by the group responsible for her imprisonment by talking to their leader - a CEO named Fuyumi Fujiwaka - in she and Mickey's 'native' Japanese language - though Mickey is an American citizen by birth and why she would refer to the Japanese language as her 'native' tongue is not addressed. The fourth issue has Mickey talking with Chris about her concerns with Mattie within the support group, as well as making up for the recent tensions between them afterwards. Within the fifth issue, Mickey was almost strangled by Nekra when she was saved by a mysterious girl who called herself "Namie". Although she was terrified of dying (since she was not wearing the Turbo suit at the time), Mickey was also angered by the facts that Julie revealed the truth that she was not a registered hero and that Chris refused to remove the Darkhawk amulet from himself.

The helmet and suit are both useless without one another. The Torpedo battle suit allows Mickey
