Chapter Summaries

Daisy and Captain America fought Magneto aboard a train while protecting a girl from him. Daisy found ways around Magneto’s magnetic defenses and guided Captain America’s attacks, but the battle was still underway.

• Magneto demanded that Agent Johnson hand over the girl, while Captain America objected and Daisy ordered the passengers to evacuate.
• Magneto used his magnetic power to trap the passengers, and Daisy fired bullets infused with magnetic force as Captain America charged him.
• Magneto blocked the bullets with metal and stopped Captain America’s punch with twisted train seats, then swept debris through the carriage to halt the bullets.
• Daisy sensed Magneto bending light and directed Captain America to strike his hidden position.
• Daisy began dismantling Magneto’s force field and called out its weaknesses as Captain America attacked where she directed.

Daisy and Wolverine fought Magneto aboard a train while trying to rescue Rogue. Wolverine escaped Magneto’s control with Daisy’s help, but Magneto took control of the train and began crushing the carriage.

• Magneto used his powers to pull Rogue toward him, but Daisy resisted and tried to keep her safe.
• Wolverine burst through the carriage ceiling and cut Rogue free, then charged Magneto instead of fleeing with her.
• Daisy used the weak force on Wolverine, causing severe pain and radiation damage but freeing him from Magneto’s magnetic control.
• Wolverine attacked Magneto while Daisy handed Rogue to Captain America and worked to break Magneto’s force field.
• Magneto expanded his control to the whole train and twisted the carriages, while Captain America carried Rogue outside and urged bystanders to move away.

Director Daisy and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team fought the Brotherhood outside the train, but Magneto’s group outmaneuvered them. Daisy discovered that Mystique had impersonated Wolverine and that the real Wolverine had been captured as Magneto and the others escaped.

• Director Daisy joined Captain America and Miss Mockingbird in fighting Sabretooth and Toad outside the train.
• Wolverine appeared to take Rogue away, while Daisy and the agents attacked Toad.
• Nightcrawler teleported Toad out of the gunfire and joined the Brotherhood’s side.
• Magneto emerged with the captured Wolverine and revealed that Mystique had impersonated him.
• Nightcrawler teleported away with Magneto, Sabretooth, and Toad.

Daisy rescued civilians after Mystique and Rogue escaped, then returned to Xavier's School and found Professor Charles unconscious and Rogue still missing. As Storm, Cyclops, and Wolverine argued over what to do, Daisy proposed asking Emma Frost to help search for Jean, Mystique, and Magneto.

• Daisy directed the rescue at the collapsing station, helped evacuate the civilians, and left with Captain America and Wolverine.
• Daisy told Director Fury she had not detected Mystique's disguise and explained Captain America's identity to the amnesiac Wolverine.
• Daisy and Wolverine returned to Xavier's School, where Iceman explained that Professor Charles had passed out after Mystique tampered with Cerebro.
• Storm and Cyclops returned to the school and argued with Wolverine over whether to search for Jean or defend the school.
• Daisy proposed that Emma Frost use Cerebro to locate Jean, Mystique, and Magneto.

Daisy and Cyclops sought Queen White’s help against Mystique and Magneto, but Cyclops’s lecture provoked her into a psychic attack. Daisy resisted Queen White’s control and launched a counterattack, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Daisy and Cyclops visited Queen White at Frost International to ask for her help, while Storm protected the school and Wolverine tracked Mystique and Magneto.
• Cyclops lectured Queen White instead of making a diplomatic appeal, and she demanded an apology before agreeing to help.
• When Cyclops refused to apologize, Queen White unleashed a psychic shockwave that knocked him and the building’s employees unconscious, while Daisy resisted it.
• Queen White challenged Daisy with focused psychic control, but Daisy endured the pressure and advanced toward her.
• Queen White offered to apologize and withdraw her attack, but Daisy rejected her apology and hurled the God-Slaying Sword at her.

Daisy and Queen White, Emma Frost, fought to a stalemate until Daisy used vibrations to wear down Emma’s psychic control. Emma finally unleashed her power to escape, but Daisy caught her and dragged her back.

