibah replies as the Starjammers make their way into the ice-tunnel.
Poison Jean's TK field blocks Cyclops' optic blasts and she tells Scott that they shouldn't argue. 'That's... that's not Jean talking. You're not Jean!' Cyclops responds. 'Who are you trying to convince?' Poison Jean snarls, while Venom informs the X-Men that the Symbiotes can adapt to deep space. 'The Poisons won't let us make it through that tunnel! But who gives a damn!' he calls out. Halfway through the ice-tunnel, Corsair tells the Starjammers to huslte, and that he thinks he knows what the X-Men are planning. He adds that they want to be on that ship before it happens. 'I'm moving as fast as I can. These tunnels weren't made for someone my size' Ch'od replies, while at the same time Venom instructs Cyclops to make a hole. 'I can do that' Scott replies, as he fires a powerful optic blast at the ice-tunnel, which is destroyed, and the gaping hole sucks the X-Men, Venom and Poisons out into space. 'Oh – that was a bad idea!' Iceman exclaims. 'We escape. The X-Men believe that is possible. But Eddie knows better' the Symbiote within Venom thinks to itself, as Killer Thrill clings onto the edge of the hole.
The X-Men start to float out into space, the Symbiote within Venom sees them slip away, but also sees that they aren't safe – some of the Poisons float after them, still hungry – still seeking out the Klyntar. One of them latches on to Angel, and the Symbiote within Venom knows that when the Poisons touch the Klyntar, they die, and the hosts die, too – unless sacrifices are made. Angel cries out as a Poison latches onto him – his Symbiote then purges itself from Warren's body, freeing him – saving him. 'I'm... I'm so sorry' Angel utters as he flies through space, his cosmic wings returned. The Symbiote within Venom thinks that sometimes, this means sacrificing the ones you love. Cyclops fires a powerful blast at Poison Jean, knocking her back through space. Venom has the stringy red alien clutching his back, as Killer Thrill moves towards him. 'Thought we could beat them. Thought we destroyed all of them on a poisoned earth. But somehow they followed us home. They'll never stop hunting us' the Symbiote within Venom thinks, as Venom breaks off part of Killer Thrill's arm, and shoves it into the alien clinging to him.
No matter how many times the Poisons are blown up – perhaps they are eternal, a constant of the universe, always searching for new worlds – new prey – even so, if the heroes make it home, sooner or later the Poisons will find them again – preferably sooner. At that moment, Killer Thrill's space ship explodes, and Danger, with the Starjammer's safely aboard, flies down to where the X-Men and Venom are still floating in space – while Poison Jean floats nearby.
Kariteth Spaceport, Ulgraith, where the Starjmmers have reunited with Sikorsky, who hovers near Corsair as he asks Cyclops if he is all right. 'After everything that's happened, I hate just leaving you -' Corsair begins, but Scott tells his father that he doesn't know there is another choice, as they need to get back home. Scott adds that the X-Men may have given up their Symbiotes, but they are still in the fight – if those Poisons decide to head to Earth, he doesn't like to think about what they will be facing. Ch'od and Raza are carrying some containers, and Scott remarks tht the Starjammers must get the surviving Symbiotes back to their world – the Klyntar need to be warned. 'Maybe there's some way to get them to safety' Scott hopes. Corsair tells Scott that he is truly sorry. 'If the X-Men hadn't come to rescue us... Jean would be...' Corsair begins. 'Dad – don't' Scott tells him. As the Starjammers' vessel takes flight, Scott looks up the sky and remarks that Jean would not have had it any other way.
Scott returns to Danger, where the other X-Men and Venom are waiting for him. Venom tells Cyclops that he hates to rush him while he is mourning, and that in any other situation there might be time to grieve – but the Poisons aren't with them, so if they don't get back home, they could be dealing with the end of the world. The Symbiote within Venom knows that for Cyclops, the world has already ended. Cyclops looks devestated, but takes his seat. Venom tells the X-Men to saddle up, and that if they like it or not, it is a race back to Earth, and they are already losing. 'You don't need to remind us of what we've lost, Venom' the Beast replies. Scott looks up – he thinks he sees Poison Jean calling out to him. 'Wha -?' Scott begins. Venom asks him if he is all right, to which Cyclops tells him that he will be fine – he is just seeing ghosts.
