Hurry, D! Mom's gonna light
me up if I'm late again!

[thrilling music playing]

[feet screech]

- Thanks, Devil!
- [panting]

[mysterious music playing]

Now, you know better than to
creep in this house

after the street lights come on.
Lu, where have you been?

Yeah, it's bad enough we had to
go to Sew a Stuffy without you!

Um... I... was at debate club!

According to your calendar,
debate club is on Wednesdays.

No, no, Wednesday is Molecular
Gastronomy Club!

Or is it Byzantine Pottery Club?

Uh, no, hump day is disco yoga!

Um, I meant
[in aggressive tone] extreme debating.

It's, uh... a new club!

You know, you lose a round,
you take a pound! [chuckles]

Mm-hmm. Well, next time
you come home late,

it'll be your last mistake!

Heh. Yes, ma'am.

Look, Lu, I just miss
spending time with you,

- that's all. Made you a stuffy.
- [doll squeaks]

Okay, thanks, Mom, bye!

[door closes]

[upbeat techno music]

[elevator bell dings]

Wha--! What are you doing?

Just updating my
extra-curricular schedule, heh.

Gotta add
"extreme debating" now.

Sweetheart, don't you think this is
all becoming a bit unwieldy?

I mean, keeping up
this double life.

It's really starting to wear on you,
your family, Devil.

Maybe it's time to come clean
about being a superhero.

I'm ready to tell them
my secret if you are.

[groans] Of course I need to do
that, and I want to.

It's just... who knows
how they'll react to finding out

I've been lying to them
all this time, about all of this!

I've been scared, too.

But maybe we'll be surprised
by how they react.

I mean, can you really
keep this up forever?

I can try, because honestly,
the truth

doesn't seem worth the risk
of possibly losing my family.

I get it. Probably
better than anyone.

So, if you're not ready,
you're not ready.

But know that when
you are, I am, too.

- [phone ringing]
- Aah! Gotta go! Duty calls.

At the
build-a-fully-functioning-robot-

to-pass-as-Lu-asleep-in-bed
phase of deception now?

Yep! I got it all under control.
Case, you copy?

[yawns] Sending Dronie!
Ya gotta love that work-from-home life.

Solid! See ya, Mimi!
Come on, D!

[exclaims]

[grunting]

[growls]

Oh, my gaskets! It's Turbo!

Turbo!

She's a superhero with a suit
so amazing,

its self-powering technology has yet to be
cracked by scientists!

- Plus, she f--
- [groans]

Ah, yeah, yeah, right.
Superhero stuff.

Oh! Let's get
in there and help!

[grunts]

Hey, there! Huge fan! Are those
your torpedo blasters?

What kind of propellant
do they use? Oh, and--

Beat it, kid.

[snarls]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[groaning]

Ready to give up that suit? Huh?

Get your metal paws
off of my new pal!

I'm not your pal! [exclaims]

Don't stick your nose
in this, kid!

It's not my nose you
need to be worried about.

[growls]

[grunts]

In case you were wondering,
that was my gotcha glove.

I wasn't wondering.
Where'd Silvermane go?

- Who?
- Silvermane?

The cyborg mafioso
your dino just K-O'ed.

He's been trying to steal my
suit forever!

Why? I mean, no offense,
but he's pretty strong without it.

For now, but his exoskeleton is
weakening and needs an upgrade.

He thinks my self-powering suit
might be the answer

to becoming all-powerful again.

Everywhere I go,
that metallic maniac pops up!

I just came to New York to take care
of some personal business,

and there he was again.

Personal business,
you say? What kind?

If I told you, then it
wouldn't be personal, now, would it?

Point is, he wants my suit
so he'll be strong enough

to lord over New York,

- like he did back in the day.
- [chuckling]

He won't stop
till he gets it.

Girl, not on my watch!
Let me help you!

Hardest of passes.

Come on!
No one knows the LES

better than me! Please! Please!

[sighs] Fine.

[gasps and squeals]
Put 'er here.

Mm. Pass. [exclaims]

[Casey, over drone]
Whoo!

[squeals] It's happening!

Our first superhero team-up!
This is gonna be epic!

[upbeat lo-fi music]

[music continues]

Oh. Sorry, Mom.
[exclaiming, chuckles]

[feet screech, crashes]

Took you long enough. I already
ate five breakfast sandwiches.

Needed the protein.
And they were extraordinary.

Well, my bad for the delay.
I was finishing this!

You made me a weird-looking sword?
That isn't even sharp. Pass.

No! It's a metal detector!
I discovered...

Silvermane uses
an augmented form of silver-plated alloy!

So I programmed this device
to specifically detect it!

I'd like it more as a sword,
but this isn't half bad.

Aah! We got a hit! Let's go!

