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 Krispin.
I'll lock up this asshole.

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?

- Stop him! Against the wall!
- Stop him now!

Aah!

Hey, I'm Mario Lopez.

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?

How does it feel
to be powerless?

♪ How does it feel ♪

♪ To treat me like you do? ♪

♪ When you've laid your hands upon me ♪

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, 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.

You're Waldo Pilgrim's
daughter. Right?

Is she the girl?

No.

Jesus.

We're thinking hero over there is good for
at least 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.

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.

I'm fronting this
and I'm getting what?

Sway could be huge.
But people have to know about it.

Who's the girl?

A Wannabe.

He's got her shacked at
the old Prattland rail barn.

Is that where she is now?

Call for you.

Who is it?

It's me.

What do you want?

I didn't say.

Yes?

Olympia is dead.

And?

The police have the girl.

Powers Division.

Bug, you've made things
much harder for me.

Hitting the Sway, huh?

Giving your powers a boost?

That's the idea, isn't it?

Everyone gets a boost.

Not everyone.

Just the ones who need it most.

The outcasts, the foundlings,
the broken toys.

We're throwing money away

giving Sway to these
fucking Powerz Kidz.

I was one of those
"fucking Powerz Kidz."

Never fear, Bug.

We are all of us merely here

then gone.

Wannabe.

You know,
back when I was what I was,

this girl, one time
after she blew me, she flew.

Hovered, really.

It happens sometimes
with an exchange of fluids.

And it's something you can try if
you're a Powers wannabe.

You're talking about
girls sucking off heroes

to get a dose of powers?

Not just girls.
Boys do it, too.

Shitbag Olympia motherfucker.

All right.

I have soda, juice, water,

candy, chips, Snickers.

Help yourself.

It's okay. I can talk enough
for the both of us.

You know, finding a guy
like Olympia dead.

That must have
been really scary.

Mmm.

I don't know,
maybe it was a relief,

depending on what was going on?

You don't have to be scared now.

Whoever killed Olympia
can't touch you here.

Olympia can't touch you either.

What do you even do here?

Powers Division is a circus.

Everyone knows that.
I don't think you're really in a...

Cops never ever catch the really big,
really bad Powers.

You didn't catch
Pulp or Black Mondo.

Without help from other
Powers, you're fucked.

Wow. You're kind of a...

I caught Wolfe.

You didn't catch Wolfe.

That old Power did.

It was a big deal
when I was a kid.

The guy with the funny mask.

"The guy with the funny mask."

Yeah, but you lost
your powers fighting Wolfe later,

when he escaped.

Then you became a cop.

There's a whole
Powers That Be episode about you.

Diamond.

Cross needs you.
Uh...

It's cool that you're Diamond and shit,
but it's not like you're Supershock.

Or Retro Girl.

She's only, like, a goddess.

You were a thing.

I know everything about her.

You were a thing.

Oh, my God.
You hooked up with Retro Girl.

You want to see something?

This is where she hangs out.

She's a bird of prey
and that's her perch.

That is badass.
Yeah.

How did you find out
you had powers?

In high school, back in Seattle,

we used to sneak
out onto the docks,

climb the cargo cranes,
drink beer.

Do dares.

Who can go out the farthest
on the gantry.

I was out there
pretty far one night,

and the wind gusted
and I slipped.

I fell.

I was falling, and all I wanted was
to miss the ground,

but I was gonna hit it
no matter what.

And then, I didn't.

I swooped really fast.

That's how it started for me.

I have powers.

But it's really hard,
waiting to find them.

Sometimes, I forget I lost mine.

I can still feel them,
you know, like a phantom limb.

You should try to do it, jump off
something really tall again.

Yeah, no,
it doesn't work like that.

There was a whole episode on
Powers That Be about heroes

that lost their powers,

and then they would try
to get them back...

Yeah, you don't know what the fuck you're
talking about, okay?

I want my phone.

I want to call someone.

Who?

My mom.

Fine.

Hey, it's me.

I'm at the police station.

Bug isn't here.

He asked me to help you
if you called.

Who is this?

Friend, if you need one.

Look around yourself.

Can you tell me where you are?

What station is this?

Midtown Central.

Did you hear that?
Yeah.

One of those interrogation rooms
like on TV.

I'm diabetic. I can't eat
any of this junk.

Do you have any nuts?

Yeah, nuts it is.

Deena, get her some nuts.

Well you took over the show,
get your own fucking props.

I stepped in there to help you.
The least you could do...

She's eating out of the palm of your hand.
Look at... Oh.

Oh, shit!

It takes some getting used to.

Where's Bug?

He's been helping me.

He's been helping you, how?

