The Crossing... Part 1 of 21
continued to Iron Man Vol 1, no. 320
Due to chronal shifting Yellowjacket is transported from the 31st century of Earth-691 to the near future of Earth-95411. There she founds the local version of the Avengers to be hunted enemies of the state. The local versions of Black Widow and Hawkeye appear and get killed. She continues to jump through time, followed by a teen-aged Luna. She witnesses a version of the Avengers fighting for the Avengers Mansion. Yellowjacket and Luna finally arrive in the present of Earth-616.
Luna tells Yellowjacket that her own presence there is forbidden and that he will kill her if he finds out. (Unclear who he is). Luna then warns Yellowjacket to leave before it began. It being the events leading to the divergence of Earth-95411. The girl then disappears. Yellowjacket does not understand what the girl was talking about and heads towards the Avengers Mansion to warn them about their potential future. She rings the doorbell and Iron Man opens the door. He somehow knows what she witnessed on Earth-95411 and figures she knows too much. He kills her and drags the corpse to the interior of the Mansion. The younger Luna watched the murder through a window.
The next day, teen-aged Luna attempts to return to Earth-616 and partly failed. She remained out of sync with these Earth's temporal pattern. She located Hercules and warned him about a threat to the oldest among the Avengers, Gilgamesh. She disappeared and feared that Hercules would not remember her warning. Sure enough, Hercules lost all memories of their meeting.
In the Mansion, Black Widow, Giant-Man, and the Wasp examine the mysterious, locked door in the sub-basement. Later the Avengers play cards and socialize. The relatively cheerful mood is ruined when Hawkeye starts blaming Iron Man for the death of Mockingbird, since he was not there to help her. Suddenly all scanners in the sub-basement die and there is a tapping noise coming from the mysterious door, as if someone is knocking from the other side.
In the Mansion's roof, Gilgamesh appears, rapidly aging and under attack by soldiers of Kang. The Avengers soon come to his aid and Quicksilver manages to drag him to safety. The Avengers won the battle and the soldiers fled. The Avengers then examined the poor physical condition of Gilgamesh, with his now aged and shriveled body.
Following the battle, the teen-aged Luna attempted to travel to Earth-616 again. Again she was out of sync, and disappeared before she had a chance to interact with anyone.
Later, Tony Stark broods in his office. Black Widow arrives to say that she is sorry for all the interruptions. Near midnight, Marilla is worried because Luna seems upset. She goes searching for Luna's favorite teddy bear in hopes it will cheer up the child. She finds it on the steps leading to the sub-basement. Marilla is surprised to see an unusual light coming from the sub-basement. She investigates and finds Iron Man next to the now opened mysterious door. She talks to him, saying that the other Avengers will be happy to find that he solved the mystery. He turns to look at her, and the look in his eyes warns Marilla that something is wrong. He fires a repulsor blast at her, aiming for her head. She is killed immediately.

Continuity Notes
While travelling through the Timestream, Yellowjacket ends up in the near-future Avengers Mansion; those events are actually a foreshadowing of Avengers: Timeslide #1.
Tony Stark is surprised by Scarlet Witch's new suit; this is a continuity error, since he has already seen Wanda with her new suit in Iron Man #319.
Although this issue considers Iron Man #321 as a direct next chapter, events from Iron Man #320 (which was published in September along this issue) take place before issue #321."
