Iron Fist fights his way through Triple-Iron to get to Harold Meachum, only to find that the man who killed his parents has lost both of his legs and lived in terror for the last decade waiting for the inevitable confrontation with Daniel Rand. Unable to kill Meachum in vengeance, Iron Fist is leaving him to his fate when a mysterious ninja shows up and skewers Meachum with a sword. Meachum's daughter, Joy, walks in and believes that Iron Fist has killed her father.
