Teddy is a skrull, and Super Skrull comes to Earth to reclaim him and take him home.

After Teddy is kidnapped, Eli–who quit in the last arc–agrees to return and serve as leader of the team.

Wiccan takes them to the top floor of Avengers Tower to get young Vision on their side, because he can track where Super Skrull took Hulkling.

What, is there no security at all at the Avengers’ new digs?
Vision officially joins and the kids realize they need additional help, so they break a kid named Tommy Shepherd out of a prison housing unregistered super-beings.

He’s a speedster. Why do they free him?
Vision says that Tommy and Wiccan are Scarlet Witch’s sons, who were indeed named Billy and Tommy. I mean, makes sense: A guy with speed powers and a guy with magical-type powers.




After that revelation, the team finds Hulkling and tries to free him, when the Kree show up and shoot Super Skrull just as he is telling Teddy that his mother was a skrull princess who was killed by Galactus. He’s shot before he can reveal who Teddy’s father was.


They tell Hulking that it’s true his mother was a skrull but his daddy…

…was Mar-Vell.
More skrulls show up and it’s a street fight of krees and skrulls, with the Young Avengers caught in the middle.

The New Avengers, who in this comic have a knack for always showing up late, arrive in the middle of the big skrull/kree battle.

The kree and skrull armies both demand Hulkling for their own, but Teddy doesn’t want to go with either of them. Captain America sticks up for him and the Kree take a shot at him, but Eli jumps in the path of the laser.

Now it’s time for a big battle until Hulkling agrees to go with the skrulls. Only it was actually Super Skrull shape-shifted into the form of Hulkling, fooling his brethren because it turns out Super Skrull isn’t such a bad guy after all. He loved Teddy’s mother and honors her by helping end the battle and letting Hulking stay on his adopted home world, Earth.
Happy endings time. Tommy gets a costume that looks like his uncle Quicksilver and takes the name Speed.

More on the family theme of this arc: Eli, due to his injuries, needs a blood transfusion. Well, remember how last issue we saw that he didn’t have his Grandfather’s “original Captain America” blood? Well, now he gets it.

And finally, Kate Bishop gets the (believed deceased) Clint Barton bow and his codename, courtesy of Captain America.

I know it’s a lot of family relationships crammed a tad awkwardly into a few pages, but the ideas are cool so…All is forgiven.

We end this series with a group shot, an implicit endorsement from the New Avengers and I, for one, am left wanting more.
