Dilos confronted Coulson and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, demanding that they stop pursuing Alec Summers. He left them facing a choice between passing on his demand and risking a violent assault on S.H.I.E.L.D. or the White House.

Dilos and Lex discussed S.H.I.E.L.D.’s response to Dilos’s threats and the growing danger posed by William Stryker’s mutant-soldier research. Before leaving to handle new problems, Dilos asked Lex to help obtain Vibranium, deliver serums to Chloe and Gabe, and investigate Wade Wilson.

Dilos sought Pym Particle technology as a way to transport Vibranium without attracting the attention of powerful factions. He infiltrated Pym Technologies and forced Darren Cross to contact Hank Pym, leaving Hank on his way to meet him.

• Dilos decided to use Darren Cross to draw Hank Pym out because Darren had taken over Pym Technologies and was trying to reproduce Pym Particles.
• Dilos used a carefully prepared Green Kryptonite tattoo to phase through solid objects and infiltrate Pym Technologies' technical headquarters.
• Dilos entered Darren Cross's office, immobilized him with pressure-point strikes and a stream of energy, and found Darren's Psychic Ability Inhibitor.
• Dilos switched off the inhibitor and used his psychic power to make Darren call Hank Pym.

Dilos stole Hank Pym’s knowledge of Pym Particles and used the technology to shrink and steal the Vibranium hidden aboard Ulysses Klaue’s freighter. The chapter ended with Ulysses Klaue discovering his storage room was empty and raging over the theft.

• Dilos controlled Darren Cross to lure Hank Pym to Pym Technologies, then searched Hank’s memories for Pym Particles research and altered several people’s memories.

• A second alarm ordered all Mutant soldiers to the resource management room, and Dilos swore to blow up the base.

Dilos stole the base’s records and over a hundred X-Gene samples, hoping to use them to strengthen his Dinosaur Army. He then entered the prison, where he found a young girl watching him from a cell.

• Dilos destroyed the security cameras, packed the computers and paper records into a miniature warehouse, and escaped the records room unseen.
• Dilos took control of a mutant soldier, learned that William Stryker had left the base, and decided to search for the X-Gene material vault.

• Dilos noticed the girl’s unusual appearance and the scent of blood on her, then restored himself to adult size.
• The girl sensed Dilos entering the room and studied his armor, deciding to attack its softer sections.
• The girl charged Dilos with alloy claws, but his armor repelled her strike and sent her claws rebounding toward her eyes.
• Dilos stopped the girl with his mental power and found claws extending from her toes, identifying her as X-23.

Dilos examined X-23’s memories and discovered that Stryker had combined her Werewolf genes with multiple X-Gene variants, then resolved to eliminate the researchers and eventually Stryker.

• Dilos used his speed and strength to slice through the restraints, freeing Juggernaut, then asked him to honor his promise.

Aboard a private jet after escaping Stryker’s base, Dilos rejected Emma’s proposal to kill Stryker because he still had a use for him. As the aircraft neared its destination, Emma considered how to overcome Dilos’s distrust, while Juggernaut asked about the jet.

• Dilos and Emma used telepathy to kill the remaining staff in Stryker’s base, and Dilos set its self-destruct timer before the group escaped.
