After a busy week doing heroic things,
on Tuesday Thor changes back to Jane Foster for her weekly
chemotherapy session; this time, however, she is accosted by SHIELD
Agents Kurdle and Krill who take her back to the Helicarrier to
question her about Thor....
At the Universal Bank in Bern,
Switzerland, a sinister cabal of business leaders meets to exercise
their control over world affairs: members are Tiberius Stone of
Alchemax (Spider-Man foe), Sebastian Shaw (Hellfire Club, X-Men
enemy), Darren Cross (Ant-Man nemesis), Ezekiel Stane (Iron Man
antagonist), Shingen Harada (Silver Samurai 2, Wolverine villain),
Frr'dox (Shi'ar, new character), Wilhelmina Kensington (Hellfire
Club, X-Men adversary), Kingpin Wilson Fisk (Daredevil/Spider-Man
opponent), and Dario Agger (thorn in Thor's side). The group is
confronting Dario Agger for not having informed them of his alliance
with Malekith, granting him mineral rights to the Norse realms. He
refuses to share any of the profits and the others threaten him with
sanctions. Harada challenges him for control of his business and
transforms into the Silver Samurai....
On the Helicarrier, Agents Kurdle and
Krill are interrogating Jane on what she knows about the new Thor's
identity, badgering her and making threats. Agent Roz Solomon comes
in and rebukes them for harassing a sick woman. Jane leaves with
threats to call her lawyer (“big and green and loves to smash
things”). Roz drives her back to the clinic while asking if she has
any info on the whereabouts of Thor Odinson; Roz is interrupted by a
message that a wiretap has turned up evidence of a secret corporate
summit in Bern. Roz drops Jane off and heads to Switzerland. Jane
changes to Thor and follows....
At the Swiss bank a mystery woman
enters the building, gunning down everyone with a golden pistol.
Upstairs, just as Dario Agger is assuming his Minotaur form to battle
the Silver Samurai, he is electrocuted (not fatally) by the new
arrival. She is Exterminatrix and she announces she is joining the
cabal....
Five minutes after the meeting is
adjourned, Roz materializes in the conference room to find it empty.
Thor arrives too. Moments later, as Thor and Roz depart through the
skies, Agents Kurdle and Krill catch them on film....
