Thanks to Iron Man's timely return, the Avengers are able to track the residue from Lord Templar's energy to a dedication ceremony from a religious organization called the Triune Understanding. They meet up with Triathlon, who is one of the Triune Understanding's leading spokesmen. Pagan shows up and the Avengers engage him, but can't defeat him. However, Lord Templar also shows up but he attacks Pagan and seems to defeat him. Unfortunately, the Avengers bear the brunt of Triune Understanding's spin doctor, Jonathan Tremont, who seems to have a pretty cozy relationship with Lord Templar.
