Kevin met up with Lea a few days later. "Are you sure you're well enough to handle anything right now?" He asked.

"Yeah." Lea said. "My condition's gotten better since the last time we met."

"So, you were saying about my powers?"

"I think I know the problem." Lea explained. "Try using it on the ground."

"What good is that going to do?"

"Just trust me. If I'm right about who you are, then maybe it can work."

He had his hand on the ground. Suddenly, it turned to the same color and element. "Whoa!" He got up really fast.

"It's nothing to fear." Lea told him. "Whatever solid substance you touch will cover you. It'll help when you have to face tough opponents."

"How do I change back?"

"Just concentrate." Lea said. "There's a few ways. Just focus on getting back to normal or if you get knocked out."

"I can't wait to hear option number three."

"I think you should figure that one out for yourself." Lea said. "I met another with your power once, but that was about thirteen years ago."

Then, one day, disaster struck. Lea had found an open portal and showed Kevin. Suddenly, they were ambushed by guards and the Null Guardians. "I don't get it! The Null Guardians usually have a peaceful nature!" Lea yelled.

"Well, we can't just let them tear us limb from limb!" Kevin yelled back. The two of them fought off most of them. Kevin had gotten close to the portal, but Lea was surrounded by guards. "Lea!"

"You have to go, Kevin!" She called to him. "If you don't, then we'll both be stuck here forever!" He watched her. "It's okay! I'll find my own way home. Go!" As she was captured once more, he escaped.

"After that, I thought I'd never see her again." Kevin told them.

"So, what did you do after you did escape?" Ben asked.

"I knew I had to start over and that I had to start somewhere." He explained. "So, I returned home. My mom was really happy to see me again."

"How did you know where to find her?" Gwen asked.

"I don't know, exactly." Kevin told her. "It's as if something led me there. After learning about the Plumbers, I had a secret job trading alien tech. I wasn't expecting to run into you guys again."

"So that's why you agreed to help us." Ben said.

"But I feel like I betrayed her." Kevin told them. "I have to go help her."

"Let us help you." Gwen said.

"No. I can't let you come with me. These bounty hunters are dangerous. Besides, after everything I did, why would you want to help me?" He left before either one could protest.

"Wow, someone's got issues." Ben said.

"Ben, I have a confession to make." Gwen spoke up. "I met Kevin before that night. I was on my home from school when I saw him on the other side of the street. We talked for a while before I almost missed my curfew. I had no idea that he was the same guy we used to fight."

"We need to help anyway." Ben said. "He's part of the team."

At an empty warehouse, Kevin broke in and found Lea tied up. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"It's a trap!" She finally managed to scream. Suddenly, at least sixteen bounty hunters appeared and surrounded them.
