Avengers: No Road Home #2: Despair Can Break Anyone, Even an Avenger

Va Nee Gast aka Voyager watches from The Far Shore, Challenger’s prison. As she watches Gods and Goddess fall in battle against the Mother of the Night. Zeus had trapped her, but when the Earth was stolen (In the events of Last Years Avengers No Surrender) the planet went dark, freeing Mother of Night, Nyx.

Voyager questions if she should go help blaming herself of these events that have unfolded. By doing so, she would leave Challenger unguarded. However she cannot stand by and allow Earth to fall, she goes to assemble the Avengers (seen in the last issue). The battle continues to rage on, Wanda maybe blind as Hawkeye checks on her, Hulk and Hercules attempt to take her out, but to no avail. Voyager and Vision join the battle taking their best shots.

Perhaps the one emotion that can destroy us is not sadness, love, but Despair. Mother of Night has a small Army; one of the members can create feelings of Despair. Hawkeye has an internal conversation while on the battlefield, which quickly because a voice of despair, feeling worthless, no chance of being any help, he is just a guy with a bow and arrows.

Spectrum and Vision take a shot, followed by Hercules showing a small weakness in her. The battle continues as Nyx captures Voyager. The others are teleported out. Hawkeye wakes up in the hospital. He realizes he is missing fingers. He sits back and thinks of what has unfolded. Hulk appears soon after wanting to settle things since they are now alone.
