Oh, my God.

Yes!

Of course you can leave

the baby overnight.

I’m sure filling in for Helen is challenging,

and you are very tired.

and the other children

need you

and miss you,

and you must go to them.

Auntie Edna will take care of everything.

so, drive safely and goodbye.

I enjoy our visits.

“Auntie Edna”?

Attention.

Attention.

I wanna thank everyone

that came out tonight.

in support of superheroes.

and bringing them back into society!

You all made it happen.

The need for this

has been made crystal clear in recent days.

with bad actors like the self-proclaimed

Screenslaver threatening our peace.

His reign was short, huh?

And thanks to this woman.

a great super.

You love her.

You missed her.

Welcome back, Elastigirl.

Come on up here.

Don’t be bashful.

Come on.

Get up here.

I want you to have this.

A memento.

Thanks, Winston, Evelyn,

and everyone at DEVTECH.

I am forever in your debt.

And thanks to all of you,

your pressure changed all the right minds.

We’ve made amazing headway in a very short time.

which leads me to an

important announcement.

Just now,

at a worldwide summit.

leaders from more than a hundred of the world’s top countries.

have agreed to make superheroes legal again!

We’ll gather superheroes and leaders from all over the planet on our boat,

the Everjust for a televised signing ceremony at sea.

Now if you’ll excuse us,

we got a ship to catch!

So good to see you.

Thanks for coming out.

Hey.

Hi, it’s me, again.

Um, there’s, uh, something I’ve always wanted to ask you.

Yeah, how do you balance the superhero stuff with the life stuff?

I know I can handle

the superhero stuff.

Would you please excuse me a moment?

Yeah, okay, see you later!

Good talk!

Hey, Vi.

Hey.

Where’s Jack-Jack?

E’s taking him for a little bit.

Edna is babysitting?

Yeah.

And you’re okay with this?

Yeah.

I don’t know why,

but yeah.

I wanted to say something to you.

Sorry about Tony.

I didn’t think about Dicker erasing his memory.

or about you having to pay the price for a choice you never made.

It’s not fair, I know.

And then, I made it worse at the restaurant

by trying to.

Anyway.

Anyway.

I’m sorry.

I’m used to knowing

what the right thing to do is.

but now,

I’m not sure anymore.

I just wanna be.

a good dad.

You’re not good.

You’re super.

Are superheroes allowed

to drink on duty?

I’m definitely not on duty.

Ignore the costume.

I know

I should be up there.

but I had to step away from the grip and grins, you know?

Gotta get away to keep it pure.

I know I do.

What are you getting away from?

Eh, you know, company stuff.

My brother, mostly.

But you love him,

you two are this company.

Yin and yang.

Yeah, I invent the stuff,

he’s good at people.

Pleasing them, engaging them,

figuring out what they want.

I never know what people want.

What do you think they want?

Ease.

People will trade quality for ease every time.

It may be crap,

but hey, it’s convenient.

Yeah.

Kind of like this case.

What?

The Screenslaver?

Yeah, something’s not sitting right.

It was too easy.

That was too easy?

Wow.

Funny.

What?

Look at that.

One of Screenslaver’s monitors

is tuned into my suit cam.

What?

Isn’t the suit cam closed circuit?

It is.

Then how come Screenslaver has it?

Maybe he hacked it?

So, he’s sophisticated enough to do that.

but he has simple locks on his doors?

Maybe he wanted you to find him.

He wanted to get caught?

He wanted you to win.

That makes no sense.

He’s a brilliant guy.

If he’s smart enough to conceive

of technology like this.

he’s smart enough to think of something to do with it.

The guy we put in jail delivered pizzas.

So?

Einstein was a patent clerk.

Look, you won.

You got the guy who.

Wait.

All Screenslaver needs to do

to hypnotize someone.

is get a screen in front of their eyes.

But what if the screen doesn’t look like a screen?

What if the pizza guy is really a pizza guy.

but he was controlled by the screens built into his glasses.

You are good.

Look, the robot!

It’s taking off.

I’m not getting a reading yet.

Press “fire”?

Now!

More power.

Oh, I hope this works, Dad.

I thought it was best to just let you sleep.

Seventeen hours.

How do you feel?

Super.

You got it, Dad.

Hurray!

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate

you watching Jack-Jack for me, E.

Yes, I’m sure your gratitude is quite inexpressible.

Don’t ask me to do it again, darling.

My rates are far too high.

Oh, uh.

I am joking, Robert.

I enjoyed the assignment.

He is bright

and I am stimulating.

We deserve each other.

Your child is a polymorph.

Like all babies, he has enormous potential.

It is not unknown for supers

to have more than one power when young.

but this little one has many.

Yes, you have many powers.

I understand your lack of sleep and coherency, Robert.

Babies can be anything,

and your child is no exception.

He has pure, unlimited potential, Robert.