• Daisy rushed Queen White with her sword, forcing Emma Frost to choose between diamond form and psychic control as they reached a dangerous stalemate.
• Daisy and Queen White refused to trust each other enough to release their holds, and Daisy began vibrating her body to wear Emma down.
• Daisy taunted Emma while maintaining the vibrations, and Emma struggled to keep her psychic suppression intact.
• Queen White overtaxed her psychic power in a sudden burst, pushed Daisy back, turned to diamond, and tried to flee.
• Daisy caught Queen White’s wrist with her nails and pulled her back into her embrace.

Daisy restrained Emma Frost and tested how her vibrations affected Emma’s diamond form, but Emma revealed a lethal crystal-projectile attack that wounded Daisy. Daisy armored herself and continued demanding Emma’s surrender.

• Daisy pinned Queen White down and searched for a vibration frequency that could affect her diamond form.
• Daisy discovered Emma could still feel sensations in diamond form and used a lasso to restrain her while continuing the vibrations.
• Queen White resisted Daisy’s psychic provocation, but the sensations overwhelmed her until she released her bodily restraints.
• Emma fired a cone of sharp crystal fragments at close range, leaving Daisy badly wounded.
• Daisy healed, put on Asgardian armor, and pressed Emma to surrender as more crystal projectiles struck her.

Daisy and Queen White survived their psychic battle, and Daisy used Cerebro to help Queen White control her vastly amplified telepathy. Queen White located several Brotherhood members and raised uncertainty about Mystique’s whereabouts.

• Daisy and Queen White exchanged memories during their psychic battle, and Daisy gained improved psychic techniques while showing Queen White the power of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Cyclops woke and found Daisy and Queen White battered; both women recovered and prepared to test Cerebro.
• Daisy and Queen White returned to Xavier’s School, where Beast Hank confirmed that Cerebro was safe to use.
• Queen White put on Cerebro and nearly lost control of its immense psychic amplification, but Daisy and Storm helped her withstand it.
• Queen White reported that Magneto was hidden by his helmet, Sabretooth and Toad were in New York, Rogue was not with the Brotherhood, and Mystique’s location was uncertain.

Mystique abducted Rogue while disguised as Daisy, but copying Daisy’s appearance caused her Mutant cells to clash with the simulated Inhuman cells and spiral out of control. As Mystique collapsed in agony, she convinced Rogue to use her absorption power on her.

• Mystique escaped the train station with Rogue after disguising herself as Daisy and fooling the staff with a fake FBI identity.
• As Mystique led Rogue away from the city, her body began trembling uncontrollably because her Mutant cells clashed with the simulated Inhuman cells.
• Mystique collapsed as her cells failed, and she realized Rogue’s power might absorb the dangerous energy in her body.
• Mystique struggled to make Rogue understand that she should use her power, then nodded when Rogue asked if she wanted to die.
• Rogue removed her glove, touched Mystique’s arm, and activated her absorption power.

Rogue absorbed Mystique’s simulated Vibration and Eternal abilities, leaving her overwhelmed by new sensations and information before she helped Mystique recover. Daisy left Xavier’s School and began planning S.H.I.E.L.D.’s own response to Magneto, bringing Reed in to help develop anti-magnetic mechanical soldiers.

• Rogue absorbed Mystique’s simulated powers and was flooded with immense energy, heightened senses, and overwhelming information.
• Rogue’s Vibration powers magnified their physical sensations, and Mystique resumed vibrating as the two struggled with the effects.
• Rogue gave Mystique her windbreaker and helped her rest, then resolved to settle accounts with Magneto after Mystique recovered.
• Queen White could not find Jean, while Cyclops and Beast pursued Sabretooth and Toad and Storm stayed to guard the school.
• Daisy returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and decided to develop anti-Magneto mechanical soldiers because ordinary weapons would not be enough.
• Daisy brought Reed in to help research anti-magnetic materials for the mechanical soldiers.

Daisy secured Reed Richards’s return to New York by arranging bail and compensation for The Thing, then tasked him with developing technology resistant to magnetism. As Magneto’s actions pushed humans and Mutants toward open conflict, world leaders gathered for a summit in New York, where Daisy helped Wakanda’s king make diplomatic connections.

