AVENGERS #2.
Dr. Strange stands at the Nexus of
Realities, telling the Fantastic Four that they must kill their
opponents—even their friends—to save the universe....
At Praxis headquarters, all is
confusion but Lester again calms Nora Queen's suspicions about his
true interests....
Battling the Frightful Four at Agatha Harkness'
house, Thing tricks Sandman into breaking him free from the
paste trap and then he uses Trapster's glue gun to encase Sandman in
a thick shell. Medusa snatches baby Franklin from the Wizard and Ben
grabs the Golden Apple slice which sends him back to his own time.
Agatha Harkness sics her cat Ebony on the baddies and everything is
safe again....
In the Great Refuge, Human Torch is
dodging Black Bolt, Gorgon, and Crystal, who believe he has been
hypnotized by Maximus the Mad. Johnny goads Crystal into unleashing
her powers at him, then dodges so it's Black Bolt who takes the fall.
Johnny then snatches up the Golden Apple slice, gives Crystal a big
smooch and returns to his own time, letting the past situation sort
itself out....
At the Enclave, Mr Fantastic promises
Ben he will make Alicia Masters's rescue his top priority so Ben frees him
from the rock trap. Torch burns a small tunnel through the barricade
that only Reed can crawl through; he does and makes sure Alicia is
safe as Ben busts his way through. Reed takes the Golden Apple slice
and heads home, intending to confront Dr Strange about his insistence
on Reed's killing Ben....
In Atlantis, Reed and Sub-Mariner are
fighting over Invisible Woman, and Dr Strange teleports Thing and
Human Torch to Sue's side—but when they try to protect her, she
throws a fit, denouncing all the men for treating her as helpless and
fragile, even Namor and she takes the Golden Apple slice and goes
back home...
...but the FF find themselves in
another dimension, where they are met by Dr Strange, who assembles
the four slices into half of the Golden Apple and departs. The heroes
find themselves back at the East River where they attempt to rejoin
their frozen bodies—but they can't. They are then hurled through a
vortex and into a New York they have never known....
