In "Qui est cette femme ?", Lt. Monica Rambeau of the New Orleans harbor patrol steps in when her grandfather's friend, Andre LeClare, is threatened by a rogue weapon created from his research. After the explosion at the offshore oil rig grants her powerful energy abilities, she leaves her duties to become Captain Marvel. Now struggling with the growing energy inside her, she seeks help at the Baxter Building—only to find Mr. Fantastic away—before turning to Iron Man at Avengers Mansion to safely siphon off the dangerous surplus.
In "C'est ainsi que tout commença...", a cosmic observer from a long-dead, hyper-advanced civilization recounts the fateful moment their people first tried to guide a younger race—only for their well-intentioned gift to end in catastrophe. The story lingers on the weight of that choice, and the vow that followed: to never again interfere.
