    Summary:
    The Venom T-Rex finally catches up with them in Doom's Head, Illinois. They helpless drive and shoot at the Venom to no avail. Shortly, Emma Frost spots them and sends Black Bolt. With one word "stop", he knocks off the Venom symbiote from the TRex.

    They were instantly teleported to the Forbidden Quarter, the sanctuary of Emma Frost and about twenty other remaining mutants in the world. Emma welcomes them and had her technicians fix up the Spiderbuggy.

    It is revealed that Emma Frost married Dr. Doom in order to forge a pact in the interest of the mutants -- first thought to be the next step in human evolution, but is obviously not to be, with no new mutant births in the last twenty years. Emma also hints that she knows what's in the package they're carrying, which caught the interest of Logan.

    After the repairs are done, they set on their way towards their destination. They pass by Pym Falls, Connecticut -- a settlement built on the remains of Hank Pym aka Giant Man -- which then leads to New babylon, their destination.

    There, they met their contact, Tobias, who looks like Hitler with that mushtache of his. Logan then learns that the package they are carrying the entire time contains 99 vials of the super soldier serum. Tobias is supposedly a rebel alliance contact that are bent to creating a new Avengers team, which Hawkeye wishes to be a part of.

    Shortly after, Logan is peppered with bullets and Hawkeye shot in the chest. Tobias then reveals himself to be a SHIELD undercover agent under the employ of the president Red Skull. Defiant to the end, Tobias shoots Hawkeye on the head.
