- What?

- Ahh!

Take him down.

Tutu.

Peace!

Pea...

Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t.

You!

You're the Hourglass.

It's a pity you saw that,

my dear.

Perhaps this will help

you forget.

What are you doing?

Take me.

Hourglass!

- Hero con?

- It's a convention for people

who like to dress up

as their favorite heroes and villains.

- By the way, your costume sucks.

- Out of my way!

Excuse me,

there is a line.

No, you're killing him

all wrong.

It's like this.

Better.

Oh, sh*t.

Hourglass, you'll never

get away with this!

Forget it, Dragonfly.

You're too late.

Run!

Yeah.

Goodbye...

little fly.

Dragonfly!

- No!

- Ahhh!

My eye!

So, are you gonna

keep the body, or...

Eh.

Dragonfly, you must

stop the Hourglass.

I can't.

I can't fly.

If there is one lesson

my life can teach,

it is that the spirit

is stronger than the body.

The hero comes from within.

Those are

Celine Dion lyrics.

Whatever.

It's still true.

You're right.

It's working.

Sorry.

Watch, Dragonfly,

as your city dies.

Where... am I?

You're with me,

your lover.

Dragonfly!

No.

- No.

- Only now do you understand.

Oh, come...

Aha!

I need you to jerk this off.

Yeah.

There's not enough time.

Oh f***.

- It's over.

- Dragonfly!

Jill!

Gotcha.

- Rick?

- You didn't think I'd let anything happen

to the girl I love, did you?

Well, we're still

falling.

Damn it!

If only I could fly.

Maybe I wasn't cut out

to be a hero.

You know, maybe I was meant

to have a normal job... an accountant,

a gym teacher.

- This is a really tall building.

- Rick!

I don't care

what happens anymore.

If I die, I die happily

in your arms.

You're my hero, Rick Riker,

and I love you.

Yes!

Oh, thank God!

We only have

Hang on.

Thank you, Dragonfly.

Because of you, our city

is safe at last.

- You said it, Dr. Hawking.

- Sh*t!

It's a happy ending

for us all.

Let's go get some dinner. I'm buying.

Who am I?

I'm Rick Riker.

I'm the Dragonfly.

And as long as there's crime and injustice

I will forever be

a superhero...

I am the Hourglass!

# Darkness has found you,

evil surrounds you #

# No one to save you,

we're almost out of time #

# What do you do when

nothing can be done? #

# Where do you go

with nowhere left to run? #

# Where is the one

who stands up and tells you #

# I'm here to save you?

We're almost out of time #

# Nobody knows just who

he's trying to be #

# Behind this mask, his wings

and suit of green #

# Just in time to reach up

for the sky #

# And fly away #

# Don't worry you're safe #

# In my arms,

'cause it takes your love #

# To lift me up,

it's safe to say #

# Jill and I were always

meant to be #

# So I will show you why

I'm here to stay #

# Don't they know that

I'll protect you? #

# Don't they know

they'll have to get through #

# Me #

# Don't worry yourself... #

Your time is up!

# Watch out behind you #

# This is designed to #

# Quickly remind you #

# We're almost out of time #

# Somebody tell me what

he's trying to be #

# Behind his mask, his wings,

his suit of green #

# Just in time to reach up

for the sky #

# And fly away #

# Don't worry you're safe #

# In my arms,

'cause it takes your love #

# To lift me up,

it's safe to say #

# Jill and I were

always meant to be #

# So I will show you why

I'm here to stay #

# Don't you worry,

I'm the one #

# Who let's them know

that I'll protect you #

# Don't they know they'll

have to get through me? #

# Don't worry you're safe... #

# In my arms so green #

# It's easy. #

#I need a hero #

#I need a hero #

# I'm calling out,

I want you here #

# This is my 011 #

# I'm sinking down

into the fear #

# That I just can't outrun #

# To save myself

all I can see #

# Is that I've got

no choice #

# I cry for help

and pray you'll be #

# The one who hears

my voice #

# I need a hero #

# Someone to rescue me

when I'm in a mess #

# Whenever I'm falling,

someone to be my safety net #

# I need a hero

watching over me #

# I need a hero

in my time of need #

# To fix it when

it's going wrong #

# To be big and strong,

you know that I need a hero #

# Waited my whole life #

# For someone like you #

# And I think it's time #

# For my dreams

to come true #

# If only you could hear me #

# I know you'd

be near me #

# You'll never let me go #

#Oh, I need a hero #

# I need a hero #

# Someone to rescue me

when I'm in a mess #

# Whenever I'm falling,

someone to be my safety net #

# I need a hero

watching over me #

# I need a hero

in my time of need #

# To fix it when

it's going wrong #

# To be big and strong,

you know that I need a hero. #
