Mom, no, please!

Lauren Validus and Blair
Hunter were first sighted over

Deep Creek Lake in Oakland, Maryland in July 2024.

As of now, in November 2025,

they have officially been
declared global existential threats.

I... I don't understand. I knew them.

For a year, they just kept to themselves,

and now they started killing people?

Some breaking news tonight

out of Washington.

The President has declared a
national emergency following the

destruction of another major city.

Lauren Validus and Blair Hunter have
proven immune to all conventional weaponry,

including hydrogen force and
remote methods of mind control.

I mean, she was just flying
around lasering buildings!

There was nothing anyone could've done!

I can't believe it took this long for
people to realize they were bad news.

This is Samantha Ryan.

The CTF has now been disbanded.

The power that they have, it's...
it's insane! T-they need to stopped!

I heard it was Danny Malloy and the
Covert Task Force that made her angry.

Due to many viewing them as divine,

a cult-like following has formed,

while others have joined out of fear for their lives.

This is Sean Albright. Look, Blair isn't even a bad guy.

He visited in January.

We just talked.

A group calling themselves The
Spanners, have claimed responsibility for

the execution of seven more alleged cult members.

Event: Fallen Angel now
qualifies as a terminal event.

A condition under which survival of the
human population can no longer be guaranteed.

So in accordance with the
top global leaders and myself,

effective immediately, global governments
will cease strategic operations and

transition to civilian support and
final phase humanitarian coordination.

We advise to use this time to be with loved ones,

maintain dignity, seek peace, help others.

May we meet this moment with courage,

and may God help us all.

[coughing]

I'll be back.

[transmission begins]

If anyone out there is hearing this,

The Spanners have fallen.

I repeat, The Spanner Resistance has fallen.

Lauren Validus, she...

she came.

[heavy sigh]

I realize now that all this time,

we were never surviving.

She was merely letting us live.

I don't know what we were thinking.

This is a being that isn't restrained
by any basic physical laws,

and before coming here,
destroyed her own universe and

everyone in it in the very palm of her hand.

So despite the hope that we once had,

I think it's time to conclude that
there's simply nothing more we can do.

And if you look up and see Lauren
Validus, and even Blair Hunter...

don't run. It won't help.

Over,

and goodbye.

[transmission ends]

[coughing from other room]

I found them.

Who?

Lauren and Blair?

The Innovations.

The Innovations?

Why?

Adrienne, your body's degrading
a lot sooner than we thought.

And I know

obviously you said there's
no cure, but I just thought that

if anyone knows how to help you,
it'd be the ones who did this to you.

So I'm gonna pay Frost a
visit, and I'm gonna see if there's

anything he can do.

What? What's wrong?

It's just...

I've actually made peace with all of this.

You know?

The last that I spoke to Frost, um,

he said that there was nothing that he could do.

And who knows if that's still the truth, but it's just...

it's just like with Connor.

You know, I'd finally come to
terms with all of it and then a

super-powered version of himself
from an alternate universe pops up.

I understand.

I don't know, I just thought it's been a couple years,

maybe they found something.

But if you don't want me to go, all right.

I won't. But I...

but I think at least it's worth a shot.

Can I think about it?

Yeah, of course.

[music]

Let's do it.

What changed your mind?

I guess it's worth a shot.

So much for not killing anyone.

Oh, cheer up.

I'm just kidding.

You can do what you want.

Sorry.

I'm just tired.

You know, I really like what we did here.

I think it might be time for us to finally move on.

Really?

Mhm. That being said though,

I need to make sure this planet can't regrow its wings.

So I need someone to stay and
watch after it to make sure that

doesn't happen as soon as we leave.

I mean, um,

I can stay if, if...

if you want.

We'll see.

I need a leader.

Well, I'll um...

I'll do whatever you need me to do.

In the meantime, I think you should go patrol.

How's that been going, by the way?

You haven't reported back to
me any good news that's been...

interesting.

Hm?

Um...

It's... it's been good, just...

quiet, that's all.

Mm.

Mhm.

