university. “The Nightwalker versus Dracula. Six vampires came in to the frat looking for victims. We ended up serving them pizza with garlic. Old Drac didn’t look for brains in his followers, did he?”
    “ For an elder vampire, Vlad III was never very bright ,” Cloak said.
    “So are people panicking now?” I asked.
    “Most people are gone,” Diabloman said. “Spooked or driven from this land by the cult’s reign of terror.”
    “What happened?” I said. “Assuming the ever-rising tide of the dead didn’t spook them like lesser, sane, mortals.”
    “The Mayor was killed by the cult along with a lot of other people,” Cindy said, looking up from her book. “That’s when people started evacuating the city. Almost two thirds of the population is gone now. The rest are riding it out to see if things get worse before they get better. They’re gathered in places like the sports stadiums, hospitals, subway stations, and more in hopes things will get better. Sadly, the Brotherhood is targeting these places in hopes of getting at the survivors.”
    “I... see,” I said, trying to picture that. I was unable to comprehend people who would do such a thing.
    “ Perhaps, then, supervillainy may be not be your calling ,” Cloak said.
    “You shut up,” I muttered. I didn’t need his moralizing when the city was falling apart.
    Diabloman continued his discussion of Falconcrest’s sorry state. “Your wife did her best to work with Amanda Douglas, Sunlight, and the other survivors who chose to resist.  As Nighthuntress, she turned the unarmed civilians of this land into a force capable of resisting the slaughter. Many thousands of zombies were sent back to the grave and it seemed the Brotherhood of Infamy would fall beneath her and Ultragoddess' efforts.”
    “Mandy and she, uh, met did they?” I asked, hesitantly.
    “No,” Diabloman said. “For some reason, they seemed to be avoiding each other.”
    I couldn't imagine why that would be the case.
    “Mandy did, however, work with several supervillains who weren't of the, 'kill all humans' variety,” Cindy said. “Starting with us but also including the Puzzle Family, Jigsaw Jones, the Ice Screamers, the Raincoat Man, and the Flower Power Guru. She did a lot of coordinating with the Black Witch who served as an intermediary between Mandy and Ultragoddess.”
    I grimaced, trying not to feel jealous. The Black Witch had been Mandy's girlfriend, the woman she loved if I was honest, during college. As much as I felt for Mandy and she for me, we'd joined together after bad breakups. The Black Witch had been hers the same way that Gabrielle had been mine.
    “We'll put a stop to these bastards after I rescue Mandy. No one menaces my town but me.”
    “Freeing this city from the curse of the undead may be easier said than done,” Diabloman said, leaning in over my shoulder. “In addition to the zombies and various undead supervillains running around, the Brotherhood of Infamy has begun working all sorts of perverse magical rituals across town. There are many threats here which did not exist before and will be far harder to remove than the zombies.”
    “How bad could they be?”
    We hit a hellhound. It was eight-feet-long, made of stone with cracks leading to a hellfire core, and possessed glowing red eyes. It landed against the windshield and was cracked in several places from the Night Car’s armor.
    “You did that on purpose!” Cindy shouted.
    “No, I didn't! It was just very appropriate timing.” I turned on the windshield wipers. They banged the hellhound in the face repeatedly. “How did the Nightwalker ever drive this thing?”
    “ I took lessons before driving around in a fusion-powered jet on wheels .”
    The windshield wipers were just annoying our hellish hood ornament so I hit the brakes, sending the monster flying off onto the back of a car in front of us. The injured demon got up as I saw the damaged car held a family of four. It was