♪ Shh, I can smell something
funny happening here ♪

♪ Gotta protect what's ours
when trouble is near, yeah ♪

♪ Maybe it's not what
we think, though ♪

♪ But I got teeth
for a thief, though ♪

♪ Everyone quiet
Is that footsteps I hear? ♪

♪ What's that? Who's there? ♪

♪ Don't let me catch
nobody in my house, nowhere ♪

♪ We got
the place surrounded ♪

♪ Get your hands in the air ♪

♪ If you want it,
this is our type of game ♪

♪ So come out and play
Don't you run now ♪

♪ Come out, come out and play ♪

♪ You're safe and sound
Come out, come out and play ♪

♪ Oh, we're just
hide-and-seeking ♪

♪ No need for you
to be afraid ♪

♪ Just come out and play ♪

Okay, I am calling it a day.

[groans]

Nothing cheers me up like
Ahmed's sammies twice in one day!

And watching science
experiment fails! Oop!

Ah, it's outta juice. But not to fear!
Juice is on the way!

They put a charger in everything
these days, am I right?

Unless those videos tell me how
to catch Silvermane, I'm not interested.

I promise, we'll find him.

It was easier finding
my super suit,

and that
was a total accident!

[gasps] I feel
a good story coming.

[Turbo] Not interested.

Come on! You gotta give me
something.

Ehh? Hot goss
for a hot sammie?

[Turbo] One day,
I went to a yard sale

looking for cosplay stuff.

- Cosplay?
- Steampunk phase. Unimportant.

Anyway, I found the suit
in a box.

Thought it looked cool,
so I put it on.

Next thing I knew, I was
flying through the air!

Before that, my life
was super normal.

Matter of fact, I grew up
right here in the LES.

What? I had no idea!

My life used to be
pretty normal, too...

until the day I accidentally built
an interdimensional portal, and then...

Wait, how do you "accidentally" build
an interdimensional portal?

Yeah, this is why it's important to have
all the instructions.

At least you had instructions.

My first time fighting in
this suit? Embarrassing.

[gasps] Stop!

[Turbo] Got stuck in a tree next
to a hangry squirrel.

[chuckles] My first fight,
the only thing my glove hit

was Casey's phone!

Yikes! Was your second fight
defending yourself from Casey?

[laughter]

You know, I never get to talk
about this stuff.

No one really gets what
it's like being a young hero.

[phone chiming]

Yeah. It's definitely
a different kind of life.

You know, most people spend
their whole lives running

and chasing after a purpose.

But ours just came
right to us, like a magnet.

Wait! "Came right to us!"

That's it! All this time,
we've been trying to chase Silvermane.

But you say no matter
where you go,

he always finds you,

So instead of
running after him...

We should let him come to us!

[Moon Girl]
Okay. Everything's set!

With that metal detector
rigged to Turbo,

we'll get an alert
when Silvermane

gets within
a hundred feet of her!

Then, we'll jump in
and capture him!

[exclaims]

[Adria, over comms]
Lunella? You home?

Ugh! I'll be right back!
Whoa! [grunts]

Why were you in the closet?

Oh! Um... just sorting my
clothes by color.

Heh. Casey's
rubbing off on me!

Okay. Well, glad you're here!

I was thinking we could have
a good ol' Family Game Night!

It's been so long,

and it is the only night
you don't have extracurriculars!

It took about five hours
to map out your schedule,

but we finally got it!

If you look real close from this
angle, you can find a free slot.

What do you say, sweetie? Free
for some quality fam-bam time?

I can play for a bit.

[cheering]

[dramatic music]

[grunting, gulping]

I am the master of all dares!

[chuckles] All right,
Lu. Truth or dare?

I will most definitely
take truth!

Okay, what is the last lie you told?

Oh, this is juicy!

[dramatic music]

Um... That I wanted
to do truth! [chuckles] I switch to dare!

Hey! You can't do that!
Can she do that?

Yeah! You gotta
follow the rules!

Y'all are taking
too long! I'll go!

Okay, Ma, tell us where you
learned that new dance move from.

That Hatcha-Hatcha
Woo-woo-woo thing!

Um, from a friend?

- Friend, what friend?
- Friend?

I'm still your best friend, though, right?

[beeps]

[gasps] Ooh! Wow! Look
at the time! Gotta run!

What? No! You didn't even go!

I gotta study with Casey.

Since when does Casey study?

And since when do you
need to study?

Well, um...

What's been going on, Lu?

Nothing, I...

Hello?! I'm talking to you.

Lu, where have you been?

[Pops]
Lu, you're barely around!

[Adria] Why are you out so much?

Maybe I don't like being
around you all the time!

Argh! Just
leave me alone!

[Devil Dinosaur groans]

Don't look at me like that.
I had to.

And we don't have time
for this! Turbo needs us!

[beeping]

[chuckles]

Huh? What?

