Untitled
Luke Cage has hold of the Eye of Agamotto and has grown to giant size; so tall that even bent over his head cracks the ceiling of the Avengers mansion. Jessica shields her baby as Hawkeye screams at her to get out of there. Wolverine asks Ben Grimm to grab the Eye and run for it. Ben asks why and Iron Fist explains that, in his experience, if these demonic whatever-they-ares want it, they don’t want them to have it. Ben says he didn’t mean that. He meant why him? “Because you’re big and made of rocks,” replies Wolverine. Mockingbird grabs Dr. Strange by his coat lapels and asks if it’s really him. Ms. Marvel wonders if it’s a Skrull thing. Danny tells them to just get the Eye. Jessica hands her baby over to Spider-Man and asks him to get her upstairs to safety. She has to save her husband.
Ben Grimm reaches out for the Eye but, as he touches it, Luke Cage smashes him out of the mansion and into the nearby park. As he lies there, he reckons this is a bad time to find out which them would win in a fight. The Eye has been dropped and the Avengers try to beat Luke to it. Iron Fist tackles Hellstrom whilst Wolverine punches Dr. Strange in the chest. Ms. Marvel makes a play for the Eye but Luke grabs her by the hair and yanks her backwards. Everyone then dives towards it and Luke is about to wrap his fingers around it before Jessica punches him in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. The Eye ends up in Wolverine’s hand so he hurls it out the window and then snikts his claws, plunging three each into the chests of the fake Hellstrom and Strange.
Outside, the Eye lands near a couple who are having a picnic in the sunshine. The guy reaches out and picks it up. His girlfriend asks what it is, but before he can reply he sees the gigantic Luke Cage running towards him, knocking trees out of the way. “Oh my god! Oh my god!” cries the girl. When her boyfriend sees Ben Grimm also approaching, he tosses the Eye into the air. Both Luke and Ben reach out for it but, just as they are about to grab it, Ms. Marvel flies overhead and plucks it out of the air. She then flies away at speed so she cannot be followed. Ben looks up at Luke and tells him that, usually, this would be clobbering time. As he smashes him, he guesses he’ll just have to settle for payback time.
Back inside the mansion, Wolverine leans over the two fallen demons and tells them that he’s seen enough ninja crap in his life to know a demon possession when he sees one. They can talk about the quality of life he leads later but, for now, why don’t they tell him who the hell he’s really talking to? He moves his claws around in their chests which causes them both great pain. Before they answer, their eyes glow and the demons exit the bodies in a mystic cloud before dispersing into the air. Spidey asks what Logan just did. Did he kill them? Logan asks him to get out of there but Spidey has placed Danielle somewhere safe and has a baby monitor with him. Logan explains that they’re still breathing but they need a towel or something. Spidey replies that they need a doctor, but adds sarcastically that they did have one but Logan went and stabbed him. Strange suddenly gasps for breath and his eyes pop wide open.
Outside, Jessica leaps onto Luke’s chest and asks if he’s still in there. Luke replies, in a demonic voice, that he’s right there. She asks what’s happening. Can he tell her what is happening to him? Luke doesn’t respond verbally, but instead punches Jessica high into the air. Ben grabs him and says they’ll do this again. The lady asked him pretty clearly. “What’s up buttercup? Who are you really?” Luke replies that he would tell him but he wouldn’t even understand. “Try us,” replies Ben. Luke says they seem simple. Mockingbird looks around and knows what to do. She asks a kid for his phone. Frightened, he hands it over and she runs off. His friend asks which Avenger she was. The other kid doesn’t know. “She’s hot,” his friend replies. “She’s insanely hot,” says the other. “I’m never going to see my phone again.”
Inside the mansion, Dr. Strange comes round and tells Logan that it was smart of him. He knew that severe physical trauma to the host body could cease a demonic possession. “Oh, uh sure,” replies Logan. Spidey adds that he didn’t know that at all. He just stabbed him to stab him. Strange groans and Spidey asks what’s going on. Strange asks him to let him try and heal himself and then they’ll try figure it out. Logan informs him that it’s not over. It has Luke Cage.
In the park, the demon possessing Luke offers the Avengers a deal. They give him the Eye of Agamotto and he will give them their friend back. Iron Fist asks why he wants it. The demon replies that he is a servant of the He. The Eye belongs to the He. It’s a fair trade. Their hero friend for one bauble. Mockingbird, filming the incident, asks who He is. Jessica tries once again to get through to Luke, but the demon tells her that if she wants the father of her child back she needs to give him what he came for. Jessica pleads with him to fight it... fight past it. Softly, Luke says her name as if he’s recognized her. “Luke?” she asks. Luke then smiles and the demon laughs, saying he forgot how much he loves Earth humans. Jessica raises her fist to punch him again, but Ms. Marvel then appears and holds the Eye out in front of her. She tells the demon to give them back their friend and she won’t smash the Eye into a million little pieces… and she so will because she’s not a fan of this creepy demon thing he’s trying to pull here. The demon stands up and reaches for Carol, but she manages to evade his attack and smashes him in the face. Unfortunately, he still manages to grab her and she drops the Eye.
Inside the mansion, Dr. Strange performs the Gorgerell self-healing spell from the Scroll of Melsalam. Once that is completed, he asks for help preparing Hellstrom for healing. Wolverine tells him they don’t have time. They have to get out there and help Cage, but Strange says they’ll need Hellstrom. He creates a new spell and slowly brings Hellstrom into consciousness. He wakes with a start, but Strange asks him to lie down so he can finish the spell. Hellstrom asks who did this to them but Strange admits he doesn’t know. “They’re trying to pull the dimension apart,” replies Hellstrom.
(in the park)Iron Fist has picked up the Eye and is running with Luke Cage hot on his trail. He senses Luke right behind him so he quickly turns and channels his power into his hand, zapping him to slow Luke down. Luke drops to the grass and Ben climbs on top of him, unleashing his power once again on Luke’s chin. “Now stay down already!” he demands.
Jessica tries in vain to communicate with her husband, but Ms. Marvel doesn’t believe he can hear her. “Yes, he can,” she says. Iron Fist reckons they need to find Brother Voodoo and find out how all this started. He asks if they can get Luke inside so he doesn’t bother any more civilians. Wolverine and Hellstrom then approach quickly and Logan shouts for them to get away from it. As Danny asks what he means… the Eye or the Demon? Ben asks Strange if he’s feeling better because they could use some good old-fashioned whammy. Or, adds Carol, he could just tell those who aren’t master magicians what on Earth is going on and how to save Luke. “Please,” begs Jessica. Nearby, the Eye begins to take control of Iron Fist and both Strange and Hellstrom realize that the power has been transferred.
From nowhere, Brother Voodoo appears and warns the demon now controlling Iron Fist that it shall not pass. He is Voodoo. He is Sorcerer Supreme of this dimension. He calls the demon a coward who snuck up on him and gave it his best shot. However, he has lost his chance. He will release the human and surrender the Eye. The Eye does not leave with him. “And you can tell you master,” adds Hellstrom, “I said go $@$%@# yourself.” Strange reiterates that the Eye will not leave this dimension. The demon snarls back, ”Well… that’s not true at all.” Dr. Strange replies that he has been warned. He casts the Terron Attack Spell from the Books of Dormammu, the Crytorryk Bands of Containment from the Scrolls of Crytorryk-Sar and the Sinktari Attack Spell from the Books of Shataki. As the spells begin to work, the demon tells Strange that he will be punished. He disappears in a flash of white light and Strange gasps. “No.”
Ms. Marvel asks if it took Danny. Strange can’t believe it, and Luke asks what the hell. Hellstrom grabs Brother Voodoo and asks him angrily what he did. Voodoo closes his eyes and asks himself the same question. Hellstrom cries that he’s the Sorcerer Supreme and he let this happen. He is furious and both Ben and Ms. Marvel are unable to hold him back. He summons his staff and screams that he should kill Voodoo for allowing this to happen. Ben tells him that this isn’t going to help and asks Voodoo how they can go get Danny. Hellstrom drops to his knees and puts his head in his hands, saying they don’t understand. Spider-Man says he’s right. They don’t. So what is the Eye and where did it go? Strange sighs that without the Eye of Agamotto they forfeit. Voodoo asks Strange what he should do. Carol asks what they forfeit. Spider-Man’s spider sense then kicks in and they all look up to the sky. It is burning and a large fissure has opened up. “Everything,” replies Doctor Strange.

Untitled
Victoria Hand is alone in her car and parked at the side of the road. She pauses a moment and then says the word no over and over again. She then gets out of the car, flails around for a while in frustration and then gets back inside. "Captain America!" she snarls. He said to her that there wasn't a thought in her head that he agreed with, but he thought she was a patriot. "So go be an Avenger," he said. Be an Avenger, thinks Victoria. Like it's a good thing. Why don't they just call it what it is? Instead of going to jail, she has to go take from Luke Cage and Wolverine for the rest of her life. She grips the steering wheel tightly. "That's what it is!"
She pauses a moment before screaming at the top of her voice, attracting the attention of a guy climbing into a cab thirty yards away. She tries to calm herself down and says fine. Fine. She'll show them what the world is supposed to be. As she speaks to herself, she looks up and sees the skies ripping apart. Onlookers are shocked at the glowing orange light that comes through the clouds.
(elsewhere)Iron Fist finds himself in a featureless environment. Everything is white and he can't even see the ground he's standing on. He looks around but sees no one. He says hello, but all he hears are two voices, and neither of them is addressing him directly. "What is he?" asks the first. Their companion informs them that he is called the Iron Fist. He was one of the mortals aligned with both Doctor Strange and Brother Voodoo. The first asks why he is there. The second explains that he used his body as a vessel to travel. He had the Eye of Agamotto. He brought him there to bring the Eye. It's in his hand. It was a struggle but he got him there. His body should have melted into nothing but slag and ash when it came. The first doesn't understand, but he believes he must be a protected form.
