So If you need me just scream.

Don't worry,

If something goes wrong

You'll hear the scream.

Oh, you got this.

Up, up and away.

William.

Looking well rested, brother.

You used me.

Like I use everyone.

Life's more fun that way.

Stop what you're doing.

Stop?

I've only just begun.

I don't think so.

Hey, Denny?

Yeah?

We found dad.

All I ever wanted was

to be something more.

Something bigger

than what I was.

Yet,

evolution found you first.

And you didn't even want it.

I didn't choose

this life for myself.

William, you had a

chance to be normal.

To live without constantly

putting your family in danger.

I didn't want a family!

Sometimes a family finds you

whether you want them or not.

And for the record,

I think you'd make

a very terrible father figure.

Boys!

Dad.

So.

What's it going to be,

Uncle Billy?

You're gonna take

some responsibility?

Or fight?

Why do I waste

my energy on you?

Look at you.

The zero energy

didn't want you either.

And I don't need you anymore.

Denny!

Archie, do you think you can

hack the machine and reverse it?

Let me go.

I...I don't know. Maybe.

Use that brain

and figure it out, man.

I used to protect you

from everything.

Bullies, our horrible father.

But now I just want to

throw you to the wolves.

Uh, I think I did it.

Throw the switch, Archie.

Dad!

Throw the switch now!

Betsy Jessica barnet.

Whoo!

This is going to take forever.

You're just mad you're

not walking with them.

I can still fry you, you know.

Hey, fry me and I won't tutor

you for summer school.

Dennis Nathaniel Burke.

Go Denny!

Oh, there he is.

Still need to learn

to control that.

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I present the graduating class

of pellian city high school.

Okay, so everyone smile.

Say, zero energy.

I mean, cheese.

Cheese.

All right.

Thank you.

So, are you excited

about going back

to work at the shop?

It's a good job,

and it should tie me over

until I can make

enough money to move.

So...

Where are you moving?

I hear Florida's nice.

And until then you're

just gonna have to

port back and forth to see me.

No, I don't know If I can

come back every weekend.

Oh, don't worry,

I'll put a fire under you.

So we going

to that party later, man?

For sure. You definitely have

to hit me up about that...

I'm so sorry.

I... I'm sorry.

Hey, genius.

You know what, my bad.

Free punch. Okay?

Yeah.

Ready. Ready?

Ah!

Dude!

Um,

don't forget to drink your milk.

So out in Uncle Billy's land,

I mean, the scientists, the

buildings, what happened?

It's just all gone.

It's like they were never there.

They gutted everything.

We think there must

have been some plan

in case Uncle Billy

ever disappeared.

What about your dad?

He hasn't turned up.

The last blast completely

fixed me though.

Doctors said it was

a minor miracle.

Denny, there's nothing

minor about it.

It was a miracle though.

Yeah.

Lisa, I've been thinking.

We've been through a lot

the past few days.

The past few months.

And I've been trying

to make sense of it all.

I was unfair to you,

when we were together.

I was hurt and I closed off.

But, when I nearly lost you

back there it almost killed me.

I want to be a better man.

I want to be there

for you. Always.

I want us to be happy together.

Me, too.

So, why did we break up?

Because I was waiting

for you to figure that out.

And now?

I think you've made a pretty

successful recovery.

Good.

High school's tough.

Sometimes I felt like

i was all alone,

but really I had help

all along.

There was family.

Your family is what

you make it,

but with the right people

supporting you,

you can overcome any obstacle,

defeat any villain.

Yesterday I woke up

and I thought

i knew everything there

was to know about my life.

But what I learned is this.

We're not just regular people,

we're something more.

Smile.

We're heroes.

Now joke came around,

feet off the ground

thinks he loves you,

loves you when you get down

Oh, my time is running out

and, yes, my fists

ready for a shootout

I'll beat his ass,

turn that grin into a frown

me and you

we're never coming down

you got nothing wrong

you killa

thrilla in manila

the lipstick stains

on your boxing gloves

you got what I love,

you got what I love

Whatcha gonna do

when I fight for you

Whatcha gonna do

when I fight for you

thrilla in manila

thrilla in manila

Whatcha gonna do

when I fight for you

Whatcha gonna do

when I fight for you

thrilla in manila

thrilla in manila

thrilla in manila

I'll set fire

on the Western coast

creepin' like a child

when you know It's close

wishbone called

and I know It's late

gonna set my body

on fire today

and you could change

your mind

If you can get away

yes, we can go

and face the past

and play the getaway

If you know that

you're all right

you can get away

If you find another time

there's still things to say

If you called it out loud

fever coming down

and you heard him say

If you know

that you're all right

left for a bruiser

when the sun came down

my body is broken no feel

left that can be found

wishbone called

and I know It's late

I'd set my body

on fire today

and you could change

your mind

If you can get away

yes, we can go

and face the past

and play the getaway

If you know

that you're all right

you can get away

If you find another time

there's still things to say

If you called it out loud

fever coming down

and you heard him say

If you know

that you're all right

Found him

on the Mountain last week.

Third degree burns

over 95% of his body.

We had to restrain him,

kept attacking the orderlies.

He talk yet?

Just keeps saying one word,

over and over again.

Burke.

Calm down, son.

I know you're angry.

Them Burke boys

did this to you?

I know them Burke boys,

Mr. Finch, from way back.

Nothing but trouble.

Kevin!

You get yourself all healed up,

then you come see me.

About time I brought

some trouble of my own

down on them Burke boys.
