? Who's the improbable duo That you've heard about? ?

? Faster than a scooter Stronger than metal ?

? Who's the little girl And her domesticated rodent? ?

? Who's still standing when You see the dust settle? ?

? It's Hamster Hamster, Hamster ?

? Hamster and Gretel ?

? If they can't do it Then nobody can ?

? Hamster, Hamster, Hamster ?

? Hamster and Gretel ?

? There's also Kevin In the minivan ?

[Hiromi] So, through my investigation, I found

that Hamster and Gretel were there when Super Guy made this video.

I'm not sure how yet, but they were definitely involved in his disappearance.

Excellent work. And I love the red string.

Very festive.

Thanks. The craft store had a great sale on conspiracy yarn.

? Conspiracy yarn ?

? The best way Of putting things together ?

? Or so they'd have us believe ?

I bet Hamster and Gretel wanted Super Guy gone

so they'd get all the attention.

Now show me you're serious and go get that interview.

If you do, I can recommend you

for an investigative journalism internship.

[gasps] An internship?

Well, oh, but I haven't had much luck

getting Hamster and Gretel to talk to me.

Hamster, Gretel, quick question about Super Guy.

Sorry. Gotta go get this surfboard fixed.

[cars honking]

- Can I ask you- - Sorry.

Gotta go take this tree to jail.

- Just one quick- - Sorry.

We've gotta take this pumpkin to a hospital.

What you need is leverage.

You have to make them think that they have to talk to you

or something bad will happen.

Like a villain would do?

That's a great idea that you came up with all by yourself.

Yes, you should pretend to be a villain.

Come up with a whole supervillain persona,

complete with vague, veiled threats.

Then they'll have to talk to you.

Uh, okay, but doesn't that seem a little extreme?

There's no such thing as going too far

in search of the truth.

Do you want the internship or not?

Yes. Yes. I'll do whatever it takes.

She's right. I can't let anything stop me from-

- Oh! Sorry, didn't see you there. - It was my fault.

So, I feel like we haven't talked in forever.

Yeah. I've been really wrapped up in this whole journalism thing.

I'm trying to score an interview with Hamster and Gretel

for my Super Guy expose.

Oh, you-you're still trying to crack that one, huh?

I thought you'd maybe move on to something more interesting.

You don't think a missing superhero is interesting?

It's just like there are more interesting things.

Like linoleum floors. Why are those two squares of different shade?

Sorry, Kevin, I gotta go.

A lot of work to do.

Oh! What about walls?

Oh, Kevin.

[? upbeat instrumental rock music playing]

? It's really just a masquerade ?

? But you know that I'm all About the follow-through ?

? Later, you might realize That you've been played ?

? But I'm still gonna get That interview ?

? I'm gonna hit 'em With the hardball questions ?

? They're gonna know That they've been grilled ?

? I won't loosen my grip ?

? I want that internship ?

? 'Cause I feel A little unfulfilled ?

? I'm becoming costumed now ?

? But I'm filled With apprehensions ?

? 'Cause I'm going back Going back ?

? With good intentions ?

? I'm going back With good intentions ?

? I'm going back ?

? I really want to get 'em To fess up ?

? So I'm not above playing A little bit of dress-up ?

? Ahh ?

? With good intentions ?

Her name is Miss Direct, and her creepy symbol is all over town.

- That's vandalism. - Actually, the paint she's been using

appeared to be water soluble.

Water soluble or not, what do you make of this weird countdown?

No idea. But can we talk about Hiromi for a second?

I think we should let her in on the secrets.

Super Guy, Hamster and Gretel, everything.

Again, Kevin?

Maybe if we tell her the truth, she won't write a story.

And that's the only reason you want to tell her?

Well, I hate lying to her, and things have been super awkward between us.

- There it is. - Kevin, we can't tell Hiromi

just because you have a crush on her.

We can trust Hiromi. I promise.

None of you are on my side? Fine.

I'm gonna take a walk and think about how no one's on my side.

[device beeping]

Uh-oh. Looks like Miss Direct is finally making her move.

[low, distorted voice] Hello, Hamster and Gretel.

It is I, Miss Direct.

A really evil villain.

If you want to prevent my minions from attacking the city,

meet me at this warehouse.

You have one hour.

Wait. No, you can fly.

You have two minutes!

Time to put a stop to this graffiti artist.

Let's go, Hamster.

And maybe we stop at the little Scandinavian market afterward.

It's the only place you can buy pickled herring.

Ugh.

Or we can get something you like.

[sighs] Could this day get any worse?

[roaring]

- [screams] - No, Gus. Bad kitty.

- Uh, aren't you a cutie-patootie? - [roars]

Oh, hey, Kevin. What are you up to?

Not much, just almost getting eaten by a tiger.

Sorry about that. My annoying brother

let all the big cats out of the zoo and I'm putting them back.

[sighs in relief] That's a relief to hear.

Guess I can keep sulking without being eaten.

Sulking? What's up?

I'm having a disagreement with a few friends

and family and pet. Ah, it's complicated.

Oh, well, you want to talk about it?

I just have to pop Gus back in the zoo.

[screams] I don't think this is safe.

No, don't worry about it. I fly all the time.

Okay, Miss Direct, we're here.

What do you want with us?