I swear.

Okay, well, go on then.

Go! Shoo!

[gun clicks]

Heading out?

Yeah.

Be careful.

Always.

Don't worry.

Unless I run into one of them,
I shouldn't have any trouble.

Eh.

There's a reason why they didn't kill you before,

and still haven't.

I wouldn't worry about them.

Well, it wasn't out of the goodness
of their hearts, that's for sure.

You know, two years ago when

they first arrived,

seeing his face...

that would've shattered anyone,

but not you.

You've handled it so well.

I want you to know that I'm proud of you.

[distant thunder]

I can say the same for you.

It hit me hard at first, for sure.

But I just keep telling myself that,

at the end of the day,

he's just a variant.

You sure you're gonna be okay here?

Of course.

[distant thunder]

Well,

I'll be back in a few days.

Hey.

Thank you.

Don't eat all the food.

[chuckles]

[rain]

Honestly,

it's been safer with you flying around.

Wait, it has?

Mhm.

You're scaring everyone.

Ah.

The scavengers are too afraid to come out.

Glad I'm at least good for something.

Stop it.

[laughs]

You know,

I think it is a good thing.

You staying,

and her possibly leaving.

It's not gonna matter whether

I stay or not.

She's just gonna move on to another universe, and it's...

not gonna stop there.

Hm.

I don't wanna do this anymore,

Abby. I...

I really don't.

Have you tried

standing up to her?

Bad idea.

Well, maybe that's exactly what

she wants you to think.

Look, you...

You know what we are.

What... what she is.

Remember Athaliah told me that

I'd slowly grow into what I could do.

And...

even then, I can only hope I'll ever become

a fraction of what Lauren currently is, so...

...yeah.

Bad idea.

Blair,

a few months ago,

when those men were trying to hurt me,

she was flying overhead,

she could've -

she could've kept going.

But she didn't.

She stopped.

And thank goodness,

because

who knows what would've happened to me if she hadn't.

And then you,

you came and took me home.

Look, I know that you've told me who

she is and what she's done,

but the fact that she saved me...

Well, it shows that -

it means that maybe there is a

chance for you to get through
to her, for you to change her.

Maybe?

I wish that were the case.

But it's not.

She's a lost cause, and

to be frank...

...I am too.

I don't know if this is my place,

but from what you've told me,

she's vulnerable,

and so are you.

So, don't give up on her,

Just as

I don't plan on giving up on you.

Thank you.

Really.

You bet.

Look buddy, you're on our time.

You said you wanted to speak with us, so here we are.

Right.

So, um... what exactly are you two?

I wish we knew.

Although I find it kind of funny that
we've found multiple versions of him,

but none of me.

Okay...

and we know that universes are infinite in size.

Is it true that you really did destroy your own,

so you made your way to ours?

Mhm.

And a few others by accident.

This one's lucky it didn't get hit.

[gunshots]

[cough]

[sounds of "Event: Fallen Angel"]

Come on.

You're gonna love this.

So I've been thinking.

Remember you said that you'd

stay and watch the planet for me?

Well, I figured that this would
be a perfect opportunity to see if

you're still up for it.

I want you to kill her.

Right now.

Come on.

Kill her.

Okay.

If you don't wanna do it,

then I will.

Blair.

Abby...

It's okay.

It's okay.

You have to.

I can't.

I can't...

I can't.

You have to.
No...

I love you.

I love you...

I love you too.

I love you too -

Abby...

Abby...

Abby...

[rain]

[whoosh]

Hi.

Can we talk?

Please, she...

she doesn't know I'm here.

I promise.

Are you okay?

Who's he?

That's Connor.

We were about your age in those photos.

Is he still around?

The whole thing kind of went down

before you showed up.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Thanks.

Sure.

So, what's up?

I have nowhere else to go.

Are you okay?

Did she hurt you?

Always.

You're closest to her.

If there's anyone that knows of
any weaknesses, it would be you.

What can we do?

You'd think.

You two

really have no idea what you are, do you?

She doesn't...

...but I do.

