Lightning flashes, illuminating the vast futuristic city as Mika Mara races home in the pouring rain. She hurries to her dark apartment, tossing aside the newspaper she used as a makeshift umbrella. Suddenly, a mysterious voice speaks to Mika from the darkness of her living room. Micah screams in surprise as she flicks the switch and sees a well-dressed, mysterious woman sitting on the couch. Mika wants to know who this stranger is and why she is in her house. This mysterious woman tries to calm Micah by introducing herself as Chairwoman Leblanc. She explains that she runs a government agency that most people don't even know exists and has come to Mika for help. Mika is skeptical. Why did she need her help? Leblanc looks Mika straight in the eye, telling her that she needs Mika's help to save the world.
