Back on the day of the explosion, Nathan and Peter fly high above Kirby Plaza as Peter is about to explode. Peter tries to talk Nathan into letting him go, and after a few coercions, his brother lets him fall. He explodes, causing Nathan to suffer from severe radioactive burns and to fall unconscious. Fortunately, Peter recovers and flies down to catch Nathan. They arrive at a hospital, where Peter tells the doctors to make sure Nathan will be okay. Before a cop can question him, he turns invisible and runs away.
