   Summary

   The Defenders are not a formal team, but they're a trusted network. They're comfortable, they're familiar, and they work together with the easy, bickering rhythm of people who have seen each other at their worst and best. A new, highly potent synthetic opioid is flooding Hell's Kitchen, Harlem, and the docks. It’s time for the Defenders to fight as a unit once more.

   Just some good, old-fashioned Defenders doing their Defenders thing. That's all. That's the fic.
