Monica will become the vigilante known as St. Joan.	In Fight or Flight, Micah compares Monica's ability to that of "St. Joan" in issue #10 of the comic series 9th Wonders!, which was published by Isaac Mendez until his death in .07%. On at least one occasion, events depicted in 9th Wonders! came true at an earlier or later date. In Truth and Consequences Micah identifies her as such	+ Monica has already had an encounter with the criminal element of New Orleans (The Kindness of Strangers). Should she decide to become a vigilante, she already has potential "targets". She was hesitant to take a stand before, so if she does use her powers to fight crime, it makes sense that she would do so in disguise, to protect her family. + Monica has already gained the ability to defend herself simply from watching a few seconds of wrestling and a Bruce Lee movie. + St. Joan on the cover of 9th Wonders! is completely shrouded in shadow. However, a distinguishing feature of this illustration is her shoes, which are clearly visible. Later, the camera focuses on Monica's shoes while she is jumping rope, which are the same as St. Joan's. + When Bob takes Monica home, he gives her an iPod full of information she can watch and absorb and comments that New Orleans "could use a little amazing." (The Line) + In Run!, Micah asked his parents, "shouldn't we be fighting crime or something?" Perhaps he will push Monica into vigilantism, becoming her "techno-sidekick". + When Peter and Caitlin travel to Future New York at the end of The Line, a billboard is seen in the background that depicts St. Joan. + The comic book depicting St. Joan could be another of Isaac's future drawings, showing Monica as St. Joan. + Micah identifies her as such when she wakes him up to go get his father's medal back.
Monica's iPod is bugged.	None	+ The Company might want to take tabs on what she learns and what she does. - That version of the iPod has no way of obtaining internet. + Neither do people, but radio isotopes seem to work pretty well on them. + Furthermore, the Company could easily have modified the iPod. Even without modifying the existing electronics, a wireless bug could easily be hidden within the casing with little difficulty. If the existing electronics are modified, it would not need to have a very long range, as it could record data and simply transmit it to a hidden receiver somewhere the Company knows she will regularly go (her home, for instance).
