The dark-haired man entered the room where Jesselyn was kept. "How is she?" He asked before sitting on a chair next to the container she was in.
"Better," the medic replied. "Your blood somehow sped up her healing. All her internal injuries have completely healed, and external too. It's fascinating."
The dark-haired man ran his hand through his hair as a soft smile slipped off his lips. "Yeah well..." His words trailed off as the door opened and a man walked in with two men following behind him, no doubt his bodyguards.
The man had low shaved grey hair with teal green eyes. He wore a brown suit that had a round golden button-like object attached to the shirt. A small frame glass rested on the bridge of his nose.
He stopped and scanned the room before setting his eyes on the former Storm agent. The medic in the room quickly got up and bowed.
The man stayed quiet for a couple of seconds before clearing his throat. He pushed up his tie and took another step forward. "You must be the Weir," he said, his broad voice gluing around the room and reminding the dark-haired man of an agent he detested back on Winter Weir.
"Andy Sprite, was it?" He queried.
The dark-haired man remained seated and quiet as he listened to the man. "I am Marcus, the Head of Earth, I'm sure you've heard of me already."
He got up on his feet and extended his hand for a handshake. "Andy, like you said."
Marcus looked at his hand and then up at his face before walking closer to the container, ignoring his gesture. "I took the liberty of coming here myself to apologize for what happened to your… friend. She just happened to wind up in the wrong place at the wrong time." He turned and returned to the position he was in when he stepped into the room.
"Huh."
"But again, I apologize. As a guest on this planet, it is our duty to keep you safe, and we will for as long as you stay here. You do not need to worry about the menace that wanders our planet, we will take care of it, for the sake of all of our safety." Marcus turned his heels and began towards the door but stopped as the dark-haired man spoke.
"I'm gonna destroy it."
The head of Earth turned back to face him. "I do not know how you operate back in Winter Weir, but it is not how we do things around here. You are a guest, you do not need to put yourself out in battles, we have personnel for that."
"I'm glad that you're looking out for our safety. But you should have done that before any of this happened," the dark-haired man started. "We appreciate you letting us stay on your planet, and all the hospitality you've showed till now, but --" he paused. "… I'm gonna destroy Jacob Marksman. And you can't stop me."
Marcus remained quiet for a couple of moments before letting a small smile slip off his lips. "Very well then, you'd be doing us a favor also," he added before walking out of the room.

Ealien
The door opened for the dark-haired man to enter the room where Hailey was. She turned to the door and a huge smile plastered all over her face as she realized who it was. "Andy, what are you doing here?" She got up on her feet and threw herself over him, pulling him in for a hug.
"I came to see how you were doing. To make sure you're not pushing yourself any more than you should, especially after your injury."
She pulled back a little such that she was still in the dark-haired man's grip. "Aww… that's so sweet, that actually made me happy."
"Yeah well, seems to me like you are pushing yourself. The Nator building is under reconstruction and instead of resting at home, you moved to Ealien and continued working."
She pulled away and moved to a nearby computer. "I'm completely fine," she stated. "I'm just worried that Jacob might come at us again."
"You know, the medic that brought me here said though your injury looks small, if you don't rest, it might turn into a bigger problem."
Hailey rolled her eyes. "Please, it was just a brush, it's nothing serious."
The dark-haired man walked up to where Hailey was and sat on an empty chair next to her. "What happened at Nator?"
Hailey leaned back in her chair and sighed. "I saw the true power of the Powerball."
[Earlier]
Ada turned to Yvonne. "Don't just stand there, go…" Before she could complete her words, Jacob sent her flying into the glass wall behind with a thunderous punch.
Ada quickly got back on her feet and charged forward. She raised her hand to attack the bald man. Just as she was inches away from colliding her fist with his jaw, she froze in her tracks, unable to move.
A mischievous grin crawled up Jacob's lips as he looked at Ada's fist.
The red-haired lady tried but couldn't move any part of her body. She felt a force holding her from even blinking.
"That's right," Jacob started as his right hand once again morphed into a long sword. "I have the Powerball, that only makes you all slaves to my will."
Jacob raised his hand to attack Ada but a gunshot filled the air. He dropped his hand and turned to see Yvonne aiming her gun at him. "Really?"
The dark-haired lady reloaded the gun and aimed it at him again. "You're wasting your time…" before he could complete his words, she pulled the trigger.
A shockwave engulfed Jacob's body, forcing him to his knees. He groaned and pulled out the bullet from his thigh just in time to dodge the next bullet.
The bald man lunged himself forward. He raised his hand and thrust it at Yvonne but Hailey quickly pushed her out of the way, causing Jacob's attack to brush her abdomen.
He used his left hand to send Hailey crashing back before turning to Yvonne who lay on the ground unable to move.
Jacob aimed his hand at her but this time, it morphed into a gun. "Why couldn't you just let me be with my family?"
"Ja--cob," Yvonne mumbled.
He scoffed. "I do not need your answer, because I'm well aware of what it is going to be."
[Reboot complete]
Jacob turned to where Ada was. He had completely forgotten about her presence. She appeared in front of him and sent him flying back with a right.
A mechanical hiss exuded from Ada as she dragged herself to stand straight. "Get away from this building, I am going to self-destruct with him."
"Ada, don't."
She ignored Yvonne and rushed towards Jacob. She stomped him back down with a kick to his head before he could stand.
She sat over him and began raining down a series of punches as the mechanical hiss became even louder. Jacob grabbed her hand and ripped it out before turning Ada to pin her down. "Why won't you just sto…" before he could finish, Ada exploded in his face. The blast turned the part of the building to rubbles and a strong wave sent Hailey and Yvonne away.
[Now]
"Jacob's signal is on so I know he's still out there, probably recuperating."
"I realize it now," Hailey stated. "The Powerball can never be a salvation, it will only cause destruction. That is why I must find a way to destroy it."
The dark-haired man exhaled. "You don't have to worry too much Hailey, we will stop him."
"We?" A voice called out from behind.
The duo turned to the direction the voice came from. The dark-haired man's eyes widened as he saw who it was.
Five masked individuals dressed in a black suit stood in front of him. Each of them had a sword sheathed in their belt.
"This…" the former storm agent mumbled. "I've seen this before…"
