Having just shot Taskmaster, Mockingbird is brought back to
the present by the Scientist Supreme (Andrew Forson) uttering the control word,
“Oneiric.” He uses his hypnotic control to convince her she is really Barbara, an
agent of the Cult of Entropy, and that “Bobbi” is a secondary identity by
taking her back to the time of her recruitment….
Aboard the A.I.M. submarine, the captive Secret Avengers (Hawkeye,
Black Widow, Nick Fury Jr.) are being brought to Barbuda by Yelena Belova who
flirts with Fury. Later, when they are alone, guarded by the Shang-Chi
Adaptoid, they work out a plan of escape with Fury being the one who must break
his thumb to get out of the handcuffs….
Bobbi continues her distorted history with the Cult of
Entropy, with Nick Fury believing she was a SHIELD Agent while Forson was using
her against Victorius, the cult leader. Then she had a premonition of a SHIELD
team infiltrating the island and they were caught. She feels the two identities
fighting in her mind and wants “Bobbi” out….
Aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier Iliad, Director Maria Hill
is meeting with MODOK and taking down information he is revealing to her;
he wants ice cream, she won’t give it to him….
On A.I.M. Island, an aide takes Taskmaster’s corpse to the
morgue, only to find Mentallo relaxing there. Mentallo picks up mental signals
from the corpse and is dismayed….
Bobbi continues to scroll through her memories, again
showing her commitment to the cult’s goals while having to encourage Forson.
And then she aided in executing the SHIELD agents on the beach. Forson asks if
she would like to execute more people and she agrees….
As they are being brought in, Nick Fury removes his
handcuffs, frees Hawkeye and Black Widow, and they overpower the guards, ready
to take on A.I.M….
