Horus shows up on the astral plane in time to stop Requiem from killing War Witch, but not in time to save her coven. The resulting confrontation blows out the exterior wall of the apartment War Witch, Apex and Sally share. As heroes stop in to make sure everything is alright, agents from Crey Industries arrive to arrest Horus and Sally for infiltrating the corporate headquarters. In over their head, the young heroes go to someone they once met with more experience... The Back-Alley Brawler.
