1. thud
Copy !req

Copy !req
3. Can't you speed
this up, Frieda?
Copy !req
4. I mean how long does it take
to suck up the ambiance
Copy !req
5. of the track team, anyway.
Copy !req
6. My strength as a reporter,
is getting the story.
Copy !req
7. No matter how long it takes.
Copy !req
8. Oh, come on, yo, your strength
is being the only kid
Copy !req
9. willing to stay after school
for journalism club.
Copy !req
10. Humph!
Copy !req
11. - Hey, Derek! Good job.
- That's awesome.
Copy !req
12. Oh! Like mercury racing
against turtles.
Copy !req
13. You're drooling all over
my knapsack, Frieda.
Copy !req
14. What's Derek Barnett
got that I don't have.
Copy !req
15. Let's make a list.
Copy !req
16. Looks, height,
all-state in track and field.
Copy !req
17. Shall I quit
while you're behind?
Copy !req
18. I thought we were tight,
Rich.
Copy !req
19. We are, V!
Just keeping it real.
Copy !req
20. - 'Derek!'
- Hi.
Copy !req
21. He's coming this way!
Maybe I can get an exclusive.
Copy !req

Copy !req
23. Uh!
Copy !req
24. - What's up, Virgil?
- Uh, hey, Derek.
Copy !req
25. - What's going on?
- Can you do a solid for me?
Copy !req
26. - Me?
- Him?
Copy !req
27. My math and science grades
are a little shaky.
Copy !req
28. Coach said get a tutor
or I'm off the team.
Copy !req
29. You're the man with the brain!
Can you help me?
Copy !req
30. Awesome! Uh, sure.
We can do the tutoring thing.
Copy !req
31. Cool! Check you later, then.
Copy !req
32. Derek, just one question!
Copy !req
33. Derek, slow down!
Copy !req
34. Do you know what hanging with
Derek "D.B." Barnett's
Copy !req
35. gonna do to my rep?
Copy !req
36. Uh, start it?
Copy !req
37. Jeez, Sharon!
A little privacy, please.
Copy !req
38. Just getting some
fruit, baby bro.
Copy !req
39. I apologize for my sister
sucking up
Copy !req
40. all the good air
around you, D!
Copy !req
41. - Ow!
- Happy studying, Derek.
Copy !req
42. Trade ya your sweat socks
for my sister.
Copy !req
43. Now, let's hit
that algebra book.
Copy !req
44. Oh, great!
All those Xs and Ys.
Copy !req
45. - It's alphabet soup to me.
- Don't sweat it, DB.
Copy !req
46. Just think of algebra as
something
Copy !req
47. you'll never use as an adult.
Copy !req
48. That'll take the edge
off learning it now.
Copy !req
49. Heh heh.. Unh! Oh, not now.
Copy !req
50. - What's wrong?
- Uhh!
Copy !req
51. Unh! Been getting
these cramps lately.
Copy !req
52. Must be a special
athlete's thing.
Copy !req
53. Too much exercise
or something.
Copy !req
54. Yeah, I guess
I... I gotta jet, Virgil.
Copy !req
55. I, um, promised my mother
I'd stop at a store for her.
Copy !req
56. Well, what about algebra?
Copy !req
57. We'll get to it tomorrow, okay?
Copy !req
58. Don't mind me, boys.
Copy !req
59. Just getting some H20.
Copy !req
60. No problem, Mr. Hawkins.
Copy !req
61. I'm leaving.
I can feel those A's already.
Copy !req
62. They'll put a smile on
my mom's face again. Thanks, V.
Copy !req
63. Proud of you
for helping Derek, son.
Copy !req
64. Pops, when you're
touched by genius
Copy !req
65. you've gotta share the gift.
Copy !req
66. Besides, thanks to him, I'm
finally meeting cheerleaders.
Copy !req
67. Ugh! Oh, no! Not again!
Copy !req
68. Whew!
Copy !req
69. If I can just get home.
Copy !req
70. - Argh!
- Hey, kid, are you okay?
