Captain Atom - Okay, hothead, if that's the way you want it...

(Captain Atom's hands begin to crackle and glow with atomic energy)

Chant - [whaaaa!] uhh...thiswouldbeareeeallygoodtimetorun!

(young) - Better idea. You and The La go help CJ with Elongated Man.
(Chant complies without a second thought.)

According to his L.A.W. file, I could easily send Atom into Quantum Time by overloading him with power...but I have a hunch I'd like to play out first...)

Before Captain Atom can react, (young) Nightwing teleports forward and grasps Captain Atom's wrists, still crackling with unused energy.

CA - WHAT THE--?!

Is it possible to absorb his energy?)

CA - [AAAHHHH!!!]

So far, the answer is yes! In my depowered state, I should be able to absorb it all at the current rate of our energy transfer.

CA - GRRNNNN--h-here-have--MORE.

[you sunnuva...] I was almost counting on this...I've felt worse, though. I'll headbutt him to show I can take more...since he's starting to waver.

CA - you're...crazy...

(young) - Buckling under pressure? If power is what you need, Captain...just ask.

(young) Nightwing powers up.

(young) - [AAAHHHH!!!] !
Too much power! Though this is what I wanted to do, it's too much! Thankfully, I've not only tripled the power I've drained from him...I'm giving some of it back!

CA - Okay, kid, that's enough. [eh?] Stop!
[whaaaa!] YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

yes...I do...enjoy...Quantum time...Captain.

(Captain Atom is pulled into Quantum time and thus eliminated from the fight.)

(young) - [...rassamnfrackin...] hrrg [...rassamnfrackin...] Team, we need to finish this quick...I need some time in the Room of Spirit and Time...
