The board in Rand-Meachum sit in their meeting room. "This doesn't look good," the chairman explains, "Howard's in police custody and he's not even speaking to us or his lawyers. Apparently, Howard sent some people after Danny Rand and, if his testimony is true, he was responsible for his parents' deaths. Who knows what else he's been involved with."

"This is going to be a PR nightmare," one of the chairmen exclaims.

"So who fought all those security guards?," another asks.

"Who knows? It's not like we have any footage."

"I can't believe Meachum would do something like this."

"Howard was acting strange before Danny showed up."

"So what happens now?"

"Now, Danny Rand can take his rightful place as CEO," the voice comes form across the room. The board turns toward the door. There, Hogarth leans against the wall, "According to the last will and testament of the Rands', Howard was meant to be acting CEO until Daniel reached adulthood. He's an adult now."

"We all know this, Jeryn, but let's be real," one of the members waves him off, "Danny just spent ten years in China or wherever. He hasn't been groomed for this sort of work."

"Legally, this company belongs to him and the CEO position is his if he so chooses."

"A young guy with no experience... c'mon, Hogarth, you know nothing good can come fo that."

"That is why the fine members of this board will take him under their collective wing and guide him until he can stand on his own feet."

"Let's not get too hasty," another member speaks up, "Howard hasn't even been charged with anything yet. He still has the position for the time being."

The secretary bursts into the room, "I'm sorry gentlemen. I just received word that someone killed Howard Meachum."

The boardroom exchange worried glances.

Danny practices on the roof, bare chested, taking various stances before performing quick strikes. He places his palms on the ledge, balancing himself on his hands, overlooking the streets below; then pushes off, flipping back toward the roof where he lands on his feet. From there, he squats into a lotus position and begins to meditate.

Misty and Colleen are in their office with Misty on the phone, looking worried, "Are you sure?... How many survivors?... Thank you," she hangs up. Colleen perks up, "What happened?" "I just received word that someone attacked the police precinct, killing several cops and wounded a few more. Whoever it was also went into the holding cell and killed Howard Meachum." Colleen stares, dumbfounded but before she says anything, there is a polite knock on the door. Misty looks up curiously and back at Colleen, "Were we expecting a client?". Colleen looks at her desk calendar, "No." There is another knock. Misty shrugs and goes to answer the door and once she cracks it open a bit, it is suddenly struck from the other side with enough force to knock her to the floor. Colleen leaps to her feet as she sees her friend getting thrown into the office.

Davos enters and delivers another kick just as Misty gets back up, sending her onto the couch. Colleen snatches her ancestral sword from the wall, quickly dropping the sheath on the floor before leaping over her desk. She takes several swipes at Davos who backpeddles away from the blade. She performs a sweeping, underhand slice that cuts across Davos' hip and kicks him to the floor. He checks the cut and angrily looks back up at her. She twirls the blade around and strikes in a downward thrust, so he rolls to the side as it gets stuck in the floor. He spins around on his back, giving her a kick to the knees which knocks her down with her sword still stuck in the tiles. He sits up just in time to have Misty's gun pressed against his forehead. "Make a move, sucker," she growls. He backhands the gun away as a bullet passes him. She brings the gun back around for another shot, but he quickly twists her arm back, forcing her to shoot out the window, then strikes her wrist to force it from her hand. She reveres the hold and pushes him away with a palm thrust to the chest. At that moment, Colleen comes in with a flying kick that sends him against the wall. The ladies stand side by side, striking a fighting pose. He jumps back to his feet with a smile, "Now I see why Daniel Rand-K'ai is so fond of the two of you." They leap forward with a double kick but Davos pivots to the side, dodging both legs. He blocks Misty's punch and ducks under Colleen's fist. He pops back up with a palm strike to her face. He blocks a low kick by Misty and backhands her. Colleen goes for her sword again, attempting to pull it out of the floor but he comes in from behind with an elbow to the base of her skull. She falls unconscious. Misty snatches her gun from the floor but by in the time it takes to take aim, she recieves a kick to the face. She falls alongside her partner on the floor,

Davos rubs his chin, a dark smile creeping across his face, "You've done well, Daughters of the Dragon," then approaches.

Back on the roof, Danny continues to meditate. He recalls the day he placed his hands in the shrine of Shou-Lao and gained the power of the Iron Fist. He recalls, Kei Lung's words, "You now have the power of the Iron Fist inside you. It will always be inside of you." Then he remembers his own words spoken to Misty Knight, "I'm still learning how it works. I think there's more to it than just punching things really hard."

Danny slowly closes his fist. His breathing becomes deeper. The words of Lei Kung return to him, "Concentrate. Feel it. Focus all your energy...," His chest begins to burn slightly as it turns red but then he begins to get flashes of Howard Meachum, his parents, and Davos. He grits his teeth angrily while his chest reverts to normal.

"Do not be distracted. You have a balanced mind. Use it."

Danny begins to calm himself again. He imagines his parents once again, but this time, it is a different memory: one in which they sit happily in a diner, sharing milkshakes. A smile creeps across his face.

His chest burns, revealing a long, serpentine shape.

He remembers training in K'un-L'un as Lei Kung watches.

The partial mark of Shou-Lao blackens on Danny's chest.

He remembers his first kiss with Misty.

His eyes opens as a flash of golden circles around his iris.

He raises his head. Calmly, he stands to his feet and examines the mark on his chest. His power has not yet fully returned but it's a start. He stands on the ledge, overlooking the city, ready for his next battle.