Iron Fist tells whoever it is that if he's dead and this is it, he's going to be so angry. The first asks how he is there. Danny replies that it feels like a trick question, being as he doesn't know where he is and who they are.
(back in New York City)Watching strange demons emerge from the fissure above them, Hellstrom explains that their dimension is torn. It was weakened and now it is torn. Spidey remarks that he's not a fan of sky lighting on fire and opening up and demons from hell dropping out of it. And he's definitely not a fan of both things happening at once. Logan asks the ‘magic guys' what they have. Jessica asks where the tear came from and Luke wonders where Danny is. "What do we do?" asks Mockingbird. The Avengers feel a little out of their comfort zone.
The sorcerers consider what they might be. Brother Voodoo thinks they are Wolfsblood from the Dark Dimension, but Strange believes otherwise. Ms. Marvel asks if she can punch one before people start getting eaten. "You need permission?" asks Mockingbird. Carol takes to the air and asks Spidey to take the street. Luke asks Strange what the plan is. He tells Voodoo and Hellstrom that he wants to go away with them to Jericho's Sanctum to find a solution. Jessica can't believe they're leaving and Bobbi asks if they're leaving them there to deal with the demon horde from hell. Hellstrom assures her that they are probably not from hell. He would recognize those. These are much worse.
Jessica tells Luke that she has to get to the baby. He advises her to take her to her mom's in New Jersey. Jessica promises to be back as soon as she can. Wolverine and Mockingbird both nervously joke as to whether she needs a nanny. Anything's better than being there. Spidey swings around as Ms. Marvel and the Thing discuss the Ghostbusters movie. They fight demons as they go, trying to protect the innocent civilians caught up in this nightmare. Spidey wonders if they should open a dialogue between themselves and the demons to see if they can't come to some peaceful accord. Ben smashes one and replies that it's not his style. Wolverine slashes at more demons and Luke says that it's his first day as an Avenger, kind of, and look at the mess they're in.
The Thing gets grabbed by several demons but that only serves to anger him. He throws them away in every direction with the phrase, "Playtime's over!" Spidey asks what's wrong with Clobbering Time. If there was ever a time he would designate as a time to clobber… it would be this time. Ben replies that if he's gonna become an Avenger, he's gonna have to come up with a new Avenger-friendly catchphrase… no? It's the all-new-him. Spidey grapples with more demons and tells Ben that he didn't come all this way in life to finally be in the Avengers with him, only to have him pull something like this. Ben says he can grow as a person and try new things, but Spidey reckons you have to give people what they want. Does he see him skimping out on the nervous patter that covers up the fact that he's wet himself because it looks like they've been replaced as the dominant species on the planet? No. Ben should learn from example, he feels.
(Avengers Mansion)Jessica arrives back at the mansion but immediately sees a hole open up above her and a horde of demons descend. She becomes embroiled in a fist fight against the similarly-sized demons. As she grabs one around the neck she remarks that it's been a while since she's done the super hero thing and, to be honest, she wasn't that good at it then. As she is grabbed by several pairs of clawed hands, Victoria Hand emerges from inside and asks her if she can fly. "If you can fly, girl," she cries, "Fly!" Jessica shoots skywards as Victoria aims her massive gun at the demons. She fires and the weapon makes short work of the invaders.
Jessica returns and Victoria asks what the hell all this is about. Jessica admits that she has no idea. Victoria asks then what she needs her to do, at which point Jessica dashes inside and asks her to go help the others. She needs to get her baby. She thanks Victoria and says it was pretty decent of her to help out. Victoria sees a demon trying to get back in its feet and fires once again. "You kids settle down!" Moments later, Luke sees Jessica flying past with Danielle in her arms. Free to concentrate on the task at hand, Luke smashes a demon, asking if any of these punks speaks anything remotely close to English. Meanwhile, as Mockingbird uses her agility to evade a grabbing hand, Wolverine notes that this isn't getting any better. He hopes the magic boys know what they're doing.
(meanwhile)Doctor Strange teleports the trio of sorcerers to Jericho's Sanctum Sanctorum in New Orleans. Hellstrom asks what the hell they're going to do. Strange replies that they have to find out what dimension is attacking them. Voodoo adds that they need a copy of Tytrek's dimension guide. Hellstrom asks Strange who might be strong enough to possess him but Strange admits he's not as strong a mystic as he used to be. "Bull," grins Hellstrom. "You're Doctor Strange." He knows that he doesn't get possessed by some D-Level demon from some @$&*%$ dimension. And he sure as hell doesn't either. This is a big deal. This is a heavy hitter using some strong magics to pull some big moves.
Brother Voodoo says he's right and Hellstrom replies, "Damn right, I'm right." Voodoo lowers his head and says he's failed completely as Sorcerer Supreme. Hellstrom gets in his face and asks him to cry in his soup on his own time. Voodoo replies that they took his brother, they took Iron Fist. Can he imagine two nobler men to have been felled by his failure? Hellstrom didn't know about Daniel, so he gets off Voodoo's case and asks Strange who is powerful enough and motivated enough to try a play like this. Strange admits that he doesn't know.
(elsewhere)Iron Fist, maintaining a defensive posture, asks his unseen captor one last time who he is. He replies that they recognize the emblem on his uniform. It's the molten heart of the dragon Shou-Lao. He is a true mystic warrior. Danny asks him what he wants. A cookie? The second voice asks what that means. The first says that it means of all the mortals he could have taken possession of to be taken there, he picked one who is protected by the sacred arts. "How was to know?" the second replies.
The first asks Danny to hand over the Eye of Agamotto and he will respect him and his teachings and let him walk away from this. Danny replies that he's finding himself under the impression that if he could take it from him he would. But… he can't, can he? The first one replies that a deal could be struck. Danny turns and walks away. That's what he thought. He tells the demon to send him home before he rips him to oblivion.
They ask Danny how he would do that. "Two words," he replies. "Doctor and Strange, so you better..." The stranger cuts him off mid-sentence and replies that those are the wrong two words. They use magic to attack Iron Fist who turns and shouts at his foe. He tells him to show himself and show some honor. A figure emerges from the whiteness and tells Danny that he brought up the name of Stephen Strange and he talks about honor? This is why his kind no longer gets to rule their own dimension: ignorance and weakness. Does he think there is anything Doctor Strange knows that he does not? Danny is shocked as the figure becomes clear. It's the Ancient One and he says the answer is no, because everything Strange knows he taught him. "He is my greatest failure," he adds. "And it is because of him your time is done."

Untitled
Faced with a horde of rampaging demons, Spider-Man is more than a little concerned. As his fellow Avengers and Victoria Hand (sporting a very large gun) defend themselves with force, Spidey cries out that he doesn’t think this is working. The city looks like a battle zone beneath them.
(Doctor Voodoo’s Sanctum Sanctorum, New Orleans)Jericho Drumm, Daimon Hellstrom and Dr. Strange are gathered around a table with several tomes laid out before them. Hellstrom doesn’t think this should be too hard, considering there are three of them working on the problem. They’ve been studying the mystic arts their entire adult lives, so they have a lot of know-how. So, why can’t they figure out who is doing this and what they want? Strange replies that it’s hard to read with him yelling in his face. Hellstrom bangs his fist on the table and replies that all he’s saying is that the time for reading was every other time but this time. He feels that Strange should already know what this is. He was master of the mystic arts and Drumm is master of the damn arts. Their educated guesses should be fantastic!
Brother Voodoo continues to ignore him and asks Strange about past concerns like Baron Mordo or Dr. Doom; maybe any of the rulers of the dark dimension. Strange replies that he thought of this, but here is his thinking. He explains that they can rule out any of the normal antagonists they have to deal with on Earth. How would ripping this dimension open and letting another dimension pour into it and invade logically benefit anyone who is trying to create something themselves here? Hellstrom wonders if maybe it’s just a crazy person who wants everything in this dimension to go away. Like, if I can’t have it no one will. Like, my girlfriend dumped me and now I’m going to get back at everyone. He adds that he warned Strange that they were being invaded because they weakened this dimension to breaking point.
Strange reckons that it’s someone or something from somewhere else. It’s someone who wants this dimension to be part of their own, or someone who wants this dimension to collapse. But, he wonders, who would benefit from such a catastrophe? And, who are they that they need the Eye of Agamotto to succeed at their quest? Hellstrom snarls that they took the Eye of Agamotto and they are succeeding. Strange wonders who could do that. It’s someone who is skilled and powerful; someone who knows how to take possession of them even though they’re trained not to let that happen. It’s someone so powerful that they were able to come into this dimension and they couldn’t feel their presence until they wanted them to.
Brother Voodoo says that they took his brother’s spirit and they took Danny Rand, the Iron Fist. One would hope that, wherever they are, either one of them or both of them are making it very difficult for whoever is behind this to go further. Strange thinks that at this juncture they shouldn’t be getting their hopes up about anything. Strange asks Jericho to show him what’s happening in New York. He opens his arms out wide and uses the Houdon-Lou visualization spell of the real to reveal its image. They see New York City with a massive interdimensional tear spreading out overhead. It’s worse than they thought.
(New York City)Luke Cage batters another demon and admits that the fact that they’re not talking to them is getting on his nerves. He sees Ben Grimm, Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel struggling to hold their own against the opposition. As more demons leap on him, he wonders whether they should call the other Avengers or the Fantastic Four perhaps. As he gets swamped, he looks over and sees demons being blasted sky high. The blast distracts Wolverine and Ms. Marvel. “Sweet Christmas girl,” gasps Luke. Jessica emerges from the pile of downed demons and Luke tells her that she gets major wife points for that one. As she is grabbed from behind, Luke reminds her that, although he knows that she’s relearning the super hero stuff, she’s got to watch her back.
When he asks if the baby’s okay, she informs him that she is in New Jersey with her mom. He asks if Jersey is okay. “Jersey is Jersey,” she replies. Luke explains that he means… is it like this! Jessica looks around and sees demons everywhere and replies that nothing is like this! She grabs him by his armpits and takes to the air, informing him that her mom is mad at him. Luke asks what he did, but Jessica says she didn’t say her mom was sane. Ms. Marvel flies past and asks Jessica to fly Luke over the Guggenheim and drop him in the middle. That is the biggest gathering of these things. She is going in to the dimensional tear to see if she can stop this at its source.
