## Part Two (Face Off)

Official Synopsis

THE BATTLE AGAINST A NEW THREAT CONTINUES – Following the discovery of a new enemy, the Team is forced to handle a growing list of accusations against them. Discoveries are made, twists are revealed, as Team Prototype faces off against a dangerous metahuman with an agenda for death. As war spills into New York City, the forces of fate change the status of Team Prototype forever, in perhaps the most shocking Prototype: The New World episode yet!

### Sci Notes

Hell Breaks Loose in New York City when an explosion occurs, and is believed to have been caused by Tyler’s heat vision. Similarly eerie events, such as the death of a man through ice, the death of a woman with the same chemical id used for Queen Bee’s toxins, a financial advisor is shot with a gun used by Mark Tenison, and a bank robbed by a man who looked like metal (alluding to Rashard’s powers), lead to the government ordering a manhunt for the heroes, who they believe are true threats.

### Story

Opening

Opening shows the government investigating an explosion in NYC, as Brigadier General Hassan Tanveer, the man who captured and interrogated the Team two episodes ago, spots something in the wreckage. Having men pull it out, its’ a chunk of wall with two lines burned across it. Hassan Tanveer, being asked what that is, says "It's a terrorist attack on our nation. The good news is, I know exactly who did this. The bad news is, we invited them to stay".

#### Act I

In Team Prototype's suite, the team is starting to get used to their new living spaces. Ferrari is watching the news about the recently captured Dr. Timore from the previous episode, before talking about the city's latest annoucement to re-open the Statue of Liberty to the public for the first time in two years, having been closed down from public access following The Event. As footage focuses on the Statue of Liberty and its torch, Ferrari thinks about her vision of the pink and purple lighting striking the Statue of Liberty and causing mass destruction (from last episode). As the news channel quickly changes to discussing the recent midseason finale of a murder mystery series set on an island, she quickly turns off the television, going out onto the balcony instead. She gets a call from Mig, who is in a wheelchair  in the hospital, looking at the city. Mig talks about how amazing the city is, how different it is from Stocker. Ferrari agrees, saying she feels like she might be warming up to the place. Mig is obviously glad to hear that, thinking Ferrari is finally starting to relax and accept this new life, and says he's going sightseeing as soon as he can get out of the hospital, asking if she wants to come. Ferrari agrees to come, and he leaves, unaware that Ferrari is lying to him about how happy she is in the city. Ferrari exits the balcony as Mark gets on it with a Pepsi. He opens the can up and starts to drink it, when he sees police cars coming towards the suite. Looking over at the suite, he sees a few window blinds move in sync, alerting his eyes.

Lincoln wakes up to find Rashard in the kitchen with Jada, who has been showing Rashard how to cook a proper breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage), but Lincoln tells Jada no coffee, as he's never liked coffee. She tells him that she'll run below to the front desk and ask about a nearby place to buy groceries. Jada leaves to get her coat and exits the suite, as Rashard and Lincoln begin talking. Rashard discusses with Lincoln how now that they're back in civilization, when Father's Day comes around, they can have a proper father's day. Lincoln says he'd like that, and excuses himself to use the restroom.

Jada arrives in the lobby of the building they now live win, when suddenly S.W.A.T. surrounds her, as Hassan Tanveer in full military armor asks her where her mutant freaks are. Meanwhile, Taylor is waiting to use the bathroom when Cody comes out of it, with only a single towel covering him (so in other words, he's shirtless). Cody apologizes for taking too long and Taylor tells him that it isn't a problem, she's in it for the long run. Cody is confused by this statement, and Taylor says that it's nothing, teling the "dork" that she was just kidding. Cody laughs then, as Cody invites her into the bathroom. She starts walking into it, as he starts leaving, and the two bump into each other, making Cody fall over Taylor on the ground. For a moment, their heads are close to each other, invading their personal space. Taylor apologizes, but Cody says it was his fault. After apologizing, Cody asks if there's something Taylor's been meaning to tell him at all, and Taylor says maybe, but there's only one way to find out.

Immediately after, Mark shouts for the Team, putting the two on alert. They both jump up, as Cody races to his room to get clothes on, and Taylor runs to the living room. Getting there, Mark tells the group that they're being surrounded by S.W.A.T. and NYPD, referencing what he saw, adding that he saw for sure a sniper across the street windows. Suddenly, the door into the suite shakes, as the camera cuts to a battering ram being used to hit the door by the S.W.A.T. The door comes bursting down, as S.W.A.T enters the suite, weapons aimed at the Team. Rashard grabs onto Ferrari, absorbing her ability temporarily, as Mark grabs his rifle and begins shooting at the S.W.A.T. The S.W.A.T. begin shooting back, as Queen Bee jumps from the side, taking out two soldiers by knocking them out. Cody appears from the hallway, instantly freezing some of the S.W.A.T. Tyler looks over as he sees the snipers shooting at the team from across the street, making Tyler use his heat vision at them, shattering the windows of that building's floor. Mark shouts that they have to leave, as Rashard warns that Jada went downstairs and Lincoln is missing. Mark tells Rashard to go, which he releculantly does with Ferrari's superspeed that he absorbed. Ferrari begins running away again, accidently dropping her phone, as Cody freezes his way out of a window, creating an ice bridge to the ground, where he starts to run with Taylor, who has joined him. Mark Tenison and Queen Bee grab onto each other, as Mark Tenison grabs a grabbling gun and jumps off the balcony towards the ground. Using the gun, he shoots into another window, grabbing onto a support beam and keeping them from falling to their deaths. They climb the rope till they reach the floor, and proceed to run out of the room they broke into.
As Ferrari continues running, she looks to her side to see another blur running next to her before in a flash of light, the blur disappears. Stopping at Times Square, she looks around for a moment, then keeps on running, taking a woman’s cell phone in the process. Back at the suite, Hassan Tanveer walks down a hall, breaking into a room to point his gun at Lincoln Maxwell, who was trying to hide. Lincoln is taken into a S.W.A.T van, sitting next to a chained up Jada, before the car drives away.

Mig is resting in his hospital bed, when he gets a phone call. Picking up a cell phone, he answers it as Ferrari is sitting in a bench in Central Park. She warns them that the government is coming after them, and that they're most likely going to go for Mig as well. She tells him that she's being followed and might not make it in time to help him, so he needs to do what he can to get out. Immediately hanging up, Ferrari vibrates the phone with her hand, shattering it, before speeding away.

