Rake it at the turnstiles! You got it,

Roy! Doesn't matter

the hour or time of day You gotta hope

it's the highs Enemies,

we're

tryin'

to

That was too cool! With what they charge

to ride this thing, I'm gonna keep my

token in my pocket.

Umm Dead ahead,

Frankie.

ohh What's in there?Good question.

Get ready. Come on, let's

get started! Hey! No, wait! Stop! Stop

him!

When my pops came home last night, he was

walking on air. Almost like you've never

been on a date before. He's a widower.

He's been out of practice, V. So what do

you think?Is he serious about, uh, uh,

what was your name?Trina. Serious

enough to make me wear a coat and tie

when we all go out to dinner?I'm telling

you, Rich, this whole pops dating thing

is too weird for words. Sorry,

man, my bad. Watch where you walk,

dreadhead. I said I was sorry. Oh, you

want a throw, huhRoyce?

You just caught a break, Virgil. I

can see the yearbook now. Royce Axelrod,

most likely to be sent upstate. You've

known for over a week that Trina's coming

over, Virgil, and your room's still a

mess. Come on, Pops, my room's clean.

Virgil, I'm standing in it. Okay,

okay, I'm on my way.

What, a superhero can't use a payphone?

Gotta find a place to change.

What's in there?Let's pop the top and

find out.

Whoa! Holy cannoli!

Yeah, what you said?What's this purple

stuff?Don't know, but I bet we can turn

it into green. Know what I'm saying,

Frankie?Hey, Pabo!

You're gone. And so are we.

We've been up and down these alleys,

Jessup. Nothing. Jessup.

He's got a backpack.

Excuse me, son. What are you doing here?

Uh, nothing. Just taking a shortcut home.

Mind if we take a look inside your

backpack?Why, what?I didn't do anything.

No one said you did. It's just a

precaution. A precaution, huhUh,

well... Huh

What the?Hey!

Stop!

Hey, kid, get back here!

What did you just do, Virgil?

You know what you did.

Virgil, how's that room look?It's getting

there.

Who needs a cleaning service?

Buck up, sis. At least we're going out to

dinner. You can burn our grub tomorrow.

Not now, Virgil. What's with you?Don't

you care that dad's acting all weird

lately?This Trina woman's turning things

upside down around here. The man's

singing Motown. Come on, if this lady

makes pops happy, I say that's a good

thing. Oh, boy.

Must be Trina. She's off work early. What

does she do anyway?She's a cop.

Hi, honey. Hello, Robert. Let me

introduce you to my kids.

Sharon, this is Trina.

This is my son, Virgil. I believe we've

already met.

Running away from the police?Now I know

I've raised you better than that, Virgil.

What you did was not only stupid and

dangerous, but completely inexcusable.

But Dad... Get in your room right now.

So your father tells me you love college.

It's okay. Such an

exciting time. I guess. Look at

me. Just tell me why you did it.

I don't know. I just got scared, that's

all. That's not acceptable.

Your backpack, I want to see it now. You

want to make it even harder on yourself?

Fine. Pops, don't...

I'm going to go cool off. You're beyond

grounded. School,home. That's it.

And clean up this room.

Ah I've

never been on a lockdown this severe,

Ridge. He even made me cut out after

school activities. Oh man, does he know

we have talent show rehearsal tonight?Not

the activity I was talking about. My

other late night gig. The bad guys are

going to run buck wild and static can't

do anything to stop them. Oh yeah, I

guess that's bad too. You

think it's safe to stash that here?Shut

it, Frankie. You know I can't keep it at

home. Ever since that shoplifting thing,

my mom's been on the lookout for stuff

that don't belong to me. Besides, I found

these papers inside some code about the

purple stuff. And guess who's staying

after school to study?Gee, I haven't a

clue. Did you hear?

Frida and Daisy are going to do karaoke

at the talent show to Destiny's Child.

Who are they getting for the third singer?

Me, me, me, me, me

Oh, hey. Since you dropped out, I had to

hook up with somebody. Uh oh.

I'm on my way home, Officer Jessup.

Honest. I just want to talk, Virgil. You

were there last night. My pops told me to

go straight home. I cleared this with

your father, okay?

And I thought last night was awkward.

Guess we look like quite an odd couple,

huhSlightly. Well, forget about them

right now. I need to talk about why we

stopped you. What I'm about to tell you

is not for broadcast, OK?You know what

the Big Bang is, right?I heard about it,

yeah. Well, two kids about your age stole

a metal case which contains the Big Bang

formula and a highly concentrated liquid.

