Our heroes have triumphed.
The sun rises on another beautiful day in Plainsville.
Henry Harvey Jr. has stepped fully into the shoes of Captain Ordinary.
The league is stronger than ever.
Crowford is a bird man in love with a truly special bird girl, and Dr. Moustache is super nice now.
Because our story has a happy ending after all.
lyrics
CROWFORD
AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WRITE OUR STORIES
ALL OVER THIS PAPER TOWN
ONLY FOOLS TRY TO GUESS THE ENDING
BEFORE IT’S BEEN WRITTEN DOWN
AND I’VE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME
I’VE NEVER SEEN A STORY QUITE LIKE THIS
SURE, GOOD DEFEATED EVIL
BUT THE BIRD GOT THE GIRL
CROWFORD & OWL GIRL
AND ORDINARY PEOPLE SAVED THE WORLD
OWL GIRL
Town.
CROWFORD
Whatever.
CROWFORD & OWL GIRL
NOW WE’RE FLYING EVEN HIGHER THAN WE EVER COULD HAVE FLOWN BEFORE
AND THOUGH WE HAD THE CHANCE TO LEAVE, WE STAYED TO SEE
WHAT’S IN STORE
CROWFORD
Owl Girl and I were grateful to the League of Semi-Supers for showing us the compassion that Moustache never had. In the end our courageous actions stopped Moustache and we now know that any man, woman, or bird can be a hero.
COMPANY
OUR STORY GOES ON
OWL GIRL
Dr. Moustache’s soul was cleansed. He’s now the most caring and thoughtful townsman. He is the citizen of the month in every edition of the newspaper due to his good deeds.
COMPANY
OUR STORY GOES ON
CHAZZ
Emily is now the manager of the League of Semi-Supers. She spends what little free time she has sharing her favourite movies with me mostly. I’m getting closer to winning her back everyday.
COMPANY
OUR STORY GOES ON
HOT CHOCOLATE
Captain Ordinary alternates weeks between Plainsville and the nearby Metropolis where he mentors local mediocre super heroes and helps them find small towns that need their help.
CAPTAIN ORDINARY
Hot Chocolate now runs the Convenience Store for me and leads the league when I’m away. She decided plain wasn’t so bad after all.
ALL
AND OUR STORY HAS A HAPPY ENDING AFTER ALL
ANNIE
Billy was saved. We live a quiet life as the town’s doctor and nurse.
BILLY
Annie's the doctor- and I’m the nurse.
CROWFORD
With the most optimistic bedside manner ever.
EMILY
