Synopsis for "Lost in Space-Time, Part 3: The Times of Their Lives!"
Hawkeye, Iron Man, Tigra, and Wonder Man end up in the Arizona region of 1776 and Clint is in the midst of panic at Phantom Rider grabbing Mockingbird away at the last second, stranding her 100 years in the future. The others calm him down reminding him that Bobbi can take care of herself and that their best hope is reaching their destination to get a properly functioning time machine and then rescue her without time as an issue. Before they can worry about that, they're ambushed by a cavalry of Spanish soldiers. During the ensuing battle, Wonder Man pulls a stunt of grabbing a bunch of the soldiers' guns and crushing them in his invulnerable arms, but this causes an explosion that the not-so-invulnerable Hawkeye gets caught up in, injuring him badly. The Avengers flee to a nearby cave, but not unseen. A Spanish missionary named Carlotta Valdez follows them and offers them medicine, bearing no ill will to them despite the assumption that they represent English spies. Hawkeye starts to recognize Carlotta and her stories as the woman from Firebird's vision, and upon questioning she reveals she has had similar visions of Firebird/Espirita and of people that looked much like the Avengers. Hawkeye doesn't want to tell her everything he knows, particularly about how Firebird's vision suggests she's going to die, but he gets an idea of how to take advantage of meeting with Bonita's ancestor. He breaks off the head of an inkjet arrow to write a message on a shred of cloth: "Bonita -- We are lost in time. Contact FF. Tell them we're trying for Rama-Tut's Egypt. --Hawkeye", and has Carlotta keep the message somewhere safe.
In 1876, as chance would have it in the same cave, Phantom Rider brews a special Comanche herbal potion to administer to the unconscious Mockingbird, so when she awakes, she forgets all about who she was and only knows that she loves the Rider as much as he loves her. Rawhide Kid and Two-Gun Kid are tracking him down to bring him to justice, but now with Mockingbird on his side, Phantom Rider defeats them. As Slade and Bobbi prepare to head out to a new hiding place, Bobbi trips on the discarded old inkjet arrowhead in the cave and feels something is familiar about it. She decides to keep it as a souvenir.
And back in the present, Espirita gets Hank to work through his depression by having him demonstrate the use of his Pym Particles, which starts to remind him of the stimulation he finds in science. As they call it a day, they walk by Bonita's family bible, which she brought with her from home on her visit to the WCA compound. As they pass by, they fail to notice the cloth sticking out of the pages with a certain message written in English.Appearing in "The Fire at Heaven's Gate!"

Synopsis for "The Fire at Heaven's Gate!"
A medical team arrives at the Defenders’ headquarters to take care of the frozen Angel and Valkyrie, who were poisoned by Manslaughter. Meanwhile, in nearby Elijah, New Mexico, Sheriff Garvin Macken stops at Tex’s Tavern, where some of the locals are discussing their disdain for immigrants as well as the stories that Warren Worthington is harboring mutants at his Aerie. One of the men shows off his own “super power” — being invulnerable to fire — which is why he’s called “Blowtorch Brand.”
The Defenders bring Manslaughter into town to turn him over to the Sheriff, who asks if they are empowered to make an arrest or if they read Manslaughter his rights. Suddenly, Tex comes running to tell the Sheriff that Brand is trying to burn down his tavern. Moondragon and Cloud confront Brand, who has set both the tavern and himself ablaze, and Cloud smothers his flames with her cloud-form. The Sheriff takes Brand into custody and receives a phone call from General Argyle Fist to hold onto Manslaughter until his men can come from Washington to pick him up.
Back at headquarters, Angel discusses the future of the New Defenders with the Beast, pointing out that the group has no security system, medical facility, or legal status. Angel proposes that the team needs a real leader who can take care of these things. Back in town, Brand is bailed out of jail by a wealthy factory owner, who employs Mexicans illegally to make bootleg designer jeans. There is a rumor that Immigration and the FIC are going to investigate the factory, so the owner hires Brand to burn it down.
The sheriff calls for the Defenders when the factory workers are trapped inside during the fire. Entering the building, the Defenders find that Brand is holding the workers prisoner while the factory burns down. Cloud tries to smother him again, but Brand uses an actual blow torch against her, which causes her pain. Angel flies her to safety, while Valkyrie disarms Brand. Meanwhile, Iceman creates an ice slide for the workers to escape.
When Sheriff Macken learns that there are two more workers trapped inside, he rushes into the building to rescue them. Angel tries to stop Macken, but Valkyrie holds him back, saying all is as it should be. The sheriff emerges from the fire with the two workers, but he has inhaled too much smoke and is near death. Valkyrie wraps him up in her cape and vanishes with him. When she returns, the other Defenders are surprised, but she reminds them that a Valkyrie’s job is to escort the souls of worthy mortals to Valhalla.Appearing in "Superioribus 20"
