Synopsis for "This is How the Story Ends part 1"
Bobby and Leslie are talking on the beach when Caitlin and Nate use their superhuman strength to skip boulders across the water. They head inside the house and find Grunge competing with Tommy at Roxy’s dance video game. Anna reminds the group they should leave if they want to make the movie on time, and Caitlin has a brief flash of Anna begging to be destroyed. Both Gen 13 and the Mongolian Barbecue Horde crowd into one car and drink beer on the way. At the theater, they crack jokes and make fun of the movie which dramatizes Gen 13’s battle with the Anna duplicates. When the film reaches the point where the Gen-Factor bomb is about to detonate, Caitlin panics and breaks down crying, and Roxy comforts her. After the movie, Caitlin sees Ivana Baiul in the parking lot and attacks her and her Black Hammer escorts. Pinning Ivana to the ground, Fairchild reveals that she knows Ivana has called in her favor multiple times and tampered with her memories. Next, versions of Joshua Morales arrive and announce themselves. Caitlin briefly passes out but then wakes up in Nate’s arms as both groups get ready to head home.
Notes
- As revealed in the next issue, this entire story is a dream taking place in Fairchild's mind.
