'Flashback. The infamous Dakota gang riots'
'that began with a freak power blackout on a hot summer night.'
'Then, roving gangs turned violent'
'on the outskirts of our city.'
'It was Dakota's darkest hour.'
'But there were some rays of light.'
'Rescue workers who raced into danger to save innocent lives.'
♪ Fires burning on every single block ♪
♪ All the streets feel the vibe towards the cops ♪
♪ There's mad chaos on Limit Street ♪
Today, on the five-year anniversary of the riots
We're here to celebrate those heroes.
'With the unveiling of a monument'
'dedicated to their bravery.'
One of the tragedies that occurred that night
was the death of emergency rescue doctor Jean Hawkins
victim of a stray gunshot.
Joining us for this very special ceremony is Jean's family.
Her husband Robert and her children Sharon and Virgil.
Uh, I just wanna thank the city
for this special memorial tribute.
By honoring Jean and her colleagues
you also honor her belief that the noblest act
anyone can perform is to help another person in need.
Well said, Mr. Hawkins. This is Shelly Sandoval.
Reporting for Dakota Action News.
Don't know who that handsome guy was on the TV
but they ought to give him his own series.
Are you sure I was okay?
You did good, pops.
- Where you goin'? - Um, I gotta do my homework.
Homework? You? This early?
Dad, call Shelly Sandoval back.
We've got a new headline for her.
"Hawkins boy discovers long lost brain."
Step off, Sharon. Not today!
Huh. What's up with him?
Let him be, Sharon.
Sometimes I think Virgil
still can't handle your mother's death.
He was so young.
- I miss her, too, daddy. - Hmm. So do I.
We had more time with her than Virgil did.
He hardly had any time at all.

Yo, Static.
You wouldn't happen to know what time it is, would ya?
Oh. Hey, Richie.
I saw that tribute to your mom on TV. Pretty cool.
- Yeah. I guess. - You okay?
Just thinkin' about her.
- You miss her, huh? - It's worse than that, Rich.
I think I'm starting to forget who she was.
It's like, it's been so long, I'm losin' my memory of her.
- Seriously? - Seriously.
And I don't know what I can do once it's gone.
I mean, it's not like I can ever--
- No place to run, Nina. - Aah!
Let me go!
- No, not you! - Who were you expecting?
Britney spears?
- Come on! - Aah.
- Ugh! Gear! - The one and only.
- And you are? - Nina. Nina Crocker.
Pleased to meet you.
Gotcha, skate boy. Time to pick up the garbage.
You know what they say.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
- You two okay? - Sure.
But we don't smell so great.
What you need is a quick shower.
Right back to where we started, Nina.
Uh-oh. She's a Bang Baby.
Yeah, and it looks like she needs our help.
You okay?
Hey!
Why is everything moving the wrong way?
Whoa. Check that out! Time is moving backwards!
Either that or we're moving backwards through time.
What did you do?
I, I keep going back and forth in time.
I can't control it!
Uh, Static, recognize anyone?
'W-what?'
'That's us exactly ten minutes ago'
'before all this started!'
But if this really is ten minutes ago
then Ebon will be chasing her again
and we'll be coming down here to rescue her!
And I don't think we should all meet, do you?
No way. Come on! We gotta get outta here.
♪ Hey-y-y ♪
'So there I was. Taking a bike ride past the docks'
'when the Big Bang happened.'
At first, I didn't think it did anything to me.
Then, a month ago, this time slipping started.
How did Ebon get on your tail?
I was trying to find you two.
Ebon found me first.
He wants to use my power to dodge the police.
- You were lookin' for us? - Yeah.
The way you guys use your powers to do good for people?
That's what I want. I don't want to be a thief like Ebon.
Amazing, your energy waves distort the space-time continuum
and move you through it exponentially.
Uh, you wanna keep that in English?
She can rewind herself through time like a tape through a VCR!
Whoa! If we could make something to channel the energy
and quantize time-space into measurable units
something that..
- Is he okay? - He's havin' a brain blast.
I wouldn't stand too close if I were you.
Yes!
What's he doing?
He's figuring out something
he can build to help you.
No way. Do you think he really can?
He fixed our toaster.
- 'Yo, Static, you there?' - I'm here. What up, G?
'Get your tail over the park. I got a surprise for ya.'
Now, where are you off to in such a hurry?
Nina, what's with the costume? You gonna fight some ninjas?
It's part of the surprise.
She's not just Nina anymore. Now, you can call her Timezone.
- Timezone? - Yep.
Now, she's a real Bang Baby superhero.
Thanks to this.
A VCR remote control?
Well, it was, until I turned it into a space-time demodulator.
- A space a-what? - Watch. First, I'll hit rewind.
Here goes.
Uh-oh. Here we go again.
Right, but this time, we can control it.
'Watch!'
beep
swoosh
And the best part is, it still works on my VCR. Ha ha.
Yo, is Timezone the bomb or what?
Uh-huh. Definitely the bomb.
- Thanks. - Uh, you're welcome.
Rich, can we go back in time and stop a crime from happening?
Well, theoretically, it's possible.
Then what if we go back exactly five years
to the night of the Dakota gang riots
and prevent it from ever getting out of hand?
Whoa, whoa. What? Are you nuts?
- Why not? - Look.
If we mess with time too much
we could change something that affects the future.
We might make it so that we don't exist anymore.
Please! We gotta try it. For Dakota.
And for the people who lost their lives that night.
Oh. Right.
Hey, doesn't my opinion count for anything?
- Uh, sure. Of course, it does. - Then I say we go.
I told you, I wanna do good things with my powers
and this sounds as good as it gets.
A'ight, you win. But we have to be careful.
This could be really dangerous.
Thanks, man.
Setting for exactly five years ago.
- What! - Hey!
Looks like my waitin' paid off.
- Give that back! - No, Static, don't!
Electricity throws its CPU into fits.
It's gonna overheat.
♪ Smash crash till it's all ruined.. ♪
This is it! The night the riot went down.
Gear! Timezone!
Wow. What a ride.
- Where are Ebon and Timezone? - I don't know.
If he gets control of her powers
these riots are gonna be the least of Dakota's problems.
You're right. Okay, I'll search high, you stay low.
One of us has to get lucky.

