Hey, you break it, you buy it. Sorry,

Virgil, but it stopped just as I was

going to gobble up the golden globe ball.

Let me take a look.

Man, this thing's been patched up more

than a turkey day balloon.

Hey, you did it. Cool. What can I say?

I got the magic touch.

Hey, pops. But the center was

counting on that, Grant. I know

times are tight, but so is our budget.

I understand. Goodbye. What's

going on, son?I'm leaving for career day,

Pops. Have a good time.

About that call, you okay?Don't worry

about that. The center will pull through.

We always do. You sure?'Cause if the

center needs a loan,

the line forms behind me.

Alva Industries. If I knew they were

taking us here, Rich, I would have signed

up for careers in fast food service. I

had one of my first big throwdowns in

this place. Yes, against the very same

dude whose name's on this building. How

trippy is that?This is Level

7, Advanced Cybernetics Division.

Alva Industries scours the world for the

best and brightest young scientific

minds. Who knows, maybe some of you will

join the Alva team one day. You are free

to look around, but please don't touch

anything.

Wow. Alva may be a world-class jerk, but

man, check out this hardware. It is

impressive. True, but how much you want

to bet there are more cons than pros in

this place?

I'll rest my case. Look who we have here,

Mr. Trapper. It's that grunt from the

Vanmore School. So it is...

Vermin, right?Virgil.

Potato, potato. Hey, it's

that other Vanmore reject. We dumped your

school after you losers tried to use us

to catch static, a test that you flunked,

remember?Ancient history, little girl.

Mr. Trapper and I have moved up to the

big leagues. That's right. We were

personally selected by the Big A himself

to work on a top-secret hush-hush

project. Specs, Trapper. Mr. Alva

needs to see you. See, he doesn't make a

move without us. Now.

Uh, wild guess. They're not in charge.

What's wrong, Vee?The last time Specs and

Trapper worked on a hush-hush project,

Static ended up with a bull's eye on his

back.

How's it look?Somebody's workingovertime.

What?

Earth. Earth.

What?

Yes, Tom. TV monitors. Thank you,

rookies.

Checking sequence. All systems online.

Checking calibration. Ready to initiate

sequence. Holy sock. Bye

Alva Junior. What's going on here?

Status. The dry run appears successful,

Mr. Alba, but we'll have to test the

hair's cellular stability. If all goes

well, full-blown restoration will move

forward on schedule, despite a couple of

late components.

Keep me posted.

Mr. Alva!Mr. Alva, sir, we've been

trying to reach you. Didn't your

assistant give you our messages?She did.

It's about our own project. We've been

keeping it under wraps, but we think

we're ready to show you. I brought you

two in to assist the scientists with my

son's restoration. But,

sir, they're only giving us grunt work to

do. It's boring. I don't care if they

want you to screw in light bulbs, you'll

do it. Understood, boys?

Oh, dissed. I love it. He's

too obsessed with that stone-faced brat

of his. He doesn't care about ourproject.

Well, then, Mr. Trapper will just have to

make him care.

umm This sausage cheese biscuit is the

move. Wow, thank you for the compliment,

Virgil. Yeah, you did a great job of

hiding the styrofoam it came in too.

Oops, my bad. Sorry I overslept.

Got in late last night. Still up to my

neck in the center's financial records.

How's it looking, Pops?Not good. Our

cash reserves are just about at rock

bottom. It's never been this bad before.

Don't worry about me. It's just that

it would be a darn shame after all these

years to see the center close down.

Something will come through, Daddy. It

always does.

Bounce in, bounce in, bounce in, everybody

I was practically raised at this center.

Me too, V. I remember when the hoops had

nets. Here I am, a big-time superhero,

but when it comes to keeping this place

open, I'm powerless. Well, you could

always help with the electric bill.

Uh, that's weird.

Fireworks. Looks like it's coming from

Dakota Stadium. Way too early for the 4th

of July. And the stadium's been closed

for months. This looks like a job, but--

Don't finish that sentence, V. Superman

already owns the rights. Hey!

Man!Just a minute ago, this place was all

the way alive. HuhAnd I'm watching you!

And I'm watching

you! Get you! Get you! Specs?Oh, no.

Specs is history. Say hello to

Spectral. I've got all the colors of the

rainbow static. And

I'm watching you!ice

cold, laser face.

I wonder when he's gonna notice my energy

field. Hey,

who said you were dismissed?

My left hand said on decelerate static.

Hmm, what does my right hand do?

I call myself Speed Trap Now. For

obvious reasons.

Let's try fast and slow. Yeah

Easy as... 3.14 speed

trap pie. Very good,

Mr. Spectral. Nothing like a

life-size lab rat.

Shall we inform Alpha about our catch of

the day?I'll get him. Just make sure the

kilowatt kid doesn't wake up.

Yello. Put that no-good brother of mine

on the phone. And a good evening to you,

Sharon. This is serious, Richie. Virgil

knows he should have been home by now.

