Billy goes back to his hotel and is met by his sister Mary, who heard the news. Sivana then comes in, the two transform, but he says he wants to help them against the Martian. Mary flies him to his lab for a weapon he claims he has invented to fight the Martians. He says he needs lightning to power the weapon so Mary turns back. However Sivana then gags her from behind, binds her hand and foot, and reveals the machine is a fake, kicking it apart. Captain Marvel is told by the Martians they have captured Sivana and Mary.
