Quicksilver contacts the Avengers by video screen to reveal he is alive, explaining that the Inhuman Crystal found him injured within the Sentinels’ Australian Base, and that the two are now to be married. Happy for her brother, Scarlet Witch informs him that she loves the Vision, infuriating Quicksilver, who forbids Scarlet Witch from seeing the Vision and angrily ends the message. Moments later the communications screen reactivates, showing a mansion that has been attacked and the X-Men’s injured Professor X; the wounded man reacts angrily towards the unseen camera man, and the picture abruptly ends. While the Avengers rush to the Professor’s aid, Hawkeye visits the Black Widow but finds only her friend, Ivan Petrovitch. At Xavier’s school the Avengers find the X-Men unconscious and are attacked by the surprisingly animated mutant-detecting computer, Cerebro, then by flying rocks, alerting Scarlet Witch that Magneto is nearby. As the Avengers place the X-Men into the Quinjet, dinosaurs controlled by the Savage Land Mutate Piper attack the Avengers. The heroes swiftly defeat their prehistoric foes, but iron rocks encase Piper, protecting him from reprisal, and Magneto reveals himself, having been disguised earlier as Angel. He buries Thor, Black Panther and Vision in rocks, then kidnaps the Scarlet Witch, Captain America, Iron Man and the X-Men and escapes via the Avengers’ own Quinjet.