It cuts to a S.W.A.T. van arriving at the enterance of the hospital, bursting in, and an officer demanding to know the location of Miguel Rivers. As they begin climbing up the stairs and running down the halls, Mig begins to take out the wires he's connected to. The S.W.A.T. officer looks at a floor numer and shouts "This is the floor" to his fellow men. They begin to slow down, quietely creeping towards a single door. Mig falls out of his bed, trying to stand up correctly. He takes a few steps, and starts to manage through the pain. He looks through the window to see a nearby alleyway, and begins to close his eyes, as the officers reach the door. Counting with fingers, a S.W.A.T. officer counts to 0, breaks down the door, and allows his fellow men to get in. When they get win, they find Mig isn't there. It cuts to the alleyway, with Mig in a hospital outfit, running away.

Taylor is with Cody, as Cody explains that O.R.I.O.N. has fled to the Dark Web in order to hide from the military, but he'll try to access traffic camera footage and building camera footage to figure out what is happening. This is when Taylor's phone calls. Cody tells her to not answer it as it could be dangerous, but Taylor does so anyway. It's Tyler. Tyler explains that he's found out about something that happened, something that could be blamed on him. He promises through he didn't commit the crime, and that he's been framed for the explosion. Taylor realizes its the Shapeshifter she encountered in the last episode, and tells Tyler and Cody about her encounter last episode. Tyler says that they'll have a discussion about that later, but they need to get safe. Suddenly, a S.W.A.T. van appears, forcing Taylor to hang up. Cody tells Taylor that with the increasing tempature, he's losing control of his ability to create ice. S.W.A.T. officers get out of the van and prepare to aim and fire their weapons, when Taylor grabs onto Cody and flies the two of them away.

Rashard watches the news talk about the chaos that has erupted in Manhattan, citing an increased military presence, and shows footage of Lincoln and Jada being taken away. Mark appears, revealing that he was lucky enough to get a tracker on the van, so they know exactly where Jada and Lincoln are. Queen Bee asks that their plan of attack is. Rashard explains that their plan is to get in, break some bones, free Lincoln and Jada, and then reunite the team, and learn who framed Tyler, and why the entire Team is under attack.

#### Act II

Taylor is flying in the sky with Cody, as a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk (a type of plane, google it) flies towards Manhattan. The pilot in it locks on Taylor, is forced to fly towards Brookyln, being shot at near the Brookyln Bridge. Cody manages to generate a small amount of ice, freezing the plane enough to make it crash into the ocean. Taylor lands in the middle of a street in Brooklyn, quickly running to the side to avoid oncoming traffic. Taylor and Cody begin discussing how to reunite with the rest of the team, as Taylor points out that Ferrari most likely has found Mig or is in the process of finding him. Cody explains that he needs to get to a computer in order to get to O.R.I.O.N. and begin going through footage to figure out who caused the explosion Tyler is being framed for. Looking over, across the street they see a Best Buy (the address they're at is around the intersection of S Portland Avenue and Altantic Avenue in Brooklyn). Taylor smiles and says that wont' be a problem.

The next scene shows Secretary-General Nicholas Serriv in a video conference with Hassan Tanveer, who is updating Serriv on the hunt for the team. Serriv asks if he has proof of Tyler's attack, to which Tanveer sends Serriv video footage showing Tyler destroying the building and causing it to explode. Serriv sighs, and tells Tanveer to proceed as he needs to. Hassan nods, and ends the call. Cutting to Hassan's side, we learn that Hassan's holding Lincoln and Jada at Rikers Island (google it). Tanveer says that while Lincoln and Jada have no abilities, they're the bait for the other members of the Team, saying that they just have to wait. He then orders that police head out and do survillance using the new police vehicles, as he looks at The Aeteo, now in his possession, which is being scanned.
Tyler is walking fast on the sidewalk, trying to blend in with the crowd. He sees two police cars nearby, as they speed towards him. He begins to walk faster as they begin almost speeding through Manhattan. The top of the police cars open up to reveal advanced machine guns, which proceed to start firing at him. Tyler begins running, using his heat vision to shoot at the car's weapons, accidently hitting other cars in the process. Chaos erupts on the streets, as the police cars chase him across the streets of New York. He enters the Hell Kitchen's area, where the police begin following him. After a moment, they can't find him, when he jumps from a building, having climbed on one, onto a car, alerting the other cars. The other cars start shooting at the police car, causing the officer to have to jump out, and making it explode. Tyler repeats this once more, before directly using heat vision on the third. He begins to run once more as the officers continue to chase him. He enters a bookstore, trying to blend into the crowd. Noticing a line quickly filling up, he jumps in an attempt to hide. The officers enter the bookstore, looking around for a moment, before running past him towards a door that says Emergency Exit. Taking a breath, he realizes the line is over, as he looks at the man before him in what appears to be a book signing for an author. Looking at the man, he realizes the man is the author, an adult male with black hair and brown eyes. Tyler looks in shock.

Side Note: Because this is too good, I wrote the scene myself.

[Tyler]: Oh my god. You're Sif Hunderson, the author of the Shield of Justice trilogy.

[Sif]: The one and only. Nice to see a fan. Say, weren't you one of those survivors?

[Tyler]: Yeah. I had a small book collection that I used to read back in Europe. They were your books. I read all of your Shield of Justice books, they were literally amazing.

[Sif]: Thank you very much. It looks like you don't have a copy of my latest book, Alienated. Here, I'll let you have one for free.

(Sif pulls out an Alienated book, opening it up, signing his name, and gives it to Tyler)

[Tyler]: Thank you... I... I don't know want to say.

[Sif]: You don't have to say anything, you're welcome.

[Tyler]: Wow... uh. Thanks. You're awesome.

(Tyler leaves the line, as a young teenager walks up with his own copy of Alienated).

[Sif]: Hello, what's your name?

(The teenager hands over the book to Sif, who opens it up and signs it)

[Male Teenager]: It's Victor Roman.

(Sif hands the book back to Victor).

[Sif]: Nice to meet you Victor.

So uh yeah. A Dimension 10 version of Sif as a fictional famous author + references to old Sif shows and a Victor Roman reference for Toon.

Tyler exits the store, looking around, and starts running with his new book once again, trying to hide from the authorities for being blamed for a crime he didn't commit. We cut to Mig, who is dressed in new clothes, entering Central Park. He looks around, looking for any signs that he's being followed, but sees none. Suddenly, a gust of wind is heard, as he turns around to see a tired Ferrari. The two hug, happy to be reunited. Ferrari asks how his leg is doing, and Mig replies that it'll have to deal. Mig tries to lighten the situation by saying the sightseeing might have to wait. Ferrari then reveals that she was lying about being used to New York. She tells him that ever since she arrived in New York, she's had an uneasy feeling that something bad was about to happen, also revealing in the process her vision of the city being destroyed, the lighting hitting the Statue of Liberty, and the woman she saw in that vision. Mig shows his anger, explaining to Ferrari that it's been five months since Franklin's death, and while everyone else on the team has moved on, she hasn't. Mig expresses that he can't keep being in a relationship while the person he cares for ignores him. Ferrari says she hasn't ignored him, but he says she has, and he's tired of it.

