Synopsis for "After Life"
As he is leaving Houston, Kaine sees an explosion and asks the taxi driver what's in that direction. When he answers the hospital, Kaine realizes that someone wants to hurt the girl who rescued and threw the driver out of the car rushes to her rescue. A man with pyrokinetic powers tries to kill the girl he calls Aracely, but she doesn't remember who he is. Kaine, wearing the costume, attacks the man and after a hard fight manages to win. Kaine wants to kill him, but something stops him. That night, Kaine goes to Aracely to check on her condition and the cop and the doctor he met when he took her to the hospital try to persuade him to stay in Houston by telling him that since the girl is an illegal immigrant she will probably be deported, and that the city needs a superhero. Kaine initially refuses, but then thinks about it and takes Aracely to his room at the Four Seasons, telling himself that he can finally try to have a real life and that if he can't, Mexico is close.
