Later, everyone has regrouped at the New Avengers Facility in Upstate New York as T'Challa and Natasha had looked over the population of the world dropping at an accelerated rate.

T'Challa: (Folded his arms as he watched populations in foreign countries drop increasingly) This is a nightmare.

Natasha: (Looks over the World's population being depleted) I've had better nightmares.

Sam: (Walks over to the two) Yo! (Gets their attention) So that 25-year-old Pager Fury had with him, it just dropped dead.

T'Challa: (Turns to Sam) Let us see.

The two went to join Banner and Wilson as they saw the Pager that originally emitted a Yellow Star had turned off.

Natasha: (Walks inside) What do we got?

Bruce: (Turns to the Pager) Whatever signal it was sending finally cracked out.

T'Challa: What about the battery? I thought we bypassed it.

Sam: We did. It's still plugged in, but it just stopped.

Natasha: (Sighs) Reboot it, send the signal again.

Bruce: Well, we don't even know what this is!

Sam: Can we just say it's some kind of weird looking Pager?

Bruce: Or a modified, highly advanced Pager, we could call it that.

T'Challa; (Folded his arms) Give it to me. I'll have it properly analyzed in Wakanda.

Natasha: (Turns to T'Challa) T'Challa, I want to know who's Fury been contacting as much as you do, but I need you to trust us-!

T'Challa: (Turns to Natasha) It's not that I don't trust you to get it working, Romanoff. It's just I don't trust you to get it working faster.

Sam: I'm sorry, but isn't your country having a lot more problems than making a phone call?

Natasha: Sam!

Sam: What? I'm sorry, but haven't we all lost a lot lately?

T'Challa: We have, but I'll tell Shuri-! (Stopped where he was) ...Whatever is left of my Sister's team, that this is an important matter.

Natasha: Listen, you don't have to-!

T'Challa: I want to... I have as much a right to find who's on the other end of that message.

He turned around to leave, only to find a Blonde woman wearing a Blue and Red Suit, who has a similarly Golden Star Emblem on her chest as everyone turned to find her standing behind them.

Carol: (Looks at the Avengers) Where's Fury?

In Space, Peter and Nebula were seen inside of the Benatar sitting on a table playing Jenga through the use of Holoprojections as Dear Mr. Fantasy by Traffic was played in the background.

Nebula: (Takes out one block, only for all the pieces to fall down) UGH!

Peter: (Sees Nebula being angry) Hey, hey! Don't fret, the game isn't over, you just lost a round! I just lost two, so you're still good! (Restarts the holoprojection) Now first off, you don't ever want to get the pieces out from the bottom, because otherwise, everything just falls apart, and that's one way to lose! Now, let's try again. You first.

Nebula: (Takes one piece off from the top) Rrr!

Peter: Top piece? (Gets one piece from the middle) Now, that's a good start.

Nebula: (Takes one piece from one inch above the block Peter got) Rgh!

Peter: (Takes the piece out from the bottom) Okay, now you're trying to take me down, that's good for you.
