On the third floor of Soames, Superboy found four kids still locked in their cells. Another three lay on the floor with various injuries. And two others were engaging exchanging blows. Superboy recognized almost all of them immediately.
Andy Macallister was curled up on his bunk with his arms wrapped around his head. He was having another panic attack, Superboy realized. It had been his yell that had attracted the Boy of Steel to this floor.
In one of the adjoining cells Jack Miller was trying in vain to pick the lock on the door. Superboy could see the locking mechanism had been damaged with his x-ray vision. He grabbed hold of the bars and pulled the door open. Jack looked him over with a sneer and headed to where his brother, Denny lay on the floor whimpering and holding a broken arm.
In the other cell Bernie Klein and Ham Edwards were fiddling with one of the guard's radios while arguing over how best to use the device. Bernie spotted Superboy and pointed while Ham's jaw dropped.
Frank Jukes and Mark Charles were the two idiots trading punches. Superboy laughed at the scene since neither boy seemed to even notice anything else. He tapped Mark on the shoulder which let Frank land a solid blow on Mark's jaw. Superboy then stepped between the two and pushed them apart.
"Is this really a good use of your time?", he yelled, "Even the Mutts managed to get as far as the wall. The wall happens to be on them at the moment, but at least they tried escaping"
Jack lifted his brother and thrust him at Superboy. "Look, hero, get my brother to the docs or get the hell out of here. That costume don't impress us."
"I'll get Denny medical attention, Jack. But you get Andy out of that cell cause I'll be back for all of you", Superboy stated as he grabbed the wounded boy and flew off.
"Jack, why did Superboy know you and Denny?", Ham asked
