Synopsis:
Mishi begins to tell Paul and Hay what happened to turn her into the lethal Wasp. As seen in issue #10 of the 1989 series, she left The City and the Hornet double life for Zurich, Switzerland, and a branch of the Kato family's company business. There she was received warmly by vice-president Jonathan Dunhill. Months passed, split between working and working out. While jogging through a park, she meets a local police inspector, Eric Dietrickson. A romantic relationship ensues between her and the young widower, along with a friendship with his twelve year old daughter Katya. Meanwhile at work, sheer luck brings to Mishi's attention a receipt that, when put alongside her knowledge of another company back in the States, proves that someone's been inflating outside charges, embezzling. She reports this to Dunhill, who promises a thorough investigation. Eventually, a suspect is identified, but found an apparent suicide, with Dunhill writing off the money as already squandered. Moments after Eric proposes marriage to Mishi, Johnny Dollar, a.k.a. Dunhill, and some hired thugs burst in shooting, the idea being to permanently silence Ms. Kato before she can raise her father's suspicions, but she survives. Not so fortunate are Eric or Katya, and Mishi is surprised to learn that she has miscarried Eric's baby. To be continued....