• Daisy used S.H.I.E.L.D.’s name to secure The Thing’s release in Latveria and gave Reed an interest-free loan to compensate the people harmed by The Thing’s rampage.
• Reed returned to New York with The Thing and agreed to develop magnetism-resistant technology for Daisy.
• S.H.I.E.L.D. agents found Senator Kelly, whose genes collapsed after Magneto’s experiment, intensifying opposition between human leaders and Mutants.
• As leaders arrived in New York for the summit, Daisy arranged introductions between Wakanda’s old king and leaders from two African countries.
• T’Challa thanked Daisy for helping his father join the summit’s conversations, and Daisy said she considered T’Challa and Ororo friends.

Rogue overwhelmed Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants, leaving the summit undisturbed and the Mutant Registration Act under negotiation. Daisy then used Reed’s robot-soldier designs to prepare a global sales campaign, which Justin Hammer promoted to world leaders.

• Daisy waited for trouble at the summit, but the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents reported nothing unusual until Mockingbird showed her satellite footage of Rogue attacking the Brotherhood.
• Rogue defeated Toad, Sabretooth, and Nightcrawler, drove Magneto into retreat, then flew away before S.H.I.E.L.D. could respond.
• The summit ended with nations agreeing in principle to the Mutant Registration Act, while Daisy ordered limited surveillance of Rogue and Xavier’s School declined to search for her.
• After Professor Charles awoke from his coma, Daisy arranged for Hammer Industries to repay Reed’s debt, rebuild the Baxter Building, and acquire his robot-soldier blueprints.
• Daisy had Reed design three grades of Anti-Magneto Robot Soldiers, and Justin Hammer pitched the low-end models to world leaders by invoking Senator Kelly’s death.

Daisy sold restraint robots to world leaders, struck a business deal with Queen White and Justin Hammer, and discovered Jean had crossed more than a thousand light-years to an alien world. Jean was safe for now, but Xavier's School could not reach her, leaving Professor Charles to ask whether S.H.I.E.L.D. could help.

• Justin Hammer frightened the world leaders with exaggerated stories about Magneto, and governments ordered more than eighty restraint robots from Daisy.
• Daisy, Queen White, and Justin Hammer exchanged company shares, strengthening Daisy's position in Hammer Industries and her ties to Queen White.
• Daisy entered White-Hot Space and found Jean, who revealed that her other self was on a distant alien planet.
• Daisy used her star map to locate Jean in Gienah, over a thousand light-years from Earth, among the long-lived Xantari.
• Daisy reported Jean's whereabouts to Xavier's School, where Professor Charles, Storm, and Cyclops reacted with varying degrees of worry and relief.
• Professor Charles asked Daisy whether S.H.I.E.L.D. could help bring Jean back, since the X-Men had no way to cross the distance.

Daisy recruited Shadowcat Kitty to help remove the bullet lodged in Frank Castle’s head, using a new laptop and other computer gear to motivate her. Kitty began the delicate procedure at Daisy’s villa, and Frank’s vital signs remained stable as her hand entered his skull.

• Daisy asked Storm to introduce her to Shadowcat Kitty so Kitty could help treat someone.
• Daisy tested Kitty’s ability to pass through walls and carry objects through barriers, then encouraged her to practice.
• Daisy contacted Nick Fury, who brought Frank Castle to her villa the following evening.
• Doctor Stephen Strange reviewed Frank’s reports and warned that removing the bullet might not fully cure his condition.
• Daisy offered Kitty a laptop and mechanical keyboard, and Kitty agreed to attempt removing the bullet.
• Kitty inserted her translucent hand into Frank’s head while Daisy monitored his stable heartbeat and blood pressure.

Kitty removed the bullet from Frank’s head, and Daisy later tracked Mystique and Rogue while waiting for her Eternals genes to develop. After attending Lorna’s school orientation and handling official business in Washington, Daisy met Sharon Carter, who questioned S.H.I.E.L.D.’s decision to monitor Captain America.

• Kitty phased the bullet out of Frank’s head, and Daisy took her to buy a computer as thanks.
• S.H.I.E.L.D. agents found Mystique and Rogue driving south together, and Daisy ordered them to keep watching from a distance.
• Daisy and Danger estimated that her Eternals genes would develop in ten months.
• Daisy attended Lorna’s school orientation, met Uncle Ben, and learned that Peter Parker and Lorna could compete in the school’s science and technology contest.
• Daisy told Coulson that Nick Fury planned to monitor Captain America, and Coulson agreed without objection.
• Daisy met Sharon Carter in Washington, where Sharon questioned S.H.I.E.L.D.’s decision to monitor Captain America.