Watching from afar, Hellstrom asks the other two to tell him she’s not that stupid. Strange then notices what she’s doing and cannot believe it. He immediately projects his astral self out of his body and shoots over to join Carol. Back in New York, even Jessica wonders whether Carol should be doing that. As Carol flies into the breach, she is surprised that it isn’t hot. As she gets further in, she begins to scream in agony. Jessica is so shocked at her reaction that she drops Luke who tells her to go. “I’m not going to make it,” she cries. Carol continues to scream as Jessica flies as fast as she can towards her.
Down below, Victoria Hand and the Avengers are worried for her and Victoria asks why she doesn’t fly out of it. At that moment, Dr. Strange’s astral form flies at Carol and grabs her own astral form, leaving her physical body to fall. Jessica catches her body and Ben Grimm manages to grab Luke before he lands.
Strange asks her to listen to him, though she appears to be very frightened. He explains that he just saved her life but he had to pull her astral form out of her physical self or she would have been sucked into the dimensional rift. Her body would have disintegrated - even someone as powerful as her. He assures her that both her body and her essence are okay but she mentions that she finds it all very weird… and she gave birth to an alien once. He heads to the ground and asks Jessica to bring her body to him. He then asks Carol to focus, settle down and try to go mentally limp for just one second. She tells him that shouldn’t be a problem. “Good,” replies Dr. Strange. “I was being sarcastic,” quips Carol. He asks her to hold still and then successfully transfers her astral self back into her body.
Spider-Man then looks up and sees the dimensional tear become more agitated. Bright white beams then shoot to Earth all around them and the Avengers can only look on, not knowing what is happening. Each of the demons they were fighting is then somehow taken back into the dimensional tear. Ben reckons the show must be over and Carol asks if they can go home now. Wolverine tells them that they ain’t done yet. Out of the tear they see a figure fall to Earth. Carol quickly heads after them. Also watching events are Daimon Hellstrom and Brother Voodoo. They’ve seen who it is that is falling and Jericho states that Dr. Strange is going to need his body back in New York. Hellstrom grabs it and asks Jericho to take him there.
Meanwhile, Carol catches the falling figure and Luke recognizes him as they descend. “Is… is it you?” he asks. “It’s him,” replies Wolverine. Once on the ground, Iron Fist, somehow sporting a new white and cold costume, tells Luke that it’s him. He made it back. They let him go. In his hand he holds the Eye of Agamotto.
Hellstrom asks how the hell he’s still alive. Strange is surprised they let him keep the Eye. Does he know what they were? Did anything communicate with him? Shockingly, Danny smashes him in the face. Luke and Carol immediately grab him and hold him back, but Danny snarls at Dr. Strange. “You arrogant son of a bitch!” he snaps. He points at Strange and explains that this is all his fault. Luke asks what happened to him. Danny replies that he found out the truth about their little magic friend. He holds up the Eye and asks them if they know what it is. It’s the all-seeing Eye of Agamotto. Do they know what he did to get it? Do they know who he took it from?
Strange recovers and informs Danny that it was given to him by his master. “I know,” replies Iron Fist. “I just talked to him!” Strange replies that he’s been dead for years. Danny screams that he looked pretty okay to him. And, he adds, he made it pretty clear that all the trouble they’ve been having is because the Eye doesn’t belong to him. And, he made it pretty clear that Dr. Strange knows this. Strange asks Danny to listen to him. “The Ancient One lived to be over 500 years old. It was then that…” Danny interrupts him and asks him straight up, as a friend, who the Eye belongs to.
Strange pauses. “The Ancient One came to you?” he asks. Danny again asks who the Eye belongs to. “In what form?” asks Dr. Strange, ignoring the question. Danny is relentless, once again asking who it belongs to. Strange begins to walk towards Danny and asks him to give him the Eye. Danny holds up the Eye which begins to glow. He replies that he would, but his old mentor gave Strange a clear ultimatum. The mess that they’re in today was created by Strange because he stole the Eye from its rightful owner… The Ancient One said, and Danny believes him, that the fight they had today was just a taste, a sampler. So, he’s going to asks Dr. Strange again. “Whose is this really?”

Untitled
(Years ago)A hooded man named Rasputin holds up a photograph of Dr. Strange and Spider-Man to a ninja, who is surrounded by several more dangerous-looking ninjas. He explains that the man in the photograph’s name is Dr. Strange and he knows that the ninja has heard of him. Heis the unchallenged and uncontested master of the mystic arts and he wants their help in killing him. The ninja says he means he wants them to do it for him. Rasputin says he will pay. He has the money. The ninja replies that he knows. To even get an audience with the Hand means that they know who he is and that he can pay. But, he adds, the question is, what has Dr. Strange done to him? Rasputin says it’s not about that. It’s about the Eye of Agamotto. He points to it in the photograph, hanging from Dr. Strange’s neck. He explains that it means nothing to them but it means everything to him. He wants it, but he can’t get it whilst Dr. Strange lives.
The ninja asks what it does. “For you, nothing,” replies Rasputin. He’d have to train for years to even hold it. The ninja asks who Agamotto is. Rasputin says that no one is even sure. “That’s not entirely true,” says a voice nearby. The two men turn to see Dr. Strange’s manservant Wong standing there, bowing politely. He explains that Agamotto is one of the three eternal Vishanti. This, by definition, makes him one of the most powerful mystical entities in the universe. Some say he was the first sorcerer supreme on Earth, and this was back when magic was more than the occult. It was currency.
Surrounded by ninjas holding their swords in readiness, Wong continues to point out that the Eye of Agamotto is a gift to this dimension. It is passed down from generation to generation of sorcerers supreme who have earned it by meditation and study. The all-seeing Eye is aconduit of knowledge and power only for those who are chosen, and it is the Eye that chooses. You simply cannot have it by killing and stealing. Many have tried and all have failed.
The head ninja asks Rasputin who the man is. Rasputin tells him that it’s Wong and he then asks Wong how he found them. How did he know they were there and just appear? Wong replies that if he doesn’t know that then he certainly doesn’t deserve the Eye and that is what he came to tell them. Rasputin asks if Dr. Strange couldn’t face him himself. He pulls out a pistol and aims it at Wong. “Big mistake. Big, big mistake. Because now we have something to barter with,” he replies. Dr. Strange appears behind Wong and he tells his boss that he was right again. Rasputin completely missed the point. He and Dr. Strange immediately go on the offensive against the Hand ninjas. “At least we tried to educate them,” quips Dr. Strange.
(now)The environment is one of almost perfect whiteness. Daniel Drumm wanders through the bright landscape asking if anyone is there. He introduces himself and then calls out for his brother, Jericho. He asks if he can hear him. He doesn’t know where he is; where the demons have taken him. He looks around, frightened. “I think… maybe… I have finally passed on.”
In New York City, the place is a mess following an attack by demons through an interdimensional tear. Hawkeye manages to push a taxi cab off him and he heads back to the mansion past a smoldering body in the grounds - a demon killed during the invasion. As he approaches the house, the other Avengers come out to greet him. Mockingbird, morethan any, is happy he’s there and she leaps at him, planting a kiss on his lips. She asks what happened to him. His lip is swollen. He is more interested in what happened there! Did someone try to burn her hair? “Little bit,” she replies, keeping hold of him. He asks what’sgoing on. She replies that it’s magic stuff. He missed round one.
Clint pauses a moment and then tells her he has to leave. He just got an Avengers priority emergency call. They have this, right? “World’s coming to an end, man,” replies Wolverine. Clint replies that he was coming to tell them he was no longer on the team anyhow. With that, he departs leaving the Avengers to wonder what could be more important that’s going on there. Spider-Man says he was supposed to be on that team, too. How come he didn’t get an Avengers priority emergency call? Bobbi asks if he has that thing that sends out the signal. Spidey admits that he didn’t know there was one. “Well there you go,” she replies. Wolverine asks him not to worry about it. They have their hands full there.
(Brother Voodoo’s Sanctum Sanctorum, New Orleans)Jericho Drumm is alone in his home. He leafs through several books trying to figure out what caused the current mess and becomes frustrated when he finds himself unable to. He is shocked when his brother’s face appears before him. “Jericho!” he screams. Though startled, he recognizes his brother’s image and, as it dissipates, he calls out Daniel’s name. With Daniel’s mysterious appearance and subsequent disappearance, this leave Jericho more frustrated than ever, but at least he now has a clue where he might be.
(Avengers Mansion)Dr. Strange tells his fellow Avengers that he’s sorry that they have to go through this due to his failure as sorcerer supreme. Luke assures him that no one is blaming him for this. Strange adds that he knew there would be people who would challenge him and Doctor Voodoo. However, he didn’t think it would be this bad. Daimon Hellstrom says that no one did, but Strange replies that he did. “Well, that’s just me,” replies Hellstrom. “But I certainly didn’t think it would get this bad so quickly.” Iron Fist doesn’t think that Strange is telling them the whole story. Strange asks him to believe him when he says that he knows he saw some strange things in the other dimension, but they are nothing compared to the frustration he has with himself. He tells Iron Fist that the problem is that the image of the Ancient One coming to him and trying to get him to hand over the Eye of Agamotto feels false. “I know what I saw,” replies Danny. Strange says he doesn’t deny that the image appeared before him, but it is illogical. Daimon Hellstrom concurs.
Strange continues to say that if his master were to return from whatever spiritual place he has chosen to reside and if, for whatever reason, he came back to challenge them for the Eye of Agamotto, then no one understands the rituals involved more than he. The Ancient One is the man who bequeathed the Eye to him in the first place, as he then bequeathed it to Jericho Drumm. He feels that whoever is trying to get hold of the Eye needs to do so to free them from wherever they are trapped. “Or…” says Hellstrom. “Or they need this to properly take over this dimension,” replies Strange. He feels that they failed at every attempt and now he is trying base trickery to get Iron Fist to attack him; to weaken him and buckle his spirit. He is trying everything he can to get his hands on the eye because he simply cannot do it himself. Danny tells Strange that the Ancient One told him Strange put a series of spells on the Eye to keep him from getting his hands on it again. Strange replies that it’s just not true. Danny now feels a little awkward and apologizes for punching him.
