Enjoying his victory, Red Skull calls for his daughter to bring him his ice cream while Deadpool calls out to him, explaining his plan. While keeping him distracted, Deadpool tells him he went to the former location of the X-Mansion and went looking for something. He found it - Magneto's thought shielding helmet, and with his last ounce of strength, plops it over Rogue's mind controlled head. She stops beating him to death and looks up at the Red Skull as he and Sin run away. Before pursuing him, she apologizes to Wade and takes off.
In one of my favorite recurring jokes of this series, Sin starts to tell her she'll have to get through her to get to Red Skull and Rogue immediately punches her through the wall. Knocking the Skull through the Avengers' Mansion's outside window, she grabs him by the neck while he threatens her unconvincingly. Wong and Spider-Man fight Human Torch and Vodoo until slowly Red Skull's mind control over all of them fades. Along with Quicksilver, Wasp, and Synapse, they run back towards the mansion. Synapse and Voodoo run inside to attend to the mind erased Cable and the near dead Deadpool. He asks Voodoo if everything is ok and Voodoo tells him Rogue flew away with the Red Skull, disappointing for Wade as he'd hoped to be the one who killed him.
Torch and Synapse work to help the wounded members of their team while Wong evacuates the costumed hotel guests. As the Avengers gather outside, Deadpool takes a quick dig at Fox's Deadpool sequel as the rest of the team are curious about Rogue's plan. Since anything post capture of the Red Skull wasn't an Avengers objective, Voodoo concludes it's obviously something the X-Men working on. The issue wraps with Rogue, still wearing the Magneto helmet, flying into New Attilian with the Red Skull. She tells Beast to scrub up, they have some brain surgery to attend to. With that, the Uncanny Avengers gets a few more members closer to their roots, a teaser for the return of Professor X, and finally a promise to be continued.
This series should clearly be Gerry Duggan's calling card. As much as he works on the expansion of Deadpool's character, it's so much more expanded when you give him some other iconic characters to work with. While I don't know much about the future of this book, everything up to this point has been amazingly enjoyable and I hope it continues in some way, even if short of a few X-Men. I give this one a 10/10.
