Meanwhile, in Midtown. Fantastic Four is in the middle of fighting with the Hate Monger and Psycho Man, where the Hate Monger has turned the Sue Storm in Malice through a device, which Reed Richards has managed to reverse. Although she is still wearing the Malice costume.
Suddenly Beyonder appeared in the midst of battle, "Is hallucinating why there is eating?" He asked Reed.
"What on earth?" Reed asked in confusion. But at the same time, Human Torch was scared, and he lost control of himself, and a fireball went towards Reed. "Reed lookout!" He shouted.
"Don't worry, Johnny, I'll cover him with an invisible force field!" Sue replied as she saved Reed. "Whoever that's with him! What's he doing walking into the middle of a battle? Is he crazy? He almost got Reed killed, distracting him like that!" She thought looking towards the Beyonder.
"Thanks Sue," Reed thanks her. In the confusion caused by Beyonder appearance, the Hate Monger runs away, but is rejected by the Psycho-Man. He is subsequently shot by Scourge in front of the heroes' eyes.
Then the same question Beyonder asked Reed, which he asked to the shopkeeper and Spider-Man, "The multiplicity and disunity of this Universe is confusing!"
"The human condition doesn't often fall into neat, orderly patterns! Tonight for example! So much happened… So many forces were interacting at once! Frankly, I'm at a loss to account for that mysterious vigilante who destroyed the hate monger! The weapon he used is not commonly known…" Reed was trying to give the explanation, but he was disturbed by Sue.
"Reed why you ignoring me?" Sue asked, she is holding the hand of Reed.
"I shall seek elsewhere!" Beyonder replied and left from there.
"He's gone! I had a chance to reach him… Communicate…" Reed said.
"Reed, I don't know what all this is about, but I need you! I need you now! Don't you understand!" Sue again asked him.
"I.. Of course, darling, but… That was the Beyonder! He… His power is unimaginable! Godlike! I didn't understand how he survived from Ben. But a chance to communicate with such a being! It's important that.." Reed explained to Sue.
"Not now, Reed! I need you now! Am I important?" Sue again asked him, so Reed focused on her, and forgot about the Beyonder.

Meanwhile, Beyonder appeared in front of a department store window, and transferred a blue suit from a mannequin to himself, because he decided to try on a suit on himself.
A homeless lady saw him do it, and reprimanded him for not giving the money to the shopkeeper, while she simultaneously explained to him how to adjust its tailoring so it would fit better on him.
She was apparently completely unsurprised to see him use his powers, and because of her lifetime of hard experience began to tell him many of the hard truths about the world.
They walk and talk for a while, and are confronted by a gang of punks, who beat up the Beyonder. But he didn't mind because he liked learning from experiences like this.
The punks leave, threatening to come back later, and the Beyonder heals himself, wondering at the number of intense experiences he has had. He was now, however, learning about the importance of money to the people of Earth.
The homeless woman was amazed to see Beyonder heal himself. She gives him the card for the Heroes for Hire. And the Beyonder disappeared from there, he appeared in the Prestigious Park Avenue office tower of Heroes for Hire.
But no one was there, not the Luke Cage also called the Power man or Daniel Rand known as Iron Fist. So he peered into the not too distant past and brought them into the current time.
"What the?" Luke Cage asked, he was confused about what happened just now.
"Hey! Luke! What happened?" Daniel asked, he was also confused.
"I don't know, But I don't like it. I'm betting it's his fault," Luke pointed towards the Beyonder and rushed towards him to attack him.
But Daniel came in the middle of it, and stopped Luke. Luke again attacks the Beyonder, but he knocks them around, starting to play with the idea of physically fighting back.
Cage asks him to step outside, and the Beyonder takes it literally, walking out the window. Cage jumps after him to help, but crashes into the pavement after the Beyonder turns into energy before hitting the ground.
Iron Fist takes the elevator and stops Cage from hitting the Beyonder any more. "You don't stay alive for long on the streets asking questions first," Luke stopped but he said to Danny.
