Zander nodded at Keith's plan, but as soon as she was about to use her Super Speed to go get Allie, the Anarchist pulled out a white box and pressed a button on it, which shook the whole building. The ceiling began to crumble, pieces falling, and before she knew it, she felt the Anarchist zip by, his Super Speed far faster than hers. She stood and brushed her self off, feeling the shaking of the building, and knew it was going to collapse. "Keith, come on!" Zander screamed, helping the young man to his feet, hoping he hadn't been knocked out. No way was she strong enough to carry him down three flights of stairs. She tried feeling for a pulse, and, while it was there, he had definitely been knocked out. His gun lay on the crumbling floor, and Zander knew they had to get out. Crouching down and lifting the young man over her shoulder, she grunted. "You owe me so much for this." she mumbled, gritting her teeth trying to support the weight. And then, the floor started giving out.
Zander ran as fast as her Super Speed would let her, using the dusty footprints left in the rubble to track the Anarchist's movements. Running away, she could hear the building collapse behind her, a cloud of smoke billowing above her. Following the trail, she hoped she wouldn't have to run for long. She could only run for a few minutes full speed when she wasn't weighed down. But now, with a 100-something pound weight, she wasn't sure how long she could keep up the pace. Finally, after a few minutes, she heard groaning come from Keith. Stopping and panting, she set him down and spoke. "Keith, Keith, are you there? Wake up!" She said loudly, trying to arouse him from his knocked-out state. Looking around, she noticed they were now in the suburbs, and she had lost the trail. Zander stood and looked around at the rows of houses, knowing her friend was waiting in one of them, probably in an underground bunker, hoping for rescue. She nudged Keith with her foot. "Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty. We've got some searching to do."

Peter watched Andrew bring the girl in. He smiled. "Nice job, man." He congratulated his friend, watching Eclipse to see what her next move would be. She walked over to the girl, who had long white hair and dust covering her clothes, and reached out to her, touching her cheek. The girl awoke suddenly, then screamed. "KEITH! ZANDER!" she cried, then began thrashing. Andrew was too slow, and the girl fell out of his arms onto the floor, immediately activating her Invisibility. But before she could scurry away, Eclipse reached down and grabbed her arm roughly, the girl's Invisibility breaking so she was now visible. "Nice try." Eclipse said, rolling her eyes. She then turned to Andrew. "How many more were there?" she asked. Peter took the girl from Eclipse, standing her on her feet and holding her arm behind he back so she couldn't break free again. She kept squirming, and the bandage he wore around his hand was slipping, showing his puckered pink scar. He held her arm tighter. "Stop struggling. You're not going to get hurt." he told the girl, keeping a firm grip on her arm.
