Scarlet Witch and U.S.Agent fly back from the Avengers anniversary reunion in Avengers: The Crossing, where the Witch and Tony Stark came to an understanding about Iron Man undermining her leadership. U.S.Agent tells the Witch about the secret sub-basement he and Century found under Force Works HQ last issue, before Century returned to space. Scarlet Witch has one of the headaches she's been getting since #13.
Iron Man goes home from the party under his own steam. He hires Suzi Endo, a cybernetics expert first seen in #6 during the latest (crossover) fight with Mandarin, away from the Hong Kong office of Stark Enterprises to come work for him in Los Angeles. He wipes many other messages waiting for him.
Century is heading home on the Broker's spaceship. He keeps the freed slaves from killing the Broker because they need him to fly the ship. This story will continue in the Century: Distant Sons 1-shot.
Force Works have a member we've never seen before, Moonraker (Slade Truman), who inflicts corposant fire with his hands. Everyone acts as though he has been a member for a long time. He is Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter)'s lover. Except Julia's daughter Rachel doesn't recognise him.
Several little things that Julia does, like getting orange juice out of the fridge, appear to undo themselves.
The Crossing continues in
