Before going to public, Young Avengers members came face to face with an extraterrestrial threat and their parents.
Idolizing original group of
Avengers, young heroes
Hawkeye,
Hulkling,
Patriot,
Stature and
Wiccan were banded together by
Iron Lad to form
Young Avengers to homage to their fallen heroes. Together they were able to defeat
Kang the Conqueror but were forced by
Captain America and
Iron Man to discontinue their adventures.
Nevertheless, Kate Bishop has managed them new costumes and they continued fighting bad guys. Seeing them reappear in news, Cap decides to talk to their parents while the heroes get entangled with
Mister Hyde to save their friend Eli Bradley, who has been using mutant growth hormone and doesn't have any superpowers of his own.
Eli quits team because of lying to his friends and tries to move on with a normal life but his friends showed up to talk to him. Their exchange is cut short by the arrival of
Super-Skrull, who attempts to grab
Hulkling and abduct him. Billy and Cassie immediately jumped in to rescue Teddy from his clutches before he could run away.
Hulkling uses his super-strength to lose him and then ran with his friends but
Super-Skrull showed up at Billy's house with Eli as his hostage. Kl'rt states that he is a Skrull and he needs to return home but Teddy Altman refuses his claims. Revealing that his mother, Mrs. Altman is a Skrull as well before killing her,
Super-Skrull took him away.

Remaining members of
Young Avengers went to Avengers Mansion to seek help in finding Teddy. Edwin Jarvis tells them to wait while he contacts
The Avengers but they are offered assistance by
Vision in locating more heroes like them and they all head to a juvenile detention facility in New Jersey to rescue speedster Thomas Shepherd.
Cassie points out that Billy and Tommy could be twins before they make an escape out of there. Eli makes it clear to him that they want a hero on their team and not a super-powered teenage terrorist. Elsewhere in a remote location,
Super-Skrull tries to contact all Skrull member-worlds announcing to have gotten Dorrek VIII, referring to Teddy.
Hulking always believed that he was a mutant but Kl'rt asserts that he is a son of Skrull Princess Anelle of Skrull Empire and Mrs. Altman was merely a nursemaid of hers. When he was ordered to be executed by Emperor Dorrek VII, his mother sent him off world with her so he could live and reunite with his father someday but he never did.
However, conversation is interrupted by
Young Avengers sudden breaking in and subdued
Super-Skrull. As he was about to tell Teddy about his father, a Kree soldier shot him out of nowhere who claims that he is a Kree, not a Skrull. Captain Av-Rom of Kree Imperial Militia then tells
Hulking that he is the son of late
Captain Marvel.
Also, he insisted that Teddy has to join Imperial Milita and attacks him on his refusal to do so but Kl'rt shot at them back so
Hulking can escape. Their friends make quick work of remaining Kree soldiers before heading to Avengers Tower.
Super-Skrull confirms that Billy and Tommy are in fact lost twin sons of
Scarlet Witch, which
Vision verifies.
When a Skrull warship came to respond to Kl'rt, they are attacked by another Kree ship but Teddy manages to stand them down.
Captain America,
Iron Man,
Luke Cage,
Sentry,
Spider-Man,
Spider-Woman and
Wolverine took notice of what is going on and shows up on scene to work out a treaty but ended up fighting armies of both sides.