Really?

Lauren is...

she's from a race of beings called Sovereignians.

I...

sort of am.

When I was 15, I was out with my friend Chloe

when all of a sudden my
vision just flashed to white and

when I came to, I was in this place and no one

was around, but it was... it was warm and peaceful.

Within moments, I...

wanted to stay there forever.

And I finally sat down,

and then off to the side standing next to me

was this girl with beautiful
golden hair in a white dress.

And

I was afraid,

but she told me, "at ease," and

told me her name was Athaliah,
The Messenger of Sovereignia.

She explained to me where I was, who they were, and,

and said that the Sovereignians
wanted to start helping people,

you know, the people of the lower planes

starting with Earth. Well, my Earth.

So that's what they tried to do.

26 years ago, they sent a child into a
woman's womb with one of their own.

A girl.

They called her Aeterna,

Daughter of Sovereignia.

Lauren.

Yeah.

They'd hoped she could grow up
somewhat human without feeling

disconnected from them, which is why
she was born without omniscience and which

was also why her powers came in later as well.

So much good that did.

So,

where do you come in?

I'd already known who Lauren was 'cause she...

she was on the news a few times as I was growing up.

But

Athaliah said that she needed somebody.

And

she said that because I was
"kind and innocent" at heart that

I could help heal her and
set her back on the right path,

be a companion to her.

She said they were going to give us time and I guess
they still are because she said if it didn't work,

they'd erase her

and

potentially even me from existence.

And I'm gonna be honest,

I don't think either of us would mind if that happened.

And...

and you didn't tell her any of this?

Why?

I don't know.

Maybe it's because I'm scared of what she'll do
if she finds out what she's really capable of.

I just can't do this anymore.

Always sad.

At ease.

Your presence,

I've felt it before.

Who are you?

Lauren Validus.

You did it.

You're the most powerful person in the world.

You've gotten everything you've
ever wanted, but yet you're...

you're still so very unhappy even though
people quiver at the very mention of your name.

Both you and your mother -

Watch it.

I'd be very careful with what you say next.

All that she has ever said to you has never been true.

I'm very sorry for all that you've gone through,

but you've let her words consume you,

and this void that you try to fill?

It will only continue to grow deeper.

That's not very careful.

Now I'm gonna ask again,

why are you here?

To warn you.

While it is true that
absolutely nothing can hurt you;

your body has become completely invulnerable.

However, your weakness
does not lie within your power,

but within your heart.

But that's a good thing.

That means you can change.

It means that you can do the right thing and
find the joy that you so desperately seek.

But this is your last chance.

If you continue to harden your heart...

we cannot help you.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Now, I'm gonna ask again.

Who -

Just saw Adrienne.

She, uh...

really wants to try putting
the world back together, huh?

Yeah.

It's one of her goals.

She can't really do that with your friend around.

Right.

Why were you with her?

I kinda needed it.

But I was actually looking for you.

Why?

Lauren sent me.

They're, um...

they're gone, you know.

Who?

The ones you're looking for.

You're lying.

Last year.

Frost couldn't quite get that
this world was no longer his, so

Lauren... didn't really like that.

I'm surprised you never heard.

I'm sorry.

It's not over yet, though.

What do you mean?

Lauren and I are leaving soon,

and she wants a leader,

someone that can keep this
planet on its knees for us - for her.

She concluded that you and Adrienne
are the best leaders that she knows.

She sent me to tell you that if you help her,

become the leaders that she needs,

then she'll cure her.

She can do that?

And so much more.

She said you could think about it.

You have until morning, then meet us at the agency.

Guess it's not like you have another option, huh?

And if we refuse?

Do you even have to ask?

Want a lift back?

I'm good.

Thanks.

Just...

tell her yes.

Please.

For your sakes.

I've been meaning to do that.

How are you?

Are you okay?

I have news.

Wow.

It's your call.

But it'd be deal with the devil, though.

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Are you sure?

100 percent.

I'm not signing up to hurt other
people in order to save myself.

Okay.

[sigh]

I'm sorry, Adrienne.

