Silverstreak and Stunt Kid - The End of Tin-Can Tommy!

<Splash>Tin-Can Tommy smashing into around 5 Nazis - action shot.

<Elgin and Rodgers doing up black ties and putting on black suit jackets then walking to a church>
[Messrs. Elgin and Rodgers - aka Silverstreak and Stunt-Kid - are expecting a sad day]
[...burying the recently deceased Professor Grimes - the original Tin-Can Tommy of World War II]
[As if things aren't bad enough...]
Elgin: Rocket!
<Rocket is dressed in his costume with backpack rocket>
R: Silverstreak!
E: Just Robert...
R: Where's your battle uniform? Ready for the power display?
E: I haven't worn a costume in decades!  Besides, all I can do is this...
<A small puff of silver dust smokes from Elgin's and>
R: That's because your weak! We're the same age and I'm still out there!
E: But my power's gone, Daffyd.
R: Because you let it! Buckshot* got his power the same way as you and I'll make sure he never loses it...OLD MAN!
[*Rocket's youthful protege]
Rodgers: Ah Daffyd, come on...
R: And it's Rocket to you!
<Rocket zooms off using his rocket>
Rodgers: Yeesh! Miserable old fool!
E (thinks): Buckshot has the same origin?!?

<In a large hall for the funeral.  Guests are seated at tables in dinner jackets.  At the end of the hall, STELAR - all fully costumed - are seated with Dreadnought standing at a lecturn.>
D: Many of you here today will appreciate Professor Grimes commitment to using technology to aid the fight against tyranny and hatred.  We STELAR* represent his last foray into defence of the realm.
[*Special Tactics & Espionage. Law Assault Regiment]
<picture of each hero in turn>
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Rampage [cybernetically-enhanced strongman], Pursuer [solar-powered speedster], Ghost [the wireless wisp], Titan [with the ability to shrink and grow], Sonic Boom [Master of the Soundwave], our colleague, Tornado [alien cosmic policeman] and myself, Dreadought [the Living Arsenal].
D: Sadly our predecessors, the Battlefront, never made it this far.  Professor Grimes always held the guilt of their deaths.
[Unbeknownst to Dreadnought, two survivors did emerge from the Fall of the Battlefront, with one on the stage...almost]
<A withered body of a gaunt middle aged man is floating in a ball of fluid.  He has an oxygen mask on and an electronic cap both connected by tubes to machines outside the ball.  The man cannot move nor open his eyes>
[Titan! Whose android body is controlled by the thoughts of the withered body of the Fighting Flag]
But even the Battlefront were not the first.  The lights!
<The hall darkens and people murmur>
<The candles mysteriously alight to the surprise of the guests>
D: I present, the Lamplighter!
<A costumed elderly wheelchair bound woman is wheeled forward>
D: Avocet!
<A beautiful young women with jetpack carries a hand jet where a glamorous elderly costumed women is seated below>
Crowd: Look it's Avocet!  And the original Avocet!!
[If we could look into the mind of Portia Sheldon, would we see a touch of jealousy that the WWII pin-up is only recognised after her beautiful grandniece?]
D: Kittyhawk! 
<a rather fat costumed grandmother appears seated at the back of the stage inside a cardboard biplane>
Elgin: Whatever happened to you two?
Rodgers: She wanted a family - I wanted adventure.  We grew apart.  Avocet?
Elgin: I wish!  Just didn't seem interested in men.
D: And standing in for her recently departed aunt, for the first time, the new Wren!
<a young woman slides in over the heads of the crowd on a death slide>
D: And together they are...
All the women: THE FIREFLIES!!!

<A semi-transparent hologram appears on stage>
Kittyhawk: Siren!
<The scene switches from the young heroic WWII Siren smiling to her battle action then to her looking darker as she embraces 'the dark side'.  Despite her age, she still only looks around 30 years old, thanks, as we will discover to the age reversal machine>
[Original member of the WWII Fireflies and former wife of Professor Grimes]
[Mistress of Sound and convert to nihilism in the 1950s]
[Thought to have stolen secrets from her estranged husband]
Elgin: She's still so young.
Rodgers: Must be Grimesy's regen machine.
Siren: Do not be alarmed.  I seek no confrontation.
<Switch to scene of a guest looking agitated>
[Why the nervousness from esteemed genius Dr Zuravcic...]
[could it be a fear of revealing his alter-ego of Logician - leader of the hunted disbanded Power Titans?]
Siren: I wish to pay tribute to my beloved husband...
Kittyhawk: Liar! You never loved him!
Siren: ...whom I corresponded with until the very end of his days!
<A hush descends and faces are startled as they ask Was Grimes secretly working for the other side?>