He's introducing me to Powers.

Like Olympia.

He said maybe I could meet more
if I wanted.

He gave you Sway for Olympia.

Yeah.

And he took it.

And we hooked up.

I went to the bathroom
to brush my teeth after, you know.

And I came back and he was dead.

Can you tell me who you talked to
at Powers Division?

That cop that
used to be somebody.

Diamond.

Walker.

Yeah, nuts it is.

Deena, get her some nuts.

What was that?

Johnny Royalle.

Royalle is dead.

Yeah, but that distortion
is his power signature.

We need to call the Shaft.

I called the Shaft.

All stations are secure.
Wolfe hasn't moved.

Royalle is dead.

There's no way he
can teleport Wolfe out of the Shaft.

Am I the only one that sees

we need a Dangerous Powers
Bulletin on this girl?

We DPB her and
it will be open season.

She's a Wannabe.

Hey, have you spoken
with Dr. Death?

We need to find the girl.

She'll be down on the strip
with the Powerz Kidz.

Get a cause of death on Olympia
before the media makes one up.

Did you tell him about Bug?
About Sway?

I grew up with Walker.

Diamond.

He picked that name

because he wanted to
be thought of as hard, sharp-edged.

But he wasn't.

And that gap

between who he wanted to be
and who he really was

cost him his powers.

It's very hard to know
who we really are.

The secret to doing everything

that you are capable of

is to understand
how little time we have.

We're all of us merely here,
then gone.

I know what I am.

I'm a Power.

I just don't have my powers yet.

And Olympia was gross
and old, and whatever...

I thought it would help
turn my powers on.

I didn't feel anything.

Can Bug, maybe,

introduce me to someone else?

So I can try again?

Bug doesn't work for me anymore.

He broke the rules.

You'll have to
stay here for now.

But it's boring here.

It's not as boring as jail.

I'll find you
a better place soon.

A home, if you like.

Well, I may have lost Bug,

but it seems I've gained
a true friend, I hope.

His heart exploded.

Like a heart attack?

Like a bomb.

Boom.

He was on a ton of shit.

Maybe there was
a weird interaction that...

A weird interaction?

Sure, yeah, cocaine could
have blown up his heart.

So might a bee sting
or a solar flare.

He could be vulnerable
to pussy for all I know.

All I want is for science
to work right.

- But the Powers fuck that up!
- Hey, Doc.

I got you a triple shot,
red-eye espresso.

Oh, praise God.

Ahh.

Yes. Well, all that aside,
there was something weird.

Whatever was in this
envelope you found

Here, it's on The Powers
That Used To Be app.

Really, I thought all the Kidz were
into Supershock.

I like vintage.

And you were hot.

Uh...

She's a Retro Girl fan.

Into vintage like you.

You know her?

Her name's Calista.

Just a Wannabe.
She hangs out sometimes.

Okay, call me if you see her?

What's your number?

323...

Call me if you see her, yeah?
Powers Division.

Thank you.

Sure, any time.

My name's Zora.

Zora.

See you around if you
know where to find me.

Here and Gone.

Keep those powers in your pants.

Classy, Walker.

She recognized me.

And you worked her
for her number.

I worked her for a name.

Calista.

Shit!

Whoa, what?

That girl.

She said,
"Here and gone."

Royalle, when he
used his powers,

he used to say,
"Here and gone."

His catch phrase.

Okay, I get it.

We got one girl disappearing

and another using
Royalle's tag line.

Everyone says Royalle is dead.

Okay, Wolfe ate Royalle, yeah?

Yeah.

Christian?

Walker.

Walker, you okay?

Wolfe ate Royalle.
Yeah.

I need to talk to Wolfe.

It's half a kilometer
straight down.

Your ears might pop,
just so you know.

I just gotta say it's such an honor
to meet you, sir.

Thank you.

I was such a fan.

I saw Diamond, saw you fight Pulp
this one time.

You remember?
You put this move on him.

It was so crazy.
Man, I...

Yeah, I've fought Pulp
a few times.

Yeah. Yeah, this way.
Through there?

So you guys here
to see the show?

What?
That's the only visitors he gets.

It's a real trip when
they do the lobotomy.

"Lobotomy?"

That doesn't look good.

Oh, Jesus.

Wait for it.

Aah.

Oh, the flowers.

Oh, God.

It's the same thing
every single time.

Give me that.

He's not a fucking toy!

Back up.

Are you in there, old man?

He's gonna wake up.

And that spike is the only thing
to shut off his brain.

We need his brain on.

Tell me about Johnny Royalle.

Royalle?

Yeah.

What happened to Royalle?

Did you kill him?

Johnny.

Johnny.

