Title: Sympathy for the Devil
Writer: Fabian Nicieza
Penciler: Mark Bagley
Synopsis:
The New Warriors have been captured by Gideon and he questions Marvel
Boy as to why they invaded his home. He tells Gideon only after
he threatens Firestar. Marvel Boy tells Gideon that the Warriors
were there to find out information about him since they discovered
that his company, Ophrah Industries, was involved with the Taylor
Foundation. Furious at the fact that the New Warriors illegaly
invaded his home, he uses Marvel Boy's powers to knock him out and
decides to question Firestar. In Oakland, the Smiling Tiger is approached
by the Left Hand after he has murdered three men involved in a drug
deal. The Left Hand recruits him, promising to guide him to discover
information about himself. At Mount Sinai Hospital, a woman
visits Chord and refers to him as her husband. When she notices
a strange smell she runs away screaming. We see Tai standing in
the shadows of the hospital room smiling devilishly. Back at
Gideon's home, Firestar tells him how they attempted to invade his
home. Night Thrasher and Robbie snowboarded down a mountain side
towards Gideon's home while the other Warriors provided a distraction
so that they wouldn't be noticed. Speedball and Night Thrasher
arrive at the house, greeted by Gideon who duplicates Speedball's
powers and fights them both. The other Warriors show up, but
Gideon easily defeats them, using their own powers against them in
ways that they never knew possible. After continuing to question
the Warriors, Gideon gets them to admit that if they are willing to do
anything to discover the truth, that they are no better than
him. Gideon then agrees to tell them what he knows of the Taylor
Foundation.
