Like the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, the military had stationed people nearby in advance. Now that they had a chance to kick their enemies while they were down, they certainly wouldn't pass it up.
Strangely, when the military reached the battlefield, they couldn't find a single fleeing ability user. Even the satellites showed no trace of them.
Why? Wasn't it obvious? Andrew had sent people to deal with those ability users ahead of time. What a joke. These people wanted to touch Andrew's spoils? In their dreams.
Leaving that aside for now, Soldier Boy climbed back onto his motorcycle and headed for Vought Tower with Billy, Madelyn, and the others.
Meanwhile, people from the Vought Pharmaceutical Company used the highest-level access to Vought International's servers and prepared to delete all the data.
Andrew had already prepared for this. A young Black boy stood before a computer with his hand on its main unit. Not only were the Vought Pharmaceutical Company's people unable to delete the data, they were being hacked in return.
The young Black boy wasn't the only one hacking the Vought Pharmaceutical Company. Andrew's artificial intelligence was doing it too. The company's internal systems had always been kept offline. Now that he had a chance to investigate, Andrew naturally wouldn't let it slip away.
The Vought Pharmaceutical Company's network engineers soon detected the intrusion and immediately pulled the network cables. Andrew cursed. Unplugging the cables? How utterly classless.

This boy was DL and Nicky's son. His ability allowed him to control electrical devices, including computers
