"What were you thinking, Grace? Pushing him off of the Empire State building? Do you realize how many people could have seen you- all of the people you would have exposed to your secret? Anyone who wanted to hurt you and thought that Mary had taken care of you would see that you were still alive and would hunt you again. That was so incredibly reckless!" Max was livid- Grace had never seen him so angry about anything in her life, and she had known Max a long time.

"I was just having fun! What's the problem with that? Nothing was going to happen to him- I wouldn't let that happen. Not after losing my family. You really don't think I can handle…" She stopped short, realizing that Vince had walked into the room. "I don't need this, Max. I can handle myself."

"No, Grace. That's the problem- you never could. David and Millie and Griffin were always the ones who took care of you, and they're gone. If you insist on being childish, that's how I'll treat you. You're staying here, and I will not let you jump. I'm putting a cable on you. His movement was quick, but Grace jumped to the other side of the room and screamed, "NO!"

Max shot a cable across the room, and it wrapped around her leg. She fell to the floor, the glow of electricity surrounding her again. Vince stared, aghast, as Max picked her up and placed her on the cot where she had lain before. She shouted, "You can't do this to me, Max. You were supposed to be my friend, not morph into one of them. Help me, please!"

"I am helping you, Grace. You need to heal- physically and mentally. You're not ready to be on your own. You have to let your body right itself again, and you need to come to grips with the fact that you've lost people. Please understand that this is what's best for you right now."

Grace just closed her eyes and nodded. "All right, Max. I'll stay. But only until everything heals. Then I'm as good as gone. I won't jump- fine with me. What do I have to live for anyway?"

Max and Vince left the room. Vince whispered, "Max, how are you going to keep her here? That cable won't hold her forever, and once she's out, she won't keep that promise. She'll be out of here."

Max nodded. "That's why I want someone to give her a reason to stay. She needs to be attached to something or someone, or else she won't ever come back. I am preparing to ask her to be in an act for the show- she's an excellent dancer. I need her to remain here- the outside world is too dangerous for her."

"That won't be enough to keep her here- you don't just entertain a prisoner in a holding cell to make him feel like he belongs in jail. Maybe she should help me as the Cape- Orwell may be a computer whiz, but she's not much of a sidekick right now. That would keep her busy."

"We'll see, Vincent. I don't need you being distracted from what you must do to keep Grace busy. You have things that you must do as well. She cannot be a distraction to you."

Vince nodded and turned to walk away. But a nagging thought flashed in the back of his mind- She might be already.
