Chapter Thirteen: The Reckoning

Dig.
- Icicle?
- Hello, again, Starman.
What are you doing?
You've been in the ground
for a long time, my friend.
You are needed again
Because a hero like you
is someone who is already
trusted, respected,
and beloved by the public.
Americans will listen to you
in a way like nobody else.
You give them suggestions, orders, even,
and they will do whatever you say.
They'll even vote for you, I imagine.
- President Pemberton.
- It's got a nice ring to it.
You are gonna be my
mouthpiece, Sylvester.
Great plan.
One problem.
I'll never work for you.
Yeah.
I know how strong-minded you are,
and that is why we're gonna remove it.
The Ultra-Humanite gets your body.
And then I get his
in my continuing quest to
become something greater.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Wait, wait, wait Where's Stripesy?
What did you do to Pat?
Please, no wait! Aaah!
Bye-bye.
Sylvester told you about
the hourglass's limiter,
but he didn't warn you about
what happened to your father
when he removed it.
Mr. Pemberton also told
me to protect my parents.
But what he was really getting you to do
was push them away.
After all the help they've
given me, that was a mistake.
Sylvester said not to let up on Cindy,
and I never gave her a chance.
Why would Sylvester purposely
give you all bad advice?
- To keep us distracted.
- To break us apart.
- To weaken us.
- To take our confidence away.
He took the Staff from me. He
told me I wasn't worthy of it.
Well, he's dead wrong.
Then why couldn't I
bring it back to me, Mom?
Maybe Sylvester wanted the Staff
for himself this whole time.
Then why not just take it
from Court in the first place?
Why wait?
We have to find Pat.
- How was the vigil?
- Still been no sign of Mr. Deisinger.
Well, I have some news.
Starman has agreed to let
go of our past differences.
- That's great.
- Yeah, it is.
But I'm afraid that
Courtney and her friends
aren't quite so willing yet.
We'll need to convince them.
Cameron.
Something has happened
to Courtney's stepfather.
What?
He's been killed by that
aberration of science,
the Ultra-Humanite.
Come on.
Mike's not answering.
Pat's phone's going
straight to voicemail.
Zeek's got S.T.R.I.P.E. fixed back up,
but he hasn't seen Mr. Dugan
since he went to the Mahkents'.
Okay, so let's start there.
Cameron.
Starman's at the junkyard.
- W what?
- Are you looking for him?
- How do you know that?
- He's there. Sorry, my family's coming.
- I have to go.
- Wait, Cameron.
Hello?
I don't like lying to her.
This is the best way to
offer Courtney our help
during this trying time. Face to face.
Ahh
- Come on, let's go.
- Okay!
- Wait for me.
- I got it.
Where the hell are we now?
Oh my God, the tire factory?
We need a foolproof wish
to get us out of this mess.
Come on.
I hope your mom finds Artemis.
- Icicle made her an orphan.
- She'll be here.
She'll probably show up
right when we need her.
How does she always do that?
Hello, Courtney.
I stand alongside my
family and Starman tonight
here on neutral ground
with only good intentions.
- Where's Pat?
- I'm sorry, Courtney.
- Pat's gone.
- Gone?
He came to see me after
Jordan and I settled things.
I apologized and tried to convince him
to join forces with
both of us. He refused.
He went into the woods alone,
looking for the
Ultra-Humanite who killed him.
If we're gonna get any justice for Pat,
we need to team up, Courtney.
I don't believe anything you say.
- I know I was harsh earlier.
- You're lying to us.
Both of you.
You've been lying since
you came to Blue Valley.
But I wouldn't lie to
you. I'm sorry about Pat.
I am so sorry. But the
only thing we can do now
is work together and stop that monster
before it hurts anyone else.
Pat?
Yeah, Court. It's me.
But that's not Sylvester.
It's the Ultra-Humanite.
Oh my God.
Are you kidding me?
Why won't Stripesy die?
- Aah!
- Now
you freeze, you wicked children.
Let's wish to go to The Bahamas.
Yeah. That's it, towards the ocean.
Cindy
Come now, dear daughter.
You don't belong with
them. You belong with me.
You belong to me.
You wanna see what your pet
project can really do, Daddy?
You got a lot of heart, Pat.
I don't know how you dug
yourself out of that grave,
- but you're gonna wish you hadn't.
- You know what I don't like?
