"ERICA!!!", TC yells.

He begins using his telekinetic powers to move stuff off of Brandon and Erica. Superman and Supergirl run up beside him.

"Let us do it", Supergirl says.

TC steps back and Supergirl and Superman begins super blowing the house off of Brandon and Erica, suddenly there bodies are clear to them. Everyone runs over, TC gets on his knees beside them. Batwoman puts her hand on their necks.

"It's okay there still breathing, just uncoscious", Batwoman says.

"I can wake them up", Martian says waving his hand over them.

After a few seconds, Brandon starts coughing, everyone stares at him silently. 

"Why isn't Erica waking up", TC asks looking back at Martian.

"I don't know she should have regained consciousness by now", Martian says.

"She must be in a coma", Batwoman says.

TC looks up at her quickly, then turns to Brandon.

"This is your fault!", TC says to Brandon

Brandon stares at the ground scared to look up. Across the street, Lynn and the neighbors are starting to wake up. One of the neighbors reaches to help Lynn up but she panics and backs away.

"Stay away from me", Lynn yells. 

Jeff turns and runs over to Lynn. Superman and Flash follows him.

"Ma'am, what's wrong", Jeff asks since he still in his suit.

The neighbors turn and see superman.

"Oh my god!", one of them says.

"It's superman", another says.

"Hi Superman!", another one says.

"Hey", Superman starts then quickly blows his freeze breath at them.

"Now Lynn, what's wrong?", Jeff asks again.

"They we're trying to kill me!", Lynn says.

"What, our neighbors we're trying to kill you?", Jeff asks.

"Those are not our neighbors", Lynn says shaking her finger.

"Then who are they?", Flash asks.

"I mean they look like my neighbors but more evil like, when you hit them their eyes turned grey/silver". Lynn says.

"That's strange", Superman says.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could be more descriptive but my eyes are blurry right now, and my mind is still spinning", Lynn says.

"We'll circle back around to that, right now we need to get Erica to the Sanctum's Lab to rest", Jeff says.

"Erica?, What's wrong with Erica", Lynn asks.

"The house collapsed on her and Brandon", Jeff replies softly.

"THE HOUSE COLLAPSED!", Lynn yells pushing Jeff to the side.

"Yeah but we have insurance, the house can be replaced", Jeff jokes.

"But not the memories", Lynn says turning around quickly.

"I know!", Jeff says breathing out.

"Wait I thought you said her and Brandon?", Lynn asks.

"I did!", Jeff says.

"Then where is he?", Lynn asks looking at an unconscious Erica.

"He flew off while y'all were helping Lynn", Batwoman says.
