* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Breacher's challenge to Cisco is to survive his hunt for 24 hours without using any powers, as Breacher wouldn't be using his powers either. It was [[BerserkButton seeing a "Plastoid"]] (actually Ralph) that caused Breacher to violate his own rules, although it did stop him from chasing Cisco. And it was seeing his friends (and Ralph) in danger that finally caused Cisco man up and face him defiantly.