Suddenly, Ferrari points at something behind Mig. Mig turns around to see a black-shadow like humanoid vibrating, greeting them by their first names. Mig asks what he is, and the humanoid identifies himself as "The Shapeshifter". The humanoid then shifts into the form of Mig, smirking in the process. The Shapeshifter shoots an energy beam using Mig's ability at them, Ferrari grabbing Mig and dodging the beam for both of them. Mig is shocked that the Shapeshifter can do that, as the two take on the Shapeshifter, who is in the form of Mig. The two fight the Shapeshifter, as the battle begins devestating the park. Mig grabs onto the Shapeshifter, teleporting them out of the park, as Ferrari finds them. Mig and the Shapeshifter do single combat, the two of them fighting each other using Mig's abilities, causing cars to be smashed and buildings to be damaged in the process. The Shapeshifter gains the upper hand, knocking Mig down by transforming into a different metahuman. Ferrari looks in horror, as the Shapeshifter goes from Miguel Rivers to Franklin Lane, grinning evily at her. Reculantly, she speeds towards him, as the Shapeshifter uses Franklin Lane's electric abilities to shock her down. Ferrari tries again, managing to get a few punches in, before the Shapeshifter grabs her wrist and twists it. Screaming in pain, Ferrari punches the Shapeshifter in the face, knocking him down. Looking at the shapeshifter's Franklin face, memories of Franklin moments before his death are triggered, making her lose focus. Taking advantage of this, the Shapeshifter lets out a massive series of electrical strikes that strike everything from Ferrari to inoccent civilians, to cars, plants, buildings, glass windows, etc. (The best visual aid I can give is the destruction of Times Square in this clip ). The Shapeshifter begins shooting electricity at everything, making chunks of buildings come down, killing people. Two police cars arrive, officers exiting and firing their bullets at the Shapeshifter, who turns to face them, and electrocutes them. Looking at his destruction, he fails to notice Ferrari racing towards him, knocking him down onto the ground. She grabs a barely awake Mig, and begins running away. The Shapeshifter gets up, looks around at the chaos around him, and walks over as a police officer to the police cars. Reaching them, one of the radios starts playing, as an officer on the radio reveals they've found two metahumans at a Best Buy in Brooklyn, and need immediately back up. The Shapeshifter grins at this.

Back in Brooklyn's Best Buy, Taylor and Cody are at a computer pretending to test it out, as they access the internet and Cody begins accessing the Deep Web. Taylor notices an employee heading their way, and Cody changes the screen to a list of top 10 vacation ideas. The employee asks how they are doing, and hence this scene takes place:

[Taylor]: Well sir, we're having a bit of trouble. You see, my boyfriend and I are looking for a new place to spend our vacation time at, but we can't think of anything good.

[Employee]: I'm sure I can help. What kind of place are you thinking of?

[Taylor]: Well somewhere nice, somewhere warm...

(Cody jabs her in the side)

[Taylor]: Sorry, I mean somewhere cool, not as accessible to the outside world, that kind of place.

[Employee]: I see. You just want alone time with each other, not having to deal with the rest of the crazy couples.

[Taylor]: Exactly! See honey, he ges it.

[Cody]: Uh-Huh.

[Employee]: Well, I'd suggest somewhere North, maybe Maine? I actually lived in a town in Maine, it was kind of odd now that I think about it. But they have really nice cabins, and its far away from the distractions of a social media world.

[Taylor]: Thank you so much sir. I wasn't sure how long we'd be on this thing looking for good options.

[Employee]: You really aren't supposed to be on, but you seem so nice I'll just let you guys slide this time. Take your time looking around, you can even keep using this one. I'll just be nearby if you need anything. I'll let you two look at some of this awesome devices.

(the employee leaves as Cody laughs)

[Cody]: Boyfriend?

[Taylor]: I had to make a story up fast, I didn't realize you had a probl-

[Cody]: No, it's fine. I liked playing the role of the boyfriend, even it was for 52 seconds.

Cody continues to try and enter the dark web, eventually contacting O.R.I.O.N. who he contacts using his earpiece. O.R.I.O.N. gives an update that he's been trying to access traffic cameras, but he seems to be having a hard time doing so, as all the cameras are encrypted with a key word made up of five letters. Cody suggests Apple, and O.R.I.O.N. informs him that he was correct, telling Cody how brilliant he is. He tells Cody he'll be looking through the footage, as Taylor says "Apple?". Cody says "Well this is The Big Apple, after all. Plus, cops are stupid like that". Suddenly, a voice says "Taylor". They look over to see Mig, tired. Taylor walks over to Mig, shocked, asking how he found them. Mig says that he didn't mean to find them, he just was trying to get away from the authorities. Asking them what they're doing, Cody warns to Taylor that Mig isn't talking like he usually does. Suddenly, Mig shifts into the black shadow humanoid, vibrating and facing Taylor, as The Shapeshifter greets Taylor. Taylor takes two steps back, as Cody says "So this is the man you were talking about". Taylor says "Yeah. The man who killed my father". The entire store begins to empty as the people in the store run away in fear. The Shapeshifter tells Taylor, who he refers to as Tralior, that he had a reason to kill her father, stating that just like him, he didn't belong. He says "You are not meant to be here", and exclaims that he will do what he failed to do eariler, and kill her. Cody jumps forward, using his ice abilities in the Air-conditioned building, trying to fight the Shapeshifter, who transforms into T-Y, shooting heat vision while flying upwards. As Cody fights the Shapeshifter, Taylor runs to the side, exiting the building, and running into Tyler. When Tyler asks what she's doing here, Cody is thrown through the door, crashing onto the ground. Tyler, worried, grabs Taylor and starts to pull her away, as The Shapeshifter exits the building and starts to beat up Cody using T-Y's abilities. Pulling Taylor away, Tyler tries to get her to calm down, and tell him everything she knows about the Shapeshifter. Cody is lifted and thrown across the street, hitting the pavement once more. At that point, police and military vehicles arrive on the scene. As Cody lies on the ground, a soldier walks up to him and drags him to a van, telling that General Tanveer has ordered the use of a person known as "The Asset". The van opens up, as Cody begins to show conciousness. Looking in the van, he says "That's impossible...."
Taylor and Tyler are in an alleyway, as Taylor tells him about how she encountered the Shapeshifter last night, that she knows it's a male, and that the reason why she thought the killer of her father was Bryan was because the Shapeshifter became him. She then notices the book he has, and he explains its a long story, when they start hearing gunfire and screams. Tyler and Taylor slowly creep out of the alley to see Cody, machine gun in hand, shooting at people. At this point, Cody is extremely sweaty and tired. Taylor comes into plain sight of him, making Tyler join her. Taylor screams at him to stop, but Cody refuses to, exclaiming that everyone has seen him as the villain he was, but now he's done playing the part of the hero. If no one will accept him as a hero, he'll just be the monster everyone thinks he is. He fires at Taylor, but Tyler shoots his heat vision at Cody, destroying the gun and knocking Cody down, burning him on the side. As the camera moves over to Cody, breathing really hard and heavy, sweating like crazy, his eyes begin to turn an ice blue. While Taylor and Tyler look at Cody, they see him scream a disturbing roar, as his entire body begins freezing up quickly. After his entire body is frozen, ice begins to form around him, creating a shell-like ice barrier around his body. Tyler and Taylor look, confused, as the ice remains normal for a moment.

