Heroes for Hire (2011 series) #10

At the Raft’s Infirmary, Shroud and Elektra are fighting a horde of killers under the command of Killgrave, the Purple Man. Elektra wonders why the villain doesn’t just control them but Shroud knows it is because Killgrave is enjoying the show. Shroud fills the room with Darkforce, shielding them all from Killgrave’s influence and giving the advantage to the two heroes who are both adept at fighting in the dark. They also shut off the comm link to Misty Knight as the sound is giving their positions away….

Misty checks out the horrors around the country then Paladin checks in…

…telling her Yancy Street has been leveled by the possessed Thing. He and Gargoyle could do nothing to stop him; they decide to go back over the battlefield to search for casualties they could help. Misty stocks up on medical supplies and sets out to join them…. 

Paladin and Gargoyle run into people fleeing a monster. Gargoyle enters the dust cloud and encounter a glowing angelic being; he is suddenly consumed by guilt, begging forgiveness for embracing the power of darkness. Paladin searches for him and find him turned to stone. Then Paladin encounters another enemy: a bigger, stronger, better version of himself—who easily beats him to a pulp. And the villain is revealed to be the monster that was once Brady Briedel….

At the Raft, Killgrave is frustrated with how his scheme has fallen apart so he takes control of Shroud’s and Elektra’s minds, commands Shroud to dispel the Darkforce…and orders Elektra to kill Shroud….
