2 Days Later, Jenn, Brandon, TC, and Erica sit in the sactum while Jenn gets her 15th injection. After TC gives it to her, they look on the screen and see the power inside of her grow.
"Whoa TC, it's incredible that you figure this out", Erica says.
"It wasn't easy, I had to literally reverse every component, formula, and processing liquid to get just a quarter of the supply he probably has", TC says.
"So what's Jenn's power update, since we made it halfway", Brandon asks.
"Well, based off of her body regulations, Jenn's body is accepting the serum pretty well, in fact she should be fully restored in about 7-10 days", TC says.
"When will I know, I can use my power?", Jenn asks.
"That's actually the cool part, you should be able to make small Lightning balls in your hand right now", TC says.
"Wait really?", Jenn asks.
"Yes, give it a try", TC says.
Jenn holds her hand out and begins trying to create a lightning ball. After a few seconds, she closes her eyes and concentrates. As she's about to give up a lightning ball forms in her hand. Everyone smiles.
"God it feels good to do that", Jenn says.
"Don't get too excited just because I showed you the car, doesn't mean you get to drive it", TC says.
"What are you saying?", Jenn asks.
"He's saying, while you can make a lighting ball, you shouldn't keep doing it", Brandon says.
"Why, they're my powers", Jenn says.
"You aren't at full strength, if you use an excessive amount of power, you might prolong getting back to your original powerful self", TC says.
Jenn takes a deep breath. Erica walks up to her.
"Hey, don't pout, I heard you still been kicking ass without your powers", Erica says.
Jenn smiles.
"Thank You, but there's nothing like your own power", Jenn says.
"I know", Erica says softly.
At Wardogs secret hideout. Anissa walks into Wardogs testing facility. In the room he has a meta strapped to a table running test on him inside a testing chamber. He turns around and sees Anissa.
"Anissa, come here, I want to show you something", Wardog says.
Anissa walks up to him. He smiles and clicks on some buttons on a control panel. Inside the testing chamber a pink mist, disperses over the meta. He begins screaming.
"What's happening to him?", Anissa asks.
"I'm stripping him of his powers", Wardog replies.
Anissa watches in horror.
"Is that what the pink mist is?", Anissa asks.
"Yes, I created a power stripping serum, and weaponized it to shoot at my enemies", Wardog says.
Wardog opens up a case with pink and green balls for his serum launcher.
"What's the green balls for?", Anissa asks.
Wardog closes it.
"Nothing", Wardog says, "In the case of an emergency".
"What type of emergency", Anissa asks.
Wardog takes a deep breath.
"Let's not worry about that right now, earlier today my men uncovered another meta hotspot. We are planning on hitting it today, you with us?", Wardog asks.
