Waering has sent the WetWorks team on a mysterious mission to protect some children in a small town. Nothing seems out of the ordinary until strange creatures interupt the riverside baptism.
As the team fights off the creatures, Grail witnesses one of them slash through Jester's symbiote shell, only to reveal that there is no body underneath.
Unfortunately, the team is not able to save all of the children. They then meet up with a mysterious warrior who claims to have been a protector of the dead child. When he gives his name as Blackbird, the team decides to take him back with them.
Blackbird reveals to Waering that not only is he Pilgrim's brother, but he is a werewolf himself, and that Waering is in his debt until Pilgrim can be located.