Suddenly, the ground shakes in a single shock. Then another. The ice begins to crack. As Tyler and Taylor begin to step back, the ice barrier shatters into a million ice pieces, as a massive ice-like humanoid bursts out, roaring in anger. http://www.comicsrecommended.com/images/longform/artifacts-1-ice.jpg This "ice giant" looks at Tyler and Taylor, who realize it's Cody, with Tyler making the remark "Well... that's new". Taylor realizes that after being beaten down by both the extreme heat and the enemies, he reached a critical point in his ability that allowed him to become the ice giant. Tyler and Taylor look at each other, and nod, Tyler taking out the device that allows them to merge once more into T-Y. T-Y faces Cody as the ice giant, as Cody begins charging at T-Y. T-Y begins charging at him, T-Y shooting heat vision flying towards Cody and Cody shooting ice from his mouth, the two beams colliding as the metahumans clash. The two collide, sending T-Y flying backwards, able to stop from hitting the ground, as the Shapeshifter watches from above a building, stating that it's time for some civilian casualities. He transforms into Mig, and starts shooting energy beams at Cody, enraging him, as Cody jumps onto the building, shattering the side and causing massive damage as he reaches the Shapeshifter. The energy beams stop as the Shapeshifter becomes T-Y to avoid Cody, flying away towards Manhattan. The real T-Y looks as they realize the Shapeshifter is purposefully drawing Cody to Manhattan to cause even more devestation. The real T-Y begins flying towards Manhattan immediately, leaving Brooklyn. Cody is found chasing the Shapeshifter on the Brooklyn Bridge, tossing over cars into the river. A news helicopter begins reporting this, showing news footage of a ice blue monster attacking a woman who can fly (Shapeshifter as T-Y and Cody). Mig and Ferrari are in the street passing by a resturant when they see this on the news. Mig looks at Ferrari, and tells her that they need to get near the Brooklyn Bridge immediately.

Cody and the Shapeshifter reach Manhattan, as the Shapeshifter challenges him to hit him with everything he's got. Cody grabs a car and throws it at the Shapeshifter, who dodges, allowing the car to crash into civilians. Cody charges at the Shapeshifter, shooting his ice beam in the process. The shapeshifter becomes Franklin Lane, shooting electricity at the ice, shattering it into many pieces that he sends upwards in the air. The ice chunks begin coming down, raining like hail, as they strike running civilians in the head, killing them. A shot of NYPD cars heading towards that part of New York is shown, as a blur is shown also heading towards the same direction. The real T-Y is flying towards the battle, shooting heat vision at the Shapeshifter, in an attempt to stop him. The Shapeshifter, realizing that now T-Y and Cody are on him, transforms into Ferrari and leaves, leaving Cody to look at T-Y. The two begin fighting, as T-Y tries talking Cody out of his trance. T-Y goes for a head-on attack, heat vision striking Cody in the chest (he's still the ice giant), as he punches him, knocking him down to the pavement, as T-Y tries to use the heat vision to push Cody into and through the concrete. Cody manages to kick T-Y away, who crashes into an oil tanker that explodes, shattering store windows in the process. Police cars arrive and S.W.A.T. begins shooting at Cody and T-Y. Hassan Tanveer shows himself, ordering heavy fire on both from three Lockheed F-117 Nighthawks, that are flying from New Jersey airspace towards NYC.

Cody charges at T-Y, angry as T-Y knocks him over into a OmniCorp truck (easter egg for Jack). T-Y starts flying towards the truck, when Cody grabs T-Y and throws him towards a building. T-Y fies into the window, crashing on the floor, as Cody jumps right into the building, and begins running after T-Y. T-Y is being chased after Cody, who is destroying everything around him, as Cody blasts T-Y through another window onto another street. T-Y almost hits the ground, barely stopping, and starts to fly when Cody crashes onto a car, crushing a person. Cody charges at T-Y, who tries to manuever away, but Cody grabs T-Y, and begins climbing up a tall skyscraper with his one available hand, squeezing T-Y with the other. After a moment of doing this, T-Y heat visions his way out of the hand, flying away as Cody tries to jump after them, but T-Y shoots once more, making Cody fall hundreds of feet to the ground, creating a massive crater in the middle of the street. Tanveer, watching this, tells his men to retreat for now, and help civilians, disappointed. T-Y, watching Cody struggle to get up, decides to go down. Landing on the road near Cody, T-Y separates to Tyler and Taylor, as Taylor runs up to Cody. Cody as the ice giant gets up, his eyes more normal now then they were before. He looks over to see Taylor, who lowers her body, emotionally stating Cody's name, as if to trigger something inside Cody. She lifts her hand at him, her palm facing Cody, who proceeds to the same, calmer now. Turning her hand over, Cody turns his hand over as well, letting her feel Cody's ice cold hand, but Taylor doesn't flinch from the coldness. Instead, her attention is on Cody's eyes. She begins holding his hand, touching it, as if to say everything's okay. Cody, taking slow deep breaths, begins to crack a smile, all the while Tyler looks in disbelief. Cody steps back, as the ice begins to melt away. Cody falls to the ground, his knees down as the ice melts away to leave only the main man himself. Cody, back to normal, begins to fall completely to the ground, but Taylor stops him, making him land on her instead, holding him. It's at this point that Cody, in a tired voice, says "You like me", admiting it for the first time. Taylor looks at him, and says "I like you". Cody laughs for a moment, before closing his eyes. Tyler suddenly hears a gust of wind as Ferrari arrives with Mig in tow, both ready to use their superpower abilities. Tyler is hesitate at first, but after a quick discussion, Tyler comes to the conclusion they're the real deal. Mig asks if Cody is alright, and Taylor, smiling, says that he'll be fine, just tired.
On Riker's Island, Hassan Tanveer asks a soldier if "The Asset" is locked up again, and the soldier says yes. Tanveer goes to his private office, trying to call the United Nations to have a video chat with Sectretary-General Nicholas Serriv. A woman on the other line says that Serriv is too busy at the moment, having left the United Nations to attend to other matters of his immediate concern, stating that he is a very busy man. Tanveer ends the call. In a cell, we see Lincoln and Jada sitting across from each other on two differnt beds, alone. Jada asks if Lincoln thinks that Rashard will find them, and Lincoln says that knowing Rashard, he most likely will. Jada says that she's nervous, because she doesn't stand what's going on or why. Lincoln asks if she's concerned for Rashard, and she says yes, saying that she feels different about him then the others, but isn't sure why. Lincoln says that even he understands what she's feeling, and that when the time comes, she'll understand. Suddenly, an explosion rocks the place, as gunfire is heard. As the two of them get up, a soldier comes to the door to stand guard, when they're knocked down by Rashard. Both are glad to see him, as Rashard uses his material absorbed to break the cell door handle, allowing them to escape. Rashard tells Mark to lead Jada and Lincoln out of Riker's Island, while Bee will go to Tanveer's office to find out what his deal is, and Rashard is going to go free the "Asset" they keep mentioning. They separate as Mark tells Lincoln and Jada to follow him, Mark holding multiple guns in a belt and pockets, a large gun in his hand.