"Let's try it anyway," Daniel said, then he turned towards the Beyonder, and asked him, "Well, friend, would you care to explain who you are, what you want with us, and what is going on here?"
The same thing Beyonder replied, which he said to Spidey and Reed.
Daniel didn't understand anything, but he pretended, he asked, "I see, but it was broad daylight a moment ago, and now it's obviously late at night! How?"
"I moved you through the time to now!" Beyonder replied.
"Oh, I am not entirely sure why… But I believe you! You actually are from somewhere else, aren't you? And you're here to learn the ways of men?" Daniel said, as I understood a little bit.
Beyonder nodded, then Iron Fist was interested in talking about philosophy with the Beyonder, but Luke Cage cut him off by saying, "You gotta excuse my partner being a martial artist, he hung up on all that zen bull!"
Then Luke came near the Beyonder and said, "Everything is worthless, only one thing is important, and I can tell you what it is."
Beyonder then asked curiously, "What is it?"
Luke Cage then brings out some dollars and shows it to Beyonder, "This is it, man. Cash, money, with this you can get yourself just about anything including the services of heroes for hire! Without it, you got jack. A lot of trouble in this world is because there ain't enough of this stuff!" He explained the value of money.
"But… this is the paper! There seems to be much of it! It lies scattered in the streets!" Beyonder replied to Luke, as he pointed to some of the paper on the streets.
"This kind of paper is special, see! It stands for gold, and there ain't much of that. Which is why everybody wants it," Luke then tells the difference between the Money and normal paper.
"The Gold standard was abandoned a long time ago, Luke," Daniel corrected him.
"Whatever! You got that clear, now , Man?" Luke asked Beyonder.
"Yes! Multiplicity results in incompleteness! Incompleteness results in desires! Desires may be sated, but someone must pay! Cash is for paying! Cash stands for gold, of which there is not enough! I understand!" Beyonder replied.
Spider-Man also comes there swinging, he finds the Beyonder but he didn't see the Fantastic Four around, instead he sees the Power Man and Iron Fist around.
As thanks for their help, the Beyonder turned their entire building to gold.
"That's gold! He turned our building into gold!" Daniel said as looking his building. But suddenly the building can't support its own weight and it's collapsed. The Beyonder once again left in a flash of light.
—
Meanwhile, Ben is observing every move of the Beyonder, and he is now annoyed by this Universe heroes, who can't explain the way of living to Beyonder and each one is telling him the useless stuff, he used his powers and send back the Iron Fist and Power Man into their own timeline, and also returned back the gold into the building again.
Spidey was amazed to see this, he didn't understand what was happening just now, then he noticed Ben Tennyson, and ran away from there.
He didn't want to get into the between Beyonder and Ben, he tried to get as far away from them as possible. Ben then again focused back on the Beyonder.
"Hey, handsome! How about a date?" A white haired girl said to Beyonder.
"Are you addressing me?" Beyonder asked her. She replied, she is just standing here holding up the wall, and asked him, is wants to go out with her.
"I desire to understand!" Beyonder replied.
"Oh, you must be a foreigner or something! Well, look, sugar, I'm a public servant, okay? One of New York's finest! And who are you… Hmm?" White haired girl asked Beyonder.
"I am…. Hawww Hummm from Beyond!" Beyonder replied while he yawn.
"Oopsies, cover your mouth, when you yawn! You look tired! Why don't you rent a room over at the Columbus Hotel and get yourself a good night's sleep, and I'll tuck you in, okay?" The girl asked, which Beyonder nodded.
"Good! But first, let's see some cash, Honey!" The hooker girl said.
"I understand cash! Cash stands for gold! I learned this earlier!" Beyonder replied as he produced the gold to give her.
"What? Who are you trying to fool, man? This can't be real! Nobody can make gold bricks out of thin air!" Hooker girl said and threw the gold on the ground, Beyonder tried to explain, but she ran away.
Beyonder then goes inside the hotel which the hooker girls recommended. He gets a room and goes to sleep on the floor, not understanding the use of a bed. The clerk, meanwhile, gets a call from a local mobster, Vinnie.
