Rather than fighting, Dane merely check to see that Drake hasn't been using his magical powers to manipulate the gold market. Drake assures Dane he only uses his intellect and Dane leaves. Dane leaves, thinking Drake might be a good ally for Avalon when Drake seemingly springs up from the shadows/darkness. Drake fires a blast of mystical energy at him. Dane calls upon his armour but Drake is nowhere to be seen. In Drake's offices, Dane appears, with tendrils of darkness coming from him and shoots at Drake only to disappear a moment later. Drake is able to deflect the bullets since they are teflon-coated, not pure metal. Dane, upon Strider, appears at the window and calls him out to battle. The two battle, but Dane decides to take the fight away from the cityscape lest innocents be endangered. He realizes that both he and Drake are being strongly motivated by anger.

Drake appears, healthy, having used a spell to hid his appearance. Dane explains that he and the dragon were able to overcome the anger spell cast on them. Dane demands to know who their master is.

A short time later, Drake has discovers that Malekith was his principal rival in the gold market. Dane senses the presence of a powerful malignant force, but is unsure of its origin. Drake and Dane go their separate ways as allies.
