And if that should happen,

you can rest assured, sir,

that I will do everything in my power

to make sure it's not my fault.

I told you.

We will not be dosing the children.

Based on what we have in there, I think

you might want to dose them just a Iittle.

Come on. Drop them by a nuclear facility

and Ieave them there.

Or drop them off at the dentist and

have them x-rayed 200 or 300 times.

I don't think you understand

their sensitive condition.

What about my sensitive condition?

I'm being asked

to betray children for money.

-Are you done?

-I Ieft a Iittle pause there

in case you wanted to slip and fall again.

Grant, what am I doing here?

-Come on.

-Let me show you something.

Wow.

I made that suit for you.

Too bad you never got a chance to wear it.

-Welcome back, Zoom.

-It's Jack.

It's Zoom.

Wow.

Where'd you put... Is this...

Cool. Zoom comics.

Tucker, wait. Do not touch this.

This is a first edition.

Don't even touch the sleeve.

Now, everyone, please put on your

pH-balancing, antibacterial gloves.

Or not.

Why are you giving us these?

Well, I'm not giving them to you,

but I'm showing them to you

because yesterday you asked me

why Mr. Shepard was a great man.

Well,

this is why he's a great man.

Because he collects comic books?

No. Because he is the comic book.

Mr. Shepard is Captain Zoom.

And these comics are a record

of the incredible things that Zoom and

his amazing team did to protect mankind.

He was the Ieader of the Zenith team

faster than Quicksilver, the FIash

and Superman all together.

No way.

Way.

Zoom.

You're Captain Zoom.

-Can you eat fast, too?

-Zoom. Do something fast.

Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag, huh?

You don't Iook Iike a superhero.

I don't? Are you sure?

You know why?

Because I'm not a superhero.

There's no such thing as superheroes.

No matter what people told you around here,

you're not superheroes.

We're superheroes?

Awesome.

Yes.

You're definitely white kids, I'II tell you that.

-Yeah. What?

-Do we get names? And costumes?

-I'm sorry, what's your name again?

-Cindy Collins, age six.

Cindy Collins, age six. This isn't a parade.

Or a Girl Scout jamboree or some sleepover.

It's a military installation.

You get military stuff. Functional ware.

You see this? I used to be able

to move my entire body that fast.

So they put me

in a polycarbonate silicone suit.

That way I didn't vibrate out of my clothes.

You've got to stop doing that.

Can my superhero costume be a tutu?

Are you even trying to Iisten to me?

So what are they going to make us do?

I don't know, dude.

Let me think about that for just a minute.

And you're supposed to be training us.