Dr. Strange holds out the Eye which glows with mystical energies. He reckons that it’s not actually a bad idea. He uses the Yoovies Spell of Itemized Protection from the Book of Vishanti. It’s the best he can do. Hellstrom doesn’t feel that it’s going to stop a force thisstrong, but Dr. Strange doesn’t think it’ll hurt. He places his hand on Danny’s shoulder and informs him that he was forced to travel to a dimension that no human being has the capacity to even understand exists. The fact that he is still alive is a testament to his own spirituality and training.
The team chats among themselves. Wolverine asks, in that case, who wants the Eye and why do they want it. Ms. Marvel asks if it’s worth letting them tear the world apart to get it. Jessica wonders how much time they have before this %&*@%$ unleashes the hounds of hell or whatever that was again. Luke Cage wonders where Brother Voodoo actually is. Victoria Hand asks if there’s a list of suspects. Dr. Strange replies that it’s the Eye of Agamotto. Anyone who knows of its existence, by definition, wants it. Spider-Man says, without even thinking about it, that maybe this Agamotto dude just wants his Eye back. Dr. Strange looks at him and then glances at Daimon Hellstrom. Spidey notes their body language and says he was joking. He asks if there actually is an Agamotto and is it his actual eye. “Yes,” replies Dr. Strange. “Son of a…” adds Hellstrom.
Jessica suggests that, if it’s his, then why not just give it back to him? Ben Grimm tells her you never give the bad guy what he wants. Jessica asks how they even know he’s the bad guy. Ben replies that his rule is, he is the good guy. If there’s someone hitting him then they’rethe bad guy. Ms. Marvel asks who it is they’re talking about. Dr. Strange explains that it’s very hard to describe but Hellstrom informs her that he was the first sorcerer supreme. Ben asks if this is one of those things where the guy is a billion years old and transcended the Earthly plane and now thinks he may know better than all of them. “That’s exactly what it is,” replies Hellstrom. Ben smugly replies that he knows a thing or two about a thing or two.At that moment, Spidey notices something unusual. Everyone turns to see a mystical tiger approaching through the doorway. “By the Vishanti,” sighs the tiger. “Mortals love to talk. The Eye please.” Immediately, Daimon Hellstrom and Dr. Strange create defensive spells and Strange orders it to reveal its true form. The tiger turns into a human/tiger hybrid and stands up, asking if he really wants to go to war with the forces of Agamotto and the hordes of the Light Dimension. “The Light Dimension?” asks Strange. Hellstrom replies that it kind of feels like they’re at war already. Agamotto tells them to surrender or they are going to force him to make them cease to exist. If they end their struggle now they can make this all go away. They should give him back what he wants, but give the Eye of their own free will. Strange tells him that if he truly is the mighty Agamotto then he knows it’s not his to give. It belongs to Jericho Drumm, Brother Voodoo, sorcerer supreme. So, his answer is still no.
Agamotto replies that once again he has chosen poorly. He transforms into an energy form and then infects Dr. Strange’s fellow Avengers: Thing, Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel and Wolverine. He tells Strange, through their mouths, that the Vishanti are no more. He needs the Eye and all his power. This dimension means nothing to him. It means nothing to the power balance of all that is. If he hasn’t made himself perfectly clear, Strange should know that he will take this as far as it needs to go. Strange defends himself against Ms. Marvel and replies that it’s a lie that the Vishanti are no more. How would he not know that? Agamoto replies that these matters are far above the level of study that he deals in. With Ms. Marvel’s powered-up fist and Wolverine’s claws near Strange’s eyes, he tells Strange to respect him.
With great timing, Brother Voodoo appears and he uses his staff to attack Agamotto with Corelli’s Exorcism Reversal Battle Attack. He is caught by surprise and releases his hold over the Avengers. Brother Voodoo takes the Eye from Dr. Strange and thanks him for protecting it, but it’s his responsibility now. Wolverine asks them how they want to bring this home. They should tell them what to do. Voodoo holds up the Eye which glows brightly. He says he knows exactly what to do. “Agamotto,” he says. “I challenge you!” A bright burst of mystical energy envelopes them and Agamotto replies, “I accept.”Daimon Hellstrom asks Jericho what the hell he just did. He turns and informs them that since this began he’s been wondering why whoever was behind this did not reveal themselves directly, and now that they know who it is, he knows exactly why. He explains that the reason Agamotto did not reveal himself is because he didn’t want them to take this challenge. Dr. Strange tells them that the sorcerer’s challenge is a death match. Spidey asks if they do that a lot. “Not as a habit,” replies Strange. Ms. Marvel asks what happens now. Jericho replies that he finds him and does battle.
Hellstrom asks if he’s out of his mind. He tells him he’s a nice guy but he’s in no way capable of doing mystical battle with an immortal transcended sorcerer supreme. When Dr. Strange adds that he doesn’t even know where he is, Voodoo conjures up the Acallonmy’s spell of image imagining and produces an image of his brother, Daniel. He says he does. His brother, possibly with his dying breath, contacted him and showed him exactly where they are. It’s a dimension of light; a dimension uncharted by them. If the Vishanti are no more, then that explains a great deal. The mystic power of the universe is in flux and Agamotto is not the creature he once was. They will find out shortly.
Mockingbird asks if they can help. Jericho proceeds to explain that using the Macoldine spell of binding, they could gather all the powers of the Avengers into one vessel. It’s not against the rules exactly, but it certainly bends them. With nobody in disagreement, Jericho performs the Colognener’s preparation spell from the Book of Vishanti. Spidey asks if it’ll hurt, and if so, for how long? Jericho replies that it’s never been accomplished on the mortal plane. “Oooooh, good,” sighs Spidey.
In character, Wolverine puts himself forward to be the vessel. He can do what needs to be done in a way that Jericho can’t. Ben quips that he thinks it’s a compliment. Jericho replies that it’s his challenge and it should be him. Dr. Strange turns to Daimon Hellstrom and both agree that it’s not actually a bad idea. It’s a smarter move and not what Agamotto will be expecting. It might be the edge they need. Jericho reluctantly accepts the decision and asks the assembled Avengers if anyone is walking away. “In my mind I am,” quips Spidey. Luke asks what he needs them to do.
Jericho asks them to form a circle and for Logan to sit in the middle. They do as requested and sit down holding hands while Wolverine remains standing at the center. Jericho then uses the Mage Sorcerer’s fortification chant from the Book of Magii to create the spell and Wolverine begins to writhe in agony. With the combined powers at his disposal, Brother Voodoo’s essence then leaves his body and transfers to Logan, who takes on their myriad powers. Once the transfer is complete, Jericho collapses from the exertion and Spidey asks if that’s it. Ben looks over to Logan and asks if he’s okay. Logan, standing with both sets of claws extended and with both Hellstrom’s star and Iron Fist’s dragon emblazoned on his chest. “Better than okay,” he snarls. “Point me!”

Untitled
The Avengers surround Wolverine with concerned looks on their faces. Wolverine has been provided with their combined powers in order to do battle with Agamotto. Daimon Hellstrom, Brother Voodoo and Dr. Strange, three of the most powerful sorcerers on Earth have enhanced those powers with every spell set they know. They believe Logan is as ready as he will ever be to fight for the future of not only Earth, but the entire dimension.
When he arrives in the spirit plane, Agamotto, in the form of a female Loki, is there waiting for him. Strange creatures move around as the two men confront one another. Using Mordo’s spell of false visualization to create the Loki form, Agamotto tell him that he finds the fact that his sorcerer supreme used a messenger to fight his battle disappointing. “Shape-shifting?” replies Wolverine. He’s seen parlor tricks like this before. Agamotto changes form with each blow and attacks Wolverine with spell after spell. Plucking memories from Wolverine’s mind, Agamotto changes into Mystique’s form and informs him that this is a battle of spiritual integrity; a battle of dimension. Everything counts. Every slight, every hurt, every intention. He changes into Daken’s form and Wolverine manages to plunge his claws into Agamotto’s chest. He changes into Jean Grey and Wolverine tells him that’s good to know. He asks how he’s doing.
(the physical plane)The Avengers look on with Spider-Man, impressed that they have a visualization of what is going on in the spirit plane. Hellstrom reminds him to stay focused, though being Spider-Man he finds it difficult to do that. Iron Fist asks the two doctors what they do next. Dr. Strange says they should support Wolverine, though Ben Grimm asks how they do that, exactly. Brother Voodoo remarks that he is the sorcerer supreme and it should be him fighting this fight. Strange asks him to stay the course. Jessica states that they really are in way over their heads, a fact that Luke agrees with. Mockingbird watches the fight progress and doesn’t think that Logan is doing so well. Hellstrom doesn’t respond, but his eyes indicate that he concurs.
(the spiritual plane)Wolverine taunts Agamotto by telling him that for all his “fancy witchin’ this ain’t nothing more than a power grab.” He’s nothing but a street punk. Agamotto replies that he is not familiar with all his modern figurative speech but he believes that Logan is trying to belittle him. He changes into the form of the Hulk and asks him to pretend he’s better than that. They should pretend that this is a fight for his entire life and the lives of everyone he knows. He will pretend that this is a fight for the entirety of his own existence and all he needs to be real and true. Only then will either one of them feel good about what they need to do there. Agamotto blasts Logan once again with an attack spell and admits that he is a noble warrior and he promises that, once he has folded this dimension, no one will ever remember that it even existed. They will just cease to be.
