Mike: What’s going on?
Thunderbolt: What's going on is that you, Mike Dugan, are now in control of me, the Thunderbolt.
Mike: The Thunderbolt?
Thunderbolt: As in Johnny Thunder and the Thunderbolt of the Justice Society of America. You’re so lucky.
Mike: This belonged to the JSA?
Thunderbolt: Yep, you said the magic word, and now I'm back in action.
Mike: Wait, so the magic words are so cool?
Thunderbolt: Word singular. It's pronounced ‘so cool’ in my native homeland of Badhnesia.
Mike: Bas-what?
Thunderbolt: It's not on the map anymore. Thanks for bringing it up. ‘So cool’ means set free the all-powerful force upon the earth of the magical and awe-inspiring Thunderbolt. It’s also a synonym for the sound on the chalkboard that drives everyone crazy, but I like that sound.
Pat: Trust me, he’d just cause more trouble.
Mike: Me?
Pat: No, not you, Mike, the Thunderbolt. He’s not exactly a living monkey's paw, but he's close. I
Mike: I think he can hear you. Also, what's this got to do with monkeys?
Pat: OK, give me the pen.
Mike: No.
Pat: Now.
Mike: You’re saying I can't handle it.
Pat: Nobody can. I'm sorry, all right, Mike. I really am. It's just the Thunderbolt, he's too unpredictable.
Pat: Still zipping around I see.
Thunderbolt: I can't believe you built this. If Starman had seen it, I'm sure you would have promoted you from sidekick to, like, a senior sidekick. He would have been happy.
Pat: Well, it's not a toy.
Thunderbolt: So there's the new JSA now, huh?
Pat: Yeah, but you know how dangerous life can be and even with power like yours, Johnny died.
Thunderbolt: I remember his smile when he made that last wish, and then he was gone.
Pat: So what was his last wish?
Thunderbolt: That I’d find a new friend.
Pat: Mike, why him?
Thunderbolt: You know how it works. I can only pick someone like me to be partners with, someone who feels completely and utterly alone.
Pat: That's really how he feels?
Thunderbolt: Right now, yeah.
Mike: So did you guys have a vote yet? Am I in the JSA, or do I have to go through some hazing first?
Courtney: There's no hazing.
Mike: So I’m in, right?
Courtney: It's not up to me.
Mike: Yeah, it is. You’re like the JSA’s leader.
Courtney: But Pat's your dad. That’s veto power I can't overrule.
Mike: He told you no too. Come on, Court, think about it: All the bad guys we’ll be able to take down, all the people will be able to save, you and me together, brother and sister.
Courtney: That sounds great, really, but…
Mike: The Thunderbolt picked me, so I'm like you. I was meant to be a superhero. It's my destiny. Please, help me try.
Pat: Why are you here?
Courtney: We won't let you hurt our town.
The Shade: Why ever would I do that?
Yolanda: Because you were a member of the Injustice Society.
The Shade: Our interests align for a moment, but birds of a feather, we were not. Jordan Mahkent and his merry band were no friends of mine. Icicles was a lunatic. If there's one thing worse than a man who wants to rule the world, it’s a man who he wants to save it, though seeing the way your generations going, I expect you’ll humanity for good.
Courtney: OK, just because you gave up and only looked out for yourself, doesn't mean we're ever going to. We're never going to stop fighting to protect the world from people like you.
The Shade: Just to reassure you, I have no dark design on Blue Valley. Stay out of my way, and I'll be gone before you know it.
Courtney: Why are you here?
The Shade: Young lady, I'm not being coy. It's just better than none of you know.
