Bet friggin' Bain didn't expect the friggin' UNDERSIDERS to run a heist in the middle of our heist. Oh, no. What are the odds of that??
Hmmmm... leverage plus worm.....
Random crazy; Annette Hebert's maiden name might be, perhaps... Ford?
Nate hears about the locker incident soon after it happens, decides to take a stand supporting his niece - for Leverage timeline, say it's during the post-s1 break while the team is split up - and gives her a set of "don't get mad, get even" lessons in dealing with bullies. Taylor tells him (and her dad) about her powers, they help her plan her cape id and are generally supportive. Nate's told her about the advantages of working with a team, but doesn't trust the PRT (probably has Good Reasons), so she follows canon long enough to join the Undersiders. Along comes the bank job, Parker is there working her own heist...
Eventually various and sundry secrets are outed, and Leverage Inc takes up backing the Undersiders to help Taylor bring down Coil and rescue Dinah. Cue Nate: "Ok, let's steal a supervillain."
