Luke and Joanne crash a secret meeting of evos in Chicago, where they come together to talk about what they can do in a world where they're being hunted. Luke pulls out a gun, as Joanne comes running into the meeting and they take out several evos, including one with superspeed, another that shoots fire from his body and another who can go invisible.

One night El Vengador tries to save a woman he believes is being attacked by thugs, but she turns around and shoots him in the stomach.
Carlos shows up at his brother's car shop and finds Oscar there bleeding out from the gunshot wound to the stomach. Carlos finds the mask and realizes who his brother was.