Copy !req
71. It's a bang baby!
Copy !req
72. Wait!
Copy !req
73. Wha-what's happening to me?
Copy !req
74. Jeez!
Copy !req
75. Aah!
Copy !req
76. It's great!
It's called the butter diet.
Copy !req
77. Sorry, ladies!
Copy !req
78. zap
Copy !req
79. meow
Copy !req
80. sniff sniff sniff
Copy !req
81. meow
Copy !req
82. Gotta get help!
Copy !req
83. Help is here.
Copy !req
84. Huh?
Ah!
Copy !req
85. What?
Copy !req
86. You're lucky
I was in the hood.
Copy !req
87. Who are you?
Copy !req
88. I'm a collector
of metahumans like you.
Copy !req
89. No.
Copy !req
90. You've really gone mental
now, Richie.
Copy !req
91. What am I going to do with this
wrinkly piece of foil?
Copy !req
92. Toss it in the air
and give it some juice, bro.
Copy !req
93. Hello!
Copy !req
94. Yeah! It's Mylar, dude.
Copy !req
95. Stuff's stronger than
reinforced steel.
Copy !req
96. I call it...
the static saucer!
Copy !req
97. I call it my slick new ride!
Copy !req
98. And just in time
for patrol, too.
Copy !req
99. Man, you the man!
Copy !req
100. Just doing my job.
Copy !req
101. So, Derek didn't show up
for tutoring again, huh?
Copy !req
102. Yeah! No one at school's
seen him in days.
Copy !req
103. Not even his track buddies.
Copy !req
104. - Dude's gone completely AWOL.
- What do you think?
Copy !req
105. Don't know what to think, Rich.
Copy !req
106. But I'll keep an
electric eye out for him.
Copy !req
107. No crime in sight!
Copy !req
108. Guess they know that
when Static's in the house
Copy !req
109. bad guys better step off.
Copy !req
110. Unh! Aah!
Copy !req
111. Am I seeing things
or did I just get jacked
Copy !req
112. by a girl with feathers?
Copy !req
113. Aw, man!
Copy !req
114. My gear smells like
Chinese takeout!
Copy !req
115. - 'Hey, electric boy!'
- Whoa!
Copy !req
116. Nice leap, super shocker
Copy !req
117. or whatever your name is.
Copy !req
118. Can we play again, huh?
Copy !req
119. Huh, can we?
Copy !req
120. That's what you
get for dissing me. Aah!
Copy !req
121. Ooh!
Copy !req
122. Nowhere to run, bay-bee!
Copy !req
123. Nowhere to hide!
Copy !req
124. So holding hands and singing
Kumbaya is out, huh?
Copy !req
125. Relax, hero we just wanted to
get your attention.
Copy !req
126. Aah!
Copy !req
127. Who turned off
the lights! Whoa!
Copy !req
128. What was that ride?
The Twilight zone express?
Copy !req
129. Man! Talk about
your last stop.
Copy !req
130. 'It serves our needs
quite well.'
Copy !req
131. Call me Ebon,
master of shadow and darkness.
Copy !req
132. - Not very modest, are you?
- No time for modesty, hero.
Copy !req
133. I believe
you've met my partners?
Copy !req
134. Talon.
Copy !req
135. We've already bumped
into each other.
Copy !req
136. She's our little turtledove.
Copy !req
137. Then there's Shiv.
Copy !req
138. Hey! Aah!
Copy !req
139. Dang! My aim is off today.
Copy !req
140. Not the only thing
that's off.
Copy !req
141. Shiv makes light-energy weapons,
the sharper the better.
Copy !req
142. And this is our latest recruit,
a powerhouse of ionic energy.
Copy !req
143. D-struct, he's a little shy
at first, but he warms up.
Copy !req
144. Don't I know it?
Copy !req
145. So, you bring me down here
for a meet and greet?
Copy !req
146. - More like a proposition.
- Oh, really?
Copy !req
147. Join us. We're a new breed,
the metabreed.
Copy !req
148. Good for you!
Copy !req
149. But I think
I'm out of your species.
Copy !req
150. Just because the gas didn't mess
up your face
Copy !req
151. doesn't mean you're not
a freak like us! Argh!
Copy !req
152. Up there, they call us
creatures, monsters.
