• Skye recalled Old Wang’s stories about the Three Great Cosmic Empires and wondered if he was an ancient figure from K'un-Lun.
• Old Wang explained that the Kree created the Inhumans through genetic experiments, that Hive’s followers founded Hydra, and that Terrigen Mist could awaken Inhuman abilities.
• Old Wang identified the Obelisk as a Diviner that stored and released Terrigen Mist, warned that ordinary people turned to stone if they touched it, and told Skye she was an Inhuman.
• Egghead reviewed the Special Ability User Registry and ruled out Iron Fist’s associates as the reason the Obelisk had been taken.
• Egghead opened Skye’s sealed Level 10 file and concluded that the Obelisk was connected to her.

• Old Wang took Skye to San Juan, Puerto Rico, promising to find Whitehall and bring him to her parents.

Old Wang brought Skye and the frozen Winter Soldier to the San Juan laboratory, where Fitz and Lucy reported progress on brain mapping and memory uploading. After learning Fitz had located the Kree Temple, Old Wang took Skye to its hidden entrance.

• Old Wang and Skye arrived at the laboratory, where Lucy and Fitz described their research and Fitz estimated he could complete brain mapping and memory uploading within two months.
• Old Wang promised the researchers ten million dollars and assigned Fitz and Simmons to study the frozen Winter Soldier in an independent laboratory.
• Fitz showed Old Wang a three-dimensional scan of the buried underground city, which Old Wang identified as the Kree Temple.
• Old Wang asked Fitz about the effects of the underground city collapsing, memorized the map, and left with Skye for the hidden passage by the sea.

Skye underwent Terrigenesis in the Kree temple and gained powerful shockwave abilities that began destroying the underground city. Old Wang rescued her as seawater flooded in, and they escaped by teleportation.

• Old Wang guided Skye to the temple and told her to place the Obelisk on the stone platform while he waited outside.
• The Obelisk opened into pale-blue crystals and released Terrigen Mist, which covered Skye in a black stone cocoon.
• Skye broke free of the cocoon and unleashed shockwaves that cracked the temple and damaged much of the underground city.
• Old Wang entered the chamber, protected Skye with Golden Bell, and realized she could not yet control her new power.
• Seawater flooded the city through a damaged sea entrance, so Old Wang teleported away with Skye.

Old Wang explained that Skye’s uncontrolled shockwaves were causing destruction around them and helped her suppress them. He said Whitehall would come after the Obelisk, leaving Skye to wait for a chance to avenge her parents.

• Old Wang took Skye to a spot three kilometers from the Darkhold Laboratory, where her uncontrolled vibrations disturbed the wildlife and water around them.
• Old Wang explained that Skye’s shockwaves resonated with nearby objects and could become immensely powerful with training.
• Skye worried that she might accidentally cause a disaster or hurt Old Wang, so he used True Qi to cancel out her shockwaves.
• Old Wang said Fitz was designing equipment to help Skye control her ability, and he reassured her that he could keep her safe.
• Skye asked where Whitehall was so she could avenge her parents, and Old Wang said Whitehall would come to them because he wanted the Obelisk’s power and eternal life.

Egghead and Whitehall connected San Juan’s resurfaced underground city to the Obelisk and sent people to investigate, while Old Wang asked Fitz to find a way to counter Skye’s vibrations. Fitz outlined the equipment needed, leaving Skye worried about its cost.

• Hill reported a brief earthquake in San Juan that exposed an ancient underground city, and Egghead ordered an investigation led by Coulson.
• Egghead noticed the city’s concentric patterns resembled markings on the Obelisk and suspected a connection to the Kunlun People and Iron Fist, but decided not to call Old Wang.
• Whitehall concluded that the underground city held the Obelisk’s secret and ordered Hydra agents to San Juan, expecting Pierce to cooperate.
• Fitz tested Skye’s ability, offended her with an awkward comparison, and described equipment that could cancel her vibrations.
• Skye asked Fitz whether the equipment would be expensive.

Old Wang planned a rapid expansion of the Darkhold Laboratory, recruiting researchers and arranging stronger security while helping Skye train her shockwave ability. As strange visitors arrived in San Juan, Daredevil, Stick, and Black Sky Elektra quietly reached the laboratory, while agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra investigated the underground ancient city.

• Fitz estimated that a complete laboratory equipment set would cost over ten million dollars, and Old Wang ordered a fifty-million-dollar expansion with help from Director Fury.

• S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Hydra members investigated the underground ancient city, and a crucial figure emerged among them.

Whitehall and Pierce separately ordered their forces to seize the Obelisk and Darkhold, while Old Wang’s team prepared at the laboratory. As the lab’s equipment and combat uniforms were readied, Old Wang sensed the enemy approaching nearby.

• Whitehall concluded that Master Wang’s laboratory was Fury’s secret research base and ordered Bakshi to attack that night while watching Pierce’s forces.
• Pierce ordered Sitwell to find the Winter Soldier and have him seize the Obelisk and Darkhold, while keeping his own plans from Sitwell.
• Old Wang’s laboratory received S.H.I.E.L.D. equipment, and Fitz found hidden listening devices and cameras before Melinda returned them to Egghead.
• Fitz designed flexible combat uniforms bearing the Immortal Iron Fist’s green fist, while some weapons and Skye’s bracers remained unfinished.
• Old Wang sensed the enemy approaching from less than ten kilometers away from the Darkhold Laboratory.