(the physical plane)The assembled Avengers can feel the battle. Brother Voodoo informs them that they’re sharing spirit. Spidey point out that, even though they’re not even in this battle, they’re getting beaten up. Daimon Hellstrom tells him he’s in the fight in every way. Meanwhile, Victoria Hand emerges from Dr. Strange’s sanctum sanctorum carrying a hefty-looking weapon. She sees the crowd of people gathered silently at the gates and then looks up to the sky to see a small interdimensional tear forming once again.
(the spirit plane)Wolverine may possess many abilities but Agamotto is still powerful and he continuously blasts Logan with spell after spell. He tells Logan that he hasn’t faced a battle like this for two thousand years. Even on the physical plane, the power is enough to cause concern to the Avengers watching. They can actually feel the energy. As Agamotto pummels Wolverine, he doesn’t see another contender approaching from his blind side. Daniel Drumm’s spirit heads to the fight, and on Earthhis brother Jericho is shocked to see him. Drumm grabs one of the strange demons that are in the vicinity and channels himself through it.
Agitated, Jericho wonders what his brother is doing but Hellstrom asks him to settle down. “He is going to get himself killed!” cries Voodoo. Hellstrom reminds him that Daniel has been dead for years. He must settle down. Dr. Strange tells him that he is the anchor. On the spirit plane, Wolverine attacks Agamotto with ferocity and Daniel then zaps him with a mystic bolt, causing Agamotto extreme pain. Wolverine plunges his claws into Agamotto’s chest once more as Agamotto fights back against Daniel. Agamotto complains that the terms of the challenge are being abused, but Daniel replies that he agreed to no such conditions. Agamotto blasts him hard and uses torture spells on both his antagonists causing them great agony.
On Earth, Jericho Drumm stands up as he sees Agamotto increase the strength of his attacks. Dr. Strange asks him to sit down but he is too far gone. Jericho holds out the Eye of Agamotto and prepares for action. He charges onto the spirit plane quickly; so quickly that Daimon Hellstrom is unable to prevent it. Dr. Strange is horrified as he knows the possible nightmarish outcome of such a venture. Outside the sanctum, Victoria looks up helplessly as the interdimensional tear is joined by many more. An unnaturally orange/white light shines down on Earth from each one.
Jericho Drumm appears in the spirit plane to see Agamotto in the form of the tiger he adopted once before. Jericho orders him to surrender. With Wolverine and Daniel both seemingly unconscious, Agamotto replies that surrender seems unlikely. Jericho tells him that he knows why he came for the Eye. It’s because, without the Vishanti in place, it’s the only thing that could defeat him. He figures that, if the Vishanti cast him out, most of his power must have been stripped from him. Agamotto attacks and Jericho responds with a powerful mystical attack of his own. The energies are incredible and Dr. Strange understands how this is going to play out. A tear forms in the corner of his eye as he sees the two sorcerers give everything they’ve got.
“I cast you out for all time!” cries Brother Voodoo. Both Wolverine and Daniel wake up and see what’s going on. However, they are unable to assist. Voodoo uses the Gorgorell Transportation Spell from the Book of Vishanti to send Wolverine back to here he came from and he arrives in a heap against the wall. “I end you,” says Jericho as energies flare up around he and Agamotto. Daniel calls out his brother’s name as Agamotto explodes, ripping Brother Voodoo apart as he does so. The Avengers look on with great sadness and Daniel is shocked at losing his brother once again.
Victoria Hand looks up to see the interdimensional tears close up and the sky begin to go back to normal. Daniel remains trapped in the spirit plane as the Avengers hold their heads in grief. “Did we win?” asks Wolverine, smoke rising from his back. When Dr. Strange asks himself why Jericho did that, Iron Fist tells him he saved the world. Strange points out that now they have no sorcerer supreme and the Eye of Agamotto is gone. “And that is only the beginning of how you’ll suffer,” says Luke.
They all turn to see him, his eyes lit up. Strange realizes that it’s Daniel who is in control now. He tells Dr. Strange, through Luke, that he is to blame for all this. He asks him to tell him why his brother had to die for this. To tell him how he set him up to fail. Dr. Strange assures him that he didn’t want this. He told him not to…
Before Dr. Strange can finish his sentence, Luke leaps at him crying, “You killed him!” Fortunately, before he can reach Strange, the Thing intervenes and he grabs Luke, wrestling him to the ground. Daniel cries out that he killed his brother and he will pay. He will suffer. He can promise him that. He will pay for what he has done to his family. As Ben holds him down, the possession ends and Luke opens his eyes and asks what’s going on. Hellstrom heads for the door and says he hates to tell them that he told them so. He guesses he’ll now go and tell everyone else.
He walks outside to where Victoria is standing and looks at the people gathered there. He says that he hopes the ‘dregs and slackers,’ as he calls them, appreciate what the Avengers have done for them today. They saved their lives. They saved the world and he doesn’t mean metaphorically and they’re not even going to come out and take a bow. He asks if they understand. The world gets to turn one more day because of them. So, they’d better go do something a hell of a lot more meaningful than watching reality TV and fighting over their seat on the bus. They’d better appreciate it. With that off his chest, he heads back inside.

Untitled
Luke Cage, Jessica and Iron Fist are standing outside Avengers Mansion with Annie from Damage Control. The mansion is in a sorry state and in desperate need of repair. Luke thanks her for coming out, but Annie replies that this is what Damage Control does - clean up the super-powered mess. She adds that they’re the ones who rebuilt Avengers Mansion to start with. She thought the new build would last a little longer.
Luke asks how much it’s going to cost but Danny Rand steps in and says he’ll take care of it. He’s sure his Rand Corporation personal insurance will cover it as he was in personal danger. Annie explains that Steve Rogers said to bill him. Luke isn’t comfortable with that at all. The point of all this was that they do this on their own. They don’t need Captain Awesome picking up the check every time they need his help. Annie tells him this is probably going to cost a quarter million dollars. Luke is speechless. Jessica grins and reckons that this is when Luke Cage gets off his high horse.
Annie writes something on her note pad and smiles. “Look at you, Luke Cage. All married with a kid.” Jessica asks if they know each other. “Ask him,” replies Annie. This time it’s Jessica who is speechless. Annie tells him that if this domestication doesn’t work out, he should give her a call. Danny’s and Jessica’s faces are a picture and Luke doesn’t know which way to turn.
(later)Dr. Strange gets out of bed and wanders downstairs. He finds the Avengers sitting around the table eating breakfast. With them is their new liaison, Victoria Hand. He doesn’t wish to interrupt, Strange interjects, he just wishes to thank them for all their help and he’s sorry his world intruded upon theirs yet again. Luke puts his hand on his shoulder and asks where he thinks he’s going. Strange replies that he must start his studies again and find a way to reach out to the other mystic students in this dimension.
Luke asks him where he’s going to live. He admits that he has a lot to figure out. Iron Fist asks why he doesn’t become an Avenger and let them help him get on his feet again. Strange says that’s all right. He’s been in this position before. Luke asks if, in all those books of his and after all the learning he’s done, did any of them happen to mention anything about being man enough to come to your friends for help when you need it? “Especially a big pile of friends who came to you when they needed help,” adds Wolverine. Spidey points out that he was also over-the top generous enough to let them hide in his house. “And let them eat your food and turn your life upside down,” adds Ms. Marvel.
Dr. Strange appreciates the comments, but has Luke heard that the brother of Doctor Voodoo declared that he would seek vengeance on him. As long as this is a genuine concern, don’t they think it would be irresponsible for him to live in the house with his wife and child? Luke turns to the others and raises his arm. He asks the rest to raise their hands if any of them have ever had the bad guy threaten all holy hell on them before he died, went to jail, disappeared, vanished or just in general felt like lipping off. Everyone raises their hand. He then asks them to raise their hand if they can think of at least ten times that has happened to them in the last calendar year. He tells Strange that they need him and he needs them so it’s Dr. Strange, the magic Avenger. Spidey likes that. Strange closes his eyes and sighs that it’s been so hard, and Luke puts his arm around his shoulder and introduces their newest recruit, Dr. Strange, the magic Avenger. Strange asks him not to please call him that.
Victoria Hand takes over the meeting and tells them she wasn’t there for their first meeting and doesn’t know what occurred. Carol Danvers explains that they left it just when they were about to figure out how all this is going to work and then the crazy magic-dimensional invasion attack thing happened. Luke adds that they were just settling on who was going to be on the team. Spidey puts his hand up and tells Victoria that he has a question. Who is she? She explains that she is Victoria Hand. She was asked by Commander Rogers to come there and help them in any way in order for them to make the world a better place. Spidey rubs his chin and asks why she looks familiar. She replies, cautiously, that she used to work for Norman Osborn.
Spidey turns away and says that’s what he thought. He thanks everyone for the dimensional invasion and the awkward emotional moments, but he guesses he’s done with this side of the Avengers franchise. Danny asks what the problem is. Spidey tells him the problem is Norman Osborn. Luke assures him it’s okay, but Spidey says it’s really not okay. Luke, playing with baby Danielle, informs him that Captain America vouches for her, but Spidey points at Wolverine and reminds him that Captain America vouches for him!
Victoria assures them that they all want the same thing. They want the world to be better than it is, but it was Captain America’s point of view that having someone with a different point of view to their own might be beneficial with the decision making process. Spidey isn’t very happy at all, but Victoria tells him that on his better days, Osborn had a vision for the world very similar to theirs. If Spider-Man sat and thought about it for two seconds it would probably scare the pants off him. She and Spider-Man argue a little longer before Victoria states that Norman Osborn is in jail. He broke the law and he is being punished. She hopes the Amazing Spider-Man lives up to reputation and is able to perceive both Osborn and herself as more complicated individuals than just garbage. She thinks Captain America’s point in having here there was so they could have someone they could disagree with but at the same time, respect them.
Luke reiterates that Captain America vouches for her. That’s got to be enough for now. Victoria thanks him, but Luke tells her to thank Cap. He’s still on the fence. Jessica adds that she’s not. Victoria says thank you, but Spidey says they can at least see his point, right? Spidey now feels awkward. He was going to leave full of righteous indignation, but now he doesn’t want to, and to just sit down feels a little embarrassing. Ms. Marvel sips her tea and asks him to go ahead. No one was listening anyway. Spidey takes a seat and thanks her.
