The Avengers watch the Squadron Supreme’s press conference with barely controlled tempers. Going into the kitchen, the Scarlet Witch finds Warbird having a drink. Warbird gets defensive when Wanda questions her drinking so much so early. The team travels to the Squadron’s temporary home at Project: PEGASUS and scans the Squadron’s quarters for mind-controlling devices, but are attacked again by the Squadron. Wanda breaks the Squadron’s brainwashing, but the Blue Shield, Pegasus’ security chief, strikes her from behind under the command of Project director Andrew Kappelhof. Hawkeye disables an image-inducer worn by Kappelhof with an arrow, revealing him as the Corruptor. The Corruptor becomes catatonic due to a hypnotic block and is unable to be interrogated. Warbird becomes livid when Cap questions why she once again refused to use her Binary powers and flies off in a rage. Elsewhere, a subordinate of Imus Champion’s brings his employer up to speed, and Champion is not pleased with losing both the Squadron and the Corruptor.
