For those following at home we somehow survived the battle against a C'thon-powered Morgan Le Fay and the combined skills of Dr. Druid, and the mysterious medical skills of Thor saved The Black Knight (...the villainous uncle of the famous one...) from death by internal bleeding. The mysterious Kid Loki was remanded into Avengers custody until they could uncover the secrets he held. This meant he was forced to be babysat by Dr. Druid when the Avengers investigated a series of disappearances, including Wonder Man and Dane Whitman (the famous Nephew of the villainous Black Knight) and some woman called Alicia Masters? A-list guest star The Thing seemed pretty fond of her. He told neighbourhood heroes Thor and Spider-Man that her dad was some kind of master of Puppets? It's probably not important...

The Avengers looked into matters and discovered the mercenary group from Stonehenge seemed to have some kind of financial links to a lot of disappearances.

Mysterious Billionaire Steven Grant arranged a meeting with one Luchino Neferia as a favour to Moon Knight. He seemed to be behind all these Frost Holdings, and Mr Grant was brave enough to look into matters for us. He arrived alongside the beautiful Marlene Alraune. Mr Nefaria took Mr grant down to see the machinery of his latest project. You see, while he was interested in funding hospitals, he as much more interested in pulling the moon out of orbit to create a biblical flood that washes away the unworthy.

Luckily, he happened to have machinery for siphoning energy from the kidnapped people into one Dr. Franklin Hall!, seemingly Alicia Masters' father was the Puppet Master and he was controlling Dr. hall.

Meanwhile, unlikely Detective duo Dr. Druid & Kid Loki find little at the apartment of Dane Whitman, but a search for witnesses uncovers a representative of Janus (formerly Frost) Holdings trailing them. Druid talks the man into taking them back, telepathically informing Ms Marvel.

They find the lovely Marlene tied up by one Guilietta Nefaria who points some manner of blaster at the pair. Dr. Druid's trickery was overcome by an act of supreme will, Druid and Loki are led away.

When they are led into the base where the machinery is kept billionaire Steven Grant leaps bravely into action, knocking out Mr Nefaria. This angers Guilietta who casts her gun down and smashesa Mr Grant like a Mack Truck. It seemed she had undergone some treatments giving her the powers of COUNTESS NEFARIA!!

While Dr. Druid scrambles desperately to stay alive in the face of her fury, the secretly invisible Kid Loki frees the prisoners, it seems they may be winning when Whirlwind, Blizzard, and Grim Reaper appear Blizzard quickly proves a non factor but Grim Reaper lands a nasty blow, and Countess Nefaria turns to finish the job when...
