Outsiders' HQ
After helping Gemma return to normal and doing what he can to see to some of the other Outsiders' injuries, Hector Hall takes off the helmet and finds himself on a deck where he can look out at the ocean and catch his breath. It took a tremendous amount of energy to retrieve Merlynne and get past Kobra's barrier -- more than he cares to let on -- and then landing in the middle of a firefight? Simply put, he's tired.
At first, his instinct was to leave the helmet on, but then he realized that most of them have seen him without his helmet. Hell, he and Brainwave go back for years. Corrine, Caleb, Tefe, Sand ... even Detective Chimp. He's got a lot of personal connections here, more than he considered at first. And how much do you have back at the JSA, Hector? he thinks to himself. Why is he there? Both his father's and Kent Nelson's legacy? More and more, his duties draw him away from the JSA. Still ... he fought so hard for his place on the team, and for so long.
And where are the enthusiastic young kids he started with? Henry's here, Lyta's in Los Angeles. Jade and Obsidian have their own concerns right now. Al and Norda? No, out of all of the original Infinitors, he was the only one actually in the JSA right now. It means something to him. He's just not sure how to make it jibe with where he is right now.
And maybe something's got to give, he thinks.