Copy !req
153. They force us
to go underground.
Copy !req
154. But it's all to the good, we've
been biding our time, bonding.
Copy !req
155. Take D-struct here.
Up there, he was an outcast.
Copy !req
156. But with us, he's found
a home? Right, Derek.
Copy !req
157. - Derek!
- So, what about my offer, hero?
Copy !req
158. Uh, thanks, but I don't
play well with others.
Copy !req
159. You think you're
better than us!
Copy !req
160. Temper, Talon.
Copy !req
161. He needs time to
think about it.
Copy !req
162. Whoa!
Copy !req
163. - Ah!
- I warn you, Static.
Copy !req
164. If you're not down with us, you
go right to the top of our list.
Copy !req
165. See ya soon.
Copy !req
166. Even Ripley wouldn't
believe this.
Copy !req
167. I'm telling you, Rich,
that Ebon guy
Copy !req
168. called D-struct "Derek".
And Derek was AWOL again today.
Copy !req
169. Coincidence? Please!
Copy !req
170. - Yes?
- Mrs. Barnett?
Copy !req
171. I'm Virgil and this is Richie.
Copy !req
172. - We're from Derek's school.
- Have you seen Derek?
Copy !req
173. - Do you know where he is?
- You don't know?
Copy !req
174. Derek hasn't been home
for four days.
Copy !req
175. We've been arguing lately
about his grades.
Copy !req
176. Maybe I was too hard on him.
He stormed off.
Copy !req
177. Mrs. Barnett, he wouldn't run
away 'cause of that.
Copy !req
178. I'm sure of it. He was working
with me on his grades.
Copy !req
179. - Then why would he leave?
- I wish I knew.
Copy !req
180. Please, if you see my son
tell him to come home.
Copy !req
181. There! I got the city grid
on the screen.
Copy !req
182. Okay. Now to access the list
of Dakota subway stations.
Copy !req
183. Don't forget to plug-in
the letters "M-I."
Copy !req
184. Yeah, yeah.
Uh-oh! 30 entries?
Copy !req
185. Aw, man.
"M-I" could mean anything.
Copy !req
186. We need more info, V.
Copy !req
187. Get up, Shiv! Time to move.
Copy !req
188. Oh, just five more minutes,
mommy! Oh!
Copy !req
189. Get up! I won't ask again!
Copy !req
190. You're tense, Ebon.
Somebody needs a hug.
Copy !req
191. Or maybe not.
Copy !req
192. Hey, where's D-struct?
Copy !req
193. Why torture yourself, D-struct?
Copy !req
194. You should accept your gift.
Copy !req
195. Up there, all you were good
for was running around a track.
Copy !req
196. And even that they were gonna
take away from you.
Copy !req
197. But after tonight you'll
show them your true power.
Copy !req
198. We all will. Let's go.
Copy !req
199. Looks like you had
a good weekend.
Copy !req
200. Real good, heh,
I'll be glad when all this cash
Copy !req
201. is under lock and key.
Copy !req
202. What the..
Copy !req
203. Davis, it's me.
Copy !req
204. - Yeah?
- Two guys. Bang babies
Copy !req
205. It's our coming out party,
D-struct. You're up. Do it!
Copy !req
206. boom
Copy !req
207. Ah! Ooh! Ugh!
Copy !req
208. Pow!
Copy !req
209. zap
Copy !req
210. 2-11 in progress,
Dakota sports shop!
Copy !req
211. 'Request backup!
Request backup!'
Copy !req
212. 10-4!
Copy !req
213. Ow!
Copy !req
214. See, D-struct? Easier than
a jog around the track.
Copy !req
215. Now, you know that money
doesn't belong to you.
Copy !req
216. - Argh!
- Not so fast, beaky!
Copy !req
217. Claw your way out of that!
Copy !req
218. Sosa dreams of being this
good!
Copy !req
219. Ripping off sporting
good stores?
Copy !req
220. What kind of athlete
are you, Barnett?
Copy !req
221. - How'd you..
- I know it's you, Derek.
Copy !req
222. Don't go out like this, man.
Copy !req
223. He's out to get you!
Ice this sucker! Now!
