[indistinct chatter]
- Candide, huh? She's hot. - What'd you say?
I mean, she sells lots of records.
More cash for us to grab, you know.
Wouldn't want to think you was blowin' me off for some singer.
Hey, don't talk dumb. You're my homegirl.
You think I'd blow that?
Wouldn't wanna be here if you did.
♪ I'm here to let you know ♪
[indistinct chatter]
Here you are, been waiting long?
Yeah, only since last Thursday.
[laughs] Listen, thanks for holding a spot in in for me.
No big, how'd practice go?
Oh, we did our best time ever in the relay.
You are coming to the swim meet Friday, aren't you?
Ha-ha, us miss a chance to see 20 girls in swimsuits?
Oh, will definitely be there.
On second thought, forget I mentioned it.
What'd I tell you, Candide baby?
You got a lots of fans here in Dakota.
- Bernie Rast? - Bernie Rast?
And apparently so do you.
Hi Candide, look, love your music and all
but do you know who he is?
Of course she knows who I am.
I'm gonna produce her next CD.
Oh, no.
Hey, okay, thanks for stopping by! Next.
Uh, no offense, just a suggestion here
but you may not wanna be doing business with Bernie Rast.
- Why? - Uh..
Because the man is a total sleaze.
- Truth? - I wouldn't say total.
[crowd screams]
[clamoring]
Attention, Spire Record shoppers.
We're having a fire sale.
- Hotstreak! - And Aqua Maria.
- Double trouble. - You're not listening.
[explosions]
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
- What are those? - Metahumans.
We got a few of 'em running around town
tearing up things. I-is that a problem?
Not for me.
Okay, hold your money up high.
[water sloshing]
Hey, you got all the cash wet.
Oh, don't worry.
We're happy to dry it off for you.
It's Static and Gear! Oh can you believe it?
[gasps] Guys.
[whirring]
Okay, you take Sparky. I'll get Brain boy.
- Like we planned. - Unh.
Hey.
Get soaked, Static.
Yaah!
Hey, Maria, chill.
[gasps]
Unh.
I am so out of here.
Okay, okay, I-I'll call you okay?
Come on, w-w-we'll hook up, we'll do it again.
[crackling] Can't...move.
Don't worry. You'll thaw out.
All clear on this end.
Ah, all clear here, too. Ahh!
Oh!
- You okay? - Yeah, little crispy.
Looks like Hotstreak took a hike.
Mm-hmm. Like they say, no honor among thieves.
Thank you both for coming, I'm Dr. Todd.
Oh, yeah, you guys do some serious cutting edge research.
That's why the mayor called us in, to see if we can clean up
the Metahuman situation. Follow me.
Clean up the Metahuman situation?
As you know, the fumes inhaled by the Metahumans
'during the big bang altered their DNA.'
We recently developed a new type of mitochondrial resequencer.
We believe that we can turn back the clock for Maria.
Make her the way she was, before the big bang.
- You're talking about a cure. - Possibly.
We're very close to a breakthrough.
For everyone?
Not yet, it's still highly experimental.
But Maria is an excellent candidate.
You've dealt with her in the past, we were hoping you could
help us convince her to co-operate.
A cure, you think it's possible?
I always thought it was just a matter of time.
Maria, can you hear me?
Yeah, and this Gear. Sorry about the liquid nitrogen thing.
Can I handle this, please?
You weren't always hardcore, Maria.
It's the big bang that changed you and it's always
'gonna be that way, unless you let them help you.'
Why should I trust them?
Why should I trust any of you?
Who else is there? Hotstreak?
Don't you have a family?
My mom and my little sister.
If this goes well, you can see them again.
[instrumental music]
We'll have that special Metahuman report momentarily.
But first, a look at the weather.
Virgil, glad you here.
You know now that you're sister spend so much time on studies.
It gets pretty lonely for you old..
Hey, pops, love the chat, but..
Sitting is good.
Have you heard the news today, son?
They say... Wait, here it is.
(man on TV) 'It was announced today'
'by Dr. Donal Todd of Genomatech.'
(Todd) 'If tonight's procedure succeeds'
we'll be on our way to finding a cure
for the Big Bang syndrome. which has tragically affected
so many of Dakota's young people.
Our action news team as also learned
that the Metahuman called Aqua Maria
has agreed to be the first test subject.
What?
Y-y-you need something, mister?
Argh!
[screaming]
Yeah, a phone book.
[creaking]
Gentlemen, let's begin.
[beeping]
[whooshing]
Now, Maria, we're gonna send
a low electric current through you.
'This will make your natural defenses'
'less resistant to the cure.'
There will be some discomfort, but you must stay still.
- Understand? - Hmm-mm.
[groaning]
What's that?
Some kind of power surge.
Shut everything down, now.
[crackling]
Ah..wait, it's working.
Don't stop, I'm almost..
[groaning]
Doctor, the vital signs are dropping.
We've lost molecular stability.
[Maria groaning]
No. we gotta get her back in the tank.
[groaning]
She's gone.
So, instead of curing her.
The power spike had the opposite effect.
Man, she was almost home.
Even a few seconds more would've been enough.
Hey, where have you been?
Pops wanted some quality time.
I'm glad you could work that in.
This conduit fed power to the injection system controls.
When the line fired, everything went down the drain.
Including Aqua Maria.
