Red Arrow felt satisfied with Tempest's stability and turned to Dev-Em. She went through the Rookery's files and asked the physician, "Do you know of Ted Knight*?"
"Oh yes, Knight Industries. It's been headed by one of Kalim's sons since the father went evil and conquered that moon," He says.
"I know," Red Arrow slowly admits. "Have you ordered any equipment from there?"
"Yes, but it was the wrong shipment and the warantee expired by the time I got it. I got some sort of rod instead," The doctor pointed to the closet, and went back to looking at the charts. Red Arrow shifted through medical supplies until she found it: A Cosmic Rod. She took out the Cosmic Rod and fiddled with the controls until a blast of solar energy emerged.
"Thank you," She said as she poured the energy onto Dev-Em.
*= Red Arrow's mother is Alison Knight aka Crimson Avenger, a descendent of Starman and the Mist.

Meet me at the Red Bee's message downtown--you know, the Descent into Maelstrom. I've got an idea.

At last, all of the sick and injured have been moved to Medicus Two, except for Lardy since I suspect he wants to say goodbye to Roy one final time.
Glad I could help see that done. Now to see where else I can help.
*Looks at Rockhopper Lad.*
Thank you, your highness for everything.

<Lardy is about to be transported to Medicus Two by orderlies> One moment, please, guys.
<hoverchairs over to Roy's body>
I heard about what you did, Roy. Dying to save all those orphans. I'm so damn proud of you!
I'm sorry I couldn't muster to tell you this last night before you passed. I was overcome by grief. But I believe your spirit is listening now. You were as great an Officer and LMBer as I've ever had the priviege to serve with.
Rest in peace, my friend.
<bows head for a moment>
You...Tim! <Time Teller Lad walks over> Please give this note to Rocky when he returns:
Click Here For A SpoilerIt reads: Rocky, I'm so sorry about what I said the other day. Please, let us talk about everything before long.

<Tim takes the note from Lardy>. Of course, Chief. He went to talk to his chaplain to begin planning Roy's memorial. He said they were sparing no expense. I've never been to a Pyngwyny funeral, but Rocky tells me it's quite grand.

<Rocky returns from his consultation with the chaplain.>
Ah, Tim. I need to call Quislet, Esq., He and Roy were involved at one time. What's that?
<Time-Teller Lad hands Rocky the note from Lardy>.
Of course. When he's well.
<Rocky picks up his Omnicom and presses a few buttons>. Hey Quis? It's Rocky...

Please come by, Lardy. I'm a bit tied up the rest of the afternoon, but I'll get with you this evening.

Ah, Lardy, thank you for your patience. I was with the chaplain and the musicians preparing for Sir Roy's memorial service. It will be a beautiful liturgy--in Pyngwyny, of course, but we'll have a translation in the leaflet.
Did you need anything? Perhaps a nice hot cup of tea and some sugar cookies?

Nah, I'm good. Sffenyskus has been taking good care of me while I wait.
Look, Rocky...I'm glad we have a chance to talk here.
Look, I'm sorry for disrespecting you last week. I've been in a lot of pain in various ways, and I lashed out at you. I know your Pyngwyny traditions and values mean everything to you as Prince of the realm. I...I'm sure it wasn't easy for you to break things off with me when I lost my powers. I know that.
<gathers himself> On my part it's just so incredibly hard for me to comprehend, you know? Everything I do is driven by my passion, by the fire that burns inside me. As you know, I'm often afraid that same passion will just consume me at some point. And it's that passion that would never allow me to do something simply because it was expected to me.
I...I hope that makes some kind of sense to you.

Of course, it makes sense to me. Because you're you.
We Pyngwyny are often accused of being--well--cold <he crackles some ice around his fingertips, just for fun>. I know you've seen the other side of me. I have feelings, love and passion, too, in my way; but, ultimately, I'm a creature not of fire, but of ice.
I love you, Lar--Anthony. I love you very much, and knowing I was honor-bound to break off our relationship and spare the hurt that it would have caused if I'd delayed it was quite possibly the hardest thing I've ever done. Despite the rough exterior and--and the potential that's not so good--I've seen the pure heart inside you, the part that does the right thing and helps people. That's the Lardy I grew to love. And that's the Lardy I never wanted to hurt.
But I did and you know how sorry I am for that.
It's been a while now and we've both grown in different directions. We can't pick up where we left off, whether you have your powers or not. But I hope very much that you will remain one of my closest and dearest friends.
