Lots of stuff going on this issue. First of all . . the Heavy Hitters are chasing down Nonstop, because she's shooting off her mouth. In the process of that chase, and his arguments with Outback, Prodigy decides that he's had enough. So he goes on TV, tells the reporters that Nonstop's report of criminals in the Initiative is correct, and 'outs' Boomerang. He then declares his teams succession from the Initiative. Night Thrasher, Justice and the rest of the New Warriors immediately see the report on TV and want to rush to their aid. Norman sends in a few other Initiative teams from nearby states. 'We need to put this down decisively in such a way that no one else even dreams of making the same mistake.' He's got Cloud 9 on one of the responding teams, and Norman's given her permission to fire at will, 'Kill shots!'. Also, because of his help in retaking the Negative Zone prison, they're spinning Hardball as a 'true blue patriot'. They're saying he was a double agent all along. Anyways, long story short . . all these various factions come together on Prodigy's location, but all Prodigy wants to do is make a stand. He waves off the New Warriors help, because he doesn't want to get them any deeper into the hole than they already are. But before they leave, Telemetry, Nonstop and Debrii go with them. They've all just had enough of the Initiative in it's current state. They wanted to be heroes not outlaws. And although Cloud 9 feigns missing her shot at Night Thrasher, Taskmaster has no problem grazing his head. So in order for the New Warriors to get out clean . . they have to leave him behind. But Norman has a special surprise for Donyell. It appears that he's had his brother Dwayne all along. 'Let's talk about how we can get your brother back.' If you ask me . . this all just shows how Norman's precision plan here is starting to come apart at the seems. And all I can say it . . It's about frikkin time! So far Norman's expertise has been spinning all of these stories or events to his favor. But . . the stress is starting to take it's toll. Not on him . . but on all the other willing and unwilling participants that have been dragged along or shanghaied through this process. Not to mention . . without Ms Hand, I don't know how Norman could keep track of all the lies or tales that he's spun since this all started. It's all got to come down like a house of cards. I'm just wondering how Norman's going to survive the whole thing. It seems like more and more people are turning on him, or just wanting out. But . . how many more lives is he going to screw up before that happens? Really, my biggest concern is . . I hope there's still an Initiative around when all the dust settles. There's a lot of good characters here. I'm just wondering where they'll all end up. Christos Gage writes this book, with Rafa Sandoval doing the art.
