Back
at Black Widow’s apartment, called “The Web,” Natasha watches as White Widow
spars with their guest Lucy, the young woman rescued from crime boss Apogee.
Nat and Yelena argue over this, Yelena wants to train Lucy to be part of their
organization while Nat just wants Lucy to recover from her trauma and decide
what she wants to do with her life. Moving on, Yelena has discovered that
Apogee owns multiple properties in the area and they need someone on the inside
of the organization. Nat reveals she has already recruited Spider-Girl (Anya
Corazon) to take a job at one of the shell companies to report on developments;
Yelena is upset that she wasn’t consulted on this and Nat apologizes. Anya has
discovered that Apogee’s cult-like followers are called the Olio. Nat talks to
Lucy who has electric powers that manifest when she is disturbed and, once
calm, she volunteers to stay and help fight the villain; she has one piece of
information, the name “Voss.”
In
disguise, Nat and Yelena attend a meeting of the Olio cult where the masked Apogee
commands three followers to drink the contents of suspicious looking vials. Nat
shoots the vials out of his hand and Apogee disappears while his super-powered
worshipers take on the two Widows and lose badly. They capture one of the
hoods, a guy with stretchy powers called Gumby. Back at The Web, they question
Gumby but he has little to tell them—and then his body melts away, leaving a
puddle on the floor. Lucy fears that the same thing will happen to her….
