GRR--YAAAH!

[HONK]

GOOD GOIN', STATIC.

YOU MISSED A WHOLE NIGHT'S SLEEP

JUST TO GET YOUR BUTT WHUPPED.

YOU CUT THAT TOO CLOSE, GIRL.

I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GET HURT.

FORGET HIM, NIGHTINGALE!

IT'S US YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT.

LET HER GO, FADE.

I TRIPPED THE ALARM,

SO STATIC WAS MY FAULT.

WHAT, YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME?

PATHETIC.

I LEAVE YOU INFANTS ALONE FOR ONE NIGHT

AND Y'ALL CAN'T BEHAVE.

NO WONDER YOU NEED ME TO RUN THINGS.

GET THE DIAMONDS?

YEAH, BUT WE HAD TO TANGLE WITH STATIC.

YOU SWIPED THE MICROCHIPS?

YOU EVEN NEED TO ASK?

NOW LET'S GO SEE IF BRAIN BOY

REALLY KNOWS HOW TO USE THIS STUFF.

YO, BRICK...

THANKS.

PSSH! WHATEVER.

JUST DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK.

AAAH! AAH!

THE DIAMONDS.

NO...NO...

AH, PERFECT.

SEE HOW IT REFRACTS THE BEAM?

NOW WATCH.

TECH, IS THAT THE STUFF?

YES. DARK MATTER.

NO LIGHT CAN PASS THROUGH IT AT ALL.

I ALREADY CAN MAKE THAT.

BUT ONLY IN LIMITED QUANTIES.

SOON, WE'LL BE ABLE TO SYNTHESIZE MUCH, MUCH MORE.

WE ONLY NEED ONE LAST THING

TO PUT MY PLAN INTO ACTION,

BUT WE GOTTA BE CAREFUL.

NOW THAT STATIC'S ON TO YOU,

HE WON'T REST UNTIL HE FINDS YOU AGAIN.

[SNORING]

Gear: YO, STATIC!

HUH? WHAT?

YOU FELL ASLEEP AGAIN,

JUST LIKE YOU DID IN CHEMISTRY CLASS.

OH. SORRY.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT LIGHTING

A BUNSEN BURNER THIS TIME.

[YAWNS] I GUESS I'M NOT CUT OUT

FOR THESE ALL-NIGHTERS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW BATMAN DOES IT.

EH, IN REAL LIFE, HE'S PROBABLY SOME RICH GUY

WHO GETS TO SLEEP ALL DAY--

[GASPS] HE IS,

COME ON, YOU KNOW!

I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING.

[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

UH-OH. IT'S A METAHUMAN APB.

WHERE ARE THEY?

[BEEPING]

Gear: THE DAKOTA NUCLEAR REACTOR.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU DROP FROM THIS HEIGHT

AND YOU REALLY WILL BE A GHOST.

NIGHTINGALE!

NOT THIS TIME, GIRLFRIEND.

hfh~ OHH!

UNH!

HA HA HA HA HA!

HUH?

UNHHF!

Ebon: STEP RIGHT IN.

AAH! AAAH!

EBON!

HOW WOULD YOU TWO SAPS LIKE A ONE-WAY TRIP

TO THE CORE OF THIS NUCLEAR REACTOR?

[STATIC GRUNTS]

ADIOS, SUCKERS.

WHAT? NO, NO.

NIGHTINGALE, STOP IT!

WE'VE GOT ALL WE NEED, EBON.

JUST GET US OUT OF HERE.

NO. TRUST ME.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO IN THERE.

WHEREVER THEY WENT, I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE IN NIGHTINGALE'S SHOES.

AAH! UHH!

YOU PROMISED US NOBODY WOULD GET HURT.

THEY ARE NOBODY.

EBON CALLS THE SHOTS.

HE'LL DECIDE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

YEAH? AND WHAT IF I WANT EVERYBODY UP ABOVE FIRST?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, GIRL?

I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU HARM ANYONE ANYMORE.

AAAH! AAAH!

STOP HER!

WHERE IS SHE? WHERE'D SHE GO?

SOMEBODY GET HER!

DON'T LET HER GET AWAY.

