The Beast arrives at the mansion to welcome Wonder Man back from the dead. Wanda initially declines Hank’s invitation for a night out since the team intends to investigate Lord Templar’s appearance in DC, but Captain America offers to take the rest of the team to DC without her. Wanda, Simon and Hank visit a jazz club, where Wanda finds the Vision alone in his Victor Shade guise and urges him to join them. Simon then discusses with the others his self-doubts and his fitness to return to the Avengers. At his New Jersey lab, Hank Pym’s conversation with a coworker is secretly monitored. At the Capitol Building, Justice admits his self-doubts to Firestar, who assures him he is fit to be an Avenger. Cap gets a frantic call from Wanda summoning them back to deal with a rampaging beast calling himself Pagan. During the battle, Wanda realizes Pagan is absorbing their attacks, but the arriving Cap ignores her warnings. Shrugging off their attacks, Pagan escapes by tunneling under the street. At the mansion, Wanda takes Cap aside to discuss the team’s lack of cohesion, and the Beast bids Simon farewell.
