Today's Lunchtime Reading West Coast Avengers #15 the Lady...or the Tigra

The West Coast Avengers are still trapped on a boat on the River of Death with Hellstrom, Hellcat and Master Pandemonium (see last issue) and he decides to reveal his origin. Mephisto saved his life after an auto accident and separated his soul into 5 pieces and gave them to five very different demons, in five different parts of reality. 

And finally lading in the Land Within (AKA the land of the Cat People) 

Master Pandemonium can sense one of his soul parts in the Land Within! The Cat People are not happy that the West Coast Avengers have come back to their world and have brought Master Pandemonium. Tigra can finally change from Greer back to Tigra, but is worried about losing herself in Tigra again. The Cat People decide to take the out-worlders to their king to face judgment. The King is upset that Tigra has not fulfilled her end of their bargain by killing Master Pandemonium.

The West Coast Avengers are not happy that Tigra has agreed to this deal since Avengers do not kill! Mockingbird figures out that it was Tigra that knocked her out when facing Master Pandemonium way back in West Coast Avengers #9. The Cat King tells Master Pandemonium that the reason they wanted Tigra to kill him was because they had one piece of his soul! 

The Cat King wants Tigra to complete their deal and takes her and Master Pandemonium to stadium the has his people remove the demons that Master Pandemonium uses for limbs. Tigra refuses to kill him because she is an Avenger! The Cat King strips away Tigra from Greer and locks her and the West Coast Avengers away. Hellcat gives her suit to Greer since she knows the Cat People and the Land Within better than her. 

The West Coast Avengers fight for their lives against the Cat People! Greer in the Hellcat suit beats the Cat People’s champion and during the battle the soul jar containing Tigra’s soul is broken and returns to Greer making her stronger, faster and with the mind of Greer Nelson. 

And in the confusion, Master Pandemonium gets the soul jar with one piece of his soul, smashes it and gets 1/5 of his soul back. Iron Man wants to chase him but Hawkeye says let him go since he beat Mephisto (at least 1/5^th) and they need to get back and have a BBQ since they got an Avenger back today!