Mom?
'Mom.'
- Aah. - Mom!
Don't worry. I got you.
Who are you? How can you do this?
They call me Static.
But you know me by another name.
I know you?
It's me, ma. It's Virgil.

Mom? Are you okay?
This is quite a story you've told me.
The future, the Big Bang.
- It's a lot to take in. - I know.
I mean, I just tucked my little Virgil into bed tonight
and now, here you are, a handsome young man?
Yeah, well, Sharon didn't turn out too badly, either.
You know, in an ugly big sister kind of way.
I don't understand all of it
but if you are my son
I'm so proud of what you're doing.
Imagine, my boy a superhero.
Thanks, ma. But you are the real hero.
- I've got to get back to work. - Th-th-that's just it.
I want you to stay up here tonight, out of danger.
- Leave everything to me. - What's wrong?
Just stay here, and you'll be okay.
Nothing's gonna happen to you...this time.
This time? Virgil, is there something you're not telling me?
It's just that, in my time
you got hurt tonight.
And I don't want that to happen again.
I see.
So stay up here tonight, okay? Please.
But, Virgil, people are hurting down there.
I just can't hide, no matter what the risk.
Besides, you've already saved my life just now.
That might have changed everything.
'Static, come in? Do you copy me? I found Timezone.'
I copy you, Rich. Where are you?
You're not gonna believe this. I'm outside Alva Industries.
'Alva Industries?'
Yeah, the labs where they made the Big Bang gas.
Backpack picked up Timezone's energy trail.
What? Aah!
It's Ebon, and he's got Timezone!
He just stole a tanker truck from the labs!
If it's got the gas..
He can stage his own Big Bang.
One that he can control.
He's heading straight for the riots!
I'm on it, Rich.
Mom, I have to go. Promise me that you'll stay up here.
- Virgil, I can't. - Please, mom, you gotta.
Okay.
Don't worry. I'll take care of myself.
- Goodbye, son. - Bye, mom.
- I'll see you soon, huh? - Virgil, I'm always with you.
'Jean, come in.'
- 'Are you alright?' - I'm fine.
'We have injured kids on the corner of 54th.'
'We need you right away. Jean, can you hear me?'

Get ready for a new Bigger Bang, Static.
With 100 times more metahumans to join me.
Gear! I got my hands full here!
I'm on it.
crash
zap
A gas station.
Well, now I know why it went out of business.
That truck will blow up if we don't get it away from the fire.
- Where's the remote? - Ebon's got it.
'Static, you've gotta get the remote from Ebon.'
No...problem.
Oh, man. It's losing energy. We gotta work fast.
No!
What's happening?
We've to get the truck outta here
before it blows!
No! Mom! We can't leave yet!
I can't stop it, Static.
The return cycle is already activated.
We're out of time.
No!
What happened to the.. Oh.
We gotta call the hazmat team to come and get that thing.
- Gear! We gotta go back! - It's way too damaged.
We couldn't go back more than two or three years.
- But my mom.. - Maybe she's okay.
Maybe you did enough.
You were right, Gear.
This time travel power really is dangerous.
Too dangerous to ever mess with again.
Whoa, what are you doin'?
I'm going back two years to the Big Bang
to prevent myself from ever having this power.
No, wait! Huh.
Mom? Mom? Are you home?
Ma!
Oh, mom. Nothing's changed.
Why couldn't you have just stayed off the streets?
It wasn't like your mother to hide from danger, Virgil.
She was dedicated to her work and to helping people.
Nothing would stop her from doing that.
And she had a stubborn streak, too.
Just like her kids.
You got that right.
You know, the co-workers on the scene that night
say that all she kept talkin' about
was how proud of you she was.
She kept calling you her superhero.
I don't know why.
But if she could've seen how you have grown
I swear she'd be even more proud.
I...hope you can take some comfort in that, son.
I do, pops.
I really do.

I'm sorry about your mom, V.
Hey, if it weren't for you
I'd have never had the chance to see her again.
And this time, I'll never forget her.
Hey, look who's here.
- 'I'm open, I'm open.' - Come on.
'Over here. Over here.'
You sure she doesn't remember?
I went to see her as Gear, and she acted like we never met.
'A couple of days ago, she was one of the most powerful'
'metahumans on earth.'
'Now, she's just a kid without a care in the world.'
How'd she pull it off?
I mean, gettin' rid of her power and all?
Remember when Nina said she was
taking a bike ride past the dock
when she got hit by the Big Bang gas?
- Yeah. - I think she went back in time.
To the Big Bang, and stole her own bike
so she couldn't take that ride.
Then what happened to the Nina we knew?
- You know, Timezone? - Gone. She never existed.
But we know she existed.
She was here. We saw her, we helped her.
Bro, if you think about these things too much
your head will explode.
