Iron Patriot (Norman Osborn) orders Captain Marvel (Noh-Varr)
to defeat Lyra so he encloses them both in a Pocket Battlefield, creating an
enclosed environment in which to fight. As Noh-Varr explains all of his
superiorities, Lyra points out that the Kree would be enslaved by the “heroes”
of her world. They fight, she recalls the lesson learned as a child that her
anger literally weakened her, maintains her calm and beats the stuffing out of
him. Osborn orders Daken into the fight and Lyra hallucinates that he is the
traitor Nella, giving Noh-Varr the opportunity to drug her with toxin and the
Dark Avengers (Venom, Moonstone, and Ares) take her away….
In Earth-8009, we see Lyra attacked by Nella wielding an
Adamantium spike. Nella reveals that Gynosure planned this caper: Lyra was to
recover the circuitry from the men’s cradle and then be killed to purge her
masculine taint from the tribe. As she gloats, Lyra kills her with one
punch—but the circuit board is destroyed. And then the male tribes find her;
they pursue her for eight days, back to the gates of Milago (the Sisterhood’s
capital) where they run into a patch of deadly Black Bloom, treated so that
women are invisible to it but the men are not so lucky. Lyra confronts Gynosure
and is struck down by an overdose of gamma rays. After revealing that all of
the women born of the cradle are sterile, Gynosure then gives her a mini time
travel device salvaged by Thundra from Doctor Doom and sends her back to obtain
what will save them….
Norman Osborn wants to know why the captive Lyra wants to
kill him before he tortures her to death. A.R.M.O.R. head Charles Little Sky
knows Osborn is going to use this incident as a pretext for taking over
A.R.M.O.R. Sentry is addressing the media when She-Hulk arrives in a taxi and
punches his lights out. Lyra escapes from her prison and confronts
Osborn—revealing that she is not there to kill him but to mate with him….
