Synopsis for "Lifeline"

Awoken by a nightmare, Jessica Drew believes that the recent disappearance of super-humans she has encountered has to be part of some plan. Drawing a shower, she also disappears much to the horror of Lindsay McCabe who had come to check on her. Jessica, in her Spider-Woman costume finds herself the prisoner of the Locksmith and his assistant Tick-Tock. The Locksmith was an escape artist who believed that super-humans had made his amazing feats irrelevant and so had began targeting super-humans who associated with her, capturing them all after their defeats at her hands and incarcerating them in the specially built prison of his own making.
She finds that the Shroud, Tiger, the Werewolf, Poltergeist, Angar the Screamer, Daddy Longlegs, Dansen Macabre, Gypsy Moth, Hangman, Killer Shrike, Needle, Nekra, Flying Tiger and Tatterdemalion are all prisoners of the Locksmith. Tigra and Spider-Woman try to come up with ways to break out of their cells (Each one specially made to contain it's occupant) when trying to rouse the Shroud fails, Tigra is able to utilize Poltergeists telekinetic abilities to break them all free. Before the Locksmith and Tick-Tock can gas the room, Spider-Woman switches costumes with Gypsy Moth.
When the Locksmith thinks he has everything back under control, Spider-Woman breaks out of Gypsy Moth's cell and easily defeats the Locksmith and frees all his prisoners. After turning over the Locksmith, Spider-Woman takes Shroud, Tigra, Poltergeist, Gypsy Moth, Daddy Longlegs, and Jack Russel back to her home to celebrate with David and Lindsay.
However the celebrations take a tragic turn when Spider-Woman is plagued by morbid images, and David tries to break up with Spider-Woman, being unable to deal with her status as a super hero. As David is telling her this, he is possessed by her old friend Magnus, who warns Jessica that Morgan le Fay has orchestrated everything in an attempt at stealing her soul.
Spider-Woman then agrees to have her soul sent back to the 6th century to take on Morgan le Fay once and for all. After a battle against Morgan, her forces and various magical illusions and tricks, Spider-Woman manages to best Morgan in combat and knock her out of her castle, causing her body to disintegrate. Returning back to her own time, Jessica tries to re-enter her body when she realizes, to her horror, that it is dead. Realizing that Morgan le Fay still won, Jessica agrees to accompany Magnus to the Spirit Realm. However, before going Jessica realizes that her friends will never know what happened to her and so has Magnus erase all memory of Spider-Woman from the minds of the people she knew so that they don't worry about her. With the task done, Jessica says goodbye to the mortal world and walks off into the Spirit Realm with Magnus.
