"So you want to make a deal with Martin Proctor?" Anissa asked Gambi in shock after he'd told her and her parents about his talk with Proctor and she could tell that her parents felt the same way about that as she did. That it was insane.

"Want is a strong word, but Proctor's offering up information that's too available to not consider." Gambi said.

"What information could possibly be worth making a deal with that lunatic for? What Tobias isn't enough for you old man?" Jefferson asked him.

"He's offering up information about the briefcase Tobias stole from the ASA in the old reality and it sounds like it serves the same function in this one and now I know what that function is." Gambi said.

"What could be so important about a damn briefcase?" Anissa asked, still thinking her uncle was out of his mind.

"According to Proctor, that case is the master control to the ASA's entire metahuman operation. It has every little detail about what the ASA was up to, maybe how the program was started. It's too valuable to leave in the wind." Gambi said.

"I hate to say it, but he's right. That intel is too valuable to leave in the wind." Jefferson said and Lynn nodded.

"That information could help me come up with a new stabilization serum that doesn't require Tobias's bone marrow to make, since this time he's taken down, I never want him to see the outside of his cell again." Lynn said.

"I guess that information is too dangerous to leave in the wrong hands. Especially since I'm guessing that's how Tobias learned about the masters of disaster before. Thankfully Dr. Jace cooperated and Aunt Lyla is having Argus transfer those pods out of my clinic as we speak." Anissa said.

"And you're hoping that the case might have information on Grace if they've come in contact with her." Lynn said, knowing her daughter too well.

"I thought that once I got my powers back, then maybe this void in my life would be filled, but it's not. Even becoming Thunder and Blackbird again wouldn't help, because this void existed since I had to let Grace go to protect her from the ASA in the old reality." Anissa said.

"Because you love her." Jefferson said and Anissa nodded.

"Which is why I want to tell her our secret when we find her. Not about the old reality, but about us being metahumans. After all, she's a meta too." Anissa said and both of her parents smiled.

"And she's the one person we'll let you tell, since she's basically family already, but you should make sure that she loves you in this reality, since she won't remember what you two had in the old one." Jefferson advised and Anissa nodded.

"You're right, I got ahead of myself. But I've been using Uncle Gambi's setup to search the whole city for her, but since she's a shapeshifter, it's proving to be difficult." Anissa said.

"Anissa, I promise we will find her. Though I was surprised that you asked your Aunt Lyla, since she can't exactly use Argus resources for personal matters." Lynn said.

"Normally she doesn't, but Aunt Lyla agreed that since Grace is a metahuman shapeshifter, she's worth making an exception for, though Argus isn't having much luck either." Anissa said.

"We'll find her eventually. You just have to have hope that if things are meant to be, you'll find your way back to her." Jefferson said and Anissa smiled at him thankfully.

"Speaking of Thunder, we've been talking and I think you've earned this back." Gambi said as he handed Anissa a watch.

"Wait, are you serious?" Anissa asked with a grin, since she didn't think her parents would really let her suit up again this soon.

"You've proven to us that we can trust you. You've earned the right to be Thunder again. But no Blackbird. The moment she shows up is the moment that watch becomes a power dampener." Jefferson told her.

"I told you, Blackbird is retired. I'm not gonna lose myself in her again." Anissa promised.

"To activate the suit, densitize and then snap your fingers." Gambi said and Anissa nodded as she did exactly that and while her suit materialized, she was very happy to see that she'd gotten an upgrade, since now her suit was a bright purple.

"I like the new look." Thunder said and Gambi smiled.

"I thought that purple was more your color." Gambi said.

"You were right. Now it's time to get back in the game." Thunder said and Jefferson grinned as he summoned his own Black Lightning suit so they could get back in the field together.
