Synopsis
The next day on the SHIELD Helicarrier, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers are reviewing the events of the previous evening, when they managed to stop 45 villains from escaping, though 42 succeeded…. In the chaos Luke Cage was approached by the Purple Man who gave him the hypnotic command to kills the other heroes, then kill himself, while he threatened to murder Luke’s beloved Jessica Jones and their unborn child. Luke in turn revealed that, due to the drugs administered at the prison, Killgrave’s mind control powers do not work; Luke then proceeded to beat his enemy savagely, until halted by Captain America. Steve tells Tony the incident reminded him of the original formation of the Avengers: a group of unlikely allies, drawn together by fate to face a menace none of them could handle separately, spontaneously form a team. Steve reveals his plan to make the heroes in a new team of Avengers, filling the void left by the disbanding of the old group. Steve approaches Peter Parker at school and offers him a place on the team. Pete agrees tentatively. Steve then drops by Luke Cage’s apartment and Luke accepts, thinking of his daughter. Daredevil declines the invitation, not wanting his personal crises to jeopardize the team. He persuades Jessica to reassume her Spider-Woman identity and serve as the Avengers’ liaison with SHIELD. Their headquarters will be the top floors of the new Stark Tower, and Jarvis will again be their butler. Tony has donated the space to the team, trusting in Cap’s instinct for the team’s success. Meanwhile, outside, Jessica Drew is agreeing to report back to a mysterious figure on what goes on among the Avengers as well as SHIELD….
