New Avengers (2010 series) #30

The Avengers Vs X-Men event is over and the 5 Phoenix-powered X-Men have lost that power.

1 of them Emma Frost is being escorted to prison in an armoured truck with Daredevil and Luke Cage in the back to guard her. DD has a shoulder-injury and Luke asks him how he likes being an Avenger (he joined officially in #16 but only became actively involved from #19). Matt Murdock responds by asking how he manages to raise his baby daughter Danielle with Jessica Jones in all this. Luke doesn't tell him that Jess left with the child (#21) because of the danger, but says he has a decision to make. Frost interrupts this tete-a-tete to says that the Phoenix-5 were only trying to make the world a better place, and they should sympathise with that ...

... but the whole conversation is interrupted by an attack by armoured flying Purifiers toting very big guns spouting Biblical quotations to justify their hatred of mutants. The van is stopped and Emma suggests they take her power dampener off so she can deal with them, but DD and Luke just exit the truck, Luke 1st because of his invulnerable skin. Mockingbird was driving with Thing in the passenger seat trying to sleep. Bobbi Morse leaps into battle (with *her* abilities enhanced by the Infinity Formula/Super-Soldier Serum as of #13). The Purifiers condemn the Avengers as mutant-sympathisers and finally Ben Grimm joins the fight.

With her hands still bound (and still power-dampened) Frost tries to escape. Daredevil tosses his billy-club to KO a Purifier who tries to shoot her. It ricochets to take down another who menaces Mockingbird and then finally knocks Emma out. Some of them call Thing a creature which doesn't make him happy. Bobbi contacts SHIELD for reinforcements. Cage survives several point-blank blasts and is about to unleash his rage when he remembers his wife and kid (and his old comrades Iron Fist and Misty Knight). This inspires him to rise up and overcome, alongside the others, until all the foe are defeated. But when Iron Man, Thor and the cops arrive to tidy up he borrows a cop's phone to call Jessica and tell her he's coming home. As he walks away DD tells IM and Thor that Luke has just quit the Avengers.