Copy !req
224. Aah!
Copy !req
225. zap
Copy !req
226. Whoa! Whoa!
Copy !req
227. Whoa! Aah!
Copy !req
228. Huh! Wonder if Tarzan
has days like this.
Copy !req
229. Whoa! I'm rolling
in the Benjamin's!
Copy !req
230. Care for a swim?
Copy !req
231. Grr! You play around
too much.
Copy !req
232. Loosen up!
Copy !req
233. - Buy yourself a manicure!
- Ugh!
Copy !req
234. Don't wanna join in,
D-struct?
Copy !req
235. A shame. You have the most
to celebrate.
Copy !req
236. That shot took Static
out permanently. Good job.
Copy !req
237. So what do I tell his mother?
Copy !req
238. I found your son,
Mrs. Barnett.
Copy !req
239. Bad news is, he's living in a
tunnel with a bunch of freaks.
Copy !req
240. Good news is,
he's his own night-light.
Copy !req
241. I got something!
Copy !req
242. I cross-referenced all abandoned
Copy !req
243. subway stations with "M-I" in
the title with demolition dates.
Copy !req
244. There's only one station
with no date.
Copy !req
245. The old milestone
street station.
Copy !req
246. I better get going.
Copy !req
247. Time Derek and I had a talk
metahuman to metahuman.
Copy !req
248. What are you going
to say to him?
Copy !req
249. What can you say to him?
Copy !req
250. Gonna improvise.
Copy !req
251. Whew! This place needs like
a gallon of air freshener!
Copy !req
252. Derek!
Copy !req
253. - You? But I thought I—
- You thought wrong, D.
Copy !req
254. I got more lives
than Madonna has hairstyles.
Copy !req
255. No, I... I can't.
Copy !req
256. You don't belong down here.
Copy !req
257. People miss you, man.
Copy !req
258. Your friends... your mother.
Copy !req
259. Look at me. I'm a freak!
Copy !req
260. My moms don't need
to deal with this!
Copy !req
261. Just because Ebon wants you
to think
Copy !req
262. that way
doesn't mean you have to.
Copy !req
263. To your moms,
you're always gonna be Derek.
Copy !req
264. No matter what you look like.
Don't do this to her.
Copy !req
265. She thinks you left
'cause of her.
Copy !req
266. Hey! Argh! Umh!
Copy !req
267. You are working
my last nerve, hero.
Copy !req
268. Ha!
Copy !req
269. Ionize him!
Copy !req
270. Past time I did
the right thing!
Copy !req
271. Unh! Unh!
Copy !req
272. zap
Copy !req
273. They have the advantage
down here. We need to jet, D!
Copy !req
274. - Come on!
- Right behind you!
Copy !req
275. All aboard!
Copy !req
276. Yes!
Copy !req
277. Get 'em!
Copy !req
278. Static express, y'all.
Copy !req
279. Next stop, anywhere
but the last one.
Copy !req
280. You're a weak! You don't have
what it takes to be one of us.
Copy !req
281. Hey, turkey girl!
This car's full!
Copy !req
282. Unh!
Copy !req
283. Whoa! Huh?
Copy !req
284. Peekaboo!
Copy !req
285. My turn.
Copy !req
286. boom
Copy !req
287. Wild! Ugh!
Copy !req
288. You two have been a major
disappointment to me!
Copy !req
289. For that, I'm sending you both
on a one-way trip to oblivion.
Copy !req
290. Cover your eyes!
Copy !req
291. zap
Copy !req
292. Unh! Argh!
Copy !req
293. I knew he'd see the light
some day.
Copy !req
294. Man, are they happy to see each
other again or what?
Copy !req
295. Sure beats being stuck with
shadow man and his sideshow!
Copy !req
296. 'Yeah, and Derek volunteering
himself to be a guinea pig'
Copy !req
297. for Big Bang Research,
that takes real guts.
Copy !req
298. After what he's been through
Copy !req
299. DB's got guts to spare.
Copy !req
300. - Well, time to head home.
- Amen!
Copy !req
301. But the subway's out okay?
Copy !req
