Prof says theythat he planplans to use a forcefield to deal with Obliteration, and that he will have to deal with the side effects of great usage of his power to do so. David implores Prof to verify if Megan was telling the truth about her weakness to show that she is trustworthy. Prof loses his temper and attacks David, choking him. He says that David shouldn't have concealed his communication with Megan and that he sees this as a personal betrayal. David speculates that Regalia may be resisting the darkness and urges Prof to reconsider his plans. Prof replies that kind of optimistic talk is bad for him because it encourages him to use his powers carelessly. Prof tells David about the team of superheroes he and Regalia attempted to form during the early days of Calamity. He explains that none of them other than himself were able to hold back the darkness and that he eventually was forced to kill one of his former friends. Prof then says that the Reckoners are going to trap and kill Megan. David begs him not to go through with it and tries to explain his theory about a pattern among Epic weaknesses. Prof ignores this and traps David in the conference room using a forcefield. A few minutes later, David sees the sub leave the base.
