X-Men Archives Featuring Captain Britain #3

Captain Britain returns to Braddock Manor, expecting ruins—but finds his family home untouched, pristine, and humming with unseen energy. As he explores, ghostly visions of his parents appear, drawn from a hidden network of holograms controlled by the super-computer Mastermind, the very force behind his family’s tragedy. With the machine dismantled and repurposed, Brian gains a powerful ally and a new sanctuary, but peace is short-lived when the phone rings—unanswered, the silence is the real threat.

In a story that tugs at the heartstrings and sharpens the edge of danger, Brian—known to some as Captain Britain—receives a desperate call from his long-lost sister, Betsy, pulling him into a web of betrayal within S.T.R.I.K.E.’s psi-division. As he uncovers a conspiracy where allies are being erased and secrets are being silenced, he must face the chilling truth that the enemy might be closer than he ever imagined.

In "Killing Ground," Captain Britain faces off against the newly enhanced Slaymaster in a deadly clash of skill and will. When the Vixen informs Arcade that his agent has failed to eliminate all of STRIKE's psi-operatives, the stage is set for a high-stakes game of survival.
