As Moon Knight makes his escape to inform the Defenders of his findings and try to save Jack Norriss, Scorpio now has Nighthawk as his hostage beside Norriss himself, who was a necessary collaborator in Scorpio capturing Nighthawk. The Defenders reunited with Moon Knight decide they need the Hulk’s power to help free Nighthawk and Jack from Scorpio’s base.
