   Summary

   Following his fight with Conquest Mark is drained in most every sense of the word, so of course Angstrom chooses that moment to swoop back in and force Mark from his home.

   When calls start coming in about a panic downtown, Z team is responsible for handling the bloodied teen, even after he's no longer seen as a threat. After Mark heals he joins Z team to try to find a way back home, and maybe find himself some new friends along the way.
