Synopsis for the 1st Story

Ten minutes, Jericho Drumm, aka Brother Voodoo, has finished sleeping with a unnamed woman. He talks with his brother Daniel's spirit, before the Eye of Agamotto appears before him. The Ancient One then speaks to him, choosing him as the new Sorcerer Supreme. after some discussion with Daniel, Drumm accepts. Then he sees the New Avengers fighting the Hood. He dresses as Brother Voodoo to fight, able to humble the Hood in his demonic form. Then, the New Avengers come in and beat their foe up. Strange and Hellstrom then create a seal to trap the Hood. Dormammu then reveals himself, who glees that his greatest enemy is so defeated. Voodoo then performs an exorcism in a language that Hellstrom doesn't recognize. Instantly, Dormammu is purged from the Hood's body. Except he's no longer the Hood, having lost his said cloth, leaving him naked and badly burned. Hellstom comments that the dimensional barriers are weakening due to the Avengers' duties and eventually, they will pay for their sins. Ronin then goes live, pointing out his claim that Parker Robbins is allied with Norman Osborn. He declares that he and the Avengers will fight for America every day. He tells the camera man to give the recording to the rest of the media.

24 hours later, Loki approaches Robbins in a hospital, expressing her disappointment that he could have achieved so much more. She was expecting him to be ready for Osborn's downfall; she offers him a second chance; he pleadingly accepts.

At the Avengers' hideout, Ronin and Mockingbird are watching Osborn's conference, justifying that the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were terrorists and yet they joined the Avengers. He denounces Ronin's claim, claiming that he would help him if he is mentally disturbed. Angry that the media didn't swarm Osborn, Ronin declares that they've got to kill him.
