The Swordsman reveals that the Gatherers are from a paralle universe just as the Watcher appears with an ominous warning.

The Avengers attempt to have a night to themselves with a formal dinner Black Widow has arranged mostly to give Hercules a proper date with Taylor Madison. From Olympus, Hercules' wicked stepmother Hera observes. Their dinner is interrupted by the appearance of the Watchtower, who gives them nothing but a vague and ominous warning.

Meanwhile, a murder mystery crops up as police find the body of a man last seen earlier that night on a date with Sersi, and the Acolyte called Scanner infiltrates Avengers Mansion looking for Luna.
