Synopsis[]

Wolverine tries to explain to Nick Fury, Jr. about the seriousness of the Watcher suddenly appearing the way he did. Nick is distracted with his data pad and acts as if he had not even seen the celestial being (who is conveniently gone now). The two head to the Guernica Bar where they meet up with Victoria von Frankenstein. The bar is a special pub catering to people in Wolverine's line of work. Victoria brings him into the back where she tries to abstract the projectile from his shoulder. The operation is difficult due to Wolverine's healing factor. While Victoria works on him, Detective Chikeko Tomomatsu introduces Nick to the other patrons, Robert Templeton, Marcus H. Harold, Doctor Jason Rivera, and Anne Marie Hoag - leader of Damage Control. Victoria completes her procedure and removes the projectile from Wolverine's shoulder and drops it into a Negative flask so it can be analyzed.

Meanwhile in Willets Point in Queens, several of the compromised members of the criminal underworld as well as the New York City Police Department stand outside the gates of the Blenkin Pharmaceuticals plant. The laser weapon that had injured Wolverine has an auto-pilot feature built into it and comes flying down into the hands of one of the officers. Another man correctly assumes that S.H.I.E.L.D. will likely be tracking it, but the female officer indicates that it doesn't matter.

Wolverine and Nick Fury track the laser weapon Blenkin Pharmaceuticals. Wolverine drops down onto the roof of the building from the S.H.I.E.L.D. flying car, then slices his way inside, riding the elevator cables to descend into the lower areas of the building.

When Wolverine gets to the bottom level, he is confronted by a security force wearing Mandroid armor. Despite name-dropping his Avengers membership, the Mandroids are unimpressed and open fire on him. Wolverine slices open the power pack of a guard named Karl, which causes the armor to shut down. The other two Mandroids open fire on Wolverine.

Another Mandroid guard, armor still intact, realizes that Wolverine is not the true threat, and indicates that his team was alerted to a robbery. Wolverine tells the guard to follow him and makes his way elsewhere into the facility. They enter the loading bay, where they encounter the mind-controlled trespassers. Wolverine leaps into the fray, careful not to use his claws because he knows that these are just innocent victims. As the throng begins piling on top of Wolverine, a few get into a truck and take off rapidly.

The truck doesn't get far, however. Nick Fury hits the ejector seat button and vacates the S.H.I.E.L.D. flying car, allowing it to crash into the front of the truck. Fury enters the loading area as more Mandroids arrive to help Wolverine fight the possessed. Suddenly, a mysterious airship descends down attaches itself to the cargo container on the back of the truck. It then flies away before Wolverine or Fury can do anything about it.

A short while later, the stealth craft arrives at an industrial facility in Port Reading, New Jersey and lowers the cargo container inside. Scientists in lab coats scuffle about to unload the container's contents - an industrial incubator. All of the attending staff at the facility are hosts for an invasive possessing race. One of the men states that the incubator will allow them to breed quickly enough to complete their mission. All of the scientists form a line and begin cutting their arms open with a scalpel, allowing their blood to flow into the innards of the machine.