Don't be.

Thank you for trying.

So, now what?

In the morning, she'll find us...

and that'll be it.

I'll go.

What?

I'll go.

Danny.

I'll be the one to tell her.

No. No!

Adrienne
Absolutely not!

It's my decision and I'll be the
one to tell her. You stay here.

And I don't know, I'll-I'll explain something but I'll
just tell her it's my decision, that you can't do this.

It's my decision, not yours,
so I will be the one to tell her.

You are not strong enough.

Blair isn't even strong enough.

You are just asking for a death wish by doing that.

If we walked there,

we would both be in

a death trap.

And I am not going to watch you die, Adrienne.

I am not going to get you killed. I am not.

I'm-I'm gonna die either way, just-just, no!

I'm going to die either way so just let me,

don't go out and get yourself killed because of me!

Adrienne.

I'm not letting that happen.

You know what Connor would want?

He'd want you to stay here.

This is what he would've done for you, too.

Don't say that... don't bring that up.

We can't stay here, Adrienne.

We both can't stay here.

She will want an answer and

if we don't go there, she will come to us.

So I have to go.

No, no... no! You don't! Danny...

I'm not letting you go alone.

So we can...

we can stay here for a bit and then we can
find somewhere else to hide and it will,

at the very least, it will prolong
her and it'll buy us some time and

we can find something, we can find someone that
knows something, a way to like, defeat her,

or we can just find another option.

It doesn't matter where we go, Adrienne.

It does not matter where we...

You're not doing this.

I'm not letting you do this.

We're gonna stay here,

just for a bit,

or we find somewhere else and

we're gonna talk about our options.

Okay?

You're right.

We'll do what we've always done,

and we'll stay strong... together.

Yeah?

[music]

[sonic booms]

Not sure what you think that's gonna do.

Well,

are you in?

Or are you out?

The answer's no.

You guys talked about this,

right?

Thoroughly.

Is this really what you want?

This entire planet could be yours and
she could be healthy, safe and sound.

Why?

Why would you pass that up?

Why?

Why?!

Lauren, look around.

Look at what you've done.

You murdered billions of people,

Countless women... and children.

And the rest, like me,

you left to suffer in a world that you tore apart.

And no one was there for those children that you -

And no one was there for me!

But no one cares about that...

right?

I'm sorry for whatever you've been through, Lauren.

I truly am.

But that does not justify what you've done,

nor will it ever.

Your funeral.

Lauren...

please.

Let go of me, now.

No more.

After Chloe killed herself,

you came crawling to me,

alone

with no family.

And I took you in,

even after you lied to me over, and over, and over!

Let me go, now,

or I'll make sure that you die with him.

Fine.

My funeral.

[gasping]

[gasping worsens]

I was wrong.

You are her.

You always have been...

and you always will be.

I know.

[cough]

[whoosh]

All the scars that you carried,

are on the hands that hold you now.

Goodbye...

Danny.

Come on.

We've got work to do.

[whoosh]

Hi.

You're Brynn, right?

Brynn Meskimen?

Yeah, and you're... Blair, right?

Yeah, I uh -

I'm just kidding, I know who you are.

Athaliah said we'd be meeting soon.

Well, I um...

I see you've learned to fly sooner than I did.

Must be a quick learner.

NO. Oh my goodness, no.

I... I suck.

I definitely need more practice.

Want some help?

[radio] Today marks exactly one month
since the disappearance of Blair Hunter.

He was last seen in Naples
having dinner with Brynn Meskimen,

Many are comparing this case to when
Lauren Validus went missing last August,

questioning whether the
two cases could potentially

be related.

Despite most of the world being fully operational,

officials around the globe
have discovered no traces as to

what, or who could be behind
these mysterious disappearances.

Some are already pointing to the mysterious
return of 22-year-old Abby Thompson,

who claims she was close to Hunter before
she was allegedly murdered by Validus.

When we return, global official Adrienne
Forrest will be joining us to discuss

how she and her team will
respond to Hunter's disappearance.
