What is it exactly, that you want to know?

Specifics please, and then maybe I could give a shot at answering.

I think this thread deserves an affectionate ruffle of the hair.

 

[Brainiac 8]

HEY, no fair with the hair ruffles and all.

 

[Serene]

Ack.. someone should repost the speculations already made in that other thread.

I would do it.. but I had a very busy day too.
And I'm lazy.

*ruffling B8's hair*
*copping a feel while I'm at it*

Wasn't expecting that.

 

[Serene]

Wasn't expecting that.

ALWAYS expect the unexpected.
Or maybe it's.. NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I'm confusing myself.

 

[Spider-Gamer]

I'm confusing myself.

Wouldn't want ya any other way.

 

[avidreader]

He starts a thread and then disappears.

And in the other thread, I told Kaboom to copy and pastethe discussion from there into here, so I got that covered for you Serene.

Did Kaboom have a bad day at work? I'm sorry Kaboom.

 

[Kaboom]

Alright, and without further adieu:

Wasnt Warrior Angel's main foe in Stray and Ryan named "Devilicus" and not the "Black Diamond?"

Well that's true. Usually when they talk about Warrior Angel, they're talking about Clark, and Devilicus, who was like a brother to Warrior Angel was Lex.

So I wonder who this new villain, Black Diamond, is supposed to be

I had thought Black Diamond was supposed to be Lionel....I don't know I'll have to watch the episode again.

No Black Diamond's father was in jail and Black Diamond and Warrior Angel fought because he blamed WA for his dad's death, even though it was accidental.

*shrug*

I cant quite get my head around it, but it sounds like a Zod/Jor-el, Kal-el incident. With the jail being the PZ. Moreso than a Clark/Lex/Lionel incident.

OH!
Do we know that Black Diamond is a male?

'Cause there is someone else who might blame Clark for the accidental death of her father... *ahem* and mother.

If someone could put a transcript in of what was actually said that would be helpful

 

[Brainiac 8]

Good job Boomester!

 

[triplet]

Here's the transcript...

Duncan: Why are Warrior Angel and Black Diamond fighting? I mean they're friends, it doesn't make sense....

(close up of issue #127, with Warrior Angel and Black Diamond - a man - fighting)

Lex: Didn't you read issue #126?

Duncan: Nah, I didn't have any money that week... Why? What happened?

Lex: So, you know how Black Diamond's father is like this super villain, right? Well, in 126 he busts out of jail and Warrior Angel has to take him down, but there's this accident and the guy dies...

(Oliver takes the comic away)

"Stray"
Ryan sits outside the house near the basketball hoop reading his comics. Day. Clark comes out with a basketball.

Ryan: Guess your parents want me to leave now.

Clark: Why would you think that?

Ryan: Because they don't believe me.

Clark: We just want to help you get home.

Ryan: What if I don't have a home? What if you found out I did bad things? What would happen to me then?

Clark: Ryan, everything's gonna work out. I know it. You like comics?

Ryan: I like this one.

Clark: [Reading] "Warrior Angel." Why him?

Ryan: Because he protects people who can't protect themselves. I like being around you, Clark. Its... peaceful.

Clark: Why don't you get your head out of that comic and play a little ball?

Clark dribbles the ball and makes a basket. He hands the ball to Ryan who shoots and misses.

----------------------------[next scene, this time At the Talon"]
Lex enters and sees Ryan's comic.

Lex: "Warrior Angel." I'm a fan myself. You must be Ryan. I'm--

Ryan: Lex Luthor. Clark told me all about you.

Lex: You know, I have one of the--

Ryan: Original first-edition panels framed in your house.

Lex: How'd you know that?

Ryan: You're rich. That's what rich people do. Collect stuff.

Clark: I see you've met Ryan.

Lex: Apparently, we're both big "Warrior Angel" fans.

Clark: I didn't know you liked comic books.

Lex: A strange visitor from another planet who protects the weak. When I was young, he was my idol. Not to mention the fact he's bald. I have the whole collection.

Clark: Maybe I can bring Ryan by later and we can check it out.

Lex: Yeah.

Clark: Would you like that, buddy?

Ryan: Whatever.

