"What? I thought lightning was his thing," Fetch assumed.

"He had ice too at one point," Sam remarked.

"God… that never gets easier," Delsin quipped.

"It's a little different on the receiving end isn't it?" Fetch quipped back.

"Does that mean he got Delsin's powers instead?" Eugene asked.

"No," Cole answered while recovering.

"If we have the same power, or… prime… power..." Delsin began.

"There's no way they could transfer powers to each other," Bentley concluded, "They would be transferring their ability to absorb powers, not the powers they absorbed."

"But that's impossible," Sam began as Fetch helped Delsin to his feet, "We have detailed reports of—"

"Listen we can discuss this later, but right now we need to get the Ray Sphere out of here," Bentley remarked.

"You're right," Sam agreed, "Cole, can you walk?"

"Yeah… I'm fine."

"Good, cuz there's someone who wants to see you. Bentley, I want you, Eugene, and Cole to take the Ray Sphere to the Hideout and get it ready for disassembly. The rest of us will stay here and explore the bunker some more."

"Sounds good to me," Bentley replied while motioning his group to follow him. As they headed out, Sam, Delsin, and Fetch returned to the bunker. When Sam entered, he somehow expected to find a different scene compared to the one left.

"The First Sons… Cole… here in Empire City," Sam thought aloud as he shook his head.

"What do you think it means?" Delsin asked.

"I don't know," he replied with a sigh, "But it's not a coincidence."

"This is turning out to be quite the trip," Fetch quipped as she began her search.

"No kidding," Delsin agreed while eyeing the computer stations, "Should've kept Geek Squad here."

Sam chuckled.

"It's probably better to have the smart guys working on the weapon of mass destruction," Fetch told Delsin, "Unless of course, you want that sort of thing to happen again."

"Alright fair point," Delsin agreed.

"Wait," Fetch thought aloud, walking towards a few computer screens, "These are all password-protected; how did Bentley get in?"

Meanwhile, Bentley, Eugene, and Cole stayed silent during their entire walk back to the Hideout. However, Eugene's mind was buzzing with thoughts. Something just didn't seem kosher to him. The Ray Sphere, the First Sons, Cole… it just didn't add up. They were missing something, and Bentley knew what it was. His concentration was broken however as they reached their destination. As they walked by the other conduits and conduit-supporters, they became the center of attention. Many stood up and walked closer while still keeping their distance, some out of respect, and others out of fear. Finally, they reached the entrance of the hospital, where Zeke stood waiting.

They stood just inches apart. Dead silence hung in the air as they stared at each other. After a few moments, Zeke removed his glasses while also releasing the words that broke the silence.

"Is that really you?" he asked, just above a whisper.

"It's good to see you Zeke," he responded, his voice raspier than Zeke remembered.

"Cole…" he repeated in disbelief as he went in to hug his best friend. It was at this point Bentley nudged Eugene's shoulder, motioning him to follow.

"We've got some catching up to do," Cole continued.

"You've got no idea," Zeke agreed.

Meanwhile, at the MCC, Bentley connected the Ray Sphere to his laptop. Eugene sat at the table while Bentley made preparations. Eugene was unsettled though.

Outside, Zeke and Cole had convened at a corner of the hospital, isolated from everyone else. Zeke wanted to make sure they were alone. However, they had an unknown guest. Unable to take in the fact that Cole was here in the Hideout. Ryan decided to investigate. He hid against the wall and listened to their conversation.

"It's nice to see you haven't given up on us," Cole said in his gravelly voice.

"I'd never give up Cole, you know that," Zeke responded while placing his hand on his best friend's shoulder.

"Well, I'm glad you haven't left the fight. We're not done."

"What do you mean?" Zeke asked.

"They did something to me. I… don't know what but I've been having these visions… of John," Cole explained.

"My God," Zeke replied.

"They're different now… they changed," Cole added.

"Who?" Zeke asked.

"The First Sons… it's the guys in yellow." That's all Ryan needed to hear. The D.U.P. work for the First Sons and right now, they held the most powerful weapon ever created. He immediately rushed away from the two and towards the team's command center.

Bentley, too occupied in his work, failed to pick up Eugene's gaze. However, his trance-like state was broken when Bentley snapped his fingers.

"I left some of my tools at the jamming array, can you keep an eye on this?" Bentley asked Eugene, excitement bleeding from his face.

"Uh yeah, sure thing," Eugene answered, causing Bentley to bolt out of the MCC almost immediately. As he left, Eugene stood up and walked over to the Ray Sphere which was hooked up to Bentley's laptop… Bentley's laptop. Bentley left his laptop open. This could be his chance.

Time began to slow for Eugene, as he considered the situation at hand

Evil – He's hiding something and I know it. He knows way too much about us. Maybe he still works for the D.U.P. and he's using us. All I have to do is access his computer and I'll learn everything I need to know. Why does he want this thing? Is it really to dismantle it or something else?

Good – Maybe I should trust him. If he really meant to betray us, he would've done it back at Curdun Cay. Using his computer isn't right. I would be invading his privacy. Sam may have lied to us, but he would never let anything bad to us, even if it was from Bentley.
