Shiva was at Orphan's cell when she received a report that they had lost contact with section 16, indicating Tigress's arrival as expected.

Tigress and her squad moved on to Shadows HQ. After Oracle disabled the main generator, they went in. As they neared Orphan's cell, Onyx attacked Savage, believing her a mole who could not be trusted. Savage promptly proved her right, and attempted to upload the intel she had stolen while with Tigress, but was stopped by Oracle. Tigress and Onyx were soon outnumbered by Shadows, but Cheshire appeared to even the odds, and they ran to Orphan's cell, where they were soon surrounded by Shadows, and Shiva demanded their surrender.[12]
