Synopsis for 1st story
The issue begins with Jessica waking up to see the clone that looked like her son wrapped around Brit. Brit's brother Euclid's voice is coming from the clone giving Brit instructions. He gives Brit coordinates and tells him to come alone with no weapons, gadgets, or teleportation. Brit needs to be there in exactly two hours or Euclid is going to kill Brittany, Jr. Once the instructions are done the clone blows up.
Brit takes a plane to somewhere arctic. He walks over to the exact coordinates and a trap door opens underneath his feet. Euclid greets his brother once he crash lands. He tells Brit he wanted a witness to history. He doesn't understand why their father couldn't make it work on him but now he's going to correct that lapse.
Brit is irritated to find out that that is what this is about. He's told Euclid many times that their dad gave him the same serum that he gave Britney. An improved version of the serum that he gave Brit years before that. It's not their father's fault that it didn't work right on Euclid.
But Euclid doesn't accept that. Both Brit and Britney have power and he's ended up old and weak. Brit tells him not to act like he didn't get anything out of it, he's lived for a very long time. Euclid replies that it is not enough. But he's solved that puzzle.
Euclid tells Brit that he found the serum dormant in Brittany, Jr.'s blood. It was easy to filter it and now Euclid has the original version of the serum. Euclid believes this version of the serum will work on him.
Brit demands to know what Euclid's done with his son. He asks him not to do anything to Brittany, Jr. Euclid informs him that it is already done. He took the transfusion of Brittany, Jr.'s blood days ago. He already feels it working. He's done with the kid and just called Brit to come pick him up.
Euclid opens a window to a lab and Brit sees his son strapped to a table with a bunch of needles and medical devices around him. Brit rushes in and starts pulling him loose. He apologizes to his son and tells him that he's going to take him home to his mom.
Some kind of press starts descending from the ceiling. Euclid tells Brit he better hurry because he's set off the counter measures. Brit keeps pulling on the straps but he can't get his son loose. He yells at Euclid to shut it down, he tells him that he'll do anything he wants. But Euclid is just amused to hear Brit say he can't do something and ask for his help when Brit was always able to do so much that Euclid couldn't.
The ceiling comes down right on top of Brit. He tries to hold it up but he's not strong enough. He begs for help as he tries to stop it. He promises his son that he's not going to leave him and he covers Brittany, Jr.'s body with his own. He starts crying and tells his son that he loves him and that he's very sorry. He tells him that his daddy is there just as the ceiling comes all the way down to crush them.
Euclid is still laughing until he realizes what he's just done. He's killed his own brother and nephew. He panics and tries to reverse the machinery hoping they are still alive.
Suddenly, Brit and Brittany, Jr. emerge from the wreckage alive and well. It looks like Brittany, Jr. has inherited his father's invulnerability. Brit swings him by the feet and uses him like a bat to hit Euclid in the face. Brit calls Donald to pick them up and take them home. Brit and Brittany, Jr. have a happy reunion at the Pentagon with Jessica and Britney.
Brit and Jessica get home and agree to work things out in their marriage. But she's upset that she didn't even know that Brit had a brother. So he promises to tell her everything after they put Brittany, Jr. to bed.
At Black Forest Asylum, Euclid is brought in. He's wheeled past Slitter's cell. Slitter stops trying to mutter Brit's name and says Euclid's name. Euclid smiles and says everything is going according to plan.

Synopsis for "At Long Last -- The Secret Origin of Brit!"
The back up story begins just after Brit puts down Brittany, Jr. for bed. Jessica tells him that things have changed now that they have a kid together and she's no longer comfortable with all of the secrets that Brit has. She mentions that she didn't even know about his sister Britney until after they were married. And now she finds out he has a brother that hates him and wants to hurt their family. She doesn't even know how Brit became invulnerable. So Brit says he'll start there.
When Brit was very young there was an accident and Brit was injured and his mother was killed. His father wasn't there when it happened and returned to find them like that. Brit has never seen someone so sorrowful in all of his years.
Weeks passed and his father wouldn't speak. He wouldn't do anything but read. The death of a loved one had broken him and he vowed never to go through it again.
So they traveled many years while his father searched for things. His father wasn't a scientist but he was a genius. If he needed to fix something he would learn how to do it or invent a solution. So he was looking for a way to make a person unable to be hurt or killed. They traveled all over the world while his father learned more and more and got closer to his goal.
It took nearly a decade but his father was able to create a serum that worked. He gave it to Brit (Brit appears to be about a teenager at this point) and Brit could feel it working. He fell sick for a short period but quicker got better. They learned he was invulnerable to harm. It didn't have any other benefits such as more strength or speed but he couldn't be hurt.
So he did what anyone with his gifts during that time would do and enlisted in the army and fought in the war. The army assumed that he had been born with his power. His father wanted him to keep his abilities hidden so they couldn't be exploited but Brit didn't listen to him. He wanted to fight and do the right thing.
While Brit was away fighting in World War One, his father met another woman and remarried. They had twins, Britney and Euclid. Brit didn't see much of them during that time. He would stop in once or twice a year but he was already working for the government by then and trying to prevent World War Two.
His father's marriage didn't last. He had gotten lonely but he never really loved his second wife and never had really gotten over Brit's mother. He eventually left his second wife when Britney and Euclid were teenagers.
But he did love his children and wanted them to be safe. He had developed a more perfected version of his serum. It made Britney invulnerable and it also almost completely halted her aging and gave her super strength. But for some reason the serum didn't work on Euclid.
Their father loved all of his kids the same but Euclid didn't see it that way. The serum not working on him drove him away and made him distant. But Brit had his hands full at the time working for the government. So he didn't know what a serious change Euclid was going through.
Brit wonders if maybe it was the serum that drove Euclid mad. He doesn't know why else he would do all the terrible things he's done. Brit and Britney had to fight their brother many times over the years. Euclid was a genius like their father but didn't have any of his compassion. Brit says he ages slowly, though not as slowly as Britney, but he thinks his hair probably wouldn't be fully grey yet if it wasn't for Euclid.
Brit and Britney never told the government where they got their powers from. Their father never took the serum himself and the secret of the serum was gone once he died.
Jessica thinks it is sweet how much Brit's father loved his mother. Brit tells Jessica that he loves her even more. They kiss and head up to bed.