Lex: Whatever. [Walks away]

Clark: That was kind of rude. Lex is my friend.

Ryan: Don't worry about him. He's going to leave. Lex's father offered him a new job.

Clark: You don't know Lex's father. He would never do that. You have to stop making up stories about people. I'll see you in a minute.

Clark walks away. Ryan looks at his comic and sees a picture of Warrior Angel ripping through a wall and saying "You're safe now." Ryan turns around and sees the man from the robbery watching him. He runs out of the Talon. The man follows him into an alley.

CUT TO inside the Talon.

Clark: Ryan?

Lana: Ryan just took off out the back. He looked scared, Clark.

Back to the alley. The man is looking for Ryan who is hiding in a dumpster. Clark comes out.

Clark: Ryan?

The man leaves as a garbage truck drives up and picks up the dumpster to empty it. Ryan falls into the back of the truck and it starts to compact.

Ryan: Help! Help! Help!

Clark looks through the truck with x-ray vision and sees Ryan inside. He super speeds to the truck and pulls a hose out of the side, stopping Ryan from being crushed. He rips open the side of the truck and looks in.

Clark: You're safe now.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Thanks Kal, that was one of my favorite episodes of all time.t:

 

[The Caped Knight]

"Ryan"

Ryan: So, think I could check out that Warrior Angel collection?

Lex: That depends. Are your hands clean?

Ryan looks at him, startled. Lex laughs and Ryan smiles, catching on.

CUT TO Lex showing Ryan a framed copy of Warrior Angel on his desk.

Lex: Warrior Angel, number 1, mint condition. I have two copies of every issue, one for the collection...

Ryan: And one for reading. Why do you like Warrior Angel so much?

Lex: It helped me through some tough times when I was younger.

Ryan: After your mom died?

Lex: How did you know that?

Ryan: Clark told me.

Lex: [He goes to the pool table where more comics are laid out] The world between these glossy covers was reassuring. You knew who the heroes and villains were. When you grow up, you learn that not everything is black and white.

Ryan: So now all you see are shades of gray?

Lex: Ryan, real life is not a comic book. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty, make compromises.

Ryan: That's what your father told you. That doesn't mean it's right.

Lex: You are either remarkably intuitive or... [Ryan's head jerks and he touches his temple] Ryan? Ryan, what's wrong?

Ryan's nose starts to bleed and a drop of blood lands on the comic he's holding.

Ryan: It's so loud.

He hits the side of his head. Then he jerks around and falls on the floor, unconscious. Next to him on the floor is the comic with the blood on it. The cover is a drawing of Warrior Angel's face, which fades into Clark's face as he watches Ryan wake up in a hospital room.

Clark: Hey, buddy. How's your head?

Ryan: It still hurts a little. [Clark gives him a Warrior Angel comic] The newest issue.

Clark: Yeah, they had it at the gift shop. So what's up with the, uh, floating balloon?

Ryan: It's Warrior Angel's aerodrome. A floating fortress where he can get away from his troubles on earth.

Clark: Sounds like something everybody should have. I'm not sure about the floating part, though.

Ryan: Why not?

Clark: I have this little fear of flying.

Ryan: I didn't think you were scared of anything.

Clark: There's a lot of things I'm scared of. I guess I just put on a brave face.

Ryan: Yeah. Me too.

Clark: My parents said the doctor's gonna run some more tests.

Ryan: They don't need to. I know what's wrong with me. I read Dr. Garner's mind.

Clark: What is it?

Ryan: There's a tumor in my head, Clark. It's getting bigger.

Clark: I'll tell the doctors. [He starts to get up]

Ryan: They know. [Clark stops and looks at Ryan. Ryan's eyes fill up with tears, and one falls down his cheek] I'm dying Clark. And no one can save me.

Ryan continues to cry as Clark looks at him sadly.

Clark is standing by a fence looking at a Warrior Angel comic outside the farm. Day. Jonathan walks up.

Jonathan: Clark. Your mother and I are going back to the hospital. Do you want to come along?

Clark: Is there any news?

Jonathan: [Puts his hand on top of Clark's] Son, the tumor... it's growing at an accelerated rate. The doctors think that it's probably due to the experiments that were done on Ryan at Summerholt.

