Sparks Page #4

Look at me, Ian!

Look at me!

Try not to black out before

hearing this part, Ian.

If I have to come back,

you won't ever walk again.

You're just lucky Sledge didn't come calling.

Heavenly!

What the hell happened to you, Ian?

But she was wrong.

He did come calling.

Later that evening, in fact.

Ian Sparks?

Who wants to know?

My name is Mr. Prather.

May I come in?

I'm not in the mood for company.

I, I have something which,

might put you in the mood.

You look familiar.

Have I met you before?

I have that kind of face.

I'm here on behalf of Mr. Sledge.

Oh. Yes.

His fiancee stopped by

earlier and redecorated.

Yes. Apparently.

Mr. Sledge has a problem which

you may be able to help him with.

Before you tell me your problem how about

you tell me how much is in that briefcase?

How much would you like it to be?

500 cash.

No, I'm so sorry to disappoint you.

It's much,

Much more.

Well, you're out of my interests.

I'd offer you a drink but...

I seem to be out of glasses.

May I sit?

Help yourself.

Mr. Sparks,

we have a very delicate situation.

And what I reveal here must

be kept in total confidence.

I'm all ears.

I'm sure you recall that,

painful evening when

Matanza brutalized Lady.

You do remember, don't you?

Yeah, I remember.

What does that have to do

with Sledge's little problem?

Well it seems that since that time...

this is very delicate...

The Lady has been unable

to consummate their relationship.

Really?

Yes, it's very sad.

There are other women.

I asked him if another woman

would be of interest.

And he replied that the Lady

was the only one he wants.

God, I've got The Lady.

Inside you will find,

the address of the hotel,

and the room key.

Your Lady will arrive at

11:
00 pm tomorrow night.

And if all goes accordingly,

we'll keep the real Lady in check.

Do we have an understanding?

Yeah.

I'll tell you what I'll do, Ian,

I'll scream your name out loud,

at the most inappropriate time.

How does that sound?

It won't be difficult.

I never had to act with you.

Who knows?

Maybe when this is all over

well, we can go on a trip.

You deserve better.

I can't do this any more.

When you get back, the car

and all the money is yours.

What the hell...

Dawn, no!

No, No!

Mommy has something

she wants to tell you.

Here.

Can you feel him kicking?

Well maybe it's too soon.

Are you excited to have a little brother?

What do you think we should name him?

Ian, get down!

Oh God.

Dawn.

Oh God.

I'm sorry.

We have confirmation.

2 shots were fired.

Registration belongs to Ian Sparks.

Alright, Carlton, Johanson,

you check the hotel.

Mitchell sweep this lot.

Nothing about the

place had changed,

the only thing different was

the way I walked into it.

It started to make sense.

The sewer was now the only way

to get to Matanza's lair.

Above the ground they placed a

concrete wall around the building

so nobody could gain access.

Sledge even made a photo op of it.

In a lair full of secrets.

I'd discovered the ultimate one.

Oh, Hello and goodbye.

It all suddenly became clear.

I did have a power.

And it was a hell of a power at that.

Help!

Ian!

Help me!

Oh, Hello and goodbye.

Stop! You can't!

I won't let you.

Not her! Not this way!

No, you can't! Please!

Hey Doll!

Meet me at the Interplay Factory at 11 pm.

PS:
The ring was always meant for you.

Even with the cops after me

all I could think about was her.

I didn't know if she would

watch the film or not.

But,

to see her again,

It was all worth the risk.

Ian!

I'm so sorry!

Hello.

And... goodbye.

Again.

Ian.

Ian!

I think we've got enough to write

the story on tape, don't you?

Take that recorder and stay out of sight.

When I'm done with you, Sledge,

There won't be a scratch on me.

This is for Dawn!

Your sister.

Or didn't your dad tell you

she was your sister?

This is for the Lady you didn't protect!

And this...

this is just for me.

Impressive.

He's still alive.

Get up Cain.

I gotta get Heavenly.

Well, that's going to be difficult, son.

What are you talking about?

We should have killed her a long time ago.

Better late than never.

No!

No!

What does it take to kill you,

Mr. Sparks?

Knives, or...

Guns?

No.

Gravity...

apparently not.

Not a damn thing.

Over here!

Despite being shot by Matanza,

according to the medical report, the

Titanium from Ian Sparks's ring

prevented the bullet from

fully lodging in her chest.

She's still alive, get an ambulance.

Get an ambulance!

Inside his lair, the true identity

of Matanza was discovered.

His real name was Kevin Sherwood.

An evangelical preacher better

known as Ringmaster Jesus.

Sherwood was one of

13 people exposed

to the radiation from the meteor that fell

in Rochester, New York on July 6, 1917.

Sherwood abandoned his

then-pregnant wife

and along with his 12 year old

son began his reign of terror.

With what we now learned, was his

ability to change his identity,

by morphing into the

serial killer Matanza.

And more recently,

the Matanza copycat killer.

When Supers Ian Sparks and

Lady Heavenly were captured,

Matanza seized the opportunity

to fake his own death,

allowing him to continue

his murder spree

with the aid of his son Sledge.

The two men later framed former

disgraced vigilante super Ian Sparks

for the Matanza copycat murders.

But in the end, Matanza and Sledge

under-estimated Ian Sparks,

A man who inherited through

a childhood tragedy

an extraordinary power he

himself only recently discovered.

Ironically, Ian Sparks started his

morning as public enemy No. 1

and ended it with a

return to grace.

No!

No! No!

I knew you'd eventually find your way here.

I'm not here for you.

You and I are square.

I want you to know I had no idea there

were children in that building.

The same as your parents.

It was supposed to be a simple robbery,

it all went wrong because of him.

Where is he?

He's locked up in the back room.

By the way,

every time I kill him,

It keeps taking longer

for him to come back.

Ian.

Yeah.

Ian!

Oh, God, Ian!

Where's Driver?

Did you kill him?

No.

You gotta help me,

we need to get out of here.

We need to get out of here,

I have all your money.

You can have mine too.

Every bit of it.

No, no, you've got the wrong idea.

I'm just here to visit.

You have to help me get out of here

I saved your life twice!

Ian please you're better than this.

You're better than me, come on!

Am I?

Yes!

Really?

Yes, damn it, help me!

You know, that's interesting.

On my way over here, I got a

chance to catch up on some reading.

I was particularly interested in

the story of the Last Supper.

You got time for a story, right?

What?

What are you talking about?

Now, Da Vinci he didn't want,

to paint Jesus just like

every other artist before,

he wanted to capture a normal

man with the same qualities.

So Da Vinci went out

looking for his Jesus

and eventually he found him.

The man he settled on was loved
