To say Jefferson and Lynn were surprised when Anissa told them that her powers were back was an understatement, but they had to admit, they weren't jumping to dampen them like they thought that they'd be, since Anissa had clearly regained the sense of balance she'd lost while fighting the ASA, though Jefferson would still be keeping a close eye on her to make sure she didn't fall back into her bad habits.

However, first, Lynn had taken Anissa to her lab to run some tests to double check and sure enough, Lynn found that Anissa's metagene had been reactivated, which meant that once Gambi finished making her new and improved suit, Thunder was back. And luckily, thanks to his new job at Argus, Gambi now had access to an unlimited budget and some of the most state of the art tech on the planet, which meant that just like how he'd already created the new version of Jefferson's Black Lightning suit that was basically the same version the ASA had made for him in the old reality, complete with all it's new features, including being able to turn into a watch and Jen was currently wearing a similar nanotech version of the Lightning suit in Blue Valley.

Anyways, Anissa was currently standing in the newly upgraded Sanctum, since Lyla had insisted on having Argus upgrade the Sanctum with more advanced technology and none of them could a see a reason to argue with that, since even Gambi couldn't deny that the Sanctum's tech was a bit outdated, especially from what he'd heard from Jen about the JSA's Citadel, not to mention all the other superhero bases he'd heard about on this earth.

"Are you almost done?" Anissa asked Gambi as he continued to take measurements on her.

"I know this is taking awhile Anissa, but before I can make your new suit, I need to make sure I know exactly what I'm dealing with, including making sure that your powers are completely back to normal." Gambi said.

"Not to mention designing some kind of safeguards in the suit so mom and dad can keep an eye on me?" Anissa asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Can you blame them? Especially since they don't exactly trust me to keep tabs on you either, since as far as they're concerned, I encouraged and enabled you to become Blackbird and make the reckless choices that came with it and they're not wrong. They just can't control me like they can you." Gambi said.

"We both lost sight of our priorities during the occupation. Thank god Odell's in jail and Jen is safely away from him in Blue Valley." Anissa said, since she still felt guilty for abandoning her sister during the occupation.

"So she's doing well there?" Gambi asked with a smile.

"Are you kidding, I doubt she'd come home for the holidays if mom and dad aren't going to make her. Though it helps that Blackbird will never exist on this earth. There's too much temptation in being her. Thunder is a hero. Someone who's held to certain standards and has to live by them and a code. But Blackbird, she's too much freedom and loses sight of the line between hero and criminal." Anissa said.

"Good to know, since I agree. I think that without your dad here to remind us of our true mission, we lost sight of it and the same could be said about Henderson, since it wasn't until Black Lightning joined the Resistance that we began to find ourselves again." Gambi said and Anissa nodded, right as she heard her phone buzz.

"Do we have time to take a break so I can answer that?" Anissa asked and Gambi nodded with a smile as Anissa got off the platform and walked over to pick up her phone and saw it was an unknown number.

"Hey, do me a favor and trace this call." Anissa asked, her paranoia kicking in, but Gambi nodded, nonetheless as he did exactly that as Anissa answered the call.

"Hello?" Anissa asked.

"Hello Ms. Pierce. I'm speaking to you on behalf of an angel investor who heard about your community center and would like to help fund it." a man on the other end of the call said.

"Can I ask who this angel investor is?" Anissa asked, looking at Gambi who gestured to her that he was still tracing the call.

"A firm called Monovista International. It's a very large tech company that's looking to diversify its holdings." the man said.

"Tell them I'd like to speak to them in person before I agree to anything." Anissa said.

"Completely understandable. My job was just to make sure you were interested. They'll be reaching out to you to set up an actual meeting and you can bring someone with you if you'd feel more comfortable." the man said.

"Thank you. We'll be in touch." Anissa said as she hung up.

"So, what was that about?" Gambi asked.

"A company called Monovista International wants to be an angel investor for my community center and while I'm gonna take their money, can you please dig deeper into them, since there has to be some kind of hidden agenda." Anissa said.

"Done." Gambi said, since he agreed, since from what he already knew about Monovista, this seemed out of the ordinary for them to show interest in something like Anissa's community center.

"Thank you." Anissa said, though she was happy she could finally start to get her community center off the ground.
