The pair were accompanied by Hulkling's bodyguard Lauri-Ell when during the vacation they were interrupted by an attack from Symbiotes. The creatures had been dispatched by their master Knull after having infected Kree and Skrull hosts where they were sent to target their emperor. Using his magic, Wiccan was able to hold back the Symbiotes and empowered Hulkling to help free the captive hosts. Working together, they managed to evacuate the planet where everyone was escorted to safety by the Kree/Skrull Alliance. Returning to the capital, Lauri-Ell arranged for Billy to get to spend time alone with his husband Teddy. (King in Black: Wiccan and Hulkling v1 #1)