Is looking at you and
seeing my best friend's face.
So I'm gonna knock it off.
Aah!
Aaaaah!
- He lied to you.
- Not another word.
Courtney! Hey!
Don't be a tool, man.
You're getting played by your own dad.
But I'm still gonna kick your ass.
- Threat imminent.
- Combat mode activated.
Oh, Pat None of this had to happen.
This all could've been so easy.
Courtney gives up the
Staff, her friends follow me.
We change the world with
Icicle for the better.
For your family too.
This could have been
perfect for everyone,
but you you couldn't
stay in your lane
and just stay dead.
You had to fight back. So
now all of you are gonna die.
'Cause I will not stop being Starman.
Ever!
I don't wanna fight
you again, Mr. Mahkent.
Neither do I.
- Then we have to stop everyone, okay?
- Sofus!
- Kill her.
- No, no more of this.
Aah!
Aah!
I didn't do it.
Jakeem, look at me
now. Look at me, Jakeem!
Do everything we say. Stop overthinking.
Be direct. Be honest. Be specific.
- It'll be over soon.
- I wish
I wish the most beautiful
woman in the world
will never have to be
bothered by her father again.
Didn't I just say be specific?
Who's to say she's the most
beautiful woman in the world?
I am! I said it. The kid with the pen!
Your wish is granted.
For you, my queen from
your not-so-secret admirer.
It's Jakeem. It's from Jakeem.
Aah! Stop.
Ha ha ha ha. No more robot.
Rick?
- Rick.
- This is your last chance, Courtney.
Pledge your loyalty right now.
Aah!
Stay away from my daughter.
- Mom?
- Ah!
You know, it's such a shame.
She was gonna be so
perfect for all of us.
You and Cameron will be together.
Barbara, I know what we had
could have been reignited.
We never had anything.
Goodbye, Barbara.
Noooo!
- Ha ha ha ha ha!
- Cameron, don't do this.
Oh, come on.
Well, you are a slippery
little devil, aren't you?
The Staff belongs to you, Courtney.
Then why does it work for him?
Because you thought it should.
It's why Sylvester couldn't
just take the Staff.
He had to make you
believe it worked for him.
Okay. For real this time.
Bye, Pat.
Hey!
The Staff doesn't work for you.
What?
No.
You are not worthy.
But I am.
I missed you too.
No more Staff, huh?
Don't force me to do what
Brainwave did to his son.
I'm begging you!
The fact that you went
there says everything.
You were supposed to be my best friend.
You're not him!
Aaaah!
I only wanted what was
best for you. That's all.
Then give up.
Then do what you have to or I will.
Aaaaaah!
Where did he go?
Uhh!
Grandpa.
Cameron?
- Stay back.
- What?
I'm taking my grandfather to get help,
and then I'm leaving.
I betrayed you. I
betrayed my own family.
My grandmother's dead.
And my father
I can help you through this.
Goodbye, Courtney.
If you still wanna use
the fancy crate, you can.
Just because the Ultra-Humanite
made it doesn't
Yeah, it's good to be back.
Well, I guess he just
wants old faithful.
Speaking of old faithful
Hey.
- You showed up just in time.
- Yeah, well
Not sure how I feel
about the "old" part,
but definitely feeling my age today.
- How in the world did you get out?
- Experience.
Sylvester's very first
adversary took me hostage.
A guy by the name of,
uh, Dr. Weerd. W-E-E-R-D.
Well, anyhow, when Sylvester rescued me,
taught me a little trick
how to disjoint both thumbs
so I could slip any restraint.
That's what I did down there.
And I was able to dig my way out.
And, uh, pretty lucky he taught me
how to do that 'cause I
think I think I
would've died down there.
Sylvester saved your life one more time.
Yeah. Yeah, he did.
Pat, I'm sorry it wasn't
really him who came back.
Yeah, I am too.
When he or the Ultra-Humanite
said all of those horrible
things to you down here,
I heard him.
And when he came back up upstairs, I
Hey
I heard you too. Every word.
Thank you.
I'm sorry for the way
I spoke to you all.
And I'm not gonna blame that on anything
other than being a thickheaded jerk.
- It's okay, Rick.
- We're just glad you're feeling better.
Thank you for being there for me.
Beth, your turn.
What
W what is it, Beth?
You've been my guide since I was a kid.
