LIVING ON THE EDGE Thorn runs through Metropolis at night reflecting on how she and Superman had taken down the 100 earlier and now she is afraid they are reforming. She enters Police HQ and searches their computer files. She researches Vincent Dennis Adams, a former love interest of Rose until his role in the 100 was discovered. She reflects on her earlier run-in with him following his early release. A policeman enters holding Thorn at gunpoint, though he mistakes her for Poison Ivy. She subdues him and escapes. The policeman was interrogated by Inspectors Sawyer and Turpin. Sawyer demands to learn everything they can about what Thorn was searching. Thorn goes to Schief's Bar where she ambushes Charles McGinty, a former errand runner for Vince Adams. While interrogating him, Eddie, a friend of Charles' who heard him yelp, tries to sneak up on Thorn but she takes him down with a single punch without looking. After a little shakedown, Charles mentions the name of Vince's supplier...Mr. Orchid. As she races away, her inner voice talks her into returning home instead of pursuing this new lead.