HEY! WHAT? NIGHTINGALE.

CATCH HER OR SHE'LL RUIN EVERYTHING.

Brickhouse: NIGHTINGALE!

GOTCHA!

AAAH! AAH!

[GRUNTS] LET ME GO!

YOU GOT IT.

[GASPS]

[GROANING]

THIS IS FOR CROSSING ME.

[WEAKLY] SOMEBODY, HELP ME...

PLEASE.

WHY CAN'T YOU EVER STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS?!

SORRY. IT'S A SUPERHERO THING.

STOP THEM! GET THE GIRL!

HOLD ON.

AAH! AAH!

DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY NOW, STATIC.

BUT WHEN DAKOTA'S MINE,

YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS.

EITHER YOUR FRIENDS ARE PART COCKROACH,

OR THEY REALLY DON'T LIKE LIGHT.

THAT'S BECAUSE TO US LIGHT IS POISON.

HERE, NIGHTINGALE.

THANKS.

JUST CALL ME GAIL. THAT'S MY REAL NAME.

SO, GAIL, HOW'D A NICE GIRL LIKE YOU

END UP SO, UH, METAHUMAN?

[SIGHS]

I GUESS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I WAS DOWN AT THE DOCKS

THE NIGHT THE POLICE TRIED TO STOP THE GANG WAR.

NOBODY REALIZED THE KIND OF CHEMICALS

THEY WERE STORING DOWN THERE.

AND THEN IT HAPPENED.

[COUGHING AND GAGGING]

THE BIG BANG.

[POLICE SIRENS]

NOT ONLY WERE WE ALL CHANGED,

BUT SOME OF US GOT A REALLY BAD SURPRISE THE NEXT MORNING.

THE SUN HAD TURNED DEADLY FOR US.

IT COULD REDUCE US TO ASHES.

AAH! AAH! AAH!

WE RAN FOR ANY DARK PLACE WE COULD FIND.

THAT'S HOW WE MET EACH OTHER.

BRICKHOUSE, FADE, TECH, AND ME,

AND WE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES.

AT NIGHT WHEN WE TRIED TO GET HELP,

PEOPLE WERE FRIGHTENED.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS SEE OUR EYES

AND THEY KNEW.

THE MORE THE ABOVE-GROUNDERS FEARED US,

THE MORE WE DIDN'T TRUST THEM.

SO WE KEPT TO OURSELVES AND BECAME A FAMILY.

WE CALLED OURSELVES THE NIGHTBREED.

WE STARTED TO STEAL TO STAY ALIVE.

THAT'S HOW WE MET EBON.

HE WAS REAL INTERESTED IN MY POWER.

HE SAID IT GAVE HIM IDEAS,

SO WE HAD TECH ANALYZE IT.

THE BIG BANG HAD TURNED TECH

INTO THE SMARTEST PERSON IN DAKOTA.

WELL, GEAR MIGHT DISAGREE.

BUT WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE HELPED EBON.

HE'S CRAZY.

WELL, IT DOESN'T TAKE BRAINS TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

WHAT'S HE UP TO THIS TIME?

HE WANTS TO BLOCK OUT THE SUN.

WE'VE BEEN STEALING PARTS

FOR A MACHINE THAT TECH IS BUILDING.

HE CALLS IT THE BLACKOUT BOX.

EBON WANTS TO SET IT OFF WHERE NO ONE WILL SEE IT.

ONCE THAT HAPPENS, IT'LL SPREAD DARK MATTER

ALL OVER THE SKY,

AND MAKE DAKOTA DARK FOREVER.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

THEN, EBON WANTS ALL OF THE NIGHTBREED

TO TAKE OVER THE CITY,

WITH HIM IN CONTROL.

AS WHAT? MAYOR EBON?

MORE LIKE KING EBON.

HE CALLS US HIS ARMY OF DARKNESS.

Static: STAY SHARP.

EBON WILL BE WAITING FOR US.

THEY'RE GONE.

THEY'RE PROBABLY SETTING UP THE BOX,

BUT WHERE?

Ebon: 'FRAID YOU'LL NEVER KNOW.

PAYBACK TIME, STATIC.

