Summary
Monica Dawson is using her powers to help the people of New Orleans, with Micah Sanders communicating with her and using his technopathy to help her out. After thwarting a burglary attempt, Micah helps Monica escape police and they both head home separately. Over his com, Micah hears the sound of Monica under attack. At home, he finds the house empty and uses his power to learn that Monica and Nana were taken by agents, along with Damon who the agents believed to be Micah. Micah heads back to his school computer and accessed video footage of the captives being loaded onto Flight 195. He also finds a list of the captives aboard the plane, including Monica, Nana, Flint, Hiro, Matt, Peter, Sparrow Redhouse, Mohinder and Tracy. Claire and Sylar are also shown and Micah wonders why Claire has been released. Micah then goes to work on the computer, using his power to begin erasing information while he listens to the plane going down in tears.
Notes
- This graphic novel indicates that Monica Dawson, Nana Dawson, Sparrow Redhouse and Flint Gordon, Jr. were among the fugitives on Flight 195.
- The episode is set during A Clear and Present Danger.
- The row of hooded prisoners seen in the panel where they are loaded onto the plane do not have goggles and earmuffs; they also have their hands behind their backs. However, in A Clear and Present Danger, all of them have their hands in front of them and are wearing goggles and earmuffs.
- It is also possible the row of hooded prisoners shown in the panel included Monica and Nana.
- It is never explained (not in this comic or in the others) why Damon was never put onboard Flight 195. While according to the transport list of the plane's passengers, Damon's (confused for Micah) status is listed as "Pending", implying the capture team realized their error, it still doesn't explain why he wasn't on the plane. It only raises the question of why he was taken to another place when he, Monica, and Nana were taken at the same time, especially since they were the last of the plane's intended passengers to be abducted.
- Judging by the presence of her name on the transport list, Claire was supposed to be transported on Flight 195 before being given a free pass. However, in the episode A Clear and Present Danger, there are no empty seats seen on the plane.
Trivia
- The rebel yell was a battle cry used by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War.
- Rebel Yell was also the title of Billy Idol's second album, featuring a song of the same name. The song's chorus is, "In the midnight hour, she cried, 'More, more, more," much like the NBC's tagline for this graphic novel.
