You betrayed me, Reed. You helped me design the Watchtower -- only you would've had the technical know-how to bypass Cloc and give him an order he thought was coming from me. Why did you do it - wasn't it enough to kill me? Did you have to destroy everything I was in the process?
No! I... I don't remember -- Robert, you were my best friend. I would never knowingly have hurt you... you have to believe me --
No, I don't. You once told me you'd trust me with your life. You said I could expect the same from you. Always. How easily we forget, huh, Reed?

Synopsis for "Act 5: The Betrayal"
When Sentry returned to the Watchtower, his computer C.L.O.C. told him that he didn't know where he had been and that he had a self-modifying loop virus implanted and that it required him to inform him of its presence and that he didn't attempt to remove it. Sentry saw a transmitter powered by his own serum and asked C.L.O.C. why it was there and to disable it, although C.L.O.C. couldn't. He learned from C.L.O.C. that Mister Fantastic was the last person to give orders. At Xavier's, Professor X wouldn't reveal his encounter with the Sentry to the X-Men.
The Sentry easily disabled the transmitter himself but as a result, reality began to shift and the entire world began to remember him. However, everyone also remembered the Void and the Sentry remembered everything. In the past, the Sentry was supposedly killed and during his funeral, which was a setup of some kind, Reed declared that he was a "traitor" during his eulogy and that he was a "common criminal" who accepted bribes from known underworld figures for his own personal gain. The Sentry was enraged when he remembered what Mister Fantastic did to his image while Billy Turner took his old Scout suit and drove.
The Sentry returned to his house where Lindy apologized to him and processed remembering who he was. Then, the Void appeared and grabbed Lindy before revealing that he wanted the entire universe and to devour all souls, including hers. Before disappearing, the Void wanted Lindy to tell the Sentry that "he knows the answer" and to "look inside" as his answer for why he brought him back. Later, the Sentry revealed on the news that he had returned from exile and that the Void had also returned and was expected to make landfall on the Upper East Coast. Subsequently, some cities began evacuating and the Sentry urged his fellow heroes to unite.
Many heroes joined him, including Scout. When Mister Fantastic arrived, the Sentry confronted him for "betraying" him, although the former claimed that he didn't remember and that he would have never knowingly hurt him. The heroes waited while the Void was still minutes away and the Sentry began wondering if he was really a hero.
