Kai wakes up. He walks downstairs and Remi is cooking breakfast and Max is waiting to eat. Kai sits down.
Kai: Why?
Remi: Max wouldn't stop calling me because you were still sleeping.
Kai: So you cook for him?
Max: Of course she would!
Kai: Are you two dating or something?
Max and Remi laugh.
Max: I'm gay stupid.
Kai: I thought something was up with you. Still, why are you cooking for him?
Remi: I cook for him and he gets me a new lead on a story.
Kai: I forgot you were a reporter.
Remi: Yeah, and when you were gone I needed leads.
Max: Is the food done yet?
Remi scowls at Max. Then she turns around and finishes cooking the food. She makes plates for everyone and hands them out. Kai takes a bite.
Kai: This is good.
Remi: You're not the only one who knows how to cook.
Kai shrugs and moves on. Once Kai and Remi finish eating they both sit on the couch. Max goes back to the basement.
Remi: We like to joke about Max hiding in the basement, but he really does not leave.
Kai: Why do you think I like joking about it?
Remi: True. Who are we going to take down next?
Kai: Either Guru or Datura. Datura would be a hit to their money and Guru would be a hit to their planners.
Remi: How do you know that?
Kai: Max and I were going over the groups and who to take down. I just feel like we could take down either.
Remi: If we take down guru they wouldn't be able to come up with strategies against us. So I think we should take down Guru.
Kai: Well then that settles it.
Remi: Wait, I was just giving an idea! You weren't supposed to just bank everything on my idea!
Kai: Then why would you give it? We're taking down Guru-
Remi: Wait.
Kai: What?
Remi: You never explained who Noxa and those B.L.A.D.E guys are.
Kai: B.L.A.D.E is a military organization. Noxa used to be in A.R.G.U.S which is another military group. Noxa betrayed me along with everyone else when A.R..G.U.S tried to kill me. That's why I don't trust her. B.L.A.D.E is holding the meta leaders for us.
Remi: Why not just send them to Alcatraz?
Kai: I have my reasons. Now go home and rest. You have bags under your eyes.
Remi feels her eyes.
Remi: Do I look bad?
Kai: You always look good. You just look tired. We have to be out most of the night so sleep whenever you can.
Remi: I'll talk to you later.
Kai: Yeah.
Remi leaves.
Kai takes out his phone. He texts Raelynn if she wants to meet. Then as Kai is waiting he goes over to the gym. Kai puts some weights on a bar, and bench presses the weight. Then Kai hears his phone go off. Kai puts the bar back up on the bench. He sees Raelynn asked where. Kai told her at Bibble and Sip in an hour. She agrees and Kai leaves the gym. Kai walks downstairs. He sees Max on the computer with a pile of empty cans and potato chip bags.
Kai: This is disgusting.
Max: You have finally come down to the man cave.
Kai: I like a good man cave, but this aint it chief. I want all this stuff cleaned up by the end of the day.
Max: Did you just come down here to nag?
Kai: You're a full grown man and don't pay rent! I came down here to ask you to start looking for Guru's location.
Max: Can do boss.
Kai: Yeah, whatever.
Kai starts walking up the stairs.
Kai: Clean it up!
Max: Stop nagging!
Kai changes his clothes and drives over to Bibble and Sip. Kai grabs a coffee and sits down. Soon Raelynn walks in. She grabs a coffee and sits down. Raelynn is wearing jeans and a red t-shirt.
Raelynn: You finally decided you wanted to talk after a month.
Kai: Yeah, I'm sorry about that. The business trip took longer than expected.
Raelynn: It's not like we're married. You don't have to keep me updated, we aren't even together. I've been busy lately too.
Kai: Maybe we could take some time out of our busy schedules to hang out.
Raelynn: Maybe.
Raelynn gets up from her seat.
Raelynn: I'll see you later Kai.
Kai: Nice t-shirt.
Raelynn turns around and smiles.
Raelynn: I thought you might like red.
She leaves. Kai leans back in his chair and laughs.
Kai: Well then…
Kai gets in his car and drives back home. When Kai gets home Max is pacing back and forth.
Kai: Why?
Max: It's a trap!
Two men with white coats run at Kai. They both come from opposite directions. One punches at Kai. Kai dodges the punch, and grabs the man's arm. Kai throws him into the other guy. The guy catches his partner and they both get their feet on the ground. They both run at Kai again. Kai slides on the ground and takes out his staff. He hits one guy in the legs with his staff while he is sliding. The guy falls to the ground. The other guy tries to elbow down on Kai. Kai blocks it with his staff, and punches the guy in his side with his right hand. Kai puts away his staff and hits the guy in the face with his left. Then he hits him in the nose with his right. The other guy gets up and attacks Kai from the back. Kai kicks behind him. The guy is pushed back by the kick. Then Kai jumps front kicks knocking the guy down.
Kai: Couldn't have texted me?
Max walks over and grabs his phone out of one of the two men's pockets.
Max: Nope.
Kai: Why did they leave you alive?
Max: Distraction. They said I could live if I didn't give them away.
Kai: You definitely didn't give yourself a backup plan.
Max: Nope, but I did find Guru.
Kai: Where?
Max: Follow me.
A man walks up to a stage with a dog following him. He walks in front of a mike. Mutants and Metas are all looking at him from below the stage.
Guru: My Mutant brethren! We plan for the future of what is to come! What we imagine, what we breath life into becomes reality. We came up with the ideas that let our colony thrive in these hard times! We will be the reason that mutants take over more than just New York! But we should not let ourselves forget where we came from! I was thrown in a slave camp because I wanted to protect my dog from being slaughtered. I protected him with my life in those camps, and now he does the same for me. He's my family, and so are all of you! We protect family unlike humans! They betray and love fighting! That is why we'll beat them at their own game! We will win this war!
Everyone cheers. Guru walks off stage as the mutants clap and cheer. Guru walks into the back room. A Mutant woman walks up to him.
Mutant woman: That was amazing is all of that true?!
Guru: Of course it is! I would never lie.
Guru walks away. He walks to the elevator. He goes up. The elevator stops, and he gets out with his dog. Guru walks into a room to see his chambres. He looks out a window to see the city. His dog sits next to him panting.
Guru: We have taken over all that, but someone is trying to take that away.
Guru gets on one knee and starts petting his dog.
Guru: We'll get everyone back for what they did to us.
The dog licks Guru and Guru smirks. Guru stands back up overlooking the city.
Guru: They might have taken Manhattan, but we'll take it back.
Kai and Max walk down the stairs to the basement. Max sits in his chair and types in a few things. The computer zooms into a building in Queens.
Max: It looks like an office building or a small skyscraper. I tried to look up something about it, but all it said was it had been bought.
Kai: It's getting late. I'll call Remi. When it becomes dark we'll attack.
Max: Make sure to use your coms this time!
Kai: I forgot one time. It's not that big of a deal.
Kai walks up the stairs.
