They all disappear in a cold bolt, Wally touches the snow and mutters, "Cold".

Fred smiles as he hears the click of an empty clip from Plunder and throws Plunder and Murmur out the window.

Determined to never give in, Wally kicks into overdrive mode and reads 250 construction books, grabs materials, and runs to the bridge to build it and pull people off of it before anyone can get hurt. Wally knocks Blacksmith off onto a boat that leaves the city.
