Following the death of the Black Widow, Iceman has orchestrated a reunion of his old superhero team the Champions in Los Angeles to honor his fallen friend's memory.  Outside the old Champions building, which Iceman laments has become a gym, he is joined by Hercules, Warren Worthington III (Angel), and Johnny Blaze (Ghost Rider).  They move to a restaurant, where they share stories about when they first met Black Widow; all except for Iceman, who dodges the question.  They're soon joined by their final old teammate, Darkstar, who like the others is mourning their friend's death.  That night, in the Hollywood Hills, Iceman and Angel discover a young lady named Leti with a wrecked Sentinel in her backyard that she's trying to reactivate; they confront her and tell her to get rid of the giant mutant-hunting robot.

The next day, Iceman meets a man named Judah who asks him out on a date, prompting Bobby to ask his friends to join him at the bar that evening.  The date that night is interrupted by a group of attacking Sentinels, who the special effects artist has reanimated in a bid to film them as exposure for her career.  The Champions go into action and pretty quickly destroy the Sentinels, allowing Iceman to continue his date with Judah.  The next morning, the Champions meet up at a Russian bakery to eat pastries, where Bobby finally tells them about how his first meeting with the Black Widow involved him using some terrible pick-up lines on her and how embarrassing it is to look back on.  Later, Iceman visits Leti at her home and, instead of turning her in to the police, gives her contact information for a professor at UCLA who could help her harness her technical skills for something positive.  Back in New York, at the X-Mansion, Iceman continues to talk to Judah and eventually decides to move to Los Angeles for good.