Victoria cracks on with business. She hands out their first paychecks. Ms. Marvel and the Thing are pleased, but Luke is furious. He reckons this wasn’t the deal. They’re not on anyone’s payroll. Jessica disagrees and takes his off him. Danny backs Luke and explains that they agreed, in principal, that this team would fly on its own. Victoria is a little confused. They’re going to be the Avengers but they don’t want to be paid? Luke replies that if they’re being paid, then, by definition they’re being forced to answer to someone. He doesn’t want to answer to anyone but himself. Jessica whispers that they should talk about this privately, but Luke wants to speak about it now.
Jessica snaps at Luke. She tells him that first of all it’s not up to him whether the others get a paycheck or not. Also, it’s not fair of him to assume that everyone in this room has to live by his code. Secondly, wasn’t he part of a company called Heroes for Hire? Didn’t he invent the idea of someone being paid to be a super hero? His client is now Captain @%&*$% America. What’s the difference? “Good point,” asks Wolverine as he tucks into some lobster. Thirdly, adds Jessica, she was going to have a conversation with him about her going back to work as a private investigator because between the Civil War, the Skrulls, the Hood and all the other things, they don’t have any more money!
She lowers her voice and informs him that all the time they were hiding from the law, they weren’t making any money or paying insurance. Now they have a baby which needs food and diapers and toys and, holy lord, a nanny. If they don’t get some help she’s going to go *&%@£ in-sane. So, she continues, if he doesn’t want to take the money, she’ll take it for him and she’s going to hire a nanny and buy them some clean clothes. Luke admits that they should probably have had this conversation in private. “She did tell you,” grins Danny. Luke reckons in that case, they’re getting paid then.
Ben Grimm says it’s better than his Fantastic Four pay, which surprises Mockingbird. Victoria Hand informs them that Steve Rogers made it clear that nothing is going to be asked of them that wasn’t already agreed to. He said there is a budget for the Avengers that he was unaware of when last they spoke. He didn’t want them to worry financially. Spidey raises his hand and tells her he that didn’t get one. Victoria informs him that because they don’t know his real identity, the government can’t pay him a salary. Spidey sighs. This is just typical him. Spidey admits that he isn’t ready to take his mask off in front of Norman Osborn’s best friend.
Victoria moves on and says they have a budget for some house help. Jessica reckons that would be okay, and Dr. Strange lets them know that he might be able to help with that. Luke assures him he doesn’t have to clean their house for them, but Strange smiles. “I mean… I know someone.” Jessica reminds Luke that they need a nanny, and if this week’s been anything to go by, they need a super-powered nanny. Does anyone know anybody who is looking for anything remotely like that? Logan stands up and jokingly mumbles. “Okay, ‘I’ll do it.” Jessica reckons it’s time to go headhunting.
(later)A long list of possible nannies are interviewed for the job. They include Hellcat who doesn’t like babies per se, Firebird who sometimes loses control of fire, Mantis, D-Man, X-51and Echo. Molly Hayes is underage, Deadpool, Sepulchre, Stature and She-Hulk. Only one person appears to fit the bill.
As Damage Control fix up the building, Squirrel Girl is interviewed. Jessica finds her by far the most interesting candidate. Doreen finds it exciting to be in Avengers Mansion. Luke thought she used to be an Avenger, but she admits that she was in the Great Lakes Avengers. “That was a real thing?” asks Jessica. Doreen tells them that she finds it amazing what they’re trying to do. Being Avengers, being married, having a baby. It’s amazing. Whether or not she gets the job, it was truly awesome to meet them both. She’s been a fan a long time. Jessica thanks her for that and asks if she has any more questions. Doreen has just one. “Can I hold her?”
She takes hold of Danielle and gushes that she’s gorgeous. Jessica asks her if her tail is actually attached. Doreen tells her it is, but she’s in total control of it. Jessica turns to Luke and asks what he says. “If you’re happy, I’m happy,” he replies. “D-Man it is.” Jessica turns to Squirrel Girl and informs her that she’s hired and welcomes her to Avengers Mansion.
Doreen looks over to the archway and sees Ms. Marvel, Wolverine and Dr. Strange walking past. She tells Wolverine he looks well and he asks what she’s doing there. She explains that she’s working there now. Logan reminds her that they agreed never to see each other again. Doreen asks if he’s on the team. “I am,” replies Logan. “Oh,” she sighs. She then tells him she hopes they can agree to be professional. Logan replies of course. Doreen admits that he looks good, and Wolverine reciprocates. Jessica, sensing a moment, asks if she can have her baby.
They are interrupted by the arrival of Wong, Dr. Strange’s assistant. Strange welcomes him warmly and Wong quips that when he dedicated himself to Dr. Strange as Sorcerer Supreme, he closed his eyes and prayed that one day he would grow up to be a second-rate Jarvis for a second-rate pile of Avengers. As he walks away to his new quarters, he warns them that, once he gets it up, if anyone touches his kitchen he’ll burn it to the ground. “Anyone else feel some tears coming on?” asks Spidey. “You people are insane,” replies Victoria Hand. “Every single one of you.”

Untitled
Luke Cage is sitting in a diner waiting for Jessica to arrive. Two attractive women walk past and stop after recognizing him. They approach the window next to him and ask if he is Luke Cage… the Luke Cage. He says that he is. One of them tells him that she’s waited all her life to bump into an Avenger. He’s still an Avenger, right? “I am,” he replies. She tells him she wanted to bump into him or one of his friends just to say thank you. She doesn’t hear people thanking them enough. He’s probably saved her life and she doesn’t even know it. Luke tells her it’s damn nice of her to say so. She asks what he’s doing right now. Does he have any plans tonight? Would he like to go out with them? Luke flashes his wedding ring and informs her that he’s waiting for his wife. “Ugh!” she smiles, “A wife. That is too bad.”
Jessica joins him and tells him that was a good answer. The two women wave and walk away telling Jessica that she’s so lucky. Luke replies that he’s the lucky one. “Another good answer,” says Jessica. Luke grins and says this isn’t his first rodeo. Jessica takes a seat and Luke smiles at her. He reckons she really enjoyed that. Jessica grabs the menu and tells him she was just thinking of how much she saved him. What a horrible life he used to lead… skank ho after skank ho. Luke thanks her for saving him. “It was awful,” he jokes.
He tells her she looks great. Jessica replies that they haven’t been on a date like this in forever. Luke can’t remember going on a proper date. He doesn’t think that hiding in Dr. Strange’s basement during the super hero civil war is actually a date. Jessica says it’s weird that they got married, then. Luke tells her it would be an awfully bad time to find out they suck at this. He then asks if she is going to be a super hero or not. “Really?” she asks. “I don’t get to order first?” A waitress approaches. She tells him she doesn’t know. Luke tells her that he knows they’ve talked about it before but things are different now. She has to commit to their new lives in New York somehow or other.
He asks if he can say a few things. Jessica says she can’t see any possible way she could stop him. Luke tells her she is a mother, a wife and an Avenger. She’s great at it. He thinks that when they were younger, things didn’t go well for her, but that’s all behind her now. Now she’s a grown up. “Yeah,” she replies. “How did that happen?” Luke asks which part. She says all of it. Being a grown up. Who wants to be a grown up? Luke grins and tells her that she should be Jessica Jones - Power Woman.
As the bored waitress waits for them to finish their conversation, they discuss the name’s merits, or lack of and Jessica admits that she doesn’t know if she should even be doing this. If she dies, what happens to Danielle? She is a mother. She is someone’s mother and her parents died when she was a little girl. She’s lived her life without her real parents and knows exactly how that feels… every single second of it. He has unbreakable skin, a protective bubble around him but she doesn’t. She doesn’t have that luxury. But, she adds, here’s the big but. She should live a life by example. She should be the best she can be, if only to show her how you live your life. She should inspire her by being who she is.
Luke can only agree with her. Jessica asks if an Avenger being the best person she can be. Right now, the best person she can be is married to him and the best person she is, is being Danielle’s mother. These are all new things, so even coming to this realization is a huge step. Again, Luke agrees. So, Jessica continues, being a super hero and being an Avenger… is that who she is or is it just that it’s who she is because they are the circumstances she finds herself in? Luke reminds her that they didn’t stumble into this life, but Jessica replies, arms folded, that she didn’t go looking for it. “But here you are, replies Luke. “Power Woman.” Jessica tells him that just because he has unbreakable skin, it doesn’t mean she can’t find a way to stop him from saying that.
Luke tells her that he loves her. “And?” she replies. Luke reckons that she’s scared and she doesn’t like to be scared, but that’s okay. He is scared too. Just because he has unbreakable skin doesn’t mean… Jessica interjects, asking what he’s scared of. “Things I can’t control,” he replies. Before he can explain, Jessica look out the window and up into the sky. She sees a large silver object heading towards the city. Trying to stop it is Ms. Marvel. She pushes back with all her might but struggles to stop its momentum. Luke immediately heads outside purposefully as the object collides with a building and explodes in the street. Both people and cars fly in different directions. “That’s it!” cries one guy. “I’m done with this city!
Luke tries to corral people away from the crash site. He then spots Carol lying unconscious next to the object. He can’t believe it as Dr. Doom emerges from the object. Luke cries his name and leaps at him, but Doom zaps him causing another mighty explosion. Jessica gets on the phone to Avengers Mansion and tells them to get the Avengers here right now. “Avengers assemble!”
As Carol gets up, Luke engages Doom, smashing him through a nearby shop window. Luke asks Carol how this happened. She admits that she doesn’t know. “You came with it,” he reminds her. Carol explains that she was flying by and it came crashing down on top of her. Doom emerges from the shop and zaps them both so Carol responds by blasting him. She doesn’t suppose it would do any good to tell him he’s under arrest. She asks Luke how his date is going. Luke admits that he can’t get through to Jessica. Carol says she told him so. He should let it be. He asks what the plan is. Carol reckons they should stall Doom until the rest of the Avengers arrive. Luke reckons it’s a terrible plan. “Or we could just leave,” she replies.
