SYNOPSIS (courtesty of Rey):

Having infiltrated a SHIELD base, Jess fights hard to save Jared from Nick Fury. Venom Blasts make little work of the SHIELD agents , but it’s Fury who convinces her to come with him to learn the truth about HYDRA.

Deep within their base, Jess is shown footage of Jared at a Morrocan Marketplace, killing innocents and children. All doubt is dispelled for Jess and Fury dives further, allowing Jess to understand how SHIELD know so much about her, and the true origins of her parents’ work. Fury also reveals to Jess what HYDRA were doing to her - studying, experimenting - once they learned of her unique physiology, and why they kept her in stasis in a tank.

All too much to bear, Jess lashes out and escapes with Fury calling off the agents to follow her. Time passes and Jess is not seen nor heard from and it is only after two years, that Fury finally gains intel into the whereabouts of Jessica Drew.

Discreet and within a London nightclub, Jared finally tracks Jess down - black hair and all - and wreaks his revenge on her. After being captured by SHIELD Jared had been subjected to relentless psychic interrogation, all of which drove him to seek revenge on Jess.

His mission to befriend Jess, the interrogation…all of it had resulted in Jared forming a deep hatred towards Jess, but before he can enact his revenge, Jess flees only to run into a group of HYDRA agents led by Taskmaster.

In an awesome display of power, Jess incapacitates the 30-odd men, using Taskmaster as the conduit for her venom blasts.

She heads back to Jared who is on the verge of blacking out, and abducts him.

As Jared awakens, he realises he’s strapped to a plane, hurtling towards General Wyndham. Jess leaves Jared to his fate and as the plane explodes into the building, Jess glides away in full costume.

Much later, in San Francisco, Jessica is met by Nick Fury who has managed to finally track her down. He has a proposition for her but all Jess wants is to be left alone.

As she pleads to Fury for a normal undisturbed life, and a chance to honour the memory of her parents…Fury remarks, “Who Told You Your Parents Were dead?”
