else now, Bob. It's just us.

We can't wait for...

No lifeguard on duty.

Swim at your own risk.

Oh, where'd you go today?

I noticed you missed all the fun.

Don't be mad, because I know

when to leave a party.

I'm just as illegal as you guys, besides

I knew the cops would let you go.

- Yeah. It's quite a far fetched excuse

- Yeah, yeah.

I heard the program shut down.

- How much longer are you in this motel?

- 2 weeks.

And you know the offer still stands.

You're very generous,

but there's five of us.

We wouldn't do that

to you and Honey.

The door's always open.

You know the news isn't all bad.

While you guys were

being detained,

I was approached by a dude

who represents this tycoon.

Winston Deavor.

Wants to talk with me,

with you too, about hero stuff.

I checked him out, he's legit,

trained under Dicker,

he wants to meet.

Aw, jeez, more Superhero trouble?

We just came from the police

station Lucius.

- When?

- Tonight, I'm going there, now.

You enjoy. I'm sittin' this one out.

He wants all three of us.

Honey, let's just, at least

hear what he has to say.

You got the address,

I'll meet you guys there.

We go in our supersuits?

Yeah. Might wanna wear the old supersuits.

Got a feeling he's nostalgic.

Where are you going?

The fresh air is

especially good tonight.

- If Jack-Jack wakes up...

- I know the drill.

Your security badge.

Please this way.

Hey listen, you're my biggest fan.

What am I saying? I'm your biggest...

Shoot.

I love superheroes!

The powers, the costumes,

the mythic struggles!

Winston Deavor. You can call me Win.

Genuine pleasure to meet you.

Frozone!

- Elastigirl.

- Nice to meet you.

- Mr. Incredible.

- Hello.

Mr. Incredible,

Incredible, Incredible.

Catching the bad guys,

Catching the bad guys,

pow, pow, pow!

pow, pow, pow!

Who's the cat that got the skill

When survival odds are close to nil?

Frozone, Frozone.

Frozone!

Frozone!

Yeah!

Can't tell you what

a thrill this is.

- And this is ...

- Oh, hello there.

Superheroes, I'm so sorry.

...is my TARDY sister, Evelyn.

And I'm scolding myself, so,

you don't have to, Winston.

Spectacular.

My father was so proud

that I was even remotely

connected to you guys.

He used to call you,

the last line of defense.

He was your top supporter.

He donated to superhero causes,

he raised money for the

Dynaguy statue in Avery Park.

He got to know many supers, personally.

Even installed a phone

with direct lines

to Gazerbeam and Bionic

in case of emergencies.

He loved that.

Showed it off to everyone.

He was heartbroken when you were

all forced to go underground.

Father believed the world be

more dangerous without you.

But, you know how right he was.

There was a break-in.

My father called Gazerbeam,

the direct line.

No answer.

He called Bionic.

No answer.

Superheroes had just been made illegal.

The robbers discovered him

on the phone, and shot him.

So...

Must've been hard.

Especially for mother.

She died a few months later.

Heartbreak.

If superheroes had not been forced

underground it never would've happened.

Or dad could've taken mom to his safe-room

as soon as he knew there was trouble.

I disagree strongly, but we're

not going into it right now.

The point is nobody expected us

to be able to actually

run dad's company.

But with Evelyn as designer,

and myself as operator,

we threw ourselves into building

Devtech into what it is today.

A world-class

telecommunications company.

Bigger than ever.

and perfectly positioned to

make some wrong things, right.

Hence, this meeting.

Let me ask you something.

What is the main you were

all forced underground?

- Ignorance.

- Perception.

Take today, for example,

with the Underminer.

Difficult situation: you were faced

with a lot of hard decisions.

- Oh, tell me about it.

- I can't.

Because, I didn't see it.

Neither did anyone else.

So, when you fight bad guys, like today,

people don't see the fight,

or what led up to it.

They see what politicians

tell them to see.

They see the destruction,

and they see you.

So if we want change people's

perceptions about superheroes,

we need YOU to share YOUR

perceptions with the world.

- How do we do that?

- With cameras.

we need YOU to share YOUR

perceptions with the world.

How do we do that?

We embed tiny cameras like those

into your super suit.

Wow, so small!

- And the picture is outstanding.

- Thanks, I designed it myself.

We've got resources, lobbyists, world-wide

connections and, very important,

- Insurance.

- Insurance is key.

All we need now,

are the superest superheroes.

It means you three.

Come on, help me make

all supers legal again!

This sounds great!

Let's get this going,

what's my first assignment?

That enthusiasm is golden.

Hold onto it.

But for our first move, well,

Elastigirl is our best play.

- Better than me?

- Ahem!

I mean, she's good.

She's, really, a credit to her, but...

you know ... You know.

With great respect,

let's not test the whole,

'insurance-will-pay-for-everything' idea,

on the first go 'round, OK?

Wait a minute, you're saying what?

I'm messy?

Well, Evelyn did a cost-benefit

analysis comparing

all your last 5 years of crime-fighting,

before going underground.

And Elastigirl's numbers

are self-explanatory.

Oh, it's not a fair comparison.

Heavyweight problems,

need heavyweight solutions.

Of course! We're gonna solve

all kinds of problems together.

After a perfect launch with Elastigirl!

- So, what do you say?

- What do I say?

I don't know.

What do you mean,

you don't know?

A few hours ago, you were saying

it was over.

That being a superhero

was a fantasy.

Now, you get the offer of a lifetime

and you don't know?

It's not that simple, Bob.

I wanna protect the kids.

- So do I.

- From jail, Bob!

How do you do that?

By turning down the chance

to change the law that's forcing

them to hide what they are?

They haven't decided what they are!

They're still kids.

Kids with powers,

which makes them supers.

Whether they decide to use

those powers, or not.

- This will benefit them.

- Look, it's not a good time to be away.

Dashiel's having trouble

with homework,

Violet's worried about her first

date with that boy she likes, Tony.

- And Jack-Jack ...

- Jack-Jack? What's wrong with him?

OK, nothing's wrong with Jack-Jack.

But, even a normal baby

needs a lot of attention.

- I'm just not sure I can leave.

- Of course you can leave.

You've got to, so that I...

WE could be supers, again.

So, our kids can have that choice.

- So you can have that choice.

- All right, yes!

So I can have that choice.

And I would do a great job.

Regardless of what those dumb

pie charts say, or whatever.

But they want you.

And you'll do a great...

job.

Sure.

That was excruciating to watch.

I can't lie to you,

it's nice to be wanted.

- Flattery, you know. But...

- What's the choice?
