[At their latest hideout, an old 'Ratty Boyz' pizza place and arcade.]
Your late, where's Aquamaria.
(covering for himself) Hahahaha, that's a funny story, Ebon, (pushes Talon forward,) why don't you tell him.
TTalon
(nervous) ...She was doing alright, then Static showed up...
(walking in with coffee cups) Hey, here you go boss, double Latte, right, I got cappuccinos for everyone else but...
[Ebon knock the coffee out of Carmen-Dillo's hands, stands up out of his 'throne and starts pacing.]
...On the other hand, who needs all that caffine, right...?
I can't believe he got her. I thought her water powers would stop him for sure.
Uh uh, Boss, Static didn't stop Aquamaria, Rubber-Band Man did...
(realising his slip) Yeah, we were as surprised as you are...
[Ebon throws a furious fit using his powers, knocking things down before leaving.]
'Gheez Luweez', is he always like this.
TTalon
He has his reasons.
AAdam
(talking to himself) ...Sharon, I gotta call her back...
[Ebon is revealed to have been waiting for Adam, disguised as a shadow on the ceiling.]
[Adam stands up and walks away from Ebon, but Ebon moves to Adam still as a shadow on the wall.]
I want you to roll with my crew, just like the old days, before the Big Bang.
AAdam
Not gonna happen. We've been through this, Ivan.
We've been through that, too. You call me 'Ebon' now.
[Adam turns and walks away from Ebon again, but Ebon slides across the floor and moves in front of Adam, blocking his path.]
It was bad enough you had to run off and be a rock star. Now you're out there, playing 'superhero' and turning on your own?
AAdam
It's not your business.
Is my business. You belong with me. People like us, we deserve to have whatever we want--if we stick together, we can have it all.
[Adam thinks about it, tempted for a second, before shaking the notion his head determinded not to agree with Ebon's 'philosophy' and starts changing into his Rubber-Band Man costume.]
AAdam
Yeah, and every time I try things your way, I end up in trouble.
(starts to leave) Then just stay out of my way. You owe me that much. [leaves)
[Carmen-Dillo, Shiv and Talon have started to break in and rob Dakota Electronics Store. Having broken down the entrance started causing havoc, Carmen-Dillo stops to look around.]
Ahh, I hate robbing joints like this, no food court.
No thanks, I always bounce back.
I told you to stay out of this, Adam.
After all I've done for you, this is the payback. When Dad passed away...
(interrupts angrily) ...Don't you mention him...
(interupts) ...Why not, I'm the Man of the Family now.
Thats the way it works, we're blood, I'm suppost to be looking after you, not fighting with...
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...
Wait, the light makes him lose his powers. Your blocking it.
(quietly, allows Rubber-Band Man to hear him) Thanks, little brother.
(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...
(angry) You wanted him to escape.
You did. I thought for a second you had gone straight, but your just like them after all.
(exasperatedly and sarcasticly) Great.
(has just rushed through the front door and calls upstairs to Sharon) SHARON. Sharon, we gotta talk.
I don't wanna hurt you, I just want to talk to your sister.
(raises the paper he had brought with him) About this?
It ain't true, I didn't brake the Meta-Breed outta jail, I helped put then there.
Yeah, I supposed you didn't help Ebon escape from Static either.
Look, I helped Ebon but I had my reasons...
Yeah, cos your just like him.
No, (turns to leave,) because he's my brother.
[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.]
[Richie has just seen Madelyn mind-controlling someone, he turns to yell for Virgil, but not before Madelyn gets into his mind]
Not so fast, Richard. Let's see what's in your brain...
[Inside Richie's mind, Madelyn sees an image of Virgil smiling, Virgil with Richie, and Static taking off his mask to reveal himself as Virgil.]
What's going on? ...Richie?!
[Richie collapses against Virgil as Madelyn quickly exits his mind.]
You... you're interesting. [She cackles and runs away.)
JJimmy

JJimmy
