Visiting Lee Wing in the hospital, Iron Fist feels that he has failed his friend in rescuing Colleen. This causes him to reflect back on a previous failure while he was still living in K'un-Lun: Back then he was attacked by Merrin, a fellow citizen of K'un-Lun who was jealous of Iron Fist for beating Shou-Lao, and wanted the Iron Fist power for himself. Attacked by Merrin and his men, Danny is out numbered until he is helped by a mysterious masked fighter. This fighter is soon unmasked and revealed to be Miranda. Everyone is shocked that a woman has trained in the martial arts as it is against the law for women to do so in K'un-Lun. She and Danny are both helped with the intervention of Conal D'Hu-Tsien who also helps defeat the last of Merrin's thugs. Conal explains to Danny that he has been secretly training Miranda. When Merrin tries to kill Miranda, Danny grabs his thrown dagger mid-air and throws it back at him. The trio are soon stopped by the guards, who arrest Conal and Miranda.
