Marcus was standing on the rooftop of the Academy, training at the at the edge of the Academy's rooftop while a crowd of fans was standing by the Academy, cheering.

Marcus wipe some sweet off his forehead with a white rag before he threw the rag down from the roof to the crowd of fans.

But then he spotted Vanya standing in the middle of the crowd, looking right up at him.

Vanya and Marcus entered a café before they both sat down with their cup of coffee.

"I'm glad we're doing this" Marcus said as he took off his gloves, before putting them on the table "Whatever happens between our two families, the Number Ones should orchestrate it" he said "I'm Number Seven, actually" Vanya said.

"Well, then somebody screwed up" Marcus said before he took a sip of his coffee "My brothers think you're gonna come after us" Vanya said and Marcus looked at her as he put down his coffee cup.

"I don't want a war. We've lost enough" Vanya said "Then you shouldn't have attacked us in our own house" Marcus said, raising his voice a little bit before he took a deep breath.

"Look, this isn't personal, but we're the only superhero game in town. We have this place under complete control. But if your people start taking shots at us, it will give the sheep ideas" he said and she shook her head "We won't. That's--" "And I'm just supposed to take your word on that?" he said, cutting her off.

"For your whole family? You're not even their Number One. And I'm sorry, but I can't risk that. So if you came here to beg me not to make the next move...." he said before he grabbed his gloves.

"I came here to tell you mine" she said and he looked at her before he narrowed his eyes.

"Tomorrow morning, when your busloads of fans show up, I'm gonna be there on your front lawn, and I'm gonna call you out for a fight, just you and me" she said and he let out a scoff as the lights in the ceiling started flickering on and off for a second.

"Why?" he asked "Because your team is good. Better than mine, maybe" she said as the sound of electricity crackled was heard and he looked up to see the light flickering on and off as he heard a low rumbling sound.

"But I don't think you are better than me, Marcus" she said and he looked at her "I ended the world twice. And you?" she said and he looked looked at his coffee cup to see that it started shaking a little bit "You're just meat in spandex" she said and she could feel that he was getting a bit frightened.

"And I bet you don't want the whole world watching, when I prove that to you" she said as the quite sound of high-pitched tone resonating was heard while the sound of cup and saucer clattering was heard.
