Powers

So this chick thought being a Powers cop

meant that I had powers myself.

Yeah. I'm sure you set her straight.

I might have suggested that I was bulletproof.

Hey, hey. Check it out.

Settle down, big guy.

Iron Impact, ladies and gentlemen.

He'll be appearing here all day

before his tour takes him to the Shaft

for an extended residency.

Yeah!

No, stop. You're too kind.

Walker, Zerotron here is giving me shit on that club fire.

Oh, yeah, give me a sec.

Hey, Stockley, your kid called.

Is everything okay?

Something about a track meet, I don't know.

Hey, listen, call Krisp. I'll lock up this asshole.

- No, don't worry about it. I got him. - You sure?

Deal with that asshole over there.

Okay, big guy.

Hey, Zerotron-X,

you've been lighting up again.

- No, man. - No?

Krisp! What's up, kid?

Dose him again, Bri.

So, tell me what happened at the club?

Shit...

Shit! Stockley!

Stockley's down!

Aah!

Hey, I'm Mario Lopez.

And Extra's obtained exclusive footage

of the attack on a veteran detective

inside the police station.

Well, in a tragic oversight,

Iron Impact didn't get the right dose of sedatives

which is mandated in all Powers arrests.

Now, viewers will recognize Detective Christian Walker,

saving the day, but not at all like he did

when he wore the mantle of Diamond.

A former icon of the Powers community,

Diamond once ranked among the best.

He was not only a teammate of Olympia and Triphammer,

but also Retro Girl herself.

These Heroes United

once partied as hard

as they fought to protect the city.

And now, the big question,

can we trust this fallen hero?

Diamond was once close friends with

the notorious Johnny Royalle

as well as the murderous Wolfe.

And while Royalle is assumed dead, and Wolfe behind bars,

there's a shadow over Diamond's reputation to this day.

That was before he lost his powers

and became Detective Christian Walker of Powers Division.

But now everyone is wondering,

were these deaths due to police negligence,

accident or murder?

And whose side is Diamond, excuse me, Detective Walker truly on?

Stay tuned. Back to you, Mike.

How does it feel, Christian?

In your heart, I mean.

How does it feel when they die and die

and keep on dying?

Ripped By mstoll

How does it feel to be powerless?

Oh.

What color mask was he wearing?

Powers Division is not what you'd call over-resourced.

Metro PD would rather not be reminded we exist,

so the city gave us this building.

It was a post office in the '30s.

Half of our equipment's been seized from busts.

In the five years since I founded the division,

we've never had a budget increase.

You've had enough of the Sheriff's Department?

Oh, yeah.

Outer Banks Patrol Division. What was that like?

Talking bangers and straight up criminal types?

We got the job done.

But some Power gets out of hand,

policy was leave 'em the fuck alone.

Let a hero take care of it.

Any alliances?

Sheriff is tight with Blackguard.

But can't always get him on the phone.

We don't leave them the fuck alone here.

And we don't wait for tactical support from a hero.

Often as not,

We Pay a price.

Jesus.

Someone should that clean up.

I wanted you to see it first.

Good luck, Detective.

Thank you, sir.

Introduce yourself.

See if you can teach him something.

Detective Kutter.

Nice guns.

Nice chin pubes, Kutter.

I'm your new partner, Deena Pilgrim.

Big shoes.

Hmm.

Ahem.

How old is this car?

Where are we headed?

Oh, my condolences. I...

Yeah. What...

Krispin? Hey, Walker.

Hey, man, uh, you okay?

No school?

Back tomorrow.

Mom doesn't want me getting depressed.

Yeah.

How's the job?

Still the job.

Kill any more Powers?

That's not the job.

Should be.

I was a Power, Krispin.

No, I...

Who is it, Krisp?

It's Walker.

Brian's desk.

Just thought you should have it.

Can I?

Yeah.

You were a hero, Walker.

That's different from just being a Power, you know?

Are you sure there's nothing in there that'll hurt him?

I had to turn in Brian's back up piece and all that stuff.

I mean, like, a phone with names,

numbers, pictures of Brian's girls.

I took care of it.

Thanks.

You Okay?

I tried to call.

I didn't want to talk.

But you didn't...

That's why I didn't answer the phone.

Yeah, sure, okay.

Yeah, okay.

I could eat something.

New guy drives.

I said no onions.

You hear me say no onions?

Mmm-hmm.

All right, I'm gonna say something.

You look different without the mask.

That was the idea.

Most of those masks.

Come on, you figured you'd make those guys right away.

You...

Ah, you look really different.

I never got made.

Hmm?

My neighbors didn't look twice.

It's context.

Nobody expects to see a Power like Diamond mowing his lawn.

You mowed your own lawn?

No, I live in a condo. The lawn was a "for instance."

Sure. So, for instance, where's your condo?

Tailor Heights. You?

I'm, uh, between places.

Had a personal thing go to shit.

So, I'm staying in Cannon Flats with my dad.

Oh, holy.

Oh!

Oh, man. What is that like?

Come on. Let's go see a dead body.

Jesus, shit, Philip.

That's a really big, really naked dead body.

It's Olympia.

Yeah.

You've ever seen a Power fucking?

Goddamn Olympia.

My dad loves this guy.

Cops on his task force in the day, they all had Olympia tattoos.

Yeah. You're Waldo Pilgrim's daughter. Right?

Is she the girl?

No.

Jesus.

We think hero over there is at least good for statutory rape.

You left her in here?

I was waiting on a matron.

You okay?

I don't feel different at all.

Hey, let's get out of here. Okay. Come on

What the fuck is her problem?

You're an asshole is her problem.

Another day with you and she'll know what an asshole really is.

I'm not going to wait forever.

He's never late.

I'm not meant to be here.

I told you we needed to expand.

He hooked Olympia up with a girl.

Got her to pass him some Sway.

Yeah, I did.
