Hero League HQ
The sound of battle was broken as every infected hero screamed in synch before falling to the ground, unconscious. The remaining heroes and villains froze. Those who knew what was happening realized Mindleader had been defeated. With a newfound surge of energy, the heroes regrouped, forcing the Villain League back.
Electress and Blackout fought on, barely noticing the change. Her arch nemesis hadn't changed much, Electress thought, sending an electric current through the ground, still as annoying as ever. The villain with the power of electric absorption and release snarled, sending bolts of lightning back. Seeing an opportunity, Electress slowly began gathering a field of energy behind the villainess as they fought. Little more. Little more. There! Electress kicked up, pushing the villainess back into the glowing column of pure energy. Blackout screamed as her body began shaking. Too much electricity at once, her powers couldn't take it. Twitching, the evil female fell to the concrete. Electress sighed in relief. It was over.
On the other side of the world, Mighty Man fell to the ground, a small smile on his face. He had been under compulsion for too long, his heart couldn't take the strain, but he had died a free man.

Thunderman Household
Barb, partially supported by her husband, sighed as they limped into the house. Whatever had happened with Mindleader, it was done for now. She'd told Kickbutt what had happened before leaving, wanting to check on the kids. The house was dark. Flicking on the lights, Barb gasped. The room was torn to shreds and Erika's mangled body was curled up in a pool of blood.

Hero Hospital
With a burst of light, Electress appeared in the waiting room, a bloody teenage girl in her arms. In less than a second, the nurses sprung into action, taking Erika into surgery. Electress just stood there until Thunderman arrived, putting his arms around her and whispering soothing words into her ear.
Both were surprised when Max and Phoebe arrived, carrying an unconscious Nora.
