Once reunited with her teammates, Captain Marvel presents them to the Skrulls' leader. General Zedrao, who tells them how, after Galactus's destruction of their throneworld, the ruthless Nebula and her mercenaries had taken over world after world of the shattered Skrull Empire.

Thus, although neither side truly trusts the other, the Avengers and the Skrulls become allies against their mutual foe.