Oh, well, he's in the bathroom. Yeah, my

mom's tuna noodle surprise does that to a

person. Tell Virgil to get it in

gear or his dad's about to blow a serious

gasket.

Static?Are you there?It's me.

Static?You okay?Come in, static!

Who's that?

Speed trap. Hold that pose.

If you're wasting my time... Believe me,

Mr. Alva, you will be amazed with what

we've done. Steph. He woke

up, but I have the situation contained,

sir. We captured him for you, Mr. Alva.

You what?Yeah, you always wanted him,

right?We finally figured out a way to

overpower him. You dolts, you imbeciles.

In one hour, they begin my son's

restoration and you lay this on me. Uh,

we have a slight problem.

Better upgrade your flunkies, Alva. He's

getting away!

We'll get him, sir. Wait!

Oh, wrong door. On target

practice again!

I'm too through with this plan.

So close. Uh oh. It's

about to hit the fan.

He had no right to speak to us like that.

Treating us like we're common grunts.

I've never seen him so raged out. And for

who?Sonny Boy. He never liked this kid in

the 1st place. We were more like sons to

him than that block of cement. Well, if

Alva thinks this is over. Hey, what's

with the rent-a-cops?

You're trespassing. Excuse me, we

live here. Not anymore. Alva's

orders. But our stuff's in there. Back

off. ah

Everything on the premises is the

property of Alva Industries. He's

throwing us out on the street. I'd say

this deserves a response. Don't

you, Mr. Trapper?

Fortunately, all the components can be

replaced, but the tech crew says it'll

take three to four months before they get

the scanner back online.

I'll tell them to speed it up, sir.

What's happened here?

Specs and trappists, sir. They

overpowered us.

My son. Gone. I'm gonna shine

Gonna make it to the top of the world

Wild night, huhYeah, and it got wilder

when I got home. Man, my pops chewed me

out so bad, there's still chunks of

Virgil stuck in his teeth. Just for being

late?That's an everyday thing for you.

Yeah, but the community center's got him

stressed big time. And good old Virgil

makes a nice fall guy. What about Alva?

Let Alva handle his own business.

Besides, I got bigger fish to fry. Like

getting in some face time with He Who

Pays Allowance.

Into position. Go! Go!

No sign of anyone yet, sir. Move in!

Sir, it's an ambulance. Everybody back,

backI

could have just gone home, but no, I had

to patrol a little bit longer.

Worthless.

Alva! If we keep bumping heads like this,

we're going to need helmets. They're not

here. This whole thing was a smokescreen.

What are you talking about?Spex and

Trapper. They sent me an e-mail. I had it

traced to this location. They kidnapped

my son. They've had practice. I never

told them to go after you. They acted on

their own. I swear I had nothing to do

with it. Sure you didn't, Pinocchio.

Those twisted little cretins. They want

me to transfer funds. An impossible

amount. What's the matter?Not enough in

petty cash money bags?I only have an

hour left. You've got to help me. I don't

have to do anything. I'll pay you. Name

your price. I'm not for sale. You

know what Specks and Trapper are capable

of. They'll turn my boy into rubble.

Please.

The Vanmore School. I thought after they

closed this place down, I'd never have to

see it again. Where else would those two

hide out, but at their alma mater?I don't

know. Looks pretty dead.

Something's going down. This place is

juiced up. I can feel it. I think we

found Tweedledum and Tweedledummer.

Careful, bro. Maybe they know you're

there, too. You could be walking into a

trap. Occupational hazard, Rich. Static

out.

Bet that's not their only surprise.

Class dismissed.

This beam's got your name on it, Saggy.

No thanks, Goggles. Keep your lasers to

yourself.

Out of juice.

Hope there's something I can use to

recharge in there.

There he is. Oh,

man. Is that what I

think it is?

Chill out, Sparky.

Nice shot, Mr. Spectral. Now we

have two frozen freaks. Hey, isn't

Alpha's time almost up?Actually, he's

got five more seconds. 3-2.

One.

Maybe Alva's just a little late. He's

never late with anything. Obviously, he

doesn't care about his brat. And if he

doesn't care, neither do I.

I think it's time we leave, Mr. Speed

Trap.

The Ice Age is over. I'm

getting tired of this little game. That

makes two of us.

Ten seconds?Man, these guys are not

playing.

Yes!

I wouldn't move if I were you. Ohh

Speed trap, he's getting away. Uh,

we've got other problems.

Hold it steady! Well, duh You're safe,

Stoney. Gotta go back to the techno twin.

It's gone off! I can't get painted!

Uh.. Talk about going out with a bang and

a wimpy.

The two young geniuses have been charged

with kidnapping Edwin Alva, Jr. and

subsequent extortion. They will be tried

as adults. In related news, Alva, Sr.

has made a $10 million endowment to the

Freeman Community Center, saving it from

imminent closure. I wonder who gave him

that idea. Oh, Daddy,

that's fantastic. When I

saw all the zeros on that check, you

could have knocked me over with a

feather. That alpha is the best thing

that happened to this city since. Since

static. I heard that.
