Phoebe took Mark to the base where everyone was waiting. "You came." Clara said happily. Mark looked at her. "We're going home Clara." He said. Clara looked at him and shook her head. "After all this time you just wanna get away from mom?" She asked. "I thought you'd want to see her again." Mark walked towards Clara and pointed at Phoebe. "She wasn't even supposed to know about us yet." He said. "She's not our mother, she's still Mimic." Phoebe walked over and shot looks at both of them. "I already said that's enough from both of you." She reminded them. Meanwhile Oliver was walking into the training room to see William. Cody, and Tommy messing with an arrow. "Careful with that." He said. William fiddled around and then smiled. "Check this out." He said giving one of the arrows to Cody before they split up. The two of them shot the arrows on the ground between a group of dummy targets. "You guys missed." Oliver said with a chuckle. The boys looked at each other and laughed. "We don't miss." Tommy said. He let out a scream towards the arrows that trapped the targets inside. Oliver looked at the trap impressed and surprised. "You're already powerful with your scream." He said. "What do you need this for?" Tommy turned to him. "Like you said, I'm powerful." He answered. "The force of the screams are at a frequency that sends them or anything else flying yards away from where they were." Cody explained that the arrows they made were frequency arrows. The arrows had the ability to trap the frequencies inside and release them into a barrier when connected to multiple arrows. "That's actually impressive." Oliver said. Cody then walked off and Oliver followed him. When they got a few doors down, Oliver stopped Cody. "Does William know?" He asked. "That your his brother?" Cody assured him he didn't. "Even if I had told him you know he's too stubborn to believe it." He said. Oliver nodded in agreement. He definitely wasn't wrong about the stubbornness. Meanwhile William and Tommy were sitting in the training room. "Ever try to hit every one of these tennis balls at once?" Tommy asked. William rolled his eyes and shook his head. "That's a waste of time, not to mention impossible." He replied. Tommy rolled his eyes. He wondered if William could get anymore annoying. "Ever try to hit something without targeting it?" He said getting up and grabbing a bunch of arrows. "No." William answered with a tone that made it sound like Tommy was stupid. Annoyed, Tommy slammed the group of arrows in front of William. "Listen whether you like it or not you're part of the Queen bloodline, which now includes fighting thanks to our parents." He said as he piled tennis balls into the ball launcher. "Now you're gonna hit every single one of those while shooting at me." Now William was convinced that Tommy was stupid. He rolled his eyes and got ready. At least this would keep him off his back if any of them hit him. The launcher started up and William fired at Tommy as quickly as he could. Tommy Let out a scream towards the arrows that shot them behind William. As soon as they were done, Tommy chuckled while catching his breath. "Still think it's impossible." He said pointing to the wall behind William. William looked to see every last tennis ball stuck on the wall with an arrow. "Wanna have some real fun?" Tommy asked. "Come on let's go around town like our parents do." William got wide eyed with surprise. "Are you nuts?" He asked. "I just let you shoot arrows at me." Tommy replied. "I think that answers the question." Meanwhile Clara was sitting by herself thinking about Mark when Phoebe arrived. "Hey, you okay?" Phoebe asked. Clara started to say yes but couldn't lie. "I didn't just just come here to get my brother back." She admitted. "I wanted to see who you were, I wanted to see Mimic." Clara explained that she felt like it was up to her to get Mark back on his feet. No one was trying and always said to give him time. "I thought maybe he would be the way he was before if he saw you." She said. Phoebe looked at Clara. "What about your dad?" She asked wasn't he around?" Clara wiped tears from her eyes. "We didn't know him that well." She answered. "You never really wanted to talk about it." Phoebe looked and noticed Clara was messing with her arm during the conversation. "Is something wrong?" She asked. Clara tried to stop Phoebe but she uncovered the sleeve to reveal cuts. "How long have you been doing this?" Phoebe asked. Clara then burst into tears. "Since you died." She said. "Everything started falling apart, Mark just left without a second thought." She started to run off when Phoebe her arm. "Clara talk to me." She said. Clara pulled her arm away. "You don't get it." She said. "You've never had to deal with trying to protect people to the the point where you were taking the hits for them." Phoebe looked at her in silence. "Is that really what you believe, that I never put myself into the toughest positions?" She asked. Clara nodded. "I do get hurt in battles, that's part of what I do." Phoebe explained. "I've almost died protecting my friends and you without even realizing it, I've even allowed myself to be captured in order to get information from the Blue Falcons." Mark then came in looking annoyed. "Clara, let's go." He said. "Why so you can run off and disappear again?" Clara asked angered. "What did you do to my boyfriend?" Mark rolled his eyes. "Why me?" He asked. "Because the week after you left he went to look for you but we ended up losing contact with him." Clara answered. "Where is he?" She asked. "That's what happens when you date Batman's son." Mark said. Phoebe got wide eyed. "Say what now?" She asked. Clara and Mark then started to fight, first when punches and kicks, then with their powers. "Guys stop!" Phoebe said. Everyone else came into the room to see what was going on while trying to protect themselves. Just then the reality stone flew out of Phoebe's pocket and into her hand, instantly transforming into its liquid form and getting onto the other hand as well. She walked over and got in the middle of them. "Last chance you two." She warned. Both Clara and Mark just looked at each other. "Let's finish this." Mark said as he and Clara ran to attack again. "Gladly." Phoebe said. She pointed her hands at the two of them and sent a red energy around them. As it hit them, a swarm of other energies escaped them and went into Phoebe. Once the red energy vanished Clara and Mark tried to use their powers, nothing happened. Mark looked at the red liquid on Phoebe's hands as it returned to its stone form. "You took our powers?!" He asked angrily. "Why would you do that?!" Phoebe looked at him in disbelief. "Do you not see what you both just did to this place just because you fought?" She asked pointing around the base. "Until you two can get this handled you will not be getting your powers back." She said. "You gave me no other choice."