It cuts to Bee breaking into Tanveer's office, with Tanveer not in there. She begins searching the place. After some searching, she finds a file labeled "Orders". Opening it up, she finds a letter written from none other.... than The Director. The letter reveals that The Director was able to get some G.R.I.D. people in the Americas, and after convincing Tanveer via large bribe, Tanveer became a mole in the United Nations military for G.R.I.D., to gather intel on the United Nations and Nicholas Serriv. Bee tells Rashard all of this on the com-link, as Rashard says he's near the Asset. Reaching a room numbered 1211, he takes out a special key with that same number on it, saying to himself how the soldier holding the key should have been more aware of his surroundings. Rashard puts the key in the door, unlocking it, and opening it up. As he looks inside, his face becomes one of a shocked expression. Rashard says "This isn't impossible... it can't be... ".

Stepping into the light of the hallway, the Asset reveals herself to be none other than Rashard's former enemy, the one and only former assistant director of G.R.I.D., Regina, who happy and smirking, says "Miss Me?".

#### Act III

Rashard is standing in front of a very-much alive Regina, in disbelief. It goes along the lines of this:

Rash: You…. you died. You’re not here.

Regina: I am Rashard, whether you’re happy to see me or not. I’ve been alive for almost forty years, it’s just these last few months have been almost fatal, I suppose.

Rash: How is any of this possible? The Director killed you… he… he stabbed you in the chest.

Regina: And thank god he did. I was barely alive, when you took out Project Meta. (insert flashback from The Director: Conclusion). Lucy, in the chaos, took my body, and escaped from England. You see, she wanted me to suffer at her hands, not The Director’s. Not Jonathan’s…. own twisted hands, but her own. To get her revenge for all those years we fought, all those years she hated me because I was favored. By our father, by the Director… by even my first love (Note: This is actually a plot thread that is brought up in Trinity Season One, and just to clarify so you aren't confused, The Director is not her first love or her dad). When I woke, I found myself in what appeared to be Scandinavia. Lucy had debated whether to kill me or not, and taking advantage of this situation, I convinced her truly, without even using my abilities, to make her see the world as I saw it. A world that had changed.

Rash: A Brave New World, created by The Event. An Event that I caused.

Regina: Yes, in a way. But had Project Trident not been started by The Director and his (nods her heads, thinking for a moment the right word)… associates, it would never have happened. If I had never joined Project Trident, none of this would have happened. I would never have joined if it hadn’t been for my father. Our father. I showed Lucy the way, without making her comply. It was truly a moment to remember. Both of his daughters coming to the conclusion that he was to blame. It just saved my life, and from there, I healed. I heard about Fort Bard’s attack and the Battle of Berlin (Now to just help you understand, this is an event that has taken place during the time period of Season Two but not been shown on-screen yet. It will be shown in a future episode). But G.R.I.D. was too close, so we fled to the Americas, where I was taken, and Lucy escaped. (looks down, disappointed). In a moment of stupidity, I forgot a crucial detail: one of the three, one of the Director’s friends had a large amount of power here in the States. So I was taken, questioned, examined, and even tortured for information about you. About Mig, Ferrari, Franklin, T-Y, Cody, and so on. I became an asset, until you came to free me.

Rash: Who said I would free you?

Regina: Because whether you like it or not Rashard, you’re a hero. You’re going to save me, and let me go.

Rash: You can’t control me, those cuffs of yours are keeping you from doing that.

Regina: I don’t need my powers, I just know you’ll make the right choice Rashard.

(A loud explosion is heard, as gunfire echoes in the halls)

Regina: Of course, you might want to make your decision soon.

It cuts to what appears to be a closet room, showing an arm handcuffed to a pipe in the room, before a second person, the vibrating Shapeshifter, shuts the door and continues on his way.

United Nations soldiers are running with their weapons, coming upon Queen Bee, who they aim their weapons at. She raises their hand, shouting that she is not a metahuman. As they come closer to her, she kicks one of the soldiers in the gut, and knocks him down, taking his gun and shooting in the leg and shoulders several soldiers, while grabbing two and forcing them to head-butt each other, and using a baton to wipe out three about to shoot her. Soldiers run down the hall towards her, as she presses a red button on a small robotic panel on her suit. This turns on the small metallic container bracelet on her right arm, opening up to reveal dozens of small miniature bees that sting the soldiers, knocking them out. After all of this, she says “But I don’t need to be one”, referring to how she doesn’t need to be a metahuman to be a badass.

Rashard and Regina exit the room, when they are confronted by the Shapeshifter. Rashard tells Regina to run, but the Shapeshifter presses a button on a small pocket device, causing her to gasp as she tightens her body up, before falling to the ground. He says that they injected a paralyser inside her, in order to prevent her from escaping. Rashard fights the Shapeshifter, as Rashard asks him to show who he really is, and to stop acting like a coward, hiding behind other people's identites. The Shapeshifter agrees, and becomes Hassan Tanveer, revealing he is the Shapeshifter. Tanveer presses another button on the device he used on Regina, shocking her into movement. Tanveer tells Regina that "Complicance will be rewarded", and Regina looks at Rashard. The cuffs stop glowing their green light, and glow a red light, as Regina says "I'm sorry Rashard, I wish I didn't have to do this, but I need to make you comply". She flickers her hand in his face, Rashard's eyes glowing pink, signalling her control over his mind, similar to Cody's eyes eariler. Tanveer orders her to make him comply to him, and Regina says so after seeing soldiers aim a gun at her head. She orders Rashard to listen to Tanveer, as Tanveer presses the device, making the cuffs come back on. Tanveer tells the soldier to take his asset back to her cell, and tells Rashard he has a job for him.

