Beth has just turned 18, and life couldn't be greater. After buying a mysterious locket from a flea market with her birthday cash, some crime-fighters from across the galaxy pay her and the Avengers a visit. Beth discovers that her locket will determine the fate of the universe if it finds its way into an alien warlord's clutches. Will Beth be able to save the world as we know it?

Tony has the flu, and then Clint catches it. Soon, Beth has an epidemic on her hands!

The Avengers are asked by the New York state government to give a series of seminars to public schools. Naturally, Beth's high school is the first on the list, and she is given another reason to hate the public education system. Set after Torture- an entire chunk of the plot will make zero sense if you don't read it, and this also kinda turned into a sequel.

Beth is kidnapped and tortured for information. Why is Medicorp so concerned with what she knows? Or doesn't know? Will the Avengers find her before it's too late? Read "Virus" or a conversation won't make sense...
