Plot[]
Escalation[]
Under Orrin's orders, she appears onto the roof of Lovun Prison alongside her partner Liam, with him going through the sewer system to kill Terrence to prevent him from leaking out information. [1]
Division[]
She was later seen when Orrin explains to both her and Liam about the conversion technology obtained during one of their missions. The two end up taking the ability from Melvin, a high-tier who Orrin kidnapped and killed. [2]
During Seraphina's and John's ability recovery session, she was tasked to keep watch on the two disabled high-tiers by Orrin. [3] Luckily for Orrin, his suspicions would be confirmed as they tried to steal the recovery machine with the aid of Kayden. After seeing through Kayden guise as a fake scientist, she successfully used Melvin's ability to disable him. [4] Unfortunately, Seraphina woke up in time and knocked her to the wall temporary disabling her. However due to the fact that only half of her ability was returned to her, Seraphina was not able to knock her out. Candice was then able to fight and defeat Seraphina with the help of her clones and Melvin's ability. [5]
Unfortunately for her, John who was enraged by his failure of his mission decided to destroy the recovery machine. While it has not been confirmed if she was reliant on it, she was still upset and enraged by John's defiance and attempted to attack him before he left. [6]
Rebellion[]
Her next assignment is to stop the two intruders from Authorities, partnering Liam again. The two arrived just in time to stop their foes from escaping the facility. She called out Rein, the new recruit, for betraying Spectre. The latter retorted, claiming she was being held against her will by their organization, and intend to double-cross them to get her freedom back, before launching an attack on the agents. Before her spider legs could land on Liam and Candice, Rein suffered a terrible headache. Seconds later, Orrin successfully took her over.[7]
With Arlo and Kassandra still under the effect of dampener from earlier, as well as Rein being force-controlled to fight them, Liam and Candice easily side-stepped the slashes directed against them. On the other hand, their counter-attack pushed Arlo into a corner, despite being reinforced by his Barrier. Kassandra attempted to persuade Liam and Candice to turn their back against Orrin, but their boss scoffed at her mind games. He told her that such offer were familiar for the two, and won't do them any favors. Arlo and Kassandra were on their last legs, making it easier for Orrin to grab the duo. Before he could land the final blow on them, the dampener expired, and the officers used this opportunity to knock him out. Candice retaliated, but Arlo's Barrier was strong enough this time to reflect the damage back on her. Kassandra managed to slash her and Liam, only for Spectre's reinforcements to arrive and back them up. Just when they charged forward, Authorities also made it to the battlefield.[8]
Valerie, the chief of the cavalry, protected the officers with her own Barrier. Candice wondered when do the two contacted Authorities, considering they were kept occupied. Together with her fellow agents, she attempted to break through the shield to no avail. One of the suits leapt above it to blow the agents away. She watched on as three of her colleagues were taken down. Realizing the sheer difference in power, Orrin ordered Liam and Candice to bolt it out of there. He was also forced to abandon his control on Rein and made his own get away.[9]
Ability[]
Duplication: She is shown to be able to create and manipulate clones of herself. So far, she has been seen creating 3 clones of herself, these clones will replicate the same appearance and "ability" that the original has. Coupled with being augmented by Strength and Speed, she is a force to reckon with.

Notes & Trivia[]
- Candice is the seventh confirmed high-tier, after Rei, Remi, Lennon, Cecile, Keon, Blyke and Melvin . She is the third strongest of these eight falling just behind Rei and Remi.
- Is probable that she, along with her coworker, Liam, needs the recovery machine, given her reaction and attempted attack when John destroyed it.[10]
