Frost freezes the collars to shut them off temporarily, allowing Yuki to phase everyone out of them. Meanwhile, Elixir continually heals the frostbite damage. Mindfuck also numbs the pain for Nova, Yuki, and Mariana (she'd do it for Hunter too, but he previously implanted the mind-shielding metal into his skull, so her powers don't work on him).

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the flashback of book 3, Hunter stops two Russian S7 operatives from killing dozens of Thai protesters.

But now they assume Americans are on their side and will come out in larger numbers. And Hunter won't be there to help them again.
