File:Defenders Vol 1 57 001.jpg

Description
Months earlier Ms. Marvel’s image appeared out of the Orb of Agamotto, which puzzled the non-team, but with the events to follow they forgot all about it. In the present, an agent of A.I.M. named Arthur Shaman kidnaps Dr. Barnett, Carol Danver’s psychiatrist. He uses his powers of hypnosis to make Dr. Barnett a willing victim. That same night, Nighthawk and Hellcat receive a visit from Ms. Marvel at Richmond’s penthouse. She explains her precognitive power to the Defenders and how she sensed a friend close to her was in peril as well as the Defenders. Meanwhile, A.I.M. uses some advanced machinery to enter Barnett’s mind. There, they learn Carol Danver’s deepest fear, to be attacked and killed by the Hulk. After a short time Strange’s Sanctum Santorum is attacked. Clea, Valkyrie and Hulk rise to the defense. A.I.M.’s advanced android, Warbot, easily handles the three Defenders and takes Hulk prisoner encased in ice. Nighthawk sees the ship leaving and plants a tracer on it. He contacts Ms. Marvel and Hellcat and they head off to the rescue. When A.I.M. arrives at their destination they plan to brainwash the Hulk into killing Carol Danvers. Unfortunately for them the trio awaits. Ms. Marvel takes out Warbot while Nighthawk handles a bunch of A.I.M. goons and Hellcat brings down Shaman. When all is said and done, the Defenders return to Strange’s townhouse and Clea frees Barnett from Shaman’s hypnosis.