Clark: [Holding up the comic] This is Ryan's. He thinks I'm the hero.

Jonathan: Hey, come on. You've helped a whole lot of people.

Clark: I can't help Ryan. What kind of hero is that?

Jonathan: Listen. This thing is beyond even your abilities, son. The doctors are doing everything that they can. We have to pray for the best.

Clark: What am I supposed to do, just sit here and watch Ryan die?

Jonathan: No, nobody's asking you to do that, Clark.

Clark: Good. 'Cause I'm not gonna give up. [He walks back to the house]

CUT TO Ryan reading his comic in the hospital room. Lex enters.

Lex: Hey. I brought you some comics.

Ryan: Clark beat you to it.

Lex: Yeah? Well, I bet he didn't bring you number 66.

Ryan: That's the rarest issue there is.

Lex: That's because it's the one where Devilicus turned against Warrior Angel.

Ryan: Weren't they best friends?

Lex: Once upon a time.

Ryan: Well, what happened to them?

Lex: [He takes a chair from the side of the room and puts it down next to the bed. He sits] Well, they, uh, ruled the Guardian Realm together until Devilicus told Warrior Angel that they should join forces and conquer humanity. Together, no one would be able to stop them.

Ryan: What did Warrior Angel say?

Lex: He refused. He believed it was a hero's sacred duty to protect those weaker than himself. Devilicus thought he was naive and vowed to destroy him and everything he stood for.

Ryan: [He looks at Lex for a moment] Why do you think Devilicus went bad?

Lex: I'm not sure. Probably wasn't aware of it. You see, Ryan, in life, the road to darkness is a journey, not a light switch.

Ryan: You should remember that, Lex.

CUT TO Clark standing outside Ryan's room. Ryan has a bandage on the side of his head. Clark enters as Ryan is looking at a comic.

Clark: Whatcha reading, buddy? [Ryan shows him and Clark sits on the side of the bed] The infamous aerodrome, huh?

Ryan: Every year for my birthday, I'd wish for my own aerodrome so I could fly high above the earth. Up there, all my problems would seem so small and far away.

Clark: It's a good idea except for the flying part.

Ryan: This is one of Lex's favorites. Would you give it back to him?

Clark: No, you give it to him. When you get out of here.

Ryan: I know I said you should be careful of Lex. But I never told you how much he admires you. Promise me you'll keep an eye on him after I'm gone.

Clark: Ryan, don't talk like that, all right? You're not going anywhere.

Ryan: Clark--

Clark: Look, you just don't give up hope, Ryan. There's more doctors we can see.

Ryan: [His eyes start to water] Clark, you're not listening to me. The doctor said he bought me a few extra days. I want to spend that time with my friend.

Ryan moves his head restlessly.

Clark: Ryan, what's wrong? Ryan. Ryan, what's wrong?

Ryan: It's so loud in here.

Clark: All right, look. I'll take you somewhere quiet, all right?

Ryan nods.


Act 4 Scene 4

A shot of Smallville from high in the sky. Day. A hot air balloon floats in to the shot. In the balloon are Clark, Ryan, and the balloon pilot behind them.

Clark: What do you think?

Ryan: It's peaceful. I thought you were afraid of flying.

Clark: Not when I have you here to protect me.

Ryan: [Quietly] Thanks, Clark.

Clark: [Brightly, trying to sound happy] For what?

Ryan: This moment. It's perfect. I don't want you to be angry or sad. You changed my life. You're gonna change a lot of people's lives, Clark. Promise me you'll never give up?

Clark: [Nods and puts his arm around Ryan] I promise.

Ryan puts his arms around Clark, clinging to him and closing his eyes. Clark holds him and Ryan starts to cry as Clark rests his chin on top of Ryan's head. Clark looks out at the sky, obviously holding back tears. We see another shot of the hot air balloon.

CUT TO Clark picking up the comic books from Ryan's empty hospital bed. He walks out into the hall looks back in at the bed for a long time. Then he turns his head forward and continues to stand in the hall as nurses and doctors walk by him in slow motion. His head slowly lowers and he looks at the comics.

Fade to black.
