Summary
Lula’s a Horseman now, but only because she’s taking a dead kid’s place.
She’d seen the theories that Jack had survived somehow, that his death had been faked, but the grief on Dylan’s face was too real to ignore. The rest of the Horsemen, too. In hindsight, she probably should’ve known that they wouldn’t take well to a replacement after the last one literally died, that bouncing in with boundless enthusiasm and affection and pretending their confusion and betrayal didn’t affect her at all would make things worse. Stupid of her, right? She got her wish nearly two years after she made it, and it feels more like a curse than anything else. Goddamn monkey’s paw bullshit. If she was a more superstitious person, she’d wonder if that wish is what killed Jack Wilder in the first place.
...
Jack Wilder is supposed to be dead. He's definitely not supposed to be blocking the escape of his former team at the Octa show, and he's definitely not supposed to be trying to kill them.
But he is--and if the Horsemen want to get him back, they're going to have to outrun him, first. Problem is, no one ever outruns Death.

Summary
He was supposed to understand. He was not supposed to lead him into a comfortable cell and tell him that he was going to be “helped.” That he was a person and not a weapon. That he was supposed to do something other than follow orders. He is being changed from whatever he was built into, and he does not know whether he should be happy about it, but the anger is easier to understand. It is easier to feel. It’s almost comforting. There is so much for him to be angry about, and it comes so easily, and he lets it drown him.
You took me away, he snarls when the Horsemen come to visit, watches them go wide-eyed and stunned, McKinney’s jaw clenching and May’s footsteps faltering and Reeves’s mouth twisting into a frown and Atlas’s hands twitching. You took me away from my purpose. My mission.
You’re dead. The second I’m free of this place, you’re dead. All of you.
...
Jack Wilder starts to recover from being the Asset, gradually rebuilding his memories of the Horsemen and who he was before. It's a slow process, at first--and then it spirals a little bit out of control.
The Horsemen are by his side every step of the way.
