The Outbreak in New Orleans was a mission undertaken by Cloak and Dagger to save New Orleans from Terrors.
Background[]
The Roxxon Corporation drilled into the water outside of New Orleans, until something went wrong, leading to an explosion as Tandy Bowen, Tyrone Johnson,[5] and Andre Deschaine were in the water, granting all three of them superpowers.[6] The Lightforce and Darkforce being drilled into turned the workers into Terrors before killing everyone inside except Ivan Hess.[7] Bowen and Johnson reunited years later as their powers interacted with each other.[5] While Bowen and Johnson worked to learn how to use their powers, Mina Hess oversaw the construction of a system which would be drilling similarly to the oil platform years ago. However, a valve was placed in the wrong spot by Stan Bartlett and his crew.[8] Another malfunction occurred in the drill system, causing an explosion of Lightforce and Darkforce which resulted in the creation of Terrors in New Orleans.[9] Bowen and Hess learned from Peter Scarborough that the pipeline could be shut down from the core energy compartment, so Bowen and Johnson decided to go, despite Evita Fusilier's warning that as a Divine Pairing, one of them was destined to die.[2]
Outbreak[]
Cloak and Dagger made their way through New Orleans to Roxxon Gulf Operations Facility, only to be ambushed by Terrors. Despite being outnumbered, Johnson and Bowen emerged into a fight with Terrors, successfully taking down the hostiles with the assist of Brigid O'Reilly who was shooting Terrors with a sniper rifle. Once the Terrors were taken down, O'Reilly then prepared her car to leave, however, she was found by James Connors. Connors shot O'Reilly multiple times in her Bulletproof Vest, causing the outburst of Darkforce and Lightforce what affected O'Reilly. Thinking that O'Reilly died, Connors dropped her body into the water.
As Johnson and Bowen reached the Roxxon facility, they were halted by Connors who threatened them with a shotgun, although Bowen easily disarmed him. Johnson then teleported himself and Connors on top of the facility, threatening to drop Connors. However, Johnson was unable to kill, so Connors pulled out his gun and attempted to shoot him. Johnson was protected by his Darkforce powers which absorbed the bullets and Connors himself, trapping him in the Dark Dimension.
Johnson returned to Bowen, as they were considering their opportunity to undo the catastrophe what affected the city. Johnson decided not to risk Bowen's life, believing that he is the part of the Divine Pairing that must sacrifice himself and thus warps into the compartment. Johnson teleported himself inside of the facility where he closed all the valves, however, the residual energy was still rising. Suddenly, Bowen barged inside the facility to assist Johnson and share this decision with him. Holding their hands, Johnson and Bowen absorbed all the energy and released an outbreak that undid the Terror in New Orleans and turned all the Terrors back to the Humans.[2]
Aftermath[]
Eventually, Roxxon Corporation was accused of the catastrophe what caused the chaos in New Orleans. Tandy Bowen returned to a more normal life, reuniting with her mother, however, Tyrone Johnson was still on the run from the New Orleans Police Department what forced him to hide at the St. Theresa's Church.[2] Meanwhile, Brigid O'Reilly managed to survive James Connors' attack, however, Darkforce and Lightforce which affected her created her doppelganger, known as Mayhem which went on the run to find and kill Connors.[10]
