"--Termination?" (Lifeform Part 4 of 4)The Silver Surfer has traveled back to Earth to tell the Avengers about Thanos' death. He meets with Captain America so they can update their files. Cap is unsure that Thanos is dead but the Surfer assures him that he is and regrets killing him, which he did not mean to do (Thanos has actually faked his death).Mr. Fantastic is contacted by Nick Fury and is asked if he could check up on a virus at Bellevue. He claims it is probably nothing. On his way he meets the Silver Surfer and is surprised to see him. He asks for the Surfer's help, to which he agrees.The creature known as Lifeform has escaped the hospital.