Meanwhile, on the planet Klyntar, the Starjammers arrive. Once they land, the space pirates disembark from their ship. 'Uh... isn't this place supposed to be more heavily populated?' Corsair asks as he and Ch'od carry the three containers with the surviving Symbiotes inside. The Starjammers gaze out over the desert before them and Raza asks 'Where is everyone' and Hepzibah points out that this place is a ghost town. Sikorsky informs Hepzibah that she might bev more right than she knows, as he is not detecting any life forms. Corsair tells the others that they need to contact the X-Men, warn them and all of Earth that it looks like the Poisons have already been here – and have taken all the Klyntar!

Vollied and Thundered
Somewhen, in the ether between realities, a door that wasn’t merely a door popped open and a rat that wasn’t merely a rat (Dirt Nap) hopped through. The rat that wasn’t merely a rat was being chased by a human and an alien occupying one body in a symbiotic relationship (Venom). The symbiote (for that is what it was) was followed by a mutant with claws (Wolverine), a young boy from another dimension (Emmett) and an alien spaceship (that could fold itself up into a topological anomaly) which contained a female symbiote (Scream) and two (2) kids (Jerry and Rocky) on skateboards. And that is when things got interesting…!
As he continues to give chase to Dirt Nap, the spaceship bounces off of Venom’s head. When it does, Venom turns to Wolverine and tells him to bounce a chrome football off his head, they’ll eat his brain. Wolverine proceeds to inform him that it wasn’t his lateral that beaned him. That silver pigskin has got a life of its own. Shooting his weapon at Dirt Nap and missing, Emmett quips “rats, he missed the rat.”
Just then, the spaceship begins to unfold. When it begins to do so, Jerry asks what’s going on. Donna Diego (Scream) states that their phage spaceship just “tagged” its programmed target – Venom – and completed its mission. Now it’s expanding to allow the phage to attack and devour its prey. Jerry tells Donna that’s very interesting but they’re not going to eat anybody. Rocky agrees. They’re just gonna get run down by some weirdoes on a motorcycle or chomped on by Venom. Smiling, Donna informs the boys that she thinks the guys on the Harley are on their side and Venom may not be her best pal, but at least they’re both symbiotes.
Chasing after Dirt Nap, Emmett asks Mr. Logan to keep the bike steady while he continues to blast away at their quarry to which Logan asks him if he thinks this is easy. Venom then tells Wolverine to reign in his sidekick. They’ve got dibs on Dirt Nap for eating symbiotes without a license. Dirt Nap replies that he is the only symbiote he ever partook of, and he is well-nigh indigestible. Blasting away at Dirt Nap, Emmett states that he’ll “moidelize da liddle rodent.” When Venom exclaims that they told him to lay off, Emmett tells him that his mudder wears army boots.
Just then, Dirt Nap morphs into the image of a young child and asks Wolverine if they remember him. Upon seeing the face, Wolverine exclaims it’s the kid. Emmett tells him that it’s just da rat puttin’ on da hoo-doo face change but Wolverine orders him to hang fire. They can’t punch Dirt Nap’s ticket while there’s still a chance o’ getting that kid outta him. Leaping over towards Dirt Nap, Venom grabs his tongue. As he does, he says to him that he’s got a tongue twister for the shape-shifter. If they tied a propeller to this, he could take off.
After seeing what is transpiring, Wolverine tells Emmett to bail out. He’s down for a one-on-one with this bad boy before he does something he’ll make him regret. Once Emmett bails out, Wolverine rushes towards Venom and Dirt Nap. While Venom continues to beat on Dirt Nap, Wolverine yells at him to step back from the creep. Dirt Nap’s holding a genetic imprint that he wants back even if he has to pop a six-pack o’ throw down on his funky butt. When Wolverine crashes his motorcycle into Venom, Venom tells him that he knows, of course, this means war.
Across the room, Rocky asks his buddy Jerry and Donna where the heck are they, this is some gonzo alien landscape. Rocky retorts maybe they’re in Kansas. Just then, Donna sees Dirt Nap rushing towards them. She proceeds to tell him not so fast. If Venom had a gripe with him, maybe she should shake him down and see what rattles. Ceasing to rush forward, Dirt Nap replies no problem and transforms from the shape of the kid to a large monstrous looking rat. All that upchucking has put him in the mood for some tasty hors d’ouvres. When Rocky says that he doesn’t see no canapés, Jerry informs him that he’s talking about them. Transforming into Scream, Donna says not if she can help it.
Slashing away at Dirt Nap, Scream tells him to eat symbiote fist shape-shifter. Dirt Nap replies no thank you. As foul and indigestible as symbiotes are, it’s far more convenient to swallow them whole than trade punches with them. With that, Dirt Nap absorbs Scream and takes her form, much to the boys’ dismay.
