First Toronto Bank. Several minutes later.

The Rogues, accompanied by Reese and Tricia, arrived at the bank.

Reese, using his minor telepathic ability, scanned inside for the suspects, but found only one person.

"Jesus..."

"What is it?" Anthony asked, hovering over everyone.

"The bank robber...he's Superhuman. Like us."

"Shit! Okay; Danny, get in there and free hostages. Amber, baby, stay out here with Tricia. If this bitch ass gets the drop on us, burn him. Eli, you're the battering ram. Knock those doors down. Reese, you're with me."

"I like the game plan." Reese smiled, and within seconds, the team burst into the bank.

The Superhuman robber they were met with was one never seen before.

His eyes burned orange...along with his hands and feet. It was flames. Behind him were the hostages, behind a wall of fire that burned red. In front of him, was a pentagram that glowed the same orange hue as his hands.

Meanwhile, Danny zoomed inside and within milliseconds, freed the hostages, much to his hatred of fire.

"Don't try anything, motherfucker!" Anthony yelled, to which he was met with a fireball to the chest, knocking him backward.

"Leave me alone!" The man cried out. "This world will suffer and burn, just as my father wanted!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cool it! No need to steal anything or kill anyone!" Reese shouted.

Anthony got up, eyes glowing blue. "Last chance, fucker! Stop what you're doing...or pay."

"I don't care for money! I just want them to suffer my father's wrath!"

"Is your father the fucking Devil?" Reese asked, to which the man faced him.

"That is one of his names, but his real name...is Hades."

Anthony stepped closer. "Look...whatever your name is..."

"William!"

"William, just calm down, man. No need for anyone to get hurt today."

William, the son of Hades, simply punched Anthony out into the street, following him.

Just as he was about to engage with the other Rogues, he stopped when he saw Tricia and Amber.

"You're all going to suffer, starting with the bitches."

Just before either William or Amber could react, Anthony blasted him in the back, sending him into a car.

William simply sprung up, a circle of fire around him burst into existence.

"Father, I will not fail you! These whores will suffer!!"

Before he could launch a flaming attack, a loud scream sounded, and part of the bank's entrance exploded. Reese burst out, and in a fit of rage, lunged at William.

He tackled him, and threw punch after punch into his face.

As William raised his hand to attack, Reese simply grabbed both of his arms, and as he hoisted him up, ripped each arm out of their sockets.

William howled in pain, only for Reese to resume beating him.

Eli and Anthony both ripped Reese off of William, who was now dead.

"What the fuck was that?!" Eli asked, noticing Reese's eyes glow.

Just as he asked that question, Reese's  head shook, and consciousness came back to him.

"What the...oh fuck, not again! Not another episode!" Reese looked at William's body.

"Episode?" Eli asked.

"Danny," Anthony called out to his speedster brother, to which he arrived.

"What?"

"Are the hostages okay?"

"Yeah, they good. I managed to-oh shit!" He noticed the body of William.

"I...after the incident last year, I've been having nightmares, and...occasionally...I'd black out. Thought I got it under control."

Anthony patted Reese's shoulder. "It's all good. You stopped the guy, at least."

Reese shook his head. "I killed someone."

"Hey, he woulda killed those people inside if we didn't show up. Besides, he said his dad was Hades...or the Devil. That's some evil shit, if you ask me."
