2 weeks later, as Ivan mourns over his dead wife after a week of the funeral, Ivan sets up a secret meeting with Damien and Anna. They meet at an abandoned facility or warehouse, and they plan on how they're going to win against Erick and his army of criminals and police. Anna doesn't know if she's fully going to help out or not, as she eventually does. Their conversation concludes with Ivan advising Damien that, given Erick's indestructibility and strength, Damien should wear one of Ivan's old suits of gold armor. Later, Caliber (Ivan), Damien going by Nephila, and Drakaina assassinate guards. Caliber and Nephila enter, while Drakaina acts as a scout, keeping an eye on their backs.

Caliber enters the lab, frightening Erick's assistant who just hides behind and under the desk, also clicking an emergency button. Ivan is being watched, but he is unaware. Erick is in an all out battle against Nephila and Caliber. In the end, Erick is down on his knees and exhausted after being tazed and having his gold minerals absorbed by Nephila.

### Instincts

There is a crime scene at the company where Erick was murdered. Along with the cops, Liam and Erick's assistant are present. Erick's assistant informs Liam that she witnessed two individuals prior to Erick's death.

Liam has an instinct for one of the killers despite the fact that he is unaware of their identities and has no footage. Liam obtains Damien's address from one of his militia agents who was assigned to follow him for Erick. Erick just never got the opportunity to use it. Liam directs his agents, men and women, to locate and apprehend Damien.

Later, around noon, Damien and Vincent are visited by Liam's agents, where Damien has a brief exchange with the guard at the door while Vincent is inside, waiting for something to happen. Damien runs through the house and the agents break through. Vincent engages in a shootout where he mercilessly kills most of the agents, who then retreat, but Vincent finds out that Damien is no longer near as he disappeared when the agents retreated.

### The Night of Joey's Birthday 2018

Joey, Ayo and Scarlette are hanging out for Joey's birthday, outside eating at a restaurant.

Joey is super hungry. He eats a lot and is still hungry. Ayo and Scarlette try to tell him to calm down.

Joey frustratingly explains to them that he's "always hungry, never thirsty, and I haven't peed for the last few weeks". And then asks "Aren't people supposed to pea?"

After Ayo and Scarlette have left, Joey just sits there looking at his cup of lemonade and thinks and says to himself "What's wrong with me?".

### Beginning of September 2018: Joey Accidentally Using His Powers at School

At the start of school, Ayo shows Kaliyah where her class will be, after Nick transferred her to his school.

Meanwhile, Joey makes a joke, and in a unexpected situation, Joey has to dodge and attempts to evade backwards, but instead transforms into water. Everyone nearby is confused, as all they see is a puddle of water and scattered clothing on the floor. Joey resurfaces with his clothes still on the floor as he is now naked, feeling humiliated, grabbing his clothes and taking off.

Later, Joey and his stepmother are leaving the school.

### Liam's Interest

Liam comes across an article on the "Around the Clock News" App about a kid who transformed into water and then returned to his human form. In an attempt to learn more about Joey's ability, Liam theorized that with the ability to transform into water, people could heal at an incredible rate. Although there is no video evidence of what occurred, or proof, it still grabs Liam's interest and prompts Liam to make a call, which doesn't go through.

After the call didn't go through, and after getting Joey's information, Liam emails Joey's father, explaining how he believes he can assist Joey in becoming accustomed to his powers or in overcoming them.

Liam is looking at the response of Joey's dad refusing to allow Liam to assist, as a precaution against Liam possibly conducting an experiment on Joey. Liam, slightly frustrated or disappointed by the response, attempts to reason with his father, but his final response remains unchanged, frustrating Liam even further, leaving Liam to sit there with his hands together as he thinks about what to do next.

### Day 4 and 5 (During suspension) (Middle of September) Compilation of Joey Getting Use to Using His Powers

Joey attempts to learn how to use his powers on Day 4 or 5 of his out-of-school suspension for public nudity on school grounds. Ayo has just left school, where Kaliyah tells him that she's going to Nick's and Ayo responds, claiming that he's going to pick up Joey before meeting her there.

Meanwhile, in a conference meeting, the school administration is speaking with Joey and his parents, debating whether or not to expel Joey from school to take precautions for the safety of the other students, due to his abilities. There has not been an official choice made yet, as they are still debating it, though they do come to the idea that if he learns to control his abilities, he might be able to stay since there are likely more students with abilities as well.

Arriving home, Ayo is parked outside the house, waiting to pick Joey up and "hangout". Joey's parents allow him to go out, and during the drive, stopped at a stop light, the driver and his friend in the car next to them look at Joey and laugh, recalling the incident at the school. Joey purposely uses his hydrokinesis, causing their drink to spill all over the car. Joey laughs, while Ayo sighs and shakes his head. Arriving at Nick's house, they head into the base. Joey sees Kaliyah, and Ayo also informs him that he is White Shadow. Kaliyah informs Joey that she and Nick are developing a method for him to be able to convert his clothing into water alongside him. Kaliyah also informs Joey that the video from the people who witnessed the fight never went viral, as Kaliyah deleted it from all social media platforms (Which is why there was no proof on the news). She removed it from all nearby phones, galleries, google drives, Snapchats, and other media; all removed before the videos and pictures could be posted. Meanwhile, Joey is given advice to continue to educate himself about his abilities and his struggles to utilize them as he would receive their help. Becoming increasingly frustrated with his abilities, he enters the house. Grabbing a drink of water, he instantly pours it out, as he is not trying to think about water at the moment. Trying to relax and take a break, he turns on the television.

### Damien, Vincent, Uncle/Dad Death

Vincent is at the hospital that night, keeping an eye on his father when he receives word that his dad has died, and he texts Damien to inform him of the situation, but never receives a response from him, as he happens to still be missing over the past month. Vincent eventually leaves and resolves to pursue those responsible for poisoning his father in order to complete the job and exact revenge.
