Dr. Eva St. Clair is about to get into her 2005 Honda Pilot and drive to the Goodwater General Hospital where she works when a man holding the nose of an immense space ship smashes down into the street in front of her driveway; the shockwave he makes blows out all the windows for about a block and sets off dozens of car alarms, prompting other people to come out of their houses to see what all the racket is about. He skids backwards about thirty feet, digging up a trench in the asphalt before coming to a halt. For a single moment, the man holds the hundred-foot long space ship in his grip before dropping it with a loud boom. Although it destroys several front yards and topples three streetlights, the ship does not hurt anyone.

Once on the ground, the same people that the news reported about in San Francisco and Haven City begin to file out of the shattered viewport, two of them, a male and a female, are being carried by a short man in a red costume and telekinetically by her nurse, Belle Drake.

“Good morning, boss,” she says as she walks up to Dr. St. Clair. “Sorry, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it to work today.”

“I did it!” the man who was holding up the ship slurs drunkenly.

“I know you did, Sweetie-Pie,” Belle says. “I’m proud of you.”

The man, with smoke smoldering off of him lightly, smiles before his eyes roll into the back of his head and he collapses.

“You’d better come inside,” Dr. St. Clair says.

Once inside, Dr. Invictus and Kaiju explain the culmination of events that have led the Invincibles to Dr. St. Clair’s living room as she works on Dick and Anna. A now unmasked Peter cautiously ties Frank to a chair as they talk and Belle wipes down Chris’s forehead with a damp cloth as he sleeps. Dr. St. Clair is of average height and build for a woman her age and still has an air of confidence and authority even at fifty-eight. Her crime-fighting days are coming to a close, but in the dark period between the fall of the Olympians and S.P.E.A.R. era, she was quite a force to be reckoned with.

“Dr. St. Clair, if you could help our friends we would be forever in your debt,” Kaiju finishes.

“Call me Eva,” she responds as she fills a syringe with a sickly yellow fluid.

She taps out the air bubbles and gives the syringe an experimental squirt before stabbing it into Anna’s carotid artery and pressing the plunger down. The black color in Anna’s skin around the wound instantly clears up, but she stays unconscious.

“She’ll be fine,” Eva says. “But there’s nothing I can do about your friend’s eye. You did right cauterizing it, but there’s nothing else I can do. I’ve cleaned the wound and bandaged up what I could, but I can’t get him a new eye.”

“What about Frank and Chris?” Dr. Invictus asks.
