Suggested by underworld_stories
Tobey sits chained in an underground cell as Ezekial interrogates him. Above the mansion, Clint stands on the roof with Morgan. He begs her to help free Tobey, but she warns him this is his last chance to leave before she's forced to kill him. Clint reluctantly agrees, only to spot Mitch, Nick, Mark, and Iris approaching. They reveal Marc escaped the island. The war against Mercenary must wait—they have to reach Marc. Clint tells them the Hunters have a helicopter, but Morgan steps between them. She can't let them leave. Clint tries reaching her, but her body erupts with energy. Mercenary's experiments transformed her into a living weapon. Mark counters with blasts of fire, but the clash alerts the Hunters. Gunfire erupts across the mansion grounds. Daryl watches from a balcony as Hunters fall one after another. Morgan's powers overload, leaving her exhausted. Nick storms inside and holds Ezekial at gunpoint. Mitch orders the surviving Hunters to kneel. Mark executes the remaining Hunters until only Ezekial and Morgan remain. Morgan can't summon her powers. Mitch gives them one choice: surrender the helicopter or die. Before anyone answers, Daryl shoots Ezekial through the head. He admits Mercenary abandoned him and offers to join Ghost. No one accepts. Outnumbered, Daryl lowers his weapon. Morgan, finally free of her father, chooses to leave with Clint. She leads the team underground, where Tobey is freed. Tobey embraces Iris while Clint welcomes him back. The group boards the Hunter helicopter. Daryl warns them Mercenary will come for them. "They can try," Mitch replies. As the helicopter departs carrying Mitch, Clint, Tobey, Iris, Nick, Mark, and Morgan, Daryl heads for the Mercenary Compound. Standing before the Commander, he claims Ezekial delayed him but presents something valuable—a photograph of Mitch's transponder revealing Ghost's location. The Commander smiles. "You've earned a little more time." He hands Daryl a mission. Find Ghost. Kill Marc Marigold.
