"You're coffee, Ma'am." Said her current secretary.

"Thank you, Melissa, you can go home now." Said, Rebecca, as she took the hot drink from the much younger woman's hands.

"Thank you, Ma'am. I shall see you tomorrow." Melissa replied as she left Rebecca's office.

Rebecca took a sigh of relief as she finally had a break from her work, there was so much to deal with after the end of the Endbringers and the death of Eidolon.

Such was the life of the one that was both Alexandria and the Chief Director of the PRT.

Though her current break, wasn't going to be one of leisure, but one of conversation as she there was a certain person she needed to speak too.

"Door me," Rebecca commanded, and a second later a hole in space opened up in front of her that lead to an entirely different Universe where Cauldron's base was located.

Rebecca drank her coffee to the last drop before she walked through the portal and entered the room on the other side.

"Fortuna you're going to tell me everything, and don't you dare use your power to get out of this conversation. I will know when you are, and I will punch you." Rebecca told the Pre-Cog as she wanted answers. Rebecca knew she would be able to punch her even if she knew the punch was coming, as that was one of the weaknesses of her power. It could not make her act in ways that she was not physically capable of. It did not matter if you knew a punch was coming if you weren't fast enough to dodge it.

"There is no need to resort to threats, Rebecca. I will tell you what you want to know." Fortuna responded.

"I was able to confirm it with my own power that David was the cause of the Endbringers, but what I don't know is how much control he had over them. So I wanted to know if, maybe you had managed to figure out something." While most people knew Alexandria, knew her for her high-end brute power, she did, in fact, have one of the highest ranked Thinker powers in the world. And it was because of that power she had named herself after the Library of Alexandria.

"You're correct about that assumption, now with David dead, I can actually path him properly along with the Endbringers." She told Rebbeca.

"How?"

"It was because of David's Agent they have ranked in terms of what they do. And the one that made David, Eidolon. Could be called an Administration Agent meant to control other Agents. Which was made David unable to be affected by Thinker powers such as my own. Due to a subconscious desire of his to 'Not be seen' which is no longer in effect. That subconscious was that brought forth the Endbrigners in a desire to prove himself as a Hero when his powers started waining." Fortuna explained.

"I, I don't know if that is better or worse than him having actively summoned them. Thank you for easing my mind. But with him dead, we've still lost our greatest weapon against Scion." Rebecca thanked the fedora-wearing woman.

"Now was that all you wanted to know? For I have places to be." Fortuna said.

"What is the deal with Salem and all the other strange Parahumans that showed up in Brockton Bay the last few days. They were able to defeat Endbringers were I could barely scratch them, so who are they? And could you finally explain what happened to the Ward known as Vista and why you had me blame Salem and Sigurd for her death. While she is clearly still alive just changed somehow, and that lie would easily fall apart if she showed her powers in public? I did it because you asked me too because I thought it would help further our goal. But after looking at it can't see a positive with it?" Rebecca asked.

"I had you do that to expose Salem and Sigurd to various stimuli to gauge their reaction so that I could gather data about them for a more accurate pathing." She answered.

"Wait you can't Path?"

"They are not blacklisted in my power like the Endbringers and David were, and like Scion still is. It was just inaccurate to not having the proper data about them. That is no longer a problem." Fortuna answered, not as much as it was before anyway she now only had a five percent error rate involving any path that involved Salem. Due to the girls still unknown repertoire of magical skills. "You don't have to worry about the lie being exposed for some time as in this moment they are too focused on other problems." According to the path, the next scuffle they would be engaged in. Would happen in three days then the Grail War picked back up again, and it would end the same day. "As for the changes regarding Vista and the other Parahumans. Do not worry about them. For they, along with Scion. Are going to be gone in three days." Fortuna told Rebecca.

And that last sentence caused the heroine's eyes to widen in shock." Fortuna, what do you mean Scion is going to be gone in three days?"

"I have devised a plan to kill Scion, which will happen in three days. Which means that Cauldron will finally be able to focus overturning the current state of the world towards success instead of oblivion."

Rebecca didn't know what to think as she heard those words.

The death of Scion.

It was something she had wished for ever since she had learned the truth of the monster that had disguised itself as a hero. But how the hell was Fortuna going to accomplish this? Their original plan had been to use the corpse of the other one to harvest powers to find the right one that would kill Scion, and so far David had been Cauldron's biggest success in that regard. But that had changed when his powers had started weakening, and so the plan had changed to throw as many Parahumans at him until they got lucky. Which was what all the Case 53s in the basement were for.

So what the hell did Fortuna, nor Contessa have up her sleeve that would allow her to accomplish that without a catastrophic amount of death and the destruction of this Earth.

"How?" She asked, and there was still the origin of those powerful Parahumans that had suddenly appeared.

"I can't tell you that Rebecca, that would ruin the path to that end. Now then my daughter has need of me." Fortuna said and left the room through Doormaker's power before Rebecca could react as she was still processing the bombshell that the Pre-Cog had dropped on her.

Then the fuck did she get a child. "Dammit Fortuna." Rebecca groaned as she realized the woman had dupped her with that information. She was going to give the girl an earful the next time she saw her.

But she had to return to her office now and make sure the world didn't implode now that the Endbringers were dead. Oh, this was not going to be fun for heroes and villains.

Rebecca now just hoped that whatever, Fortuna had planned would work out. Though if she didn't want to talk about the new powerful Parahumans in Brockton Bay. Perhaps Director Piggot would be more helpful in that endeavor.

Jack hummed as he scrolled through his phone trying to pick someplace he and his 'family' could hit up. Perhaps one with an amusement park for Riley to have some fun.

He was however taken out his thoughts when he saw a message pop up on his screen from his dear protégé.

Sorry Kirei but I'm going to have to decline that offer, even if it just got hit by all the Endbringers I am not returning to Brockton Bay so long as that man still lives there. Jack thought with a shudder as he remembered then that man had killed most of Slaughterhouse single-handedly. Most people thought it was Marquis that had chased him out of the Habour City, but that couldn't have been further from the truth.

Sure he hadn't been able to convert the man, but that wasn't why he had left. No, that honor belonged to that feeble-looking old man and his swarm of insects that had devoured his companions in that time.

And Jack knew if he returned even with Bonesaw, Siberian, Mannequin, and Crawler on his side. It would end in a massacre on his side.

So maybe they should go to a less dangerous place like New York.