Daisy arranged a Christmas vacation south aboard Zephyr One, and the trip grew from a small outing into a large group excursion. As friends, children, parents, and colleagues joined, the story left with an expanding passenger list ready to depart.

• Daisy reflected on Nick Fury's secrecy and arranged for Sharon Carter to monitor Captain America periodically, while Sharon invited Daisy to go shopping.
• Miss Elektra returned to Daisy's villa and received her agreed share of the advertising money, while Daisy paid Captain America separately and exchanged phone numbers with him.
• Daisy proposed a two-week Christmas vacation south aboard Zephyr One, and Lorna invited Mary Jane, Jessica Jones, and Peter Parker.
• Mary Jane invited Miss Dagger, Peter Parker invited Tyrone Johnson and Harry Osborn, and Coulson joined as a guardian with his cellist girlfriend.
• Daisy invited Hill, Sharon, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, who boarded with his wife and children.

Daisy and the others traveled aboard Zephyr One to an undeveloped island in the Bahamas for a group vacation. Before they arrived, Daisy treated Black Widow’s abdominal scar and discovered the extent of her hidden injuries, prompting her to consider broader medical treatment for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

• Stark insisted on joining Daisy’s trip to Florida, and a large group of agents, friends, and family boarded Zephyr One despite Nick Fury’s suspicions.
• Daisy toured the aerial fortress with the others as Stark and the fat bodyguard searched it for S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets.
• Black Widow asked Daisy to remove a scar on her lower abdomen, which she had suffered while recovering Stark’s missiles in Central Asia.
• Daisy removed Black Widow’s scar and discovered that her body was riddled with injuries and that she could no longer bear children.
• Daisy told Black Widow that the Science Department had developed medicine that could repair her body, and she considered seeking more Kree for treatment supplies.
• Zephyr One landed on an undeveloped island in the Bahamas, east of Florida.

Daisy brought the group to an apparently untouched island for a vacation, where they spent the day playing and relaxing. The chapter ended with Daisy successfully completing a limbo challenge at the barbecue.

• Daisy and the agents searched the island and declared it safe, then allowed the group to settle in while keeping the children away from the forest.
• The teenagers played on the beach as Daisy and the others sunbathed, played volleyball, and chased each other.
• Daisy showed off her swimming and body control in the waves, while Hawkeye tried to match her on a surfboard.
• The group held a barbecue and started a limbo contest, and Daisy adjusted her posture to make it under the pole.

After the beach party, Peter, Harry, and the other young people went into the woods to investigate a figure Peter had seen earlier. They found a strange bowl-cut boy who approached them, leaving the group frightened and unsure what he was.

• After the party, Daisy half-forced Hill into her room while the young people gathered in Harry and Peter's room to hear Peter describe seeing a child in the woods.
• Peter, Harry, and the others sneaked off the plane and headed into the woods, with Harry and Peter at the front and Lorna guarding the rear.
• The group heard footsteps circling them, and Dagger used her light to illuminate the trees as they followed Peter's earlier trail.
• Dagger threw a light dagger at the tree where Peter had seen the figure, and the group spotted a bowl-cut boy standing behind it.
• Cloak sensed no extradimensional aura from the boy, while Lorna found his magnetic field unlike that of a normal person.
• The boy stepped into the light, asked if they had come to play, and advanced as the frightened group backed away.

The children encountered Sandman on the island, and Daisy flew in to rescue them. After Sandman grew to enormous size, Daisy attacked him and began raising a whirlpool at the shore while the others prepared to evacuate by plane.

• The Bowl-cut Kid transformed into Sandman, who grew into a giant and chased the children through a sand maze.
• Daisy heard the gunfire, left her room, and flew to the children's rescue.
• Daisy burned and shattered part of Sandman's body, then told the children to return to the plane.
• Stark arrived in his Mark V armor but had no flamethrower, so Daisy flew to the shore and used her powers to churn the seawater into a whirlpool.
• Sharon and Hill helped the children change clothes and board the plane, and Hawkeye began pulling up on the controls.
