Synopsis:

Kate Spencer finally recognises the waiter she met recently - it is a man called Rich, who used to be a 'tech guy' for an assortment of super-villains. She tracks him down in his new identity - Dylan Battles, and tries to persuade him t help her in her new activities as Manhunter. Initially, he is not interested, but when he returns from his meeting with Kate, his wife assumes she was a ladyfriend of his, and leaves him, along with their son. Somewhat excited, though a little guilty about feeling this way, he calls Kate and agrees to her plan.
