Synopsis for "The Legacy of Thanos!"

Back from her vacation, the Wasp is shocked to learn of the Vision's aborted world takeover plan. Accepting full responsibility, the Vision resigns the chairmanship and, accompanied by the Scarlet Witch, leaves for Washington and a scheduled debriefing session. Meanwhile, aboard Sanctuary II, Thanos's former starship, Captain Marvel encounters the newly arrived four-man crew of another ship, comprising four different alien races. After helping them repair their craft, she is startled when Sanctuary ll's hyperdrive is suddenly activated, transporting the ship to another galaxy. Her four shipmates then reveal that they are mercenaries and entreat her to join their band or risk never again finding her way back to Earth.
