  1. Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods Where's the streetwise Hercules To fight the rising odds Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed Late at night I toss and I turn And I dream of what I need I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Larger than life Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
  2. She might have wrestled bears and crocs for dinner.
  3. In a little cafe Just the other side of the border She was just sitting there givin' me looks That made my mouth water So I started walking her way She belonged to bad man Jose And I knew, yes I knew I should leave When I heard her say, yeah "Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long" So we started to dance In my arms, she felt so inviting And I just couldn't resist Just one little kiss, so exciting Then I heard the guitar player say "Vamos, Jose's on his way" Then I knew, yes I knew I should run But then I heard her say, yeah "Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long" Then the music stopped When I looked the cafe was empty Then I heard Jose say "Man, you know you're in trouble plenty" So I dropped my drink from my hand And out through the window I ran And as I rode away I could hear her say to Jose, yeah "Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long"
  4. Home by the sea Home by the sea Home by the sea Home by the sea Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall Stealing through the dark of night Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor Checking to the left and the right Picking up the pieces, putting them away Something doesn't feel quite right Help me, someone, let me out of here Then out of the dark was suddenly heard Welcome to the home by the sea Comin' out the woodwork through the open door Pushing from above and below Shadows but no substance in the shape of men Round and down and sideways, they go Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair Then as one they sign and they moan Help us, someone, let us out of here Living here so long undisturbed Dreaming of the time, we were free So many years ago Before the time when we first heard Welcome to the home by the sea Sit down, sit down Sit down, sit down, sit down As we relive our lives in what we tell you Images of sorrow, pictures of delight Things that go to make up a life Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom Waiting for the morning life Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame Things that go to make up a life Help us, someone, let us out of here 'Cause living here so long undisturbed Dreaming of the time we were free So many years ago Before the time when we first heard Welcome to the home by the sea Sit down, sit down Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down As we relive our lives in what we tell you Let us relive our lives in what we tell you Sit down, sit down, sit down 'Cause you won't get away No, with us you will stay For the rest of your days Sit down As we relive our lives in what we tell you Let us relive our lives in what we tell you, oh
  5. DC can trip over themselves all they want renaming the character since they can't name a book after him. He's still Capt. Marvel.
  6. Anything that can kill, by any effect, does Body. Body reflects many things; overall good health, sheer cussedness, or even simply a strong will to live.
  7. Vampires lack of reflection, depending on how far into the legends you want to go, didn't cast reflections in mirrors due to the fact that, back then, mirrors were made of glass and silver. Silver was the reflector. Similar thing to werewolves/silver bullets. Silver inherently doesn't like evil things.
  8. Honestly, none of the characters started out as idols (except maybe Booster Gold in his own mind). They grew to that stature over time. Similar to Iron Man's journey through the MCU.
  9. Way back when in sixty seven I was the dandy of Gamma Chi Sweet things from Boston So young and willing Moved down to Scarsdale And where the hell am I Hey nineteen No we can't dance together No we can't talk at all Please take me along When you slide on down Hey nineteen That's 'Retha Franklin She don't remember the Queen of Soul It's hard times befallen The sole survivors She thinks I'm crazy But I'm just growing old Hey nineteen No we got nothing in common No we can't talk at all Please take me along When you slide on down Nice Sure looks good Mmm mmm mmm Skate a little roller now The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing Say it again The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing No we can't dance together No we can't talk at all
  10. I'm sure eventually Capt Marvel and Black Adam will meet. Either in Shazam 3 or Black Adam 2. Maybe get to see Cavill's Superman again.
  11. Well, since Hero doesn't have armor classes as such, you fail on a 3.
  12. They seem to be basing their Vigilante off Deadpool.

    The posters and marquee read three fights were scheduled for the next night. With six fighters to choose from Jason didn't like the odds of picking Sharon's student at random. He was given a lanyard with a pass dangling from it. He was further given rudimentary directions on how to find Sharon. “Could have told me who your student was,” Jason said to himself. “'Excuse me, but could you direct me to the sexy blind blonde trainer?' That would so not go over well with you.” Stopping at an intersection of halls with people moving up and down all of them, Jason looked around. He tried to find any indicator of where he should be headed. “You look lost,” a woman said. Jason turned to face her. “Jason?” With a squeal, Shannon Welles threw herself at him. When he caught her she wrapped her legs around his waist, and her arms around his neck. “What are you doin' here? And where be my girl Leah?” “I'm here looking for someone.” Jason looked at his watch. “Leah is in London. Probably having a dinner of bangers and mash with a pint to wash it down. Laying the island girl act on a little thick, aren't you?” “What's Leah doing in London?” “European tour. Haven't you been in touch with Renea?” Shannon slid down. “Ah, well, uhm, ghosting. Nothing I'm contractually signed for through the agency until next month.” “Leah is on a two week tour of Europe. Officially, the tour starts on Monday. Renea wanted you to go along.” “Who are you looking for?” “Sharon Anderson.” Shannon smiled. “This way. She be trainin' mah man.” “Shannon,” Jason said with some annoyance. She grinned. “He likes it.” “I like the Jersey girl that lost her accent.” Leading him down a hall, Shannon said, “You're no fun.” “Which is why I'm dating Leah. She has a way of pulling the fun out of me.” Shannon slipped her arm through his. “And to think you could have had me.” “Or Celeste.” “Now, that, Mr. Scott, is a nasty thought. Celeste doesn't deserve you. And you sure as hell don't deserve her.” She pushed through a door. “Hey! What are you doing with my girl?” Jason looked at the man that had called out. Six foot, black, two hundred, maybe two hundred twenty pounds of muscle. “Relax, Darian. This is Jason Scott. Leah's boyfriend.” Shannon broke away. “Oh.” “And he's here to see me,” Sharon said. “You a fighter, Scott? You got the look of a fighter.” “Only when I have to,” Jason replied. “Darian Powers. Heard of you. Not from Sharon.” “You ranked? Got a belt?” Darian persisted. “Black today. Sometimes a brown one.” Jason shrugged. “Or an orange one.” Darian came closer. “Darian, don't,” Sharon warned. Darian's fist slammed into Jason's palm with a loud smack. “You always lead off with a fast strike,” Jason said. “Leaves you open to people that know what to look for.” Smiling, Darian said, “You're alright.” Jason pushed his other hand closer to Darian's neck so the other man could feel his fingertips pressing against his artery. “You could be a contender,” he said, looking down at Jason's knife hand.

