Spoilers: Betsy approaches Iron Man in New Jersey and enlists his help to attract the Fury with the Avengers. She believes that being in the company of the Avengers will improve her public image. At Braddock Manor, Rachel meditates and seeks the sacred timeline. Betsy returns to Braddock Manor, where the rest of the family is waiting to attend a charity ball sponsored by the Bradocks. The family makes a grand entrance on the red carpet, surrounded by photographers and journalists. Betsy announces that Rachel is her girlfriend and signs autographs for fans. Betsy and Rachel discreetly leave the event to meet up with the Avengers.
In the countryside, away from the public eye, Captain America (Sam), Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, Vision, Thor, and Black Panther join forces with Betsy to lure in the Fury with an illusion of Brian and defeat him once and for all. Betsy expresses her gratitude for the Avengers' help and asks Jamie to imprison Fury in a secure pocket dimension.
After the Avengers depart, Jamie teleports Morgan's Castle to British lands and claims he did it as a favor, apologizing for allowing her to be experimented on during his time as king. Morgan and Dr. Doom emerge from the castle, and Victor warns that any attempt to attack Morgan will be seen as an act of war against Latveria itself. Doom justifies it by stating that for the sake of the sorcery of the world, Morgan needs to stand on British soil.
Betsy becomes furious with Jamie, and everyone retreats back to Braddock Manor. The family regroups and contemplates new tactics to confront Morgan. After dismissing a direct confrontation, Betsy thinks it might be smarter to act from within: she wants Morgan to cooperate with Britain and depend on her, but they have to make her believe it's her own idea. Betsy enlists the help of S.T.R.I.K.E., with Wisdom, Lennox, and Alison joining them. Betsy will become a spy once again. Later, Brian decides to visit the pocket dimension and face the Fury alone.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Spy Betsy I take, mutant Betsy I take. Throw CB Betsy away for compost
It’s a bit odd to me that we have not seen any kind of reconciliation between Tom Lennox and a Betsy on panel. Upon awaking from resurrection, he would have still been madly in love with her, no? His last memories would have been of them being deeply in love prior to his assassination.
Also, was it ever explained why Alison Doubleday had to be resurrected? Last we saw of her, she, Betsy, and Gabriel were living on the estate that Mojo and Spiral kidnapped Betsy from. We never saw poor Gabriel again after his girlfriend (Betsy) was kidnapped.
Alison died in a car crash she was offed like all small characters get killed by their companies. A mention is all. We shouldn't remember Betsy was a guys' lady. Betsy is hot for Rachel whose male relatives Betsy banged some way or another.
@Rahsaan I thought Alison was alive and well. I miss the when and how she died. It might be the XMen office wanting to be completists and turn every known mutant into a resurrected Krakoa clone.
Indeed Tom Lennox was the most influential partner for Betsy with Warren in third place. In the comics Betsy felt a profound love for Tom Lennox and years after for agent Gabriel. With Warren it was casual and comforting like an open relationship between two upper class people.
Honorable mention to Neal Shaara who was the fiery and passionate relationship for Betsy. Pun intended because I imagine them having constant and mindless sex.
clearly marvel don't know what to do with her...