The case was being delivered to

scientists for study. I've got 24 hours

to find it. That's three o'clock

tomorrow. What happens if you don't find

it?It's combustible. The liquid will turn

into gas. More bang babies?Double the

mutations, at least. Whoa.

Virgil, if there's anything you know,

anything at all. Wait a sec. You still

think I had something to do with this?You

were in that part of town. You fit the

description. I told you I'm innocent. I

had nothing to do with it. Why won't you

believe me?

You ran away from me, Virgil. What am I

supposed to think?Can I go

now?If you want, just take my card.

I insist.

Look at it, Frankie, my man. Same lab,

same research team, same compounds.

bang Super Juice. I don't know about

this, Royce. What are you talking about?

This is the stuff, man. Remember what it

did to F-Stop?Think of the powers it'll

give us. Royce?

Hey, back off, jerk. Royce?Come on!

Hello?Somebody in there?Open

up! Great.

Hey, Mr. Landry. Just checking out the

net. Computer lab is closed, boys. Yeah,

Frankie. I told you it was too late.

Oh, man. In less than 21 hours, Big

Bang the sequel. I'm sorry, Robert, but

I think I only made things worse with

Virgil. I know he's a good kid, and maybe

he is telling the truth. But my cop's

intuition says he's still keeping

something from me. You got that right,

lady. Look, Virgil's at that age. It's

not just Virgil. I've gotten off on the

wrong foot with Sharon, too. Maybe we

should slow things down. Let's not go

into that again. Don't you see, Robert?

It's just too complicated. You know I

adore you. I truly do. But the last thing

I want is to come between you and your

kids. Trina.

Take care of yourself.

Yeah?Z! You got a little pest control

problem at school. You gotta get down

here!Dude, I'm grounded, remember?Oh,

yeah. Well, listen to this.

Where's it?Get a bug spray when you need

it.

Statics bug zapping service reporting for

duty.

Chew on that, Roachie.

You're outside.

If I don't hurry, I'm gonna be a

superhero sandwich.

Hey, eight legs, I'm over here.

Yes!

Nice job holding down the four, Bridge.

Yeah, thanks. How do this thing get

supersized anyway?It's been

big-bangerfied! And if I don't find a

certain metal briefcase and fast, this is

just the tip of the iceberg, bro.

I can't stand this, Daddy! I'm sorry you

two broke up, but it was just so weird

seeing you with her. You've made that

abundantly clear, both of you.

Pops, are we-- For a long time now, you

two have been telling me it's time I got

back out there. That mom would want it

that way. But when I finally find someone

I like, this is how you treat her. Look,

no one will replace your mother. But I

have a life, and I'm gonna live it. You

can accept that or not.

I've been thinking, Royce, about the

juice. Yeah, it gives powers. But

it also makes freaks, too. And we

should... Talking to yourself again,

Frankie?Royce! You...

You look bigger, huhAnd that's after

only smelling the juice.

Just think of what'll happen when I drink

some. Later, loser.

Much later.

Mr. Hawkins, you'll be free to go in 15

minutes, but now the history exam should

be your only worry. I

wish.

He used that stolen Big Bang stuff,

didn't he?Don't know what you're talking

about. You've got to tell me where it is

or they're going to rename this place

Metahuman High. Okay! Okay

Everybody out! This is not a drill!

Everybody! Get out!

Jessup. Trina, it's Virgil. The Big Bang

Juice is here. Yeah, Dakota Union High.

We're on our way. You get out of there

now. Yes, ma'am.

Soon as I can.

Now for the hard part.

Royce, it's

gonna be OK, man. Let me help you.

Stay here. I gotta help my partner.

Care to take this outside, Lord?

Static. You got him. Yeah.

He's in good hands now. Thanks for having

my back, Officer. No problem. Thank

you.

For heroism above and beyond the call of

duty, the Dakota Police Department is

proud to honor officers Trina Jessup and

Ken Garcia, and a special citation to

Virgil Hawkins for his quick actions in

getting his fellow students to face it.

Congratulations, Trina.

think I almost gave up on us. Hey, you're

not getting rid of me that easily enough.

Um, I just, uh,

thanks for being a good cop. Thank you,

Sharon. Hey, Pops, aren't you proud of me?

Of course I am, son.

And you're still grounded.

Well, if we're all ready, we got a table

waiting for us at Getcha Grub-On.

Sorry about that. well-being at home's

not too bad. When you feel

the buzz.
