And so, it is declared that Wakanda will slowly open itself up to the rest of the continent! While this will surely change the status quo it probably won't be noticeable right away... But it seems like a good ending for everybody involved, at least for now.
With a new team member and renewed spirits, the Avengers wave goodbye to Wakanda, as Frenchie (Moon Knight's pilot friend) reunites with them and they all board a special vibranium-powered stealth-jet to head back to New York! A long trip, perhaps, but it's not like there's any sort of emergency... Right?
Unfortunately, yes.
Let's take a look at a lone alley of New York, close to the headquarters-in-construction of Avengers Labs, two men argue casually...
"So, 1-on-1, who do you think wins, The Thing or Sub-Mariner?"
"Who cares? Isn't he like an alien or something? I tell you, they're hiding something in the Baxter Building."
"Y'mean Thing? Nah, I think he was just born ugly as sin!"
Suddenly, a rift! From the darkness emerges a figure, tall and spiked, menacing and cloaked, irradiating an overwhelming evil!
It takes mere seconds, before it disappears! The two men stare at each other in disbelief, unchanged... Or so it seems. Awkwardly walking the streets one of the men goes on his lonesome, but beware, for he is actually not the same man... He is the SPACE PHANTOM, whose uncanny power allows him to take the place and appearance of any individual!
A store selling televisions shows broadcasts of the news, giving him his next target...
"The Avengers..."
Yes, the super group has become national news and made itself a new enemy already! All while nobody knows their current location! "If I can destroy those Avengers, nothing will be able stop a full scale invasion of my people!" Boasts the Space Phantom, confident that his power can defeat our heroes with ease...
Meanwhile, the Avengers return to their base, unaware of the incoming danger.
"Welcome back, Sir... A-And friends." Says Jarvis, ever the professional.
"So this is New York? I'm a bit disappointed." Says Shuri with a smirk, she's probably just playing around. "I look forward to seeing the Pym tech you told me about."
"Not Stark tech? Ouch. I will remember this." Tony laughs as Janet bumps him with the elbow, surely seems like the team is working together well already, well, save for the other two... Captain America is just happy to see the new generation of heroes happy after a successful mission, but Moon Knight sulks alone, not exactly being the sociable type...
"There's no time to celebrate... We still have work to do..."
And he was right, but for the wrong reasons, could danger already be upon them?!
