Synopsis
SHIELD agent Daisy Johnson, aka Quake who was one of Nick Fury's Secret Warriors, is investigating Norman Osborn's escape from the Raft in New Avengers #16.1. She is accompanied by Hawkeye and Spider-Woman, who of course weren't involved in the escape because they're not New Avengers. They are interrogating the warden John Walker, who used to be US Agent. Quake takes the files on 14 guards who have gone missing.
Hawkeye can't resist flirting with Spider-Woman.
Captain America is in Avengers Mansion, still deliberating over who should be on the official Avengers team. He's going to leave the New Avengers team alone, and Luke Cage will basically keep it as it is. (Nobody mentions the Secret Avengers, presumably because they're, like, secret.)
Both teams are currently based in the Mansion, which Cage now owns, since the destruction of Avengers Tower during Fear Itself.
An enthusiastic crowd is gathered round the Mansion. But feeling of the media is mixed. While many applaud the Avengers and others for saving us from recent attacks, some pundits blame the super-heroes for letting things get as bad as they did. Or even for causing the problems in the first place. Included in there I think is some support for Norman Osborn's time in office.
Cap is seeking to bolster the Avengers' ranks after losing Thor and Bucky during Fear Itself. He tracks down Black Panther in Hell's Kitchen and helps him defeat a robot. Panther turns down the request that he rejoin the Avengers. But he suggests Cap contact his wife Storm instead.
Storm readily responds, and drops in as the assembled Avengers are enjoying a fine day out in the Mansion's garden. As she considers the offer, Tony Stark arrives with a reactivated Vision. Vision is eager to rejoin. And Storm confirms to Wolverine that they are both now Avengers as well as X-Men.
Meanwhile Cap meets with Quake, who tells him that the 14 missing guards from the Raft were all secretly Osborn supporters working for HAMMER. She suspects that HAMMER have infiltrated everywhere. Cap drafts her onto the team.
Cap has decided on the team:- Quake, Storm and Vision join Hawkeye, Iron Man, Protector, Red Hulk and Spider-Woman from the previous incarnation. Spider-Man and Wolverine realise they've been squeezed out, although they're still in the New Avengers.
Maria Hill is only in the background this issue, but Victoria Hand claims to be a liaison for the team.
Iron Man makes the official announcement of the new team, which seems to include Cap as a member.
But during the press conference Norman Osborn appears. He claims that Cap illegally removed him from control of the Avengers, and he's been held without trial since then.
