Complete story — includes the ending

While holding the boys hostage, The Monarch is attacked by solar-powered hero Captain Sunshine, who takes Hank with him to be his new sidekick. Hank finds him to be unstable and deeply attached to him. Rusty tries to pay The Monarch's ransom, but The Monarch only gives back Dean and steals the payment, unaware that a shrunken Hatred is hiding in the bag. He sees The Monarch tracking Sunshine and forwards his location to Rusty, who will get the payment back via Guild law if he rescues Hank first. Rusty and The Monarch converge on Sunshine's mansion and The Monarch corners him with a solar weapon, which only strengthens Sunshine. Sunshine sees Hank with Rusty, contradicting his story that he was an orphan, and disgustedly orders him to leave. Post-credits scene: An extremely sunburned Monarch, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, and 21 return home, and The Monarch kills their taxi driver when he asks for payment.
