El Aguila has returned! Having seen Luke and Danny enter "a den of thieves" he has concluded that they are enemies, working for Suerte and Muerte! Jeryn Hogarth calls them up north to retrieve Jennie (although he will not say why), and El Aguila follows in plain clothes. Arriving, they learn Jeryn fears that one of his guards has betrayed him, and he needs help determining if this is true. He proposes Jennie as an undercover operator, but all of them veto that! Then Aguila strikes, easily overpowering the guards with his "shock sword". He thinks Jeryn is guilty of crimes, but his interference has enabled the disloyal guards to gain the upper hand! Now he must work with the Heroes for Hire to rectify his mistake. They try to escape, but Aguila and Iron Fist stop them. One remains, holding Jeryn at gunpoint... until Jennie clubs her with a T'ang Dynasty carving! Jeryn offers Aguila a job with Heroes for Hire, but he feels the mercenary nature of their operation isn't compatible with his quest for justice, and takes his leave... |
