The next day, Jefferson met Gambi in the Sanctum to talk about potential plans to go after Tobias.

"So, any ideas besides Lala?" Jefferson asked.

"I'm gonna reach out to Lady Eve. I taught her everything she knows, not to mention, I know things that she'd want to know." Gambi said.

"Like her death." Jefferson said.

"If Eve believes that turning on Tobias will benefit her, such as earning her immunity from Black Lightning and helping us stick it to the ASA, I believe that she'll be willing to come to the table. I'll see if I can track her down by checking her old whereabouts, see if she's a creature of habit." Gambi said.

"Wait, if Lady Eve still uses her old base of operations, maybe Tobias still uses his." Jefferson said.

"Jeff, even if that is true, we can't just rush in blindly. We have to take the time to plan out our strategy. Otherwise, there is a good chance you'll be overrun. Besides, we talked about this, Tobias is a necessary component in taking down the ASA. Once we find him, we need him to believe that telling us what he knows will work in his benefit." Gambi said.

"I know. It just makes me sick to think about working with that man." Jefferson said.

"It's not permanent. Once the ASA is dealt with, we'll bring him down next. You just have to be patient." Gambi said.

"I'll try. But no promises." Jefferson said as Jen entered the Sanctum.

"Hey dad, can I talk to you? In private?" Jen asked and Jefferson nodded.

"What's wrong?" Jefferson asked.

"Nothing's exactly wrong." Jen said.

"Then what is it?" Jefferson asked.

"It's Khalil." Jen said and now Jefferson understood.

"You're worried about whether or not you should see him again." Jefferson said and Jen nodded.

"Dad, as far as I can see, the only way to save Khalil from all the pain he'll endure is if I never get involved with him." Jen said.

"Jen, there is another option." Jefferson said.

"What?" Jen asked.

"You forget who had Khalil shot in the first place." Jefferson said.

"Tobias. We take him down and Khalil will never be shot." Jen realized.

"Exactly. And also, Tobias had Khalil shot to make a statement against me. So for now, we keep our powers on the downlow until we're able to find him and negotiate with him to help us bring down the ASA." Jefferson said.

"I still can't believe you're willing to work with that man." Jen said.

"I'm not. Believe me Jen, as much as you may want to kill Odell, there is nothing I want to do more than finish what I started years ago, put that son of a bitch in the ground where he belongs, let him burn in hell. But I can't, because if I did, I'd be no better than him. Besides, your mother needs him for the stabilization serum." Jefferson said angrily.

"But anyways, back on track to Khalil, you really think that we can be together?" Jen asked.

"Your mom and I make it work." Jefferson said.

"You two got divorced because of your powers." Jen reminded him.

"Your mother came around to me being Black Lightning. She realized that it's who I am and I think we may be working our way towards getting remarried. In the meantime, I think that you should give Khalil a chance, since I know how much losing him hurt you." Jefferson said.

"But." Jen said.

"You should think about whether or not you want to bring Khalil into this life, because trust me, keeping him out this life won't work well if you want to have a real relationship with him. You have to be honest with him at some point." Jefferson said and Jen sighed, but she nodded.

"I know you're right, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it." Jen said and Jefferson nodded.

"These powers come with both advantages and pitfalls. You just need to decide if they're worth taking." Jefferson said and Jen nodded.

"I'm sorry, I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear." Jefferson said, but Jen smiled.

"Actually, you've helped more than you realize. Thanks dad. Now, I also need to talk to Uncle Gambi about something." Jen said.

"That's fine. I need to go check in with your mom and Anissa, see if they've had any luck triggering Anissa's meta gene." Jefferson said.

"Oh please let me come." Jen said.

"So you can blast her, no." Jefferson said.

"Oh come on, the adrenaline rush should be more than enough to kickstart Anissa's powers if nothing does. And if she doesn't have her powers in this reality, then I can hold it over her head that I kept my powers, while she's just a human." Jen said and Jefferson chuckled.

"We'll call you if we get that desperate." Jefferson said and Jen nodded as he walked out.

"So, what do you need kiddo?" Gambi asked as he walked back into the room.

"I need you to track down Dr. Jace." Jen said.

"I'm already working on that. But why are you interested in that?" Gambi asked.

"A friend of mine from the old earth, Brandon, came here to Freeland to kill her." Jen said.

"Why? I can't say I blame him, but why?" Gambi asked.

"The same reason Dad wants to put Tobias Whale in the ground. Jace killed Brandon's mother. Performed experiments on her that gave Brandon powers, but at the same time, they caused his mother to start breaking down from the inside. He wants justice." Jen said.

"I'll see what I can do. I'll also see if I can track this Brandon down. Got anything that can help me?" Gambi asked.

"Well his powers are earth based." Jen began.

"That should definitely help. Any other details?" Gambi asked.

"He's black, has dreads." Jen said.

"I'll see what I can do." Gambi said and Jen nodded.

"I want to have that J'onn guy restore Brandon's memories too. I think he'd make a good addition to the team." Jen said and Gambi smiled.

"Talk to your father about that one." Gambi said.

"I will once I find him. Make sure that he doesn't do something that he'll end up regretting." Jen said and Gambi nodded in agreement.
