Roll to Breathe

The Final Hazard has a lot on their minds, and heavy hearts, but time marches forward and before they know it, it's time for the school dance. Can the team forget their troubles for a few hours? Will they manage not to embarass their dates? Who will take home the coveted title of Spring Fling King or Queen?

It's the day of the Spring Fling, but that doesn't mean it's time for rest. Epoch has gotten some terrifying news from Diamond Joe and the pieces are falling into place: Black Cavalier must be confronted. She has different ideas, however, and mid-conversation runs off to meet someone she has been itching to meet for a long time...

As the Spring Fling looms ever closer, the team finds a moment to be teenagers and worry about the dance. Dav, Beckett, Celeste and Abby hit the mall to buy nice clothes, and Celeste visits the food court to meet with her mysterious date. Even Davey gets a call from an unexpected someone looking for a Spring Fling +1. Unfortunately, Kim and Yoshiko have more pressing things to worry about: Kim finds a certain trio while looking for a place to sleep, and Yoshiko must conceal her vastly increased abilities from the rest of the team...

After Epoch's strange surge of power, the team is left with many questions-- most of which Epoch does not have an answer for himself. Kathy Petrie sits the team down and interviews each member individually (save for the still-missing Black Cavalier). This goes about as well as one might expect, but there is a surprising boon...

The team of heroes heads to the prison to check on Ashe's condition. While there, Diamond Joe elucidates his past with the supervillainess and his motivations. But troubles are just beginning for the group. After the visit to jail, Black Cavalier splits off to take care of her own business; though Epoch suspects something deeply wrong, he's preoccupied by some far more pressing matters...

Between not getting home until early in the morning and school duties, the party has almost no time to prepare for the trip to Halcyon's maximum security prison. But prepare they must, as the events of the previous evening weigh heavily in the minds of our heroes. Dav has serious pause about his continued superhero work, Kim is unwilling to open up about the conversation with his father, and Abby is feeling particularly moody about her incredible powers. With such a tight deadline, can they pull together in time to confront Ashe...?

After an arduous game of Trivia or Die, our heroes return to the medlab to convalesce and plan their next move. Though it initially seems that their troubles are over for the day, that is far from the case. The team gains some concrete information to guess at the identity of the mole that has been leaking their information to Archer. Davey gets another troubling visit from Pilgrim. Black Cavalier makes a phone call. Kim attempts to explain his wherabouts to his father, and Dav has an unexpected discussion with his creator...

Our heroes find Mayor Diamond Joe being held captive by a malicious trivia show and are forced to compete to save his life. Do they know enough to make it through trivia unscathed? What sorts of challenges is Mr. Quizzem planning? How does the set of Trivia or Die even work? And will our editor kill us all for having to piece together us saying "beep" with severe latency?

Final Hazard splits up to find the current whereabouts of Diamond Joe. Reversal, Epoch and Michaela head to a charity ball held by Archer Fletcher to gain intel. They find some surprising guards-- and some surprising messages on their archnemesis' phone. Black Cavalier and Doomzone head downtown with an unfortunate companion and run into the press. While they have some leads, their meeting is cut short by a strange monster. Lightningrod, Shibuya and Hal head to the Diamond Dogs' old headquarters, where they are greeted by some unexpected old faces...

The members of the Final Hazard are allowed a moment of rest, though tensions still rise. Kim and Celeste visit the arcade as civilians and bond, but their chatting is cut short. Kim finds that his place at the top of the DDR leaderboard has been challenged while he has been busy with his heroic duties. Meanwhile, Abby and her mother spend a day together, even after her mother is called away on business. That business brings Abby to the Arch.rr offices, where she has an unpleasant meeting with the man himself. Later in the day, the group attempts to have one of their first full-team meetings, but some disturbing news interrupts them...