Dr. Doom hits them both with another powerful electric blast which drops them both. As Luke gets up, Ms. Marvel takes to the air. She tells Doom that he isn’t his usual chatty self. Where’s all the propaganda he likes to throw at them while he whips up his magical whammies? she asks. Doom blasts her again. Luke groans and asks him what he did to him. “The end of times,” replies Doom as he opens his palm ready for another attack. Out of nowhere, Jessica slams a fire hydrant into him and pummels away leaving him no time to think. He manages to recover and tells her that he does not know of her. He prepares to attack but Luke tells him not the wife. Big no-no. He smashes Doom so hard his armor punctures and energy oozes from his face plate.
The three of them are perplexed. Luke doesn’t believe that it’s actually him, though he doesn’t know what it is. He bends down, takes a good look and reckons it might be a Doombot. Jessica asks what the hell that is. Luke replies that she used to be a detective. What does it sound like? “A robot made to look like Doctor Doom that Doctor Doom made because he’s crazy in love with himself?” she suggests. “Bingo,” replies Luke. Jessica asks what it’s doing here. Luke reminds her that he hasn’t left her side all day. There’s nothing going on here that he knows that she doesn’t. Jessica says she’s just thinking out loud. Luke tells her that she looks right at him when she does it. It makes him think she’s talking to him. Jessica smiles and says that’s his business. Luke tells her she’s just mad because she thought she’d beat up Dr. Doom and was all proud of herself. Jessica replies that he’s just mad because he thought he’d got beat up by Dr. Doom and now realizes it was just a robot. Luke grins and says she’s having a good time. She tells him he owes her a dinner.
The Quinjet then appears and out steps Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, Iron Fist and Wolverine. Ben Grimm tells Luke that he just beat up Dr. Doom. Luke admits it was just a Doombot. Ben rushes over to it and plucks its processing unit out. He warns Luke that you never, and he means never, leave a Doombot’s operating system operational. Its brain ain’t in its head. It’s in its chest. It wasn’t dead… it was rebooting. He asks what the hell it’s doing here.
later:Back at the mansion the Avengers are seated at the dinner table. Victoria Hand says that she’ll explain exactly what it was doing here, or at least what she’s allowed to say at this point. There’s not a lot she’s allowed to say because it’s mostly matters of national security, but supposedly there’s been a lot of chatter about Dr. Doom losing not only his footing as monarch of his country, but that he’s also losing his mind. Iron Fist asks if she means he’s going crazy. Before she answers, Spidey puts up his hand and asks if she can’t talk about matters of national security because he is here in his full body costume and mask. “Yes,” she replies. Spidey says he knew it. “Persecution complex assembled!” Ben tells her he knows a little about Dr. Doom and he knows that his run-ins with the Fantastic Four have been extra crazy. There is definitely something going on with that wackadoo. He wants to get his mitts on him.
Dr. Strange adds that he dabbles in the dark mystic arts. He has warned him that it would take its toll on any man. Carol asks Victoria what the Doombot was set to do. Victoria says she wasn’t told that, but Tony Stark was very excited to get his hands on it. He was giggling. “It was off-putting,” she adds in a whisper. But, Captain America, or rather Commander Rogers, wanted her to tell them that it was a great takedown. He seemed very happy. “Even though we don’t know what the hell it was about,” replies Mockingbird. Wolverine reckons life’s like that. You don’t always get to know everything about everything when you most want to know.
Jessica tells them that she’s not sure how much they care, but she’s been hemming and hawing about whether or not to be an Avenger or a super hero. The thing is, she’s decided that it’s best for everyone that maybe she should just go all in. So, from now on, if they don’t mind, she will go by the name of Power Woman. Luke stands up and punches the table. “Boo yah! Ha ha!” he smiles. “Big win! Awesome!” The conversation between the team then collapses into daftness.

Untitled
(Cuba, 1959)Two Nazi’s are driving through Bayamo in a red convertible looking for a Yankee that one of them saw earlier. He had an eye patch. His colleague doesn’t believe that it could be Nick Fury. That would be impossible. The other replies that he knows what he saw. As they head through traffic, they spot Fury standing on a street corner staring right at them. The car screeches to a halt and one of them, a tall mustachioed man, chases Fury, who makes a run for it. A local tries to tell him he’s stopped in the middle of the street but the driver aims his pistol at him and orders him to back off.
His colleague pushes people out of the way as he maintains his distance, following Fury along street after street before getting close enough for a shot. Fortunately for Fury, the bullet misses him and smashes a car window to his left. He then heads through an alley and into a busy street. Leaping over cars, Fury is fitter than the Nazi and the guy waits for his colleague to pull up alongside him. The driver calls his colleague a fat **** and shouts at him to get in. A bus blocks their path but once it passes they see Fury in the distance and they head off in hot pursuit. They follow him into a dark alley where their headlights pick him out of the shadows. By the time they see the two grenades being lobbed into their vehicle, it’s too late. They both leap from the moving car and hit the ground.
Fury approaches the driver and stands on his hand, causing him to cry out. The guy looks up to see that Fury is not alone. Fury tells him that on behalf of the United Allied Forces and his pals Dugan and Jones, he finds him and his dead Nazi pal guilty of crimes against humanity and God. Jones translates. “You can run but you can’t hide.”
Fury asks him if he has any last words. He replies that the war ended years ago. Fury asks Dugan if that’s true. “Damn, I think he’s right,” he replies. Fury says they were terrible last words. All three aim their pistols at him and he puts his hands together in front of his face and cries that he was only following orders. The three men grin back at him. “Now that’s just unoriginal,” says Nick Fury. The Nazi clenches his fist and tells them that the Reich will rise again. Those are his last words.
(present, Barrington, Rhode Island)The Avengers are standing together on a rooftop, staking out a store called Things & Things. Mockingbird is down below in her disguise as a shop worker, whilst the rest of them consider their options regarding their targets. Luke Cage wants to pounce on them and Ben Grimm is with him on that. Wolverine shushes them as Mockingbird radios in. Logan asks if there’s any movement down there, to which Bobbi replies that there’s plenty of that. There are some scary-looking human growth hormone experiments moving all their stuff into the premises. As she welcomes one of the guys to the neighborhood, she smiles and then informs Wolverine that they’ve got themselves a party. She tells him that she’s in position and the doctor can move in.
A vehicle pulls up and out steps a dark-haired woman with a short skirt and cloak. Luke asks who that piece of thickness is. He is informed that according to Victoria Hand, she is called Dr. Deidre Wentworth. Luke asks what she is. A doctor of fineness? Jessica reminds him that she’s there. Luke is told that Wentworth is their main target. Her S.H.I.E.L.D. file refers to her as Superia. He shouldn’t sell her short, either.
Down below, Superia walks into the store to find her people prepping the place. She approaches a bank of computers that are being set up and grabs a female by the throat, asking if that’s her new office. “If… if you want it to be, Doctor,” she replies, afraid. Superia is informed that it’s not yet wired to go as all her things are still in the trucks. She warns the young lady that it’s important that she dazzles her.
Doctor Strange uses Chenzy’s act of self-astral manipulation from the Book of Fire to see what she’s up to. He gather the information he needs and informs the others what he’s witnessed. As expected, Superia has gathered a militia of former H.A.M.M.E.R. agents and is setting up a high-tech installation. “In Rhode Island?” quips Spidey. Wolverine tells them that he’ll distract them while they steal her trucks before they’re unloaded. They should take her down before the operation gets up and running.
Iron Fist points out that technically… they haven’t done anything wrong yet. Ms. Marvel agrees. Innocent until proven guilty? Jessica is also in agreement. They haven’t actually done anything yet. Wolverine can’t believe it and, down below, neither can Mockingbird. Luke points out that they’re going to. That’s why they are there. Jessica repeats that they haven’t done anything yet, but Ben Grimm replies that they are going to do something. And does she know how he knows. “Watch this.” He leaps into the air, heading straight for the shop. “Okay,” says Wolverine. “He’ll distract them.”
The Thing crashes through the roof of Things & Things and brings the building down after him. He grins and clenches his fists, asking who’s first. Outside, Superia’s gang wonder what’s going on and head inside, leaving the other Avengers to steal the trucks. As Iron Fist, Jessica and Luke Cage approach the trucks, Danny informs them that he doesn’t have a license. Jessica asks how old he is, but Danny replies that he’s never needed one. He’s either lived in K’un L’un or in New York City.
Elsewhere, Superia’s gang head inside, weapons raised and warn the intruders that they’re trespassing on private property. They are met with the formidable quartet of Dr. Strange, Thing, Wolverine and Spider-Man.
Jessica starts her truck and Danny does likewise, but Luke’s doesn’t have keys. There’s only one thing for it. He gets out and picks up the truck, balancing it above his head. Inside, Superia is informed that it looks like the Avengers. It’s hard to tell. Superia snarls, wondering how they knew they were there. Her gang go into battle with the Avengers, but they are totally outmatched. Wolverine and the Thing use muscle and agility, Dr. Strange casts a spell to create a monster which attacks them and Mockingbird uses her athletic prowess to take out two guys at once.
Spider-Man sees Bobbi as he leaps into the same room. Guns go off and Spidey quips that he loves the peeuu peeuu noise their weapons make. This distracts Bobbi. She turns to see who it is and is blasted in the stomach at point blank range. Spidey rushes to her aid but he can see how badly she is injured.
(Bayamo, Cuba, 1959)Fury heads to a local cantina and grabs a drink. General Hill walks up behind him and asks if he’s enjoying the local color. Fury tells him that he’s ready for his next assignment. He replies that there are those in the intelligence community who believe that his considerable talents are being wasted chasing down yesterday’s news. The war is long over and they won. “It’s over...” replies Fury, “When you says it’s over,” adds General Hill. “I know.” He adds that he was actually told to escort Fury back to Washington and Fury asks if he’s in trouble. Hill asks if he’s done something that would put him in trouble. Fury reckons that if that’s how it worked, he wouldn’t have to ask. Hill informs him that the President asked for him. He needs him to help with a project. He doesn’t know what it is, but it’s called the Avengers Initiative.

