"The mood is somber here at Memorial Park. The community has turned out to lay to rest The Knight a founding member of The Squad and a national hero. The Knight gave his life while defending Nighthaven from the mysterious attacks that the entire world had suffered through just three weeks ago. The pall bearers are some of the mightiest titans that have ever walked the earth and yet they seem to be struggling with the weight of this moment. The Squad members have remained silent about their close friends heroic passing except for Falcon who said in a statement to this network earlier today 'The Knight was a corageous soldier and dear friend he will be missed by all. Know this though he gave his life protecting the innocent people of this city and he passed the torch of protector of Nighthaven to our colleague Raven.' Now we will all mourn together for the loss of The Knight and pray for our city's quick recovery from these tragedies. This has been Amy Kline for NHVN Channel 9 News. Back to you Ted."

Well it's official, I'm in some deep $#!^ now. The Protector of Nighthaven. Great.Might as well suit up and be seen. Too bad about the body armor Shadow Hawk gave me at least the helmet survived. I take to whats left of the roof tops and make my way towards Memorial Park, I know Falcon and the rest of The Squad should still be there.
The lights are dim and I can see the shapes of two men standing by the monument that was errected for The Knight. " About Time you got here."
"Sorry Superion I didn't think it was appropriate for me to be here for the service."
"He didn't know him like we did big guy, take it easy."
"Falcon I wanted to talk to you about what you said on the TV News..."
"Passing the torch. This City needs someone like you to be here permanently, a gurdian if you will."
" I'm really not that type of person I don't think..."
" Of course you don't think you can be this hero that we are asking you to be. Your actions prove it though. You are the protector of Nighthaven now and we are moving our base of operations to Washington DC.If there is anything you need from us don't hesitate to call."
A handshake and a pat on the shoulder from superion and they're gone. The jet takes off and leaves me in the dust and ashes that are left to be cleaned up here in my city.
Elsewhere in the wreckage of the lower parts of Slum Row...
This is unbelievable how much devastation was caused in just a few hours. The elders made a mistake by taking me away from the mortal world. I'm back now and the stench of demons is strong here. My crusade against the darkness of the world is not over.
The Deathchild has returned to the world of the living beware my rightous wraith.
To be continued...
