DDriver
You almost threw me into orbit! I was scared to death.
SStatic
I'm sorry, but something's happened to my powers. They're way stronger than they used to be.
DDriver
That so? Well, can you drop me off at 44th and 3rd?
SStatic
Didn't you just say you were scared to death?
DDriver
Yeah. But the traffic in this town is even scarier.
Any way I can talk you out of this?
SStatic
Can't think of one. Maybe it'll come to me later.
Didn't you say something about having your own life again, about getting used to it?
SStatic
I guess that's just not enough for me.
I was right. He loves being a hero.
SStatic
Did someone say 'fight'. No offence, 'Stretch,' but a big-time supervillian like Ebon requires a big-time superhero like... well, like me.
Aaaaahhhhhhh, the light...
SStatic
Wait, the light makes him lose his powers. Your blocking it.
(quietly, allows Rubber-Band Man to hear him) Thanks, little brother.
SStatic
(seeing that Ebon is escaping) Get off him, he'll get away.
(realises that Ebon has used him to escape) I'm... sorry about that...
SStatic
(angry) You wanted him to escape.
SStatic
You did. I thought for a second you had gone straight, but your just like them after all.
SStatic
(exasperatedly and sarcasticly) Great.
[Ebon tries to escape after his deception is revealed, but is intercepted by his brother, the Rubber-Band Man.]
Hey, this ain't no way to treat a brother, brother.
Don't hand me that 'brother' stuff, you played me, Ivan.
Come on, blood is thicker than water.
And right and wrong are thicker than blood.
[Rubber-Band Man moves to put Ebon in a headlock, he than expands to contribute in overwhelming Ebon.]
[Ebon passes out. Static arrives to see Ebon pass out on the ground.]
SStatic
Sorry you had to.
(admires himself in the mirror in his new uniform) Well? What do ya think?
SStatic
(holding his face) I think you spend too much time in front of the mirror than my sister does! And it's starting to worry me.
I still gotta come up with a superhero handle. How about, Hardware?
SStatic
I think somebody's using it.
[Static rolls his eyes]
Well, it's got to say something about all this gear I got!
SStatic
Gear... how about that?
[Static and Anansi are following Oseba's trail with one of Static's tracers, Anansi is standing on the underside of Static's flying disk.]
SStatic
I still don't get who you can stand upside-down.
[At Lake Volta, on the Akosombo Dam, one of Oseba's henchman is standing lookout.]
HHenchman
Number 2 reporting in; no sign of anyone yet.
[Anansi, upside-down, pops down on screen above the henchman.]
And you call yourself a lookout.
HHenchman
(caught off-guard, turns around and gasps) Huh!?
[Anansi graps the henchman by his jumper and Static flies all three of them up dozens of feet above Lake Volta.]
HHenchman
Inside the Dam, (looks down fearfuly at how high above the ground and lake he is,) with the others.
HHenchman
The bottom tunnel.
(to Static) He has been most helpful, what should be his reward?
SStatic
How about we take 'em for a spin.
[Static starts to spin them with his flying disk, the henchman starts to feel queesy. Anansi lets go, allowing the henchman to be launched into the lake by the momentum from the spinning.]
SStatic
(to 'the Monster' about it not attacking Marcus himself) So why aren't you going after him. Marcus not good enough for you.
[Static uses his powers to generate light to blind 'the Monster' because it's eyes are sensitive to bright lights.]
SStatic
I'm on to you Dawg, or should I say, 'girlfriend.'
MMarcus
(because Static is talking to 'the Monster' about him) What you talking about?
SStatic
Check it Marcus, creature-feature wants you to take the blame for all the damage it creates.
SStatic
Maybe because you broke up with her.
['The Monster' rips a small tree out of the ground and uses it to knock Static away, leaving her alone with Marcus.]
Marcus: Tamara...?
TTamara
Thats right, Sweetie.
TTamara
Remember the night you broke up with me. I went to the docks looking for you, hoping to get you back. You weren't there.
MMarcus
So the Big-Bang got you
TTamara
Yeah, but not you--you walked away clean, from me and everything else.
MMarcus
So you blaming me for what happened.
TTamara
Oh, yeah. Before, only my heart was hurting, now everything hurts--I try to control it, but... you got no idea what it's like to live with a monster inside of you.
MMarcus
What you gonna do?
TTamara
(starts to advance on him threateningly) What do you think.
SStatic
Richie, if you can hear me, you gotta fight it! I broke free from Brainiacs mind control, you can, too!
(overcoming Brainiacs mind control for a moment) Control... control... control!
SStatic
That's right, Richie! I'll fight it with you!
BBraniac
Justice League, destroy him.
SStatic
Who, me? Wait a minute, guys. I don't want to have to hurt you.
[The mind-cotrolled Justice League members keep advancing.]
SStatic
Heh, I guess that sounded as lame to you as it did to me.