Introducing Robo-Turbo.

Took you long enough
to get here.

Family stuff. Long story.

[electrical buzzing]

[exclaiming]

[growling]

I'm digging this new team-up!

I couldn't agree more,
Maria, mi amiga !

And I'm heading out.

[exclaims] We have to
celebrate this win!

I agree. And I know
just the spot.

- [both gasp]
- What?

I'm not all
work and no play.

[Moon Girl] Ooh!

Told ya I had a good spot!

- [camera shutter clicks]
- Say "queso!"

[chuckles]

[Devil Dinosaur groans]

Yeah. I know!
Dronie, get Ahmed on the line.

[chuckling]

You know that woman?

Remember I said I came to town
for some personal business?

Well... that's my mom.

Today's her birthday,
and this is the only way

I get to see her every year.

Why? Just go as
your un-super self.

It's not that simple.
Keeping my secret identity was tough.

It caused a lot of arguments
with my mom,

and our relationship severed permanently.
So I left.

But don't you miss her?

All the time.

But after all the lies
and everything I said...

there's no coming back.

Happy birthday, Mom.

[whooshes]

[Silvermane chuckles] They're not the only
one with tech up their sleeves!

Now, let's see what you found.

[chuckles] Good work.
Now, for this lock.

I'm so glad I don't have to keep looking
over my shoulder anymore.

Thanks again for the help.

Oh! [gasps] We make
a great team!

- [phone beeps]
- Ooh, it's Agent Hill!

Calling with more congrats?

No! Silvermane's escaped!

- What?
- What do you mean, escaped?

[screaming]

No!

There's no getting rid of me!

♪

♪

He took my mom! My mom!
We have to find them!

And we will. I promise.

How?

Look! It's part of Silvermane!

Get 'im, Dronie!

Atta boy!

Okay, you little sketchy techy!
Where's Silvermane hiding?

Spill it!

Spill it, or this sock
is going back on.

That's what I thought!

I didn't know you spoke techie!

Yeah, your love language
is now my love language.

They're in the hidden waterfall
in midtown! Come on, let's go!

Wow, yeah. I expected
like, a sewer leak or something.

Look! They must be behind there!
I'm going in.

And alone. Too many people
will cause a ruckus.

Okay. But Silvermane
is expecting you

and probably had traps.
Take Dronie with you.

[scoffs]

[electrical buzzing]

[gasps]

[exclaims] Get away!
What do you want with me?

Shh! Name's Turbo!
I'm here to help you!

[grunting] No, don't touch me!

I'm trying to get you out.
Just trust me!

I don't know you
to trust you! Get away!

Come on, Turbo! You gotta
tell her who you are.

Please, just come with me!

- [grunts]
- I can get you to safety.

[grunts] I don't believe you!

[sighs] Come on.

Tell her!

[tense music]

- [exhales]
- [music stops]

I hate to interrupt.
[chuckles]

But it's time
I took what's mine.

Oh, no, you don't! Squad's here!

[chuckling] Checkmate, Turbo!

You either give up that suit,
or she goes for a permanent swim!

No! Stand down!

[straining, exclaiming]

I'll give you the suit.

[chuckles]

[groans]

[chuckles] Finally!
The suit will be mine,

and all of New York
will be under my reign!

All of them saying
I'd one day...

- Dronie, my backpack.
- ...grow old and irrelevant!

[laughs] I can't wait to see
the look on their faces!

[laughs]

Huh? What are you smiling about?

Although I do think the Turbo armor
would look great on you,

I think you'd feel more comfortable
in something more... hmm, plushy.

What?

Uh, bye-bye, Stuffy-mane.

[beeping]

[grunting]

Aah!

[doll squeaks]

[squeaks]

Huh? Wha--

No! No, no!
What have you done?

You can't do this!
Put me back!

Oh, how can something
be so adorable

and so evil
at the same time?

There's no getting rid of m--

A teddy bear in custody
is a first, even for me.

But, um, great work!

Thank my mom. She gave me
that bear. She's the best.

Thank you, Moon Girl. And thank you
for risking your life to help me.

I know I didn't make it easy.

Don't worry about it. Take--

Take care of yourself... ma'am.

[siren wailing in the distance]

Thanks again for the help,
Moon Girl.

Maybe we can kick butt
and take names again sometime.

Oh, a million times over, yes!

[chuckles] Yeah, what she said.

OMG! First superhero team-up
a success!

Devil, we gotta get you a team-up, too!

- [Devil Dinosaur grunts]
- [Casey] Maybe the Hulk

needs some assistance!

Mom, I know you're probably
really upset.

And I'm really, really, really sorry
for what I said earlier.

And I know I've been on edge
and not the best granddaughter

or daughter lately,
but there's a reason why.

Mom, Dad, Pops. I have
something to tell you.

[closing theme music playing]
