In the dawn of humanity, Anthro is visited by Metron, who gives him "knowledge" and departs. Later that night, as Neanderthal raiders attack his tribe, they are forced back by Anthro, who sets a brush fire to stop them. Dan Turpin cannot face the death of a god, so he goes to meet the Question on a bridge. She tells him about the 'Dark Side Club', and asks him to be careful before departing: some force is kidnapping metahuman children.
