It was good to be back in London. Besides Muir Island it was the only place that felt like home to Del. She entered her flat and looked around. Everything was just as she left it before she had left to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. for a brief period. Tomorrow she started back at her old job with Scotland Yard in their superhuman division. It should be interesting seeing how England now had a superhero team of its own. Del had a feeling she was going to be very busy.

She sighed and dropped her bags. First things first. Time to shower and then go by some groceries.

The small ship dropped out of hyperspace, but had it arrived too late?  The usual space traffic that surrounded the Shi'ar Throneworld of Chandrilar was light, and what few ships remained were either warships, now actively engaged in battle, or trying to flee the immediate area.

What dominated their field of vision was a ship who's geometry was utterly alien, almost seeming to not exist in quite the same space as everything else.  Taa II, the worldship of Galactus, Devourer of Worlds.  Galactus himself, for the moment, was nowhere in sight, but as close to the planet as the ship had come, it would not be long.  Unless the X-Men could do something, the Shi'ar Empire's days were likely numbered.