As the boys rush towards the spaceship for safety, Dirt Nap chases after them. Before he can reach the boys, Venom extends a tentacle, wraps it around Dirt Nap’s leg, and slams him up against the wall. While he does, he asks leaving so soon, the fun is just beginning. Wolverine says to him that he just doesn’t get it, does he? Taking refuge inside the spaceship, Rocky tells Jerry to close the hatch, they’ve got to get out of there. Jerry tells him it’s not like he’s got the instruction manual. He still can’t figure out how this thing is a hundred times as big inside as it is outside.
Just then, a door opens and Chimera enters the room. She then asks what they have there – a whole waiting room full of people without appointments. Her right hand responds “twist their ugly little heads off.” Firing away, Emmett points out to Wolverine that it’s da gaslight frail and she’s talkin’ wid her hands again. Popping his bone claws, Wolverine asks Chimera if she’s lookin’ for more o’ what he dealt her last time. Chimera replies that the last time, she didn’t have a bevy of Plasma Wraiths with her. Sending them to attack her foes, Chimera tells them to disrupt their temporal stability with the light of a billion tomorrows.
As they proceed to attack Venom and Wolverine, the Plasma Wraiths say “sentient protoplasm/meat/protein pastlings” and “devolve/die/rot and hurt for nevermore.” Standing up to one of the Plasma’s blows, Venom tells them that they said a mouthful.
Just then, the spaceship folds in on itself and transforms back into an oblong sphere. When it does, Rocky asks Jerry what he did; he made the ship collapse again. Jerry tells him that he was just trying to close the hatch. Oh well, they wanted to get outta there, didn’t they? As the spaceship zooms off, Chimera captures it in the energy being emitting from her right hand. A topological anomaly transport module is not an artifact she intends to let slip past her grasp.
Standing next to her, Dirt Nap tells Chimera that they make a pretty good team. Now if he can only disgorge this symbiote. Chimera asks her hand if that presumptuous pile of putrid pus addresses moi in too familiar a way. Her hand tells her “it doesn’t know its place. Take it with us to the cusp of all badness.” Dirt Nap states that he hopes that’s a euphemism. Capturing Dirt Nap with another energy being, Chimera tells him it’s not, it’s an understatement and proceeds to escape through another door.
As they continue to battle the Plasma Wraiths, Wolverine informs Venom that they are sentient energy beings from the Crunch at the end of time. Biting his foes arm, Venom asks if that is why they make their teeth burn when they chomp down on them. While they finish off the Plasma Wraiths simultaneously, Wolverine tells him that he nailed it.
Facing Wolverine, Venom tells him that it looks like they’ve both got some hash to settle with Dirt Nap. And now this Chimera has snagged his two little friends too. He figures they oughtta bury the hatchet and join forces until they deal with the real problem there. Emmett states that he thinks they should take dis big lug out back and blow his brains into da next continuum. Besides, he’s poachin’ on da Expediter’s turf. Wolverine tells Emmett that they ain’t snuffin’ anybody outta hand. But on the other hand, they don’t wanna be watchin’ their backs while they track down Dirt Nap. He then tells Venom that they should call a truce. But he sure ain’t no pal o’ his. Punching their fists together, Venom tells him good enough.
Entering the same door Chimera and Dirt Nap went through, the trio find themselves in a strange area full of a number of ramps and ladders. Venom quips that that was some door, it’s like some bizarre alternate reality on the other side Wolverine adds that his ol’ sniffer ain’t much use there and wonders how they track her down in this ball o’ confusion. Emmett responds dat ain’t no problem for them bona-fide agents o’ Landau, Luckman & Lake. Advanced thermal trace imaging devices are standard issue. After using it, the trio can see in which direction Chimera went.
Further in the strange world, Chimera informs Dirt Nap that she went to a lot of trouble to set Wolverine up. She intercepted a confidential LL&L memo about Logan’s appointment with Zoe Culloden, a.k.a. the Expediter and she arranged for a certain party to be in the waiting room to soften up Logan for her. Dirt Nap asks that was him, huh. Chimera tells him yes, it was him and it would have worked if he hadn’t dragged Venom and those kids along with him. She should just drop him into a black hole. Now, she has to go to plan B.
Grabbing him by the hair, Chimera asks if she can trust him to behave from now on. Dirt Nap tells her yes, absolutely, no doubt about it. Chimera replies good and then orders him to carry the collapsing spaceship with the kids in it and follow her. Seeing an extremely tall ladder, Dirt Nap asks up there? What does he do if the kids start up the ship? Chimera says that she’s generating a containment field around it. It’s not going anywhere.
