Plot
The Clockwork Dog's propose a loose alliance with the other villain teams that have come to Boston during the Boston Games. Accord and Detente suggest they divide up Boston for each team based on their specialties, be it drugs, or working with other villains. All of the villain teams present reject the Clockwork Dog's offers in some fashion, even as Detente offers to pay them to keep out of certain areas.
Ashley spoke up asking about the 'rest' of those present. Detente offered to pay anyone willing to make themselves known and provide assistance. As the major villain players left the meeting around the fire, a second fire was started and the lesser known figures began a second meeting. Ashley is looking for henchmen and offers Marrow a spot to work for her. He suggests a payment amount and Ashley balks at the amount. He rescinds his offer but shares information on Soldat. A bystander that heard the conversation became interested in working for Ashley and she offered to show him what she intends to do. Meanwhile, her power sparks without her control showing her control slipping.
The scene changes to a more recent memory of Riley operating on Ashely's prosthetic hands sometime after Gold morning. Sharpened tubes are seen sticking out from Ashley's arm stumps. Riley needed a look at Ashleys skin tones within her mouth so Ashley reached up with the sharpened tubes to show Riley, who cautioned Ashley to be careful not to cut herself. When Ashley asks why her the tubes are sharp, Riley explains that she had weaponized them. Ashley's anger at being weaponized against her will becomes so much that she strikes out and cuts at Riley's neck with her tubes. Riley and Ashley get into a heated standoff at knife point. A 'tea' related memory is brought up, and tension is relieved just before Amy Dallon walks into the room to check Riley's work.
The scene changes again to the Boston Games where Ashley approaches a transportation truck and blasts it with her power. The truck spills and she is put on the defensive by team Soldat who had several members on the scene. She fight with a mutating teleporter, a Striker that can detonate explosions with a tube, and another teleporter that seems to ignore gravity. Eventually, she leads the chase into a tunnel which she prepared ahead of time. Here she hides until Soldat returns to the toppled truck. It appears that another group begins fighting with Soldat over the contents of the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Edict approaches from the shadows and stops Ashley with her control powers. Ahsley explains her intentions for ruling Boston and accuses Edict of stalking her. Edict replies that she was assigned to Ashley and is required to keep an eye on her. Edict offers her a spot on the hero side, which Ashley refuses. Ashley powers through Edicts control and feels exploding pain in her head. She continues to walk away with no intention on slowing down.