Regina is being taken away, when Queen Bee strikes, knocking them down. Regina's cuffs are removed, as she runs for the exit. Queen Bee hears from the speakers the voice of O.R.I.O.N. who alerts Queen Bee to the location of Mig, Ferrari, Jada, Lincoln, Taylor, Tyler, Mark, and Cody, who have reunited.

The entire team minus Rashard reunites and get the Aeteo back. Taylor reveals the Shapeshifter is the one who killed Bryan Hans to everyone, and is the man who killed her father. Rashard then arrives, and reveals that the Shapeshifter is Hassan Tanveer, who has ordered Rashard to make Mig suffer.

Mig vs Rashard!!!! (Side Note: Rashard has T-Y abilities for part of it, followed by Mig abilities). The battle causes massive devestation on the streets. A scene shows it's being broadcast on Times Square, and in all of New York, revealing the existance of Metahumans. During the fighting, Cody is connecting with O.R.I.O.N. who reveals he is pulling up all of the camera footage he's found that's relevant at the moment. Cody begs O.R.I.O.N. to hurry. The two heroes continue to fight for long stretches. Before this point, Rashard had been flying and shooting heat vision like T-Y, getting hit by energy blasts that cause his heat vision to crash into buildings, causing them to shatter, collaspe, etc. Rashard grabs Mig, lifting him into the air, and starts to throw him at windows, grabbing him immedidately after impacting each window and flying back to repeat the same thing. Mig, in retalation, shoots Rashard through the glass into a building floor. Rashard crashes onto the floor, as Mig grabs onto the edge of the window, barely holding on. He lifts himself up onto the floor, facing Rashard, who gets up as well, angry. His eyes begin glowing red, as a POV shot of Rashard's senses acting odd are affecting him. Unable to stop, he shoots heat vision in every direction, unable to control it. Mig is almost hit, but drops the floor just in time. Rashard manages to stop, as the building's support columns shatter, making the building collaspe on itself. Rashard starts running towards the window, as Mig grabs onto him, the two of them jumping out of the building as it falls upon itself.

Civilians nearby watch as Mig shoots a beam directly at Rashard's back, making the two crash into the pavement of the main road. Rashard grabs onto Mig, absorbing his ability, as he kicks Mig a few yards away. Mig falls to the ground, as the two begin to get up. Rashard shoots an extended energy beam at Mig, who proceeds to do the same. The two collide, neither one overpowering the other. Rashard begins running forward, increasing the intensity of the beam with each step forward he takes. Mig proceeds to do the same, as the two run towards each other. As they reach other, both create a fist with their other hand, their fists colliding at the same time. A huge explosion occurs, knocking Rashard into a car with an elderly man in it. Rashard grabs the car and throws it at Mig, who dodges as the car explodes. Rashard begin to throw cars and other objects at Mig, who blasts them away with his abilities. A cut-away of civilians watching across the country show their reactions to the battle, as Mig shoots an empty car towards Rashard. Rashard grabs it, and throws it, not seeing Mig run up to him. Mig grabs onto Rashard, telling him "Bet you forgot the other ability I have", the two of them suddenly teleporting. They arrive at Wall Street, with Mig throwing Rashard into the NY Stock Exchange. Rashard and Mig continue to share blows, until Rashard manages to strike Mig down. As Mig tries to get up, Rashard kicks Mig down and stands on him, telling him that although Tanveer told him not to kill Mig, he says that he deserves a prize, and prepares to kill Mig.

Suddenly, Rashard is knocked over by a powerful blast. Mig looks up at the sunny sky to see what appears to be an angel. As this "angel" lowers, the angel is revealed to be none other then Castiel himself. Mig is suprised to see his brother, as Castiel greets him. Rashard tries to attack him, but Castiel begins fighting him. He reveals that he has a new trick he’s learned via his ability: to steal and manipulate the radionuclides from objects and/or people into powerful blasts. Touching objects lying all around, he gathers large spheres of scarlet energy and uses them to fight Rashard. After some more fighting, which is being broadcast on Times Square, Castiel defeats Rashard, snapping Rashard out of the mind control.

Side Note:

Here’s the basic science behind Castiel's trick: A radionuclide is a nuclide (a distinct kind of atom or nucleus characterized by a specific number of protons and neutrons) that is radioactive. Now, radionuclides are in EVERY chemical element known, and everything in the universe is made up of these elements. They can be the rocks that we step on, the air that we breathe in, or they can be lifeforms, like animals, plants, or even humans. Thus, all humans and all objects contain radionuclides, as EVERTYHING that actually exists in the real-world is made up of the real-world, present-day elements of the periodic table. To make it simple for you, he can take the natural nuclear energy on the atomic level of existence from anything, and manipulate it into what he needs. It’s a really cool idea, right? :P

At that moment. O.R.I.O.N. tells Cody that he's ready, and Cody tells him to do it. O.R.I.O.N. cuts to camera footage of Tanveer talking to Rashard, monologuing about how he purposefully framed the Team in order to reveal their powers, in order to show the world what they really are, to show that they aren't gods, but monsters. Footage shows Tanveer becoming Tyler and causing the explosion. Footage also shows Tanveer entering the NYPD the night of Bryan Han's death, before shapeshifting into Taylor, leading to Hans' death. Inside an apartment, Adam Tanveer watches in shock with his mother. O.R.I.O.N. then makes a live feed of a traffic camera pointed at Cody, who tells the world that yes, metahumans exist, telling them about the truth about The Event (mentioning Project Trident, a man named "The Director", and their association with it), and telling them about experiences they've faced (they don't bring up G.R.I.D. however, which is important for later on in the season). They say that yes, they're powerful, but they truly mean no harm. They just want a new home. A chance to live normal lives. And if they can't have that, then they want the chance to be accepted as heroes, not gods, and not monsters. The public is shocked by the recent turn of events.

It cuts to a street. Regina is running away, when she sees a man parallel parking his car. She runs up to him, asking for help, and when he is distracted, she grabs a broken piece of glass from one of the damaged buildings, and stabs him with it. Dropping him to the ground, she takes his phone, wallet, and keys, gets into his car, and begins driving away towards a sign that says "Brookyln Bridge". It then cuts to the closet room, with the handcuff on the pipe broken, and bloody footsteps out of it. Walking down the hall is an injured and bloody Hassan Tanveer, angry, as he picks up a dead soldier's gun, loading it with fresh bullets.