You think Hotstreak did this?
Donno. But if he did, you gotta ask, why?
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
Stupid doctors!
(Maria) 'Hotstreak! Hotstreak!'
Aah! Maria, y-y-you're alive?
Ca-can't separate from the water.
Can't get solid.
Something wrong with the experiment.
Yeah? That's, uh, that's bad. What're you gonna do?
Gotta find those scientists. Make them fix me.
- You've to help me. - Sure, I can do that.
[instrumental music]
Huh?
[coughing]
You're coming with me.
Dr. Todd's gonna need your assistance again.
[screaming]
Help! No! Ah!
[machines beeping]
Aah!
- What're you doing here? - Hey, pal!
I'm the least of your problems.
Ahh!
[screaming]
I stole a truck, it's outside.
Good, now grab the equipment's.
Hey, who's in charge here?
[instrumental music]
[crowd cheering]
Gimme those.
Hey, it's Dr. Todd.
(Richie) ''Course. Tina Todd, must be his daughter.'
'And there's Daisy.'
(female #1) 'Next event, the 200 meter relay.'
That is a problem.
Look at what you did, doc.
Aqua Maria, back off. I don't want to hurt you.
[grunting]
On the other hand. I don't want you to hurt me, either.
Yaah!
Time for another dose of liquid nitrogen..
Aah!
Now, you're gonna cure me. Dr. Todd, whatever it takes.
Daddy!
[coughs]
This is a job for Aquaman.
He'll have to get in line.
[mumbling]
[rumbling]
- Welcome to your new digs, doc. - Aah! Unh.
[coughs]
Where you been, huh? I haul all this stuff here!
I'm waiting for hours, babysitting these dweebs.
- Don't question me. - Calm down, will ya?
Scared? Too bad, I'm just getting started.
[rumbling]
You've gone crazy. You know that.
Maybe I have, but if you want the old me back
you're gonna do what I say, you got that.
I'm trying to analyze Hotstreak's footprints.
But all I can tell is that he stepped in some gum.
Stop depending on the Gizmos and use your head.
Wherever he took the scientist has to have lot of electricity
to run all that equipment.
Sure like a hydroelectric dam
or a ball park or the subway.
Not the subway, but I think you are on a right track. Come on.
All systems go, doctor.
[whirring]
[alarm ringing]
It's not working, what's wrong?
We don't know. All the computer models say this should do it.
Maybe it's another power overload.
How do you know about the overload?
I guess I heard it on the news.
We never divulged that to the public.
You know, the power couplings were burned from the outside.
Yeah, so what? I just heard about it, okay?
[Maria groaning]
From where?
I don't know. Maybe you told me.
No, I didn't.
Alright, alright. I snuck into the lab during experiment.
I-I melted a cable, it wasn't on purpose.
How could you?!
I said it was an accident.
Hey, you're the one who tried to be normal.
You were gonna bust up the team.
Yeah, and I'm about to make you wish I did.
[explosion]
[screaming]
You lied to me.
Everyone lied to me.
Everyone's gonna pay.
[intense music]
[water splashing]
The old cable car depot.
How'd you know they'd be here?
This was the closest place
with an industrial power supply.
I could feel all the electricity surging this way with my power.
[screaming]
Out of my way!
She's in the sewers. I'll go after her.
Wait, we gotta get those guys out.
[coughs]
[grunting]
Thank you, this is what's left of the antidote
not that it seems to be all effective.
No, it's fine.
It's what you did with it that was wrong.
I'm not following.
You kept zapping Aqua Maria
with an electric charge.
But what you need to is electrify the antidote itself.
Then it'll work.
But for the antidote to hold a charge for long enough.
We'd need a huge jolt of electricity.
Correction, a static size jolt.
Stand back.
[electricity crackling]
You have to find, Maria.
The more water she absorbs
the stronger she becomes.
Bro, she was headed east.
(Gear) 'Straight for lake Dakota.'
[water sloshing]
If she gets to the lake she'll have enough water
to swamp the entire state.
- And if she reaches the ocean. - The whole planet takes a bath.
Wait, I know how to slow her down.
If I could tap into Dakota water and power station..
[beeping]
Huh?
All the sewer lines are closing.
[grunts]
[screaming]
[clattering]
There she goes.
[water sloshing]
Get away from me.
- Ah! - Whoa!
How you holding up?
If I get any wetter I'm gonna.. Look out!
[screaming]
[coughs] Static, where are you?
[gasps] Here!
Totally shorted out.
You two are going under for the last time
and Dakota's going under with you!
Not necessarily! Gear, I'm open.
And Gear passes to Static.
Static grabs it, shoots from the top of the key.
[grunts]
[explosion]
[screaming]
Surf's up!
[splashing]
[coughs]
- Ohh! - 'She's solid.'
- For now. - But we gotta get her back.
Hey, Gear, know what I want for my next birthday?
[coughs] No, what?
A wet suit.
[instrumental music]
(Static) 'Will this final dose keep her solid permanently?'
(Gear) 'It should.'
- Is she gonna be okay? - Yes she's gonna be fine.
The first of many I hope.
Maybe some day everything can get back to normal.
- Right, bro? What's with you? - Huh?
Ever since we took that dip in the lake
I got water in my ears.
Excuse me a minute. Huh!
- Yeow! - Ahh! That's better.
