I already addressed Nico and her teleporting. That's exactly why they don't need Clark there or anyone else from Hero actually. Nico alone can one shot the MC if he gets out of hand.Remember, HERO can teleport people which makes it less likely that they are behind confronting the MC at the mall with cops because they could have just sent in Clark or another operative to "talk" to the MC and then teleport him to a safe location to be dealt with. Well, unless there is some mechanic to the teleporting that makes it difficult/impossible to teleport non-HERO people.
And on the topic of teleportation, there is someone we haven't talked about who could be behind the outing of the MC and the event at the mall, Xanthe. We know he had dealings with Klaus and we know he has an agenda of his own even though he were more less responsible for creating HERO, so it's entirely possible he instigated the whole thing. We know from the discussion he had with Clark and Alexis after they killed a monster instead of tagging it that he thinks collateral damage is just fine: "Xanthe: Of course you fool. Let it kill a dozen people if you need to. Understanding these creatures is paramount. No number of individual lives is worth more than that"
Also, even if you lean into Xanthe, Nico would still be lurking since he values her a lot and would still task her to retrieve the MC.
