Something deep inside him is screaming.
Iron Man find's himself in Kang's Limbo fortress with Kang, Mantis, Kang's "sons", Neut and a mysterious woman. It's revealed that Tony has been secretly working for Kang for many years. At the Works HQ, Amanda discovers the real Suzi Endo in a stasis capsule. Unfortunately, Iron Man returns, sees Amanda, and immediately kills her. He then orders VIRGIL to commence countdown to a process that will virtually end the world in 21 hours. Tony attempts to kill Jim Rhodes and Rachel, but Century stops him just in time. Jim then powers up his Warwear, and confronts Iron Man.

The mysterious woman with Kang and Mantis (who has appeared in other chapters to the Crossing storyline), is eventually revealed to be a time-displaced adult Luna Maximoff. However, it was later retconned by Kurt Busiek in Avengers Forever (Marvel, 1998) #8 that this was false, and that she, along with Mantis, Moonraker, Kang's sons (Malachi and Tobias), along with other antagonists in the storyline, were in fact Space Phantoms from Limbo working for Immortus.

Storyline continued from The Avengers (Marvel, 1963 series) #393.
Storyline continues in War Machine (Marvel, 1994 series) #22.
