The battle at Racks continues. The Brooklyn Brigade discovers they have unexpected help fighting the Conquerors, members of The Minute Man are there. Dollar Bill, Dollar Girl, Hooded Justice, Captain Metropolis, and The Comedian. Wyvern was sent outside with the component of the Hopewell device to get him away from the mentalist (Kismet). Kismet went outside to press whatever advantage Ankylosaur seems to think being a mentalist provides over Wyvern. Paladin, Air Burst, and Atticus arrive late to the fight but quickly join the fray. Air Burst and Paladin battled Neutron and Ankylosaur. Mighty Girl fought valiantly against Arc, while The Minute Men, Atticus, and Kismet fought Wyvern outside. Mighty Girl fell to the mega-volt villain Arc who then joined forces with Ankylosaur and Neutron. Air Burst was getting the worse end of the deal from Neutron but continued to banter keeping the other two villains focused on him so that Paladin could work on whittling them down. Arc was preparing a lethal power surge to eliminate Paladin when Lynn Bernhart, one of the bar tenders, dumped a pitcher of water on Arc causing him to short out temporarily. Arc and Neutron were eventually overwhelmed by Air Burst, Paladin, and Lynn Ankylosaur got away. Wyvern was defeated by Kismet, Atticus, and the Minute Men but as he falls to Earth the Hopewell fragment is destroyed. Dollar Bill is upset by its destruction but quickly composes himself and calls the police for pickup and containment. The Comedian placed a live grenade in Wyvern's mouth with the pin pulled. Air Burst rushed over to prevent it's exploding because of the number of innocent people around him. Air Burst chastises him but The Comedian does not seem to care, not about the danger he put bystanders in nor Air Burst's scathing remarks and threats (if he ever did it again). The Comedian head to his car calling for the other Minute Men to follow. As Paladin gets Lynn's number Albert Christen Benjamin, the owner of the Hopewell device fragment, starts talking to him about the device. He belittles super heroes as being brainless brawn as he also explains the device destroyed in the fight with Wyvern was a fake. The real part is in his safe back at his hotel room. Mr. Benjamin gets a receipt for the device and surrenders it into care of the Brigade. Neutron, Wyvern, and Arc were taken into custody by Lt. House of PART.