ALWAYS KNEW I'D PUT YOU 6 FEET UNDER

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

[EXPLOSION]

AAH! OHH!

THIS WAY!

[RUMBLING]

CAN'T KEEP THIS UP MUCH LONGER!

FOLLOW ME.

THE EXIT'S STRAIGHT AHEAD.

I DON'T GET IT.

WHY'D YOU SAVE US?

NIGHTINGALE AND I NEVER TRUSTED EBON,

SO WE MADE A DEAL TO WATCH EACH OTHER'S BACKS.

SHE AND I HAVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS

SINCE WAY BEFORE THE BIG BANG.

AFTER DAKOTA GOES DARK,

WE WILL TAKE CARE OF EBON.

NO! WE CAN'T LET DAKOTA GO DARK.

EBON'S CRAZY PLAN WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING.

EVERYBODY NORMAL WILL LEAVE.

WE'LL BE LEFT ALONE IN THE DARK AGAIN.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE'S PLANNING TO PUT THE BOX?

YES. IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE CITY.

GEAR? [BEEP BEEP]

DUDE, YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHERE THAT IS.

PUT THE BOX OVER THERE,

NEAR THAT OLD GAS STATION.

WE COULD HOOK IT UP TO THE PUMPS' POWER LINES.

Static: OUR OWN HEADQUARTERS?

WE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN A BIG GUARD DOG TO WATCH IT,

OR AT LEAST A CHIHUAHUA WITH SOME ATTITUDE.

UNIT ACTIVATED.

COUNTDOWN, T-MINUS 60 SECONDS.

AAAH!

I DON'T THINK SO.

GET HIM!

STOP!

AAAH!

AAAH!

HE'S OUT. HURRY!

GEAR, YOU'VE GOT 10 SECONDS.

MAYBE I CAN--

AAAH!

[BUZZER]

TOO LATE, SUCKERS.

I WIN! DAKOTA IS MINE!

AAAH!

NIGHTINGALE...

CAN YOU ABSORB ALL THAT?

I...I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I CAN TRY.

IT'S WORKING. GEAR, CAN YOU STOP THAT MACHINE?

I'M ON IT.

NO!

IF YOU DO THE WRONG THING, IT MIGHT EXPLODE.

THEN MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO DISTRACT ME.

UHH...UHHH...

[MACHINE POWERS DOWN]

DONE.

OH, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO REVERSE IT?

HEH.

HEY, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE HERE

WITH BANG BABY SMARTS.

[STRAINED GROANING]

ANYBODY TOUCHES HER,

THEY DEAL WITH ME.

AAAH!

[GRUNTS AND GROANS]

AAAH!

THE SUN!

QUICK! I'LL TAKE YOU UNDERGROUND!

WAIT! YOU WORK FOR ME.

COME BACK!

WE COULD'VE HAD DAKOTA AGAIN,

SLEPT IN OUR OWN CRIBS.

WRONG, FADE.

IT'S LIKE NIGHTINGALE SAID BEFORE,

WE'D HAVE TRADED ONE DARK WORLD FOR ANOTHER.

MAYBE WE CAN FIND SOME WAY

TO GET YOU ALL BACK TO NORMAL.

YEAH, IF TECH AND I BOTH PUT OUR MINDS TO IT.

NO! I'LL NEVER TRUST THE ABOVE-GROUNDERS.

WE NIGHTBREED HAVE TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS BY OURSELVES.

Tech: HE'S RIGHT.

I SHOULD'VE BEEN WORKING ON A CURE ALL ALONG.

I'LL START NOW

AND I WILL FIND ONE.

WAIT!

PEOPLE WILL HELP IF YOU GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

SORRY, STATIC.

IT'S HUMAN NATURE TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK,

AND WE ARE THE DARK.

BUT, HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE?

WE'LL FIND A WAY.

AND REMEMBER...

YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT.

[ECHOING] ...SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT.

D'OH!

WHAT'S WRONG?

I FORGOT TO ASK TECH

WHERE HE GOT HIS FUSION POWER COUPLERS.

COME ON. SUN'S UP.

TIME FOR US TO GET SOME SLEEP.
