Starbolts #670: Dropping the Truth Train

 

 Hail! 

    I haven't really decided where the Vault is per se. But, it is a nice prison for criminals with superpowers regardless of wealth and prestige. If you do a crime and you happen to have superpowers, you're usually sent there. That's the place where criminals who try to take over the world go. Super-powered henchmen like Tornado and the rest of the Legion go someplace else. That's why he was able to get out when he did. The Vault is home to some seriously tough baddies who are now far from society. Ruby will have one friend there at least. Though, I don't think she'd be too happy to see her.

    After this trial, I think that Mr. Stevens will be facing a lot of questions and will potentially be disbarred after allowing his client to manipulate him like that. It's a good thing the judge wasn't so easily swayed. Then again, I don't think Ruby would've risked using her powers on the judge when there are so many Starbolts around. That wouldn't be a good look and would probably make her look bad. So, she played it smart for now. It's just too bad the evidence was so strong. She had no case and ended up wasting everyone's time with her crocodile tears.

    In any event, the trial is over and now the Starbolts can focus on trying to find Iron Eagle. We'll be catching up with M'anta's team next comic and then deal with that whole mess. I get the feeling they'll be needing Jack's help after all. Now that the trial is over, Jack is free to resume his Iron Eagle duties and bring Steve in. Let's home he comes quietly. Nah. We know he won't.

   See ya next time!
