SYNOPSIS (courtesty of Rey):

After Nick Fury finally tracks down Jess and reveals that her parents are still alive, Jess demands answers.

Aboard the Hellicarrier, Jess learns of her father’s ongoing involvement with Hydra, but also her mother Miriam’s tragic events and eventual off-the-grid location.

Tracking her mother using her maiden name, Brumback, Jess is surprised to find her mother’s apartment occupied by Hydra agents, one of whom is Whiplash an assassin.

Fleeing the scene after a confrontation with Jess, Whiplash leaves Spier-Woman to discover her mother, Miriam murdered. Amidst her corpse, Jess discovers some documents, one labelled the Athena device.

SHIELD soon catch up with the events at Miriam’s apartment and again lose contact with Jess. They do, however, note the connection with the Athena device, and a name..Otto Vermis.

Aware that Vermis would be Jess’ next target, Fury instructs SHIELD to find Vermis immediately.

Out on the Mediterranean Sea, Vermis is aboard his boat, alongside a woman who is more than willing to entertain him. Vermis suddenly shocks her by accusing her of spying and brings out Whiplash to verify. The woman continues to plead ignorance until Whiplash winds up to strike her. It’s revealed it is Jess in disguise, and she leaps from the boat to the safety of the waters.

Believing Jess dead, Vermis, Whiplash and crew soon discover that Jess has more than escape planned when she flees in a speedboat, blowing up Vermis boat, along with all on board.

Later, on an oil rig, Jonathan Drew ponders the experiments and research he has undergone for Hydra when all of a sudden, there is Spider-Woman - Jessica Drew - ready to confront her father.