He slept while I worked in a creative fever.

Auntie Edna stayed up

all night making sure you look

fabulous in your many forms.

What are you.

You’re putting him in the.

In the chamber, Robert.

He is part of the demonstration

and will be fine.

Your challenge is to manage a babywho has

multiple powers.

and no control over them, yes?

That sums it up.

I often work to music and I noticed the baby responds to it as well.

Specifically, Mozart.

I blended Kevlar with carbyne for durability under duress.

and cotton for comfort.

Interwoven with these fabrics are a mesh of tiny sensors.

that monitor the baby’s physical properties.

Oh, Lord!

What is he doing?

Well, it’s Mozart, Robert.

Can you blame him?

The important thing is that the suit and tracker.

anticipated the change

and alerted you.

Oh, no Cookies.

I gotta get cookies!

You do not need cookies.

As I learned quite painfully last night.

any solution involving cookies

will inevitably result in the demon baby.

“Combustion imminent”?

What does that mean?

It means fire, Robert, for which the suit has countermeasures.

I suggest you extinguish the baby’s flames before he trips the sprinkler system.

The flame retardant is blackberry lavender, darling.

Effective, edible, and delicious.

Well, what do you know?

That is useful.

Although, I have doubtlessly exceeded your expectations for a single night’s work the suit and device contain a few more features we need to discuss.

Thanks again, E,

for everything.

How much do I owe you for.

Pish-posh, darling.

Your bill will be covered by my fee.

for being Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl,

and Frozone’s

exclusive designer.throughout the known universe and until the end of time.

But babysitting this one.

I do for free, darling.

I would resist

the temptation to stretch.

The temperature around you is well below freezing.

Try to stretch and you’ll break.

So, you’re the Screenslaver.

Yes and no.

Let’s say,

I created the character

and pre-recorded the messages.

Does Winston know?

That I’m the Screenslaver?

Of course not.

Can you imagine what Mr. Free Enterprise

would do with my hypnosis technology?

Worse than what you’re doing?

Hey, I’m using the technology to destroy

people’s trust in it.

Like I’m using superheroes.

Who did I put in jail?

Pizza delivery guy.

Seemed the right height, build.

He gave you a pretty good fight.

I should say I gave you

a pretty good fight through him.

But it doesn’t bother you

that an innocent man is in jail?

Eh, he was surly

and the pizza was cold.

I counted on you.

That’s why you failed.

What?

Why would you count on me?

Because I built you a bike?

Because my brother

knows the words to your theme song?

We don’t know each other.

But you can count on me anyway.

I am supposed to, aren’t I?

Because you have some strange abilities

and a shiny costume.

the rest of us are supposed to put our lives

into your gloved hands.

That’s what my father believed.

When our home was broken into,

my mother wanted to hide.

Begged my father to use the safe room.

But Father insisted they call

his superhero friends.

He died, pointlessly, stupidly.

waiting for heroes to save the day.

But why would you.

Your brother.

Is a child!

He remembers the time

when we had parents and superheroes.

So, like a child, Winston conflates the two.

Mommy and Daddy went away

because supers went away.

Our sweet parents were fools

to put their lives in anybody else’s hands.

Superheroes keep us weak.

Are you gonna kill me?

Nah.

Using you is better.

You’re gonna help me make

supers illegal forever.

Dada.

Dada.

Ready?

Laser eyes.

Stop.

Wow!

Yeah!

Yay, Jack-Jack!

Yeah, baby!

And that’s not all.

Watch this.

Jack-Jack, blaster ready?

No way.

That is crazy cool.

My turn.

I get to blast him first!

Let me try.

I want him.

Give him to me.

Hey, I’m just demonstrating.

No firing the baby around the house, you understand?

This is potentially dangerous.

and we’re trying to teach him

to control his powers, okay?

Stop.

See the screen.

He vanished!

That’s really cool!

Okay, good.

Use the thing.

That’s the current readout.

Click it.

See the readout?

Dimension four.

See the shape?

That’s the room.

See where he is in relation?

So, where is he?

He’s there!

Okay Come out.

Num-num cookie?

Yay, Jack-Jack!

Yeah, Jack-Jack!

That’s really cool.

Hello?

Elastigirl’s in trouble.

What?

What happened to her?

Sorry to tell you on the phone.

Meet me on our ship at DEVTECH.

The ship at DEVTECH.

I’ll be there in 15 minutes.

What’s at the ship at DEVTECH?

Lucius?

Bob.

Helen’s in trouble.

I need someone to watch the kids.

Suit up.

It might get weird.

I’ll be there ASAP

Fifteen tops.

Where are you going ASAP?

You better be back ASAP!

And leaving that suit.

I gotta go.

I’ll be home soon.

Lucius will be here sooner.

No firing the baby around the house, okay?

What’s at the ship at DEVTECH?

And why are you in your Supersuit?
