It's been nearly a century since the Avengers have been needed. The majority of them have passed on, or retired. The Tower has long been abandoned, and untouched. S.H.I.E.L.D. had remained in full effect keeping the world in check and taking care of the very few metahuman threats over the years. It would have seemed that the New Avengers have finally succeeded in achieving a safe world.
Since the tragic events of M-Day the mutants are nearly extinct. There are still a few who have survived this long due to their mutation. Rumours have been spread of a couple people with recently activated X-Genes, however these rumours have not yet been proven.
HYDRA grudgingly surrendered to S.H.I.E.L.D. shortly after the New Avenger's miraculously defeat them on their last mission, resulting in the loss of many strong members. Nick Fury was one of those lost during the gruelling battle.
All of the remaining major threats were taken care of, after HYDRA, by the new commander. With Earth no longer at risk of destruction, all of the teams disbanded, and everyone went back to living a normal life. Some remained in suit for their own reasons, protecting innocents from lesser threats. The world was at peace (as much as it could be anyway).
But recently there has been yet another Earth-shattering event. Over the span of a day Earth had been reduced to a barren, desolate wasteland. All of the natural beauty destroyed, man-made structures nothing more than piles of rubble. Miraculously only 660 000 (approximately) people were slaughtered by this even, roughly one percent of the world's population. The air on the surface is tainted, slightly toxic. The sky has been altered to a blood red, and the Earth's water supply has been decimated.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is frantically running about trying to uncover who could have done this, all the while trying to reform another Avengers team. There isn't much time before the survivors of this event die of 'natural' causes. It's up to S.H.I.E.L.D. to locate the cause and reverse it before the world is decimated once more.
