"Sit down", TC says.

"Why would we do that", Dionte says.

"Cause if you know what's best for you, you wouldn't try to fight me, without powers", TC says.

"What are you talking about, we have powers", Brandon says turning his eyes white.

"But you can't use them in such a public area", TC says.

"And why is that?", Erica says.

"No he's right", Jenn says beginning to sit down, "We'll blow our covers".

The rest of the team begins to sit down.

"So, What's your plan", Khalil asks.

"Well your team has something I want", TC says.

"Which is?", Jenn asks.

"Dr. Stewart", TC says.

"My mom, what do you want with her", Jenn asks.

"She's the only one that knows anything about Metas, meaning she's the only one that can make more", TC says.

"So you want a Meta Army just like everybody else", Jenn says.

"No, I want a Meta Family, My Family, the Family that was taken from me, If I could give them meta powers, I can actually resurrect them", TC says.

"But they will never come back the same", Khalil says.

"This isn't Pet Cemetery, But you should know, you once had the power of painkiller" TC says.

"Painkiller isn't a power, it's a curse", Khalil says.

"It's actually a Virus", TC replies.

"A Virus?", Khalil says.

"Oh right, y'all haven't figured it out yet", TC says.

"Figured what out", Jenn asks.

"Why would I tell you, If I know and y'all don't, I'm ahead", TC says.

"You can't keep us here all night", Erica says.

"On the contrary, I've signed you all up for after school detention", TC says, "And agreed to lock up".

Over at the Lab, Anissa and Grace talk quickly making their way to "Dr. Parker".

"Is this our Dr. Parker", Grace says.

"We don't have a Dr. Parker, that was one and done", Anissa says.

"Your right", it could be any Dr. Parker", Grace says nearing the Lab.

"But not this time", Anissa says pointing inside the lab, "That's definitely, Dr. Parker".

Grace pulls Anissa out of eyesight of the lab room.

"What is she doing here", Grace asks.

"Maybe she just found another job", Anissa says.

"No, that's weird", Grace says.

"You're right she did work for TC, maybe this is like an elaborate, scheme of his to get close to one of us", Anissa says.

"We need to get in there and talk to her, you know, pump her for information", Grace says.

"She'll recognize our faces, she's not gonna tell us anything", Anissa says.

"Maybe not us, but an old lab worker", Grace says morphing into Dr. Jace.

"Good thinking, see what her plans are and I'll go alert my dad and get into a Mission suit", Anissa says walking away.

Grace turns and walks into the room.
