As Wonder Man rejoins the Avengers, Falcon announces his resignation as he no longer needs to be there to fulfill the government’s quota. While other teammates relax, a brooding Vision tests himself against computer-controlled weapons. Jocasta, feeling left out of the interactions, tries to talk to Vision; he admits to her that he has felt an internal emptiness since his wife departed, but rejects the possibility he might be lonely, insisting that is a human trait and he is a machine. A distressed man, Selbe, arrives at the mansion, claiming someone plans to kill him; while the others question his veracity because he is wearing hospital gowns from the Solomon Institute for the Criminally Insane, Wasp believes him. After men from the institute reclaim Selbe, the other Avengers notice Wasp has vanished; realizing she has gone to investigate the Institute, they decide to follow.
