A black man entered to a hospital. Inside, he went to the room where there is a specific doctor working on with some virus. Most essentially, the virus is the Blacklight Virus. The doctor's name is Bradley Ragland. As of now, despite the section of New York City is in has turned into Hell, he still works with his job. Not only that, but also he's in cared for Dana Mercer, Alex Mercer's sister, who is placed on a coma after being taken captive by Elizabeth Greene. Therefore, he tries to find some way to wake her up from that state. Suddenly, he is halted by the appearance of the black man.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he started.

As the doctor turns away, he immediately took recognition to this man.

"I know you. You're James Heller, the soldier fighting in the Red Zone."

"That's right," Heller said. "You know why I'm here?" After a while, he turned his attention to Dana. It looks like he has something in mind for her.

Ragland stood in front of Heller to defend her. Suspecting of what this man wanted, he is not allowing him to achieve his objective.

"What do you want with her?"

"I want information," Heller replied. "The only way to do that is to absorb her."

"Absorb her?" Ragland looked surprised to this answer. He can't believe what this guy has said. For a while, he has discovered the truth about him. "Wait, does that mean..."

Heller grabs the doctor's neck with his bare hands and started throwing him to a wall.

"That's right. I got the same powers as Mercer's. It is because he infected me with the strain of the virus. I've come here seeking revenge, and it looks like he's not here. Too bad, but with his sister right here, I shall absorb her for information about him."

"I won't let you do it!" Ragland stood defiant to him. Suddenly, he felt pain, and then death comes to him. Heller has stabbed him with his blade power.

"Yeah, I know you won't let me," he then let go of the doctor. He turns his attention to Dana. Holding her body on his arms, he absorbs her.

Her memories are transferred onto him. In his head, it appears Dana's been ordered by Alex to spy on Gentek as he gets paranoid around them after seeing Blackwatch soldiers gunning down scientists with knowledge of the Blacklight Virus. After a while, she got his laptop to check out the files about what is happening, including the infection at Hope, Idaho with the Redlight Virus, the virus that will become the Blacklight Virus under Alex's creation.

Now that he has the information he needed, Heller exits to the hospital to continue his search for Alex.