He was right there,

in front of me.

- Sir, move away from the prisoner.
- One fucking second.

Okay. He was
in front of you?

And then what happened?
He was right there.

And then he went away.
And left me.

Over and over.

Sir, move away
from the prisoner!

- What do you mean he went away?
- Oh, fuck.

Is he alive?

Is Royalle alive?

Christian.

He's waking up.
Take him out.

Clear the field of fire, now!

I never should have
taken it away from you.

You can have everything back.

Just get me out of here.

Christian.

Last chance, sir.

It's your own fault
they're all dead.

I can't...

Sir, move away
from the prisoner!

Fuck.

Lovely one.

What the hell was that?

Unlock the car.
What did he mean?

Unlock this fucking door.

"I never should
have taken them"?

Give me those fucking keys.

"You can have them all back?"

My powers!

Okay?

He has my fucking powers!

Shit!

It's unlocked.

When Royalle
and I first came here,

Wolfe was our teacher.

Oh, shit.

Listen, it was
different then, okay?

Wolfe was this rock-star
philosopher badass.

But you put Wolfe away.

Goddamn right, I did.

He went crazy.

He killed my friends.

I caught him. Sure. Fuck.

And then Royalle broke him out.

Never proved,
but no one else could have.

That was the
Sky Terrace Massacre.

Five-hundred and
sixty-seven people.

Wolfe consumed them.

I tried to stop him again,
but he...

He fucking tried to eat me.

And he...

He still has my powers.

Fuck!

I had a really great time, Walker.
Call me again?

You know, I asked
for Powers Division.

I asked to work with you.

No cop in the world knows
what you know.

No one else can teach me
how a Power thinks.

And I think you and I

could make a really good team.

Get the fuck out of my car.

Hey, Diamond.

Hey.

What's up?

Nothing.
Just thought I'd call.

Uh-huh?

Thought maybe you
put eyes on Calista?

No.

No?

So, whatcha doin'?

Hangin'.

Yeah. Where?

Powers' crib.
It's on O'Dell and 7th.

Yeah, I know it.
See you in five.

Great, I'll be here.

You're a bad girl.

Got my ass rousted by
Powers-D 'cause of you.

It was Diamond.

Walker.

That's his real name.

Diamond is his real name.

Powers, we choose
our real names.

It's part of what makes us
what we are.

How we're different.

Better.

You don't belong here.

Little Wannabe.

Nothing up my sleeve.

Diamond.

Retro Girl.

Olympia.

Triphammer.

Wolfe.

Johnny Royalle.

Olympia.

Rest in peace.

Olympia dying, killing Bug.

It's too much exposure.

We can't wait.
We'll start tonight.

I'll see the supplier.
I'll make more Sway.

We should do something
about the girl.

Simons.

In what circumstances
did we find each other?

The girl's not a risk.

She's lost.
She needs a home.

What are we building here
if not a home?

Shit.

Hey.

Hey.

This is not your
usual scene, huh?

Kids have been squatting here

since my day.
Hmm.

I carved my initials
upstairs somewhere.

You wanna show me?

I know what's upstairs.

Hey, man.
Hey.

Mmm.
You missed the Wannabe.

Oh, shit.

She booked on out of here.

Diamond.

Can you wait? Diamond.

Why didn't you tell me
she was here?

Because I...

What the fuck were you thinking?

I wanted to see you.

Where did she go?

She ran away. I don't know.
Oh, perfect.

But you could stay.

Or we could go to your place.

Go back inside, little girl.

Calista was right.

Your real name is Walker.

Like, as in one who walks because
he can't fly anymore.

Shit.

You were right.

She does hang out here.

I can feel her.

Yeah?

What does that feel like?

Safe.

Being here...

It's like I am Retro Girl.

Whoo.

She's not who you
think she is, you know?

None of the Powers are.

They're weak.
Their powers make them weak.

They stop growing, stop trying,

because they don't have to.

You don't want to be like that.

You don't understand.

You had powers.

You just fell
and you found your powers.

It's not fair.

You just fell.

Yeah, but I lost
my powers, Calista.

I'm just like you.

You're a normal kid,
and that is okay.

It's okay.

I could be a real hero.

You think?

You think you know
what that means?

You think you can
always be there in the nick of time,

make the right choice?

'Cause when you don't,
you blame yourself.

And you live with it every day.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

You and me.

Normal.

Like everybody else.

I don't want to be
like everybody else.

No!

Shit.

I got you. Hold on.

Come on!

I'm sorry.
I can't, I can't.

Shit.

Aah!

Christian.

You stupid son of a bitch.

How does it feel, Christian?

How does it feel
to be powerless?