It cuts to the team as Castiel helps Rashard up, who says he has a broken rib. Tanveer shows up, less bloody and injured-looking as before, without the gun, telling the Team that they've truly made a show out of this. Looking at the camera, he says that they're giving the word its ultimate face off ever. Tanveer says that the battle has not been won, as the Team begins to fight him together. He begins to rapidly shift from Cody to Mig to Tyler to Ferrari, adapting to the different attacks. He continues fighting them as Lincoln looks over at a dead officer's assault rifle. He picks up, and starts shooting at the Shapeshifter. In retalation, the Shapeshifter as Mig shoots an energy beam at the ground, making it explode and sending Lincoln into the windshield of the car. Rashard goes towards his dad to see if he's okay, and Lincoln, trying to talk through the pain of glass stabbing him, points to Jada and the Aeteo, asking him to take them away without him. Rashard tells Lincoln that in the few months they've been together, Rashard feels like he's finally started to open up, like he's finally been allowed to be normal, to be not a metahuman, but just... human again. Lincoln begs him to take the girl he loves and the dangerous Aeteo from Tanveer, to go to the Hudson River docks, and leave before its too late. After hestiating, Rashard agrees, taking the Aeteo and telling Jada to get into a car. Rashard breaks into it, hotwiring the car before driving away without Lincoln, who watches the car drive away.

Cody and Taylor work together on fighting the Shapeshifter, doing combo moves with each other. Cody is grabbed by the Shapeshifter as Ferrari, and thrown to Taylor, knocking her over. Taylor asks if there's been something he's been meaning to tell her (referring their initial scene at the bathroom in the episode), as Cody says "hell yes", embracing her in a kiss as an explosion caused by a combo-move of Mig and Castiel on The Shapeshifter occurs in the background. Cody stops as he looks up to see a skyscraper beginning to come down. Cody tells Taylor to fly, and she grabs him and prevents them from being crushed. A police car heads towards the direction Rashard and Jada are going.

Ferrari, watching The Shapeshifter still taking them down, tells Queen Bee that she has an idea. Queen Bee welcomes her to do whatever she wants, as Mig falls to the ground, knocked out. Ferrari runs away from the battle, counting the number of miles, as she reaches 5.3 miles. The Shapeshifter, as she runs, notes that he thinks he knows her plan. Turning around, she begins running, attempting to go supersonic in order to give a supersonic punch. As she is withing a few yards away, The Shapeshifter transforms into Ferrari and dodges just in time. The punch not working, Ferrari finds herself still running, as her legs begin violently vibrating. She begins to turn around back towards the Shapeshifter, as her legs stop moving all together, and her body is lifted upwards into the air. http://prntscr.com/7rmd21 Her own speed is literally lifting her upwards and carrying her forward. The speed begins increasing as Ferrari finds her legs aren't even moving, the speed going faster as she panics that her body is not on the ground, just about half a foot above it. As she gets right in front of Queen Bee (in Queen Bee's POV, going from right to left), Ferrari  starts screaming as a bright light appears around her, and then…. She’s gone. Everyone still around and awake, including the Shapeshifter, are shocked, as the Shapeshifter looks at himself as Ferrari and around. After a moment, he says that he feels the job is done, and as Ferrari speeds away. The team look in shock, looking around for any sign of the real Ferrari... but there is none.

Jada and Rashard arrive at the Hudson River docks, exiting the car, as Jada holds the Aeteo. They pay to rent a boat, as they reach the end of the dock. The dock has the boat on the right, with the river's water forward and to the left. There's a single metal pole that has a taped paper of the rules for renting a boat on the upper left corner of the dock as well. Rashard tells Jada that they are going to be safe, as Jada tells Rashard she has to admit something. She reveals that ever since she met him in France, she's felt something inside, but she hasn't been sure what it was. She asks if she knows what she means, and he says that he does, saying that since that day he's also felt different as well, espically when with her. He says that besides Lincoln, she's the one person who has made him laugh and smile more then any other. Jada then says that while captive today, she realized what it was. She realized that she had feelings for him. Rashard, in a rare but emotional state, grabs Jada, who drops the Aeteo to the dock's wooden floor, and kisses her. After he stops, she initates a second kiss, when they hear the click of a gun. Turning to the side, they see the injured and bloody Hassan Tanveer with the gun that he took from the soldier, confronting them. He shouts that metahumans have now ruined his life, and now he's going to ruin theirs. Aiming his gun at them, Rashard goes to reach for the pole to absorb the material, when Hassan fires. Rashard stops, not touching the pole, as he straightens his body, breathening heavily as Jada looks in horror. Just exactly like in Jada's nightmare from the previous episode, as Jada flashbacks back to the nightmare, Rashard looks down to see he's been shot in the left side of his lower chest. http://prntscr.com/7o0s0r Rashard, seeing the wound bleeding out into his suit, looks up at Jada as the camera goes from his face to the wound as he looks at it to going back up to his face after he lifts his head up. Falling towards the left side, Jada screams "No!", just like in the nightmare, as Rashard falls into the river. Jada falls onto the deck, trying to reach for Rashard, as Rashard begins sinking to the bottom of the river. Jada, realizing her nightmare has come true, begins to cry.

Hassan, not even showing any emotion but digust, aims his gun at Jada and tells her to get up. She stands up, tears in her eyes, as Hassan tells her that she's coming him. He throws the Aeteo to the passenger's seat of the police car that was shown eariler, as Jada is in the backseat, and he gets in the driver's seat, telling NYPD he's delivering a criminal to them. Jada sits in the back, reflecting on memories of her and Rashard, including this morning at breakfast. Hassan turns over to check on her, telling her that Rashard was a son of a bitch who deserved to day. Facing the road once more, he sees the Shapeshifter (in is black shadow-like humanoid form, which is how he appears most of the time to protect his identity when he isn't pretending to be anyone), becoming Mig. The Shapeshifter shoots an energy beam at the car, flipping it over him, crashing onto the street. Jada finds the door is unlocked, climbing out, trying to stand up, as she sees the Aeteo. She grabs it, and begins to slowly but surely walk and then eventually run away towards the edge of Manhattan, towards the water. Hassan Tanveer is struggling to get out, when The Shapeshifter rips off the door of the car and pulls out Tanveer and throws him onto the pavement. Telling Tanveer that he failed him, the Shapeshifter purposefully steps on a leg wound of Tanveer, making him scream in pain.