    Coming out of her room wearing a short kimono-style robe and her hair damp, Dani pulled a slice of pizza out of the box and warmed it in her hand. Trese sat on a sofa. The TV was on, but the sound was so low it could hardly be heard. “What's wrong?” “I get the feeling Jason wanted me out of the way for some reason.” Dani chuckled. “This wasn't Jason. This was Charles. I've got a list of mandatory items to get for you. At least three dresses. Different colors. Different styles. Shoes as necessary. Slacks. Blouses. Hosiery. Jeans. Whatever. With enough wiggle room that I can get a few things, too.” Trese frowned. “What? Do you have an aversion to clothes shopping?” “Just wondering what I've gotten myself into,” Trese said quietly. “Normally, I'd go out, but I have to be up early. And if we did go to the places that I'd usually go, I would have to answer to Jason or Charles about why I was there with a sixteen year old. Pizza?” Trese waved it off. “Had enough for now.” Talking around pizza in her mouth, Dani said, “I figure after I get back we'll head out and start the fun stuff. We can start the shopping, see what's what. Want to see a movie? Concert? Museum?” “I guess,” Trese answered noncommittally. “We could talk about what you've gotten yourself out of,” Dani offered. Trese wrapped her arms closer about herself. “Where's your mom?” “Here in LA right now. She travels a lot. Always has. Doing one job or another.” “Where's your dad?” “Dead. He was killed on a job when I was little.” “What kind of job?” Giving a half-smile, Dani said, “Would you believe me if I told you he was a spy?” “Really?” “Yeah. Had a stepdad for a while. He disappeared. No one seems to know where he got off to. I got bounced around a bit as a kid. Lived with my dad's parents while I was in high school. For stability. My summers were either in New York or here. I annoyed Jason when he was in high school. I used to tag along with him a lot. He and Charles are family.” “How often do you see your mom?” “Whenever I can. You'll meet her tomorrow. She'll be having dinner with us.” “What does she do?” Trese asked, turning to face Dani. “Lots of things. Acrobat, detective, sensei, trainer, profiler, and general beater-of-badguys. One thing you should know before you meet her, she's blind. So if she acts in a way you don't expect, that's the reason for a lot of it.” “How was she blinded?” “In the same accident that killed my dad.” “Oh,” Trese said quietly. “I'm sorry.” “What about your parents?” “I never knew my dad. Mom never said much about him. She was a mom. Cook, baker, mender of scraped knees. She played guitar in a band. I remember that. The purple shirt I wear, that was hers. It used to have the band's logo on it. Kind of a cool thing for a band from a Podunk town.” “I thought I heard something about a stepfather.” Dani saw Trese shiver. “Another time. When we know each other better.” Trese nodded.

From my window nearly everyday I see that girl go down the highway And I think she's trying to catch my eye Standing alone I see her drive on by There she goes again with another guy She was my girl not too long ago How I lost her I'm not sure I know But it makes no difference how I try I get that feeling when she drives on by There she goes again with another guy It's a sad situation But I know just what I ought to do I'm gonna find someone better Go have fun little girl I can live without you I'll be stronger when she's off my mind I hope she finds what she's been tryin' to find And as life goes on and time goes by Will her heart ever be satisfied There she goes again with another guy It's a sad situation But I know just what I ought to do I'm gonna find someone better Go have fun little girl I can live without you I'll be stronger when she's off my mind I hope she finds what she's been tryin' to find And as life goes on and time goes by Will her heart ever be satisfied There she goes again with another guy Will her heart ever be satisfied There she goes again with another guy Will her heart ever be satisfied There she goes again with another guy Will her heart ever be satisfied There she goes again with another guy Will her heart ever be satisfied There she goes again with another guy

  19. When there's lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the light It was cold, I lost my hold To the shadows of the night No sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark A rainbow in the dark Do your demons, do they ever let you go? When you've tried, do they hide, deep inside Is it someone that you know You're just a picture, you're an image caught in time We're a lie, you and I We're words without a rhyme There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found Feel the magic, I feel it floating in the air But it's fear, and you'll hear It calling you beware Look out There's no sight of the morning coming There's no sight of the day You've been left on your own Like a rainbow Like a rainbow in the dark, yeah You're a rainbow in the dark Just a rainbow in the dark No sign of the morning You're a rainbow in the dark
