Most people try to break out of prison, Darkhawk is trying to break in. He infiltrates Riker's Island to find information about his father's connection to the mob. The break in doesn't go quite as smoothly as he hoped as the guards are alerted to his presence. After talking a one of the prisoners, Darkhawk goes to make his escape only to find himself surrounded by the prison guards. Darkhawk doesn't want a confrontation and opts to grapple over the guards to make his escape, but one of the cons grabs a gun and holds one of the guards hostage. Darkhawk, not wanting to set the prisoner free, discovers a targeting computer for his grapple claw which he previously unaware he had. He uses the claw to knock out the con and then makes his escape to the water, but not before taking several bullets to the chest. Darkhawk climbs aboard a nearby boat and makes his way back to the main island. Darkhawk turns back into Chris Powell and rides his bike home to see his mom and two brothers. A short while later, he is back out on his way to the airport to see what his informant had told him about. Once he arrives, he turns back into Darkhawk and notices his bullet wounds are no more. There he finds a drug deal going down, but before he can do anything about it, he is attacked by Savage Steel. The battle rages on and catches the attention of the drug smugglers and they take off in their sedan. Savage Steel gives chase though and destroys the car with everyone and everything inside. He then retreats having accomplished his mission.
