** Hope pulls one of these on the [[spoiler: Slaughterhouse Nine]] with the assistance of [[spoiler: the Undersiders]], [[spoiler: the Wards]] and [[spoiler: Miss Militia]], using a [[spoiler: Contessa Path-To-Victory plan. The Siberian is killed by a combination of Kid Win, Tattletale and Skitter tracking down the van William Manton's in, forcing their way inside, and letting Skitter's venomous bugs and the Canon-Alexandria-Trick do their stuff. Hack Job gets 4 nice doses of BoomHeadshot from Miss Militia's [[{{BFG}} Sniper Rifle]]. Bonesaw is apprehended by Weld (who's mostly immune to anything she can throw at him) with some help from Grue (and though we don't know it at the time Imp). Cherish is tasered and mastered by Regent (Imp helped again) and told to get out of town or he'll make her "walk into traffic". Crawler has his AdaptiveAbility and regen dampened by Amy and a Flechette crossbow bolt through the brain before Bitch's dogs go to town on him, eventually ripping out his brain, and with it the connection to his powers. Hope takes Jack out of the fight early on, stripping him of his blades one by one. Once he's disarmed, she has Amy neutralise his internal bio-plague failsafes and his Bonesaw upgrades. He has a VillainousBreakdown from all his plans falling apart, more so when Miss Militia enacts JudgeJuryAndExecutioner and puts a bullet in the back of his head, dying on his knees like the Bitch he is. Slaughterhouse Nine casualties: All but Cherish. Cape casualties: Zero. [[KickTheSonOfABitch And then Cherish is killed in a Backalley by Shadow Stalker]].]]

--> '''Clockblocker:''' I gave you some tips about Skitter the other day. Here's some about Hope. Do not ever underestimate her. She is sweet and kind and nice, and she will literally give you the shirt off her back or her last bite of food, and she will bring you back from the dead if she can possibly do so ... but she's also the one who planned this whole shebang, [[spoiler:caught Jack Slash, and ''held him down'' so that Miss Miltiia could put a bullet in the back of his head]].