And you were my guides
when I was Doctor Mid-Nite
through all of this.
Even when I told you I
didn't want you to be
Because I
Because I know that you love me
and I love you too.
And I do need your
help. I want your help.
So I'm asking for it
officially.
You mean like we're your sidekicks?
Well, that sounds a
little derogatory, so
Are you kidding? It's a dream!
Okay. Let's talk
- costumes.
- Costumes.
Sylvester's body is
still perfectly fine,
but there was a brain bleed that
has left the Ultra-Humanite's
mind irrevocably damaged.
For all intents and
purposes, he's brain dead.
What do we do now?
Well, we don't worry about
the Ultra-Humanite anymore.
But I mean Sylvester.
- What about his brain?
- He said it was gone.
Of course, he, uh,
lied to us every moment
of every day. So, uh
I say we keep him on life
support just in case.
Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Where's where's
Stripesy? Where's Pat?
What did you do to Pat?
No, please stop! No! Aaah!
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Where's where's
Stripesy? Where's Pat?
What did you do to Pat?
She should be inside.
Okay.
We'll wait here, if that's okay.
- Otherwise
- No, no, you should
- Can you wait?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Good luck, Mike.
- Hi. Are you Becky?
- Who are you?
I'm Courtney.
I knew your dad.
- How'd it go?
- It was nice.
Seems like she's got
some stuff figured out.
- Seems like she's doing good.
- Good.
Okay.
Thanks for asking if
I wanted to see her.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks, Mom.
We love you very much.
I love you guys too.
- All right.
- Your dad,
he didn't want you to
think he abandoned you.
He wanted you to know that he loved you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Starman, Dragon King, Icicle.
Seems like everybody got to
come back for a second chance,
but you, huh?
I miss you, pal.
Uhh!
- Come on.
- Buddy, come on.
That is dangerous. It's bad.
Just put it down. Put it down.
Oh my God. He ripped his arm off.
That's not his arm.
Having fun, Daddy?
Ah, you mind?
- Oh, yeah.
- Thanks.
- Looks great, Dad.
- Ah, thank you. Thank you.
So sidekicks, huh?
- I am Nite-Lite.
- Hooty for me,
in honor of Dr. McNider's wise owl.
I have the whole suit design.
- Okay, Dad.
- What would your powers be?
- What? I'm glowing in the dark, man.
- Okay, cool.
- Got some new things.
- It's gonna be great.
- It's gonna be fantastic.
- I know!
Yolanda?
Where's Court?
Sure she'll be home soon.
- All right.
- How about we sit?
Yes, yes, yes.
Do you really think you can help me?
Icicle.
Hi, Mr. Mahkent.
That goop you're standing
on, that's petroleum jelly
laced with rubidium,
potassium, and azidoazide azide
my dad put in his hockey pucks.
It's highly flammable.
It even burns on water.
This is for my parents.
You're not coming back
this time, Mr. Mahkent.
Right this way, ladies and gentlemen.
Come, come, don't be shy.
Here we are, the centerpiece
of the entire museum.
The meeting table of the
Justice Society of America.
Starwoman, Wildcat,
Jade, and her brother Obsidian,
Dragon Queen, S.T.R.I.P.E.
2.0, Jakeem Thunder,
Icicle, Artemis, Sand,
Damage, as well as Hourman,
and Doctor Mid-Nite
whose impending nuptials
are just around the corner
officiated by yours truly.
And with those two come their loyal
if somewhat foul-smelling
and simple-minded friend,
Solomon Grundy.
United, they stopped
the Injustice Society
from brainwashing America.
They prevented that
demonic brute Eclipso
from merging his nightmarish
world with our own.
They shut down the Ultra-Humanite
before he could tarnish Starman's legacy
and brought the true Sylvester
Pemberton back to life.
Then they rescued the
Seven Soldiers of Victory
from a cosmic deity
called The Nebula Man.
Hmm.
They're the greatest heroes
the world has ever seen,
but they won't be the last, oh, no.
Because there are other
legacies of heroism
waiting for a new generation
to find, to take on, and rise up.
For as much as evil has tried to destroy
the Justice Society
of America, it cannot.
Nothing can.
No, not the table!
Flash.
Shade, the Justice Society is needed.
And according to Courtney Whitmore,
that includes you now too, old friend.
So gather the troops.
Our adventures are not over.
Are they ever?
