In "Embedded", there's a truth buried deep in the heart of every war, and reporters Sally Floyd and Ben Urich will be there, uncovering that truth in the midst of the biggest conflagration in the Marvel Universe! In the wake of the Stamford disaster, the public cries out for super hero registration. Are the costumed heroes of the Marvel Universe protectors or ticking time bombs? Find out here! And in "The Accused", the lone survivor of the team that caused the Stamford tragedy has been found. But living through one of the worst super human disasters in history may be the worst thing that could happen, as this vilified hero is placed under arrest for the deaths of an entire town. Unfortunately, the trouble's just beginning. Also featuring "Sleeper Cell," starring Wonder Man, and true tales of war time in "Correspondence."

Ten days later, they are granted a meeting with Tony Stark to get his side of the story. They confront him with the facts as they know them: that Tony Stark himself manipulated Norman Osborn to help bring about the brink of war with Atlantis in order to provide sufficient motivation to bring the rest of the unregistered heroes around to his side in order to prepare for America's defense. However, Sally and Ben tell him that they are not going to publish the story. Tony doesn't admit that they are correct, but after they leave, when he breaks down sobbing.
