Diana received Zeus’s command to investigate Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s unexplained death, and Hippolyta warned that Yongye might be hunting the gods as part of Ragnarok. Two days later, Diana confronted Yongye in his new apartment and demanded to know how he had killed Susanoo-no-Mikoto without a trace.

• Zeus ordered Diana to investigate the truth behind Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s fall because it might be connected to Ragnarok.

• Diana visited Yongye and asked how he had killed Susanoo-no-Mikoto so completely that Amaterasu could find no trace of him.
• Yongye called the information classified, and Diana replied that she had a right to know as a member of The Boys.

• Kikyo asked Yongye to forgive Takamagahara for the misunderstanding and said Amaterasu hoped the matter could end there.

• Kikyo silently stepped aside, and Tamamo-no-Mae emerged from the shadows in her place.

• Tamamo-no-Mae sized up Diana and teased her, claiming she knew how to serve men better than she knew how to fight.

• After waking from three days in bed with Tamamo-no-Mae and Kikyo, Yongye opened the door for Natasha Romanoff.

• Yongye asked what Thor would offer in return and argued that The Boys was an official organization being asked to help a foreign planet.
• Natasha left in anger, insisting they could handle the crisis without Yongye and telling him to keep drinking and fooling around.
• Tamamo-no-Mae amusedly told Yongye that he had shattered Natasha’s belief that she was closer to him.

Yongye revealed that he knew Kikyo wanted revenge on the Gods of Takamagahara and Minato Namikaze and wanted to protect Fusang from Doomsday. Kikyo accepted his offer to help, and his whispered instructions left her visibly shocked and angry.

• Tony, Thor, Steve, Natasha, and Quicksilver arrived on the Bifrost and began fighting Hela’s forces.
