Rick Jones' captors are revealed to be the Shi'Ar, who are now at war with the Kree. They compel Rick to take them to the Kree lab where he first bonded with Captain Marvel, and they steal a piece of the Psyche-Magnetron that was left behind. They manage to escape with it, but only after the West Coast Avengers slow them down considerably. Quasar is sent in pursuit of them, but is unable to keep up.