And could you turn down the heat a little?

It's like the surface of the sun in here.

I've been there, so I would know.

[evil laughter echoing]

Hamster and Gretel,

we... Oh. Can you move over to the left?

[clears throat] No, left.

Wait. My left or your left?

Maybe she means my left.

Our left is the same.

Ooh, is that pickled herring?

Hamster and Gretel, we finally meet.

[? suspenseful music playing]

It is I...

[high pitched voice over speaker] Miss Direct.

Whoa. Why does your voice sound so weird?

Ugh! Last time I buy a mask online.

[low, distorted voice] Just ignore it.

My minions are poised to destroy the city.

[evil laughter effect plays]

But you can stop it

if you answer all my questions.

Oh, I get it. You're gonna ask us some riddles, and we have to-

No, not riddles, just very direct questions.

First up, where's the superhero known as Super Guy?

- That's not a riddle. - I just said they weren't riddles.

Uh, so, besides me,

how many people have you told about your secret identity?

Let's see. Oh, yeah. Uh, no one.

- No one? - Nope.

What if the wrong person found out?

But wouldn't life be easier if the people you care about just knew

so you didn't have to pretend all the time?

But the people I care about could be put in danger.

Having superpowers comes with sacrifices.

So it's not always about what I want.

Yeah, I guess it isn't all about me. I mean you.

Now, I have a question for you.

- Shoot. - Can I borrow your math text book?

I accidentally left mine in Gus's enclosure and...

[growling]

Sure, but mine's across town.

That's no problem.

[screams] Why did you bring the tiger?

Question 26.

How did you get your powers?

We told you, they came from aliens.

Oh, come on, you need to take this seriously.

Oh, mouse in the corner!

Actually, I'm a hamster on a table.

No, not you. Oh!

No. Oh, go away.

- You want us to leave? - No, you stay.

[grunting]

- [panicked yelps over speaker] - Uh, what's going on?

Nothing.

Where is it, where is it? [yelps]

[yelling]

- Oh! - Can you hurry this along?

[grunts]

[yells]

Most villains are much more organized than this.

Hey, if you had just answered my questions last week,

we wouldn't even be here.

Wait, what questions last week?

The only person asking us a bunch of annoying questions is Hiromi.

My questions aren't annoying. I mean, I'm not Hiromi. Who's that?

Hmm, I have a feeling that Miss Direct is Hiromi.

Only one way to find out.

No, no, sit down.

I'm really going to destroy the city.

Don't test me. Stop right now!

Don't you open that door! Don't look inside.

Oh!

[normal voice] Hamster and Gretel. What are you guys doing here?

I knew it was you, Hiromi.

That was a dirty trick.

- We're out of here. - Wait, wait. I'm sorry.

All I want is the truth.

Well, the truth could have

big consequences for us and the people we love.

And why did you have to pick such a hot warehouse?

It's like the surface of the sun in here, which I've been to.

- You already said that. - I'm dehydrated.

My journalism teacher helped me get it.

She has a lot of warehouse connections.

Is that normal for a teacher?

I'm genuinely asking. I don't know. I'm a hamster.

You can tell your strange warehouse teacher

that you're never getting our interview.

Come on, Hamster.

Yoo-hoo, Hiromi!

Miss Knight. I didn't expect to see you here.

I'm just checking in like the wonderful mentor that I am.

- How did the interview go? - Terrible.

They wouldn't answer any of my questions.

It's boiling in here and I'm starting to feel-

Did they drink out of the water bottles I told you to put out?

Well, yeah,

- but I- - We've got 'em!

Wait. What?

Now to get a sample of the DNA

and put it in the school's DNA analyzer.

Where did the school get money for a DNA analyzer?

You know, the school's after-school program?

The school doesn't have an after-school program.

Exactly.

- Now we just put this here- - You're gonna run Hamster and Gretel's DNA?

Well, Gretel's DNA,

and then we'll match it against the town's database.

There's no DNA database for hamsters. I've checked.

I don't know about this.

It feels like we're crossing a line.

Hirom, Hiromi, Hiromi.

Do you want to be a journalist or not?

Yes, of course.

I'm gonna go get a snack from the vending machine.

You want anything? You've earned it.

I'm fine. Thanks.

Oh, and, Hiromi, you've done great work today.

[sighs] Then why do I feel so bad?

Whoa!

What on earth?

Why does Miss Knight have a collection of lifelike masks?

Wait a minute.

This one looks like...

- [gasps] - Fred.

Oh, I'm so glad I ran into you.

- I know- - Wait, wait. I know what you think I'm gonna say.

We should tell Hiromi that I'm Super Guy

and my little sister Gretel and her pet

are superhero Hamster and Gretel.

- Hang on- - Fred, please stop interrupting me.

Just let me get this out.

The last thing I'd want to do is put my little sister in danger.

It would be cool if Hiromi knew that I'm Super Guy,

but if I told her that, she'd probably figure out the whole thing.

And it's just that she's so smart and cool and...

Man, I like her so much.

You think she's smart and cool?

Oh. [laughs] I get it.

It's super obvious that I have a ginormous crush on her.

Hey, did you change your clothes? And is your voice different?

And are you an inch taller?

- [yelps] - [machine dings]

[automated voice] DNA results ready.
