Plot
[edit]In the Fifth Dimension, the Watcher stands trial before the other three Watchers, the Eminence, the Incarnate, and the Executioner, while Captain Peggy Carter leads a team consisting of Kahhori, a grown-up Byrdie, and a Mjolnir-wielding Storm in stopping multiversal incursions. After preventing an inter-dimensional universe-eater[a] from attacking Earth-625,[b] Carter and her team notice three shards from the Watcher's observatory and resolve to help him. After their first attempts to synthesize the shards fail and cost them two, the group consider requesting help from a variant of Infinity Ultron, agreeing to use Time Variance Authority (TVA) equipment to prune him should he go rogue. After a heart-to-heart with Storm, Carter resolves to meet with Infinity Ultron alone, only to be captured by the Eminence. Noticing Carter went missing, Kahhori, Byrdie, and Storm confront Ultron, who reveals that he has realized there is no peace without life and concludes that he made a mistake in extinguishing all life in his universe. Though it is too late for redemption, he is willing to atone for his actions and absorbs the shard before agreeing to take them to rescue Carter and the Watcher.
