Tara, Vic, Gar and Tempest are hiding out in an abandoned house in Seattle. Tara is almost caught stealing food and medicine for the group, but uses her earth-moving powers to elude the police. The four of them have no better place to go than to hide where they are. Vic's metallic condition worsens - he complains to Tara that he can't feel anything anymore, and that he feels like he should just give in to the feeling of nothingness. Slade Wilson, still possessed by Jericho, breaks into a high tech complex, disables a number of guards and confronts Niles Caulder, the head of the project that empowered the children. Caulder dismisses his security forces to talk to both Jericho and Slade. Jericho tells Caulder that he lost the four children, but only because he followed Starfire instead. He offers to lead Caulder right to her.