Jada reaches Battery Park, where she arrives at the shore to see a sign that says "Liberty Island Ferries: Coming Soon", looking to see that a Ferry is already there. She looks over to see the Statue of Liberty, explaiming that no one would dare look there, and she heads to the ferry. It cuts to Hassan Tanveer, now alone once more, injured and not moving his body due to being in great pain. He looks upward to see a flying T-Y and Castiel. As Tanveer asks for help, Castiel punches him in the face, breaking Tanveer's jaw, and knocking him out. They then deliever Tanveer to the NYPD. Mark Tenison goes to Lincoln, who has a medical assitant helping stitch him up, asking where Jada and Rashard went. Lincoln told him to go with the Aeteo. T-Y says that apparently Hassan said he had captured one of them, but whoever was captured fled towards Battery Park. Lincoln expresses his hope that Rashard and Jada are okay, as O.R.I.O.N. informs T-Y and Lincoln that he's beginning scans of the area for her.

It cuts to the Statue of Liberty, which has a ferry already docked on it. The camera moves upwards towards the torch, going through the glass flames to reveal Jada inside the torch room. Jada remarks that no one has been in the torch room since the Black Tom explosion of 1916, so no one would think she would be in there. Taking a moment to breath, her hand begins slipping off the Aeteo, and she goes to reposition it, as she does, she feels part of the Aeteo move. Looking down, she sees she’s pressed what appears to be a hidden flat button on the wheel, which makes the Aeteo glow, as if it was turning on for a moment. Another symbol, what appears to be for a fingerprint or what not, shows up, as Jada, curious, presses her thumb on it. She jumps back after being poked by a small needle from inside the Aeteo, looking at her thumb to see her thumb bleeding out. Looking at the Aeteo, it begins to glow. The triangle sections are lifted upwards, the curved ends being still attached to the Aeteo while the triangle end lifting into the air, the upper tips of the triangles bending towards the center of the Aeteo. The very center of the Aeteo, the circle, turns into a strange fluid like substance, as it divides itself in half, going to small little holes in the inside, and a small device comes out of the center, like a claw. Inside the claw…. Is a Crystal. Jada, in shock, looks at the tips of the triangles and the crystal, as the tips begin to glow a faint blue.

Mig, now awake, is walking around the NYPD, as Queen Bee asks if he's okay. He says he's fine, asking where Ferrari is. Queen Bee hestitates, showing concern on her face, making Mig nervous. He realizes something's wrong, and asks what happened to Ferrari, unaware of her disappearance. It cuts back to inside the torch. The tips of the Aeteo Triangles glow brighter and brighter, as Jada starts to walk backwards in fear, screaming “No… NO… NO!”, as if hoping her screams of fear would stop it, when energy beams from each tip strike the crystal, and the crystal sends out a powerful energy beam at Jada, striking her directly in the chest, making her fall to the ground as it reverts back to its original form. For a moment, she’s motionless, awake but not moving, almost like she’s paralyzed.

As she begins to regain her motion abilities, and is able to start moving once more, the floor begins to crack according to her movements. Slowly, her hands touch the floor, sparking pink and purple sparks, making small cracks in the floor that grow larger with more contact, as she moves her legs, bending them. Each crack that forms as a result of her movement gets bigger, as she bends her knees, standing a little bit, her back leading forward, taking deep breaths, as her head moves upward, eyes looking at the Aeteo as they glow pink or purple.
Finally able to stand up, in a powerful motion, her entire body lifts upward, caused not by her own want or will but a necessary motion, her chest and upper body raising, her head back as her hair flows as far back as they can. Standing almost triumphantly, her entire hands covered in pink and purple energies, as a shockwave of devastatingly powerful energy comes from all around her body, striking the Statue of Liberty’s Torch. The Torch completely shatters, the red and orange glass breaking into twelve million pieces, going in all directions. Looking over, she sees the wave growing faster and faster, hitting Manhattan at an alarming speed. We cut to the wave hitting the ocean, as the Statue of Liberty begins to collapse. The wave hits Manhattan, windows completely shattering, roads being torn apart by orange and purple lighting, bridges buckling and breaking under the sheer force. The camera cuts to Mig and the entire Team being hit by the wave, falling to the ground as all of New York shakes from the sheer velocity of the strike. As they lay or sit on the ground, watching the entire city being devastated in front of their eyes, close-ups of Mig, Taylor, Tyler, Lincoln, Queen Bee, Cody, and Castiel as they look around in horror and confusion. A few entire buildings are destroyed in the blast, skyscrapers collapsing from the force, as the final shots show Jada, tears in her eyes, look down as the floor below her collapses, the final shot of the scene being a far-distanced shot of the Statue of Liberty falling to pieces, becoming more then a large pile of green metal.

Unknown Location – June 1st

[Voice]: Interesting. The events that have unfolded recently have not only introduced the creation of a new metahuman, but revealed new targets of interest, as well as new abilities. Furthermore, although I must admit keeping The Asset a secret, and allowing her to escape was my fault, she did provide us with useful information regarding these heroes. It’s also worth noting the mysterious disappearance of Faith Ferrari, who while missing has not changed things drastically, although living evidence of that was clear enough.

(The camera turns to reveal The Director, giving the unknown voice a glass of champagne. )

[The Director]: Our side of the deal with our partner is at a success. Your abilities have been quite useful recently. However keeping me in the dark about your motives for Hassan, as well as Regina was a major error, which should not occur again I would hope.

(The two turn to face a screen on the wall showing a picture of Hassan Tanveer)

[Unknown Person]: Of course not. Hassan Tanveer was the perfect decoy. They were led to believe that he was the Shapeshifter, and I must say, it was a perfect success. His usefulness, for now, is at an end. He was a great G.R.I.D. agent inside my organization, one of the best soldiers I’ve ever known. He gave me the perfect opportunity to knock him out, and take his form. He is currently being kept in Nevada, and regarding Regina, there is no one else she can turn to.

[The Director]: Not true, her sister still lives. You also forget that there is one man she might try to reunite with.
[Unknown Person]: If she does, that’s a problem we can address later. Besides, G.R.I.D. will certainly be hunting her down, and we are making attempts to meet our possible ally, correct?

(The image of Hassan Tanveer changes to an African man talking to what appears to be a solider next to a grey building)

[The Director]: Correct. His ability is one that is potentially useful for us, if we are to become the most powerful people the world has ever known. If he were to encounter Regina, that might allow us to kill two birds with one stone.

[Unknown Person]: Perhaps, but if she were to use her ability on him, or become allies with some of the new friends we’ve learned exist, that could be disastrous.

(The Unknown Person begins walking towards a large screen blocking the windows, the screen showing a picture of Team Prototype.)

[Unknown Person]: In any case, now that “Team Prototype”, as they call themselves, no longer suspect anyone else to be The Shapeshifter, we can now proceed with our plans.

(The light from the screen reveals the Unknown Person to be The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Nicholas Serriv, who then turns to face The Director.)

[The Director]: And thus another day belongs to our Trinity.