Untitled
(Madripoor, 1959)It’s evening, and Nick Fury is walking through town with a dapper-looking Dum Dum Dugan. Dugan reckons the place smells like a sock. He tells Fury that there’s something he doesn’t get. He already has a rag tag team of howling commandos sitting around knitting booties. Why does he need another team for the president’s project? Fury explains that the president says they need a different kind. They need guys with that extra something. Dugan asks why, then, is he there. “Flavor,” replies Fury.
Dugan knows he needs someone to talk to. Fury tells him they’ve arrived at their destination and Dugan asks if they’re gonna know they guy when they see him. As he speaks, a guy is defenestrated through a bar window, followed by a guy in a white vest.
“Victor Creed?” asks Fury as Creed prepares to continue pounding the guy. He turns and angrily asks Fury if he’s looking to be next. Fury asks him to calm it. Ain’t no one impressed. Creed asks if he’s ever seen his insides. That’ll impress him. Dugan doesn’t hesitate and shoots Creed through the head at point blank range. He falls and crashes into a small carriage as Dugan blows the smoke away from the weapon.
“I had it,” sighs Fury. Dugan says he knows and asks who’s next on the list. Moments later, Creed stands up and looks at the two strangers. He figures someone told them about his healing factor. “He heals?” asks Dugan. Fury introduces himself and informs Creed that he’s there to put him work. He’s there to convince Creed that he’s wasting his time beating on these poor people. He wants him on his black ops initiative. They have full clearance and a hell of a goal post. “Yeah?” replies Creed. “Like what?”
(Barrington, Rhode Island, now)As one of Doctor Strange’s spell-created dragons attacks Superia’s team, Wolverine and the Thing do likewise with their fists and claws. Some of them ask Dr. Wentworth if they should evacuate because the Avengers are right on top of them. She chastises them on calling her by her real name. She is Superia when in the field. She warns them that she’s going to find out which of them blabbed about their situation and location and gut them dead. She wonders how the Avengers knew they were there.
Ms. Marvel crashes in on them through a brick wall, but Superia blasts her back through it ferociously. As she lands, Wolverine asks if she’s okay. Carol admits that she didn’t know Superia could do that. He asks if she wants back up. “I got this,” she assures him. As Superia’s team of ex-H.A.M.M.E.R. agents fluster, Ms. Marvel flies back and smacks Superia in the face, sending her flying into the trash cans. “Superia? Really?” she asks. She is rewarded for that remark by a burst of green energy from her opponent.
(Paris, 1959)Dominic Fortune stands on a balcony overlooking the beautiful city of lights as night falls. A redheaded woman appears dressed in very little and asks him what he’s thinking. He smiles at her and replies that he was thinking he was having a wonderful time. She asks him to pace himself. They have all night. She notices that she seems nervous, but he asks, “We have met before, haven’t we?” She replies no, but she knows of his daring adventures. There’s no need for him to waste his ‘come hither’ lines on her. He tells her it’s not a line. He knows he knows her.
They stand facing each other closely and she moves in for a kiss. As they embrace, she pulls out a knife and prepares to stab him. He reaches up and grabs her hand as she screams for him to die. He tells her that it’s really very disappointing. She asks if he thinks he can mock the legend of the Reich. He thinks he can steal from them and not pay for it? “Do you think we would let you live?” she adds. “We?” replies Fortune.
He looks towards the door and another man enters with a machine gun. He opens fire and Fortune asks him to get his own woman. She growls at the man to fire, so Fortune reasons that escaping is probably a good idea. He leaps from the balcony and lands gracefully in the street below. Fury and Dugan are sitting there in a Jeep, calmly. “Dominic Fortune?” asks Fury. Fortune recognizes him. Fury explains that he has a job offer for him. Fortune simply replies, “Cheers,” and jumps into the Jeep to make his escape.
(Barrington, Rhode Island, now)Spider-Man is holding Mockingbird, who is gravely injured. He calls out to the others, informing them that she’s down and he can’t move her. As Superia’s men run around nearby, he takes one out with a club made of webbing and uses his agility to kick another two into touch. Ms. Marvel, meanwhile, is struggling against Superia. She punches Carol, asking who sent them there. She then slams her against a wall, asking how they could possibly have known about her operation. Another punch and another question about who told them about the operation. She holds Carol by her blonde hair and states that she purposely went off their radar and did this the right way. She reckons she’s smarter than all of them put together. She unleashes another huge blast which blows Wolverine and Ms. Marvel high into the air.
Spidey leaps over incoming gunfire and calls over to Doctor Strange. He soon sees what Spidey’s concerns are. Spidey asks if he can help her. After all, he is a real doctor. Strange bends down and realizes that he can’t move her. They must call an ambulance so he needs a phone. Spidey moves quickly and leaps onto one of Superia’s crew, taking his phone as he knocks him out. Whilst Dr. Strange uses a spell to boost Mockingbird’s health, Spider-Man calls 911 and informs them that they have a problem in front of Coffee Heroes in Barrington’s shopping center. The operator asks his name, but Spider-Man just tells her to hurry. He complains to himself that giving his name isn’t going to help matters. Dr. Strange tries to get something from Bobbi, but her lack of response makes him believe that she’s not going to make it.
(Emerald Coast, 1959)Nick Fury, now wearing a pink shirt to fit in, meets Aquaria on the beach. She informs him that he isn’t allowed to call her that. He asks if she prefers Namora. “And who the hell are you?” she enquires. He replies that she knows who he is and he has a proposition for not only her, but her boyfriend, too. She asks how he knew where she was. Fury explains that they knew where her boyfriend was. He asks if she can tell him to stop pointing the rifle at the back of his head. Namora looks to the trees and assures Sergei that it’s all right. Fury is surprised that his first name is Sergei. He thought it was Kraven.
Kraven emerges from the greenery and asks Fury to state his name and business. “And stop looking at my girl,” he adds. He then recognizes one of Fury’s crew - Victor Creed. “You,” snarls Creed. “I know you,” replies Kraven. He wonders where he knows him from, but Creed tells him it’s from Africa. Namora asks Kraven to put down the gun, but he shoots Creed right through his chest. “Bloody hell!” swears Dominic Fortune, but Fury asks him not to worry about it. “Don’t worry about it?” he gasps. “He heals,” replies Fury. Namora asks her boyfriend how he manages to embarrass her everywhere they go.
Nick Fury calms the situation down and informs them both that they’re needed for a mission; the kind that needs men with their particular talents. “Big game hunting,” adds Fortune. Fury says first, he needs them to bury the hatchet. Whatever their beef, he needs them to put it away or he’ll leave them in a ditch. Creed warns Kraven to keep one eye open. Kraven accepts the challenge. Fury asks Namora if they know they can hear them.
(now)Luke Cage finally arrives back at base, having carried a truck all the way from Superia’s base. Iron Fist asks how it’s going over there. Luke is sure everything is fine. It’s just a bunch of grunts and an Amazon against the damn Avengers. Jessica wonders if they should go back and help out, but Luke reckons they’ve got it. He’d rather see what the jokers were getting up to. “Jokers?” asks Jessica, surprised. Luke admits that he’s trying not to swear so much. Jessica thinks she’d rather he swore than say ’jokers.’
Luke rips the side off the truck but is immediately shot in the face. He growls at his assailant that he has unbreakable skin. One of Superia’s grunts, a female, warns him to stay back but he reaches over and yanks the weapon from her grasp. He asks if she knows who they are. They’re the damn Avengers you dumb &$*%@#.” Luke tells her he wants to know everything. As he speaks to her, Danny informs them that they’ve got company. The cops are whizzing past in force along with an Ambulance. Luke thinks it’s not them that are in trouble. They’re the good guys. Danny says he’s more concerned about the ambulances.
(Boston, Massachusetts, 1959)Ulysses Bloodstone is sitting in a pretty square reading a book when Silver Sable approaches him. They exchange greetings and Silver Sable asks how he knew how to contact him. Ulysses has no idea what he’s talking about. “Are you my contact?” asks Silver Sable. Ulysses introduces himself and Silver Sable admits that he’s heard of him. He’s the monster hunter. He explains that his name is Ernst Sablinova, and Ulysses says he knows him as Silver Sable. He replies that no one really calls him that - not since the war.
Ulysses shakes his hand and tells him he’s a man after his own. He heard that Ernst tore those Nazi bastards down all through Europe. Ernst admits that the money was good. “Isn’t it though,” replies Ulysses. “And you didn’t call me here?” he asks. The two men immediately looks around suspiciously as he replies that he was called there himself. Ulysses suspects that they may have been set up.
Fortunately, they are approached by Fury, Dugan, Fortune, Creed, Namora and Kraven. Fury tells them that they were set up, but not for anything that they can’t handle. In fact, it’s something that’s right up all of their alleys. He introduces himself and welcomes them to the Avengers. Ulysses finds that rather presumptuous and Ernst asks what they are avenging. Fury explains that, according to people who know better than them, the Red Skull is very much alive and the Third Reich is officially the Fourth Reich. Namora finds that quite disappointing. Fury adds that this isn’t the bad news. According to those who know, there’s some kind of secret something that is empowering them into play. They have to find out what it is and try not to accidentally blow up the world while doing so. The good news is… they were born for this.
(now)
Superia blasts again and then leaps to the roof. Once out of the way, Strange explains to the paramedic that he didn’t see what hit Mockingbird. Her breathing is shallow and she’s non-responsive. He asks which one she is. Ben Grimm informs him that her name is Mockingbird. She’s an Avenger. They’re all Avengers. The paramedic tries to get Bobbi to reply to him, but Superia doesn’t care a jot about their problems. From the rooftop, she unleashes a massive blast, which blows everyone and everything high into the air.
