The Revealed can no longer hide at a headquarters. Their identities are being leaked by the government – splashed all over the news. They are forced to integrate into society and blend, hiding in small groups.
When the government announces they have discovered a way to reverse the surgery, Lily knows she must do whatever is necessary to cure Kai. Without another option, she gives herself up to her father, agreeing to be cured – but only after she finds Kai, and they perform the reversal surgery on him first.
Lily tracks Kai, but he finds her first. He takes her to a small cabin on the outskirts of the capitol and tries to convince her to stay with him. He argues that they could be the most powerful couple in the world. He wants to allow the government to cure all of the soldiers and the Revealed. Then he and Lily would be the only two with abilities left on the planet. When she refuses, he holds her against her will. He will not allow her to turn him over to the North American sector.
But Lily goes behind his back and is able to contact The Revealed. Kai is apprehended and turned over to the government.
Lily knows she also must hold up her end of the deal with her father. Against the objections of the remaining free Revealed, she gives herself over to her father. At the facility, she is allowed to see Kai, to confirm that he is okay.
He’s had the reversal surgery. But when he sees her, he tries to fight, telling them they can’t perform the surgery on Lily. He insists that the Revealed only have the best interest of the world in mind. He tries to break her from the facility, but fails. They bring Lily to the operation room and put her under anesthesia.
When she wakes up, her father is standing over her. He tells her to get up and leave. He couldn’t bring himself to go perform the surgery on Lily because he knew it was against her will. With tears in his eyes, he tells her to go.
Lily returns to The Revealed, knowing that her father’s acceptance of her abilities means the rest of the nation will soon follow.
One year later, The Revealed have integrated into society and started working with the government. Lily exits the capitol building, after speaking with Congress. A car pulls up, and Kai exits.
He tosses her the key and says, “Let’s take that drive.”
Lily gets into the car, and they head onto the highway out of town.
