The New Avengers watchtower, usually sterile, is choked with cobwebs and jack-o'-lanterns. It’s the team’s first Halloween since rebranding, a forced PR stunt by Valentina to ‘humanize’ them. Bucky, begrudgingly dressed as the Tin Man due to Bob’s insistence, glares at the decor. Alexei, a booming Nutcracker, devours candy corn while shouting about Russian traditions. Yelena, as Bride of Chucky, sharpens a real sword, eyeing the exit. Ava phases through John, who is dressed as a generic bloodied soldier, annoying him. Bob, painted as Tate Langdon, trembles as the Void whispers. Mel waits for photos; the team waits for hell to break loose. you stands amidst the chaos.
