"Uncanny Inhumans"[]
Teleporting across space and time, Black Bolt, Triton and Reader, along with his dog Forey, arrive in Ancient Attilan from thirteen thousand years in the past. When they leave, they unexpectedly pop up in the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago in October, 1961. They were brought here by Kang the Conqueror, who is mad because Black Bolt reneged on a promise he had made, which had made Kang the caretaker of his son, Ahura. Kang tells them in two minutes a Soviet fighter plane will drop the Tsar Bomba hydrogen bomb on their position. To prevent them from escaping, Kang pits them against soldiers from England circa World War I, and dinosaurs.
Reader exhausts the last of his power in order to get them to teleport away back to the Quiet Room in New York City in the present. Forey almost gets left behind, but manages to make it through the portal at the last moment.
Meanwhile in Central Park, Queen Medusa, Inferno, Iso, Grid and Flint fight off Chitauri warriors who are after the Skyspear, which is lodged in the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir. They defeat the aliens and then find themselves fielding comments from the press that rush upon the scene. Medusa delivers a speech about how they will always strive to keep humanity safe before flying off to New Attilan.
When they arrive, Medusa consults with Hank McCoy, who has now aligned himself with the Inhumans and is serving as a mentor to Iso. Medusa’s aide, Irelle, tells her about the visiting ambassador to Latveria. Medusa is reluctant to meet with him until she discovers that it is Johnny Storm. The two embrace and begin making out. Black Bolt suddenly appears in the room and Medusa tells him that what he sees is exactly what it seems to be.

"Uncanny Inhumans"[]
|
At the Gorgonium in New Attilan, Gorgon has Jason Flint practicing his telekinesis against a holographic simulation of Thanos. Agent Frank McGee walks into the room with Naja. He yanks Flint from his training for a mission to Morocco. The three of them fly to a dangerous part of the region in search of a NuHuman, who might have a lead to Gorgon’s missing son. While searching for the mysterious “Glass Girl”, they run afoul of some soldiers who open fire on them. Flint uses his telekinesis to hurl sharpened rocks at them, while McGee gets the girl. He has her use her glass powers to turn sand into a lens, which they then use to refract energy back at the soldiers. They board their aircraft and leave. They report back to Gorgon that while they recovered the girl, they have not found his son. |
