They return to the mansion, only to have inserting Wonder Man's key provoke a security response! They manage to unentwine themselves, and thinking something is wrong, they burst through the door to find a technician (Scott Lang).

Inside, Gyrich addresses all Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. He tells them that they have to pare down to seven members (!!), and then proceeds to tell them who whose members will be! He lists Iron Man, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Beast, Captain America, Wasp, and... The Falcon? Iron Man objects, but Gyrich tells them equal opportunity for minorities is a federal requirement. Quicksilver also objects strenuously on the grounds that Falcon isn't even an Avenger, and then suddenly falls over.