Inside the new area, Chimera asks Dirt Nap if this looks familiar. Dirt Nap replies that this is the office he landed in when he went through the door marked W.C. Chimera says precisely and walks across the room to another door. She states it is the inter-reality side of the warp chamber door that leads back to the Earth that Logan and Venom call home. Looking for her lepton imploder, Chimera finds it in her cleavage and discovers it it’s all nice and warm. When she slaps it on the door, Dirt Nap asks if it’s a grenade. Chimera tells him that it’s even better.
Inside the spaceship, Rocky points out to Jerry that she just slapped a grenade on their only way back home. Can’t he get this thing rolling? Jerry tells him he’s trying but none of the controls are responding. Just then, the grenade explodes and the door is blown up. When it does, Dirt Nap exclaims that it’s sucking them in. Chimera tells him not her. She is generating a stasis field that counteracts the forces exerted by the mini black hole resulting from the collapse of the warp chamber. She adds that now Logan and Venom are trapped there unless they can find another warp chamber home. And that doesn’t seem likely, does it?
Grabbing Dirt Nap by the hair, Chimera makes her way towards another door marked processing. As Dirt Nap tells Chimera that she is nasty to the bone, Chimera thanks her and tells him that is sweet. Inside the spaceship, Jerry mentions to Rocky that they are definitely up the creek now but Rocky tells him that they ain’t licked yet.
Reaching the ladder, Venom begins to climb it until Wolverine stops him. He tells him that he doesn’t want him trashin’ Dirt Nap before he gets a chance to extract the kid. He’s goin’ up first. Venom says adds that Dirt Nap’s got Donna inside of him too. Scowling, Wolverine asks if they are gonna throw down over this. Venom tells him no. The truce is still on for the time being.
Ascending the ladder, Wolverine asks Emmett if he minds watchin’ his back to which Emmett admits to do so. Reaching the top, Wolverine whispers to the others that it’s a trap door. He then tells them to keep it quiet, he’s gonna bust it open and go in chargin’. Opening the door, Wolverine is sucked in by some kind of vortex. When Venom asks what, Emmett tells him that it looks like da woik of a lepton imploder. Attempting to slow himself down from flying through the door on the other side of the room by jamming his claws into the walls, Wolverine remarks that whatever it was, it collapsed the warp chamber door in on itself. He then tells the other two that they had better save themselves. He ain’t gonna be able to hold out against this suction much longer.
When Emmett and Venom both inform him that neither of them are buggin’ out on him, Wolverine tells them to forget it, there’s no way. Venom says no way unless you’re in symbiosis with an alien other. Wolverine begins to ask what use… Venom informs him they can anchor and extend. Emmett tells Venom that he better shake a leg, the trap door frame is discorporatin’. Just as Wolverine loses his grip and is sucked through the door, Venom is able to grab his arm and save him.
Once Wolverine is saved, the room begins to make a creaking sound. Upon hearing it, Venom points out that the whole room is coming apart and getting pulled into the vortex. Pulling a device out of his pocket, Emmett states that he wuz savin’ dis Q.E.D. (quark emulation disruptor) for a special occasion and dis is as special as it gets. Once activated, the room reverts back to normal and the vortex is gone. Wolverine turns to Venom and tells him that it looks like he owes him one. Venom retorts that they both owe the kid. And they wonder if he would have pulled them back if they had been the first one through the door. Wolverine tells him the next time, Venom can go first and they’ll find out. Venom remarks won’t that be interesting.
Pulling out the scanning device, Emmett tells them to eighty-six da repartee, da trail is growin’ cold. Finding another door, Emmett states that it looks like Chimera didn’t even bother to cover her tracks ‘cause she figgered the lepton imploder would do da trick. Entering the new door, Venom points out or more likely, those tracks are meant to lead them into another trap. Wolverine asks that he’s always ready to think the best of folks, ain’t he? Emmett points out that da gaslight frail ain’t just “folks.”
In another room, Dirt Nap is in the form of the kid and is chained and hangs upside down. Calling out to Chimera he asks her that she didn’t just string him up and abandon him there, did she. Chimera tells him to be quiet. Flanked by five Plasma Wraiths, she tells Dirt Nap that it is the job of the decoy to thrash around, look appealing and attract attention but not the betray the hunters in the blind. When Logan and his friends make their inevitable appearance, they’ll never know what hit them.
