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. Exp Awards: Paladin
