In the hospital, the Parrs take Derek inside to get him checked on. Helen calls Derek and tells her what happened on the phone. Derek is laying down on the bed, resting as the doctor checks on him. Violet and her family are sitting outside, waiting. Violet is worried about Derek. She hates seeing him suffering like this. He has been like this since his father died. Since then, he and his mother have been living poorly. She offers him to come over to her house to hang out with her. She remembers the first day she met him.
Flashback
Violet is 12 years old at Junior High. She walks in the halls of the school. She keeps her head down to avoid looking at everyone. She enters her classroom and sits down at her desk. Everyone in the room all talk and write their homework as the teacher comes in.
Teacher: Everyone, we have a new student today.
Everyone quiets down and looks. The teacher looks at the door.
Teacher: Derek, come on in.
A 14 year old boy comes in the room with a backpack on his back. Violet looks up and sees him. She looks at him. He looks at the class, and he sees her.
Teacher: Everyone, this is Derek Parker. He'll be in our class from now on. Derek, there's an empty desk right there by Violet.
Violet looks to her left and sees the empty desk by her. He walks to the desk and sits down as he puts down his backpack by the desk. The teacher tells everyone they're going to do math today. They take out their books to write. As Derek writes, he looks at Violet. He smiles a little at her. She looks down, being shy. Later that day, she walks outside carrying books. She looks down, not bothering to see where she's going. Then, she bumps into someone. She looks up and sees it's Derek. He looks at her.
Derek: Hello.
Violet: Hi...
Derek: I'm Derek. What's yours?
Violet: Violet...Violet Parr...
Derek: Hey, there's no need to be nervous. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to be friends.
Violet looks at him. He smiles at her. She smiles back a little. They both sit down and talk a bit about each other. Since that day, they became close friends, and their friendship continues to this day.
Flashback ends
Violet smiles at the memory. Then, she and her family hear someone shouting. They all look and see Derek's running down the hall. Bob and Helen get up and walk to her.
Helen: Rachel! Rachel, stop!
Rachel: Let me through! Let me through!
She tries to go in the room, but they both hold her back. She struggles to get free.
Rachel: Get off! Is my baby in there?! Is my boy in there?! Answer me!
Helen: He's okay. Just minor injures. Bob here saved him.
Rachel: (Sighs) Thank god...
Bob: Rachel, why was he even out there during the night? Why'd you let him go out?
Helen: He's right. You knew it was dangerous at night.
Rachel: Today's the night his dad died. He usually goes out at night to try not to think about the sad memory.
Helen: Well, maybe you should tell him to go out during the day. That way, he won't get into any trouble or danger.
Just then, the doctor comes out of the room. Everyone looks.
Doctor: He's okay. He can leave the hospital now.
Everyone sighs in relief. They all walk inside the room. Derek is laying down on the bed, awake. He sees everyone. He smiles at them.
Derek: Hey, guys.
Rachel: (Smiles) Hi, sweetie. (Hugs him)
He hugs her back. The Parrs watch. Derek stands up from the bed and walks with his mother. The family follows them out and they leave the hospital. As they leave the hospital, Derek sees something. He looks and sees some trucks parked by some trees. He sees men doing something. He shakes his head. He figures it's just some men cleaning up some stuff. He gets in his mom's car. They both drive off with the Parrs driving behind them. Little did he know, the people that are by the trucks are looking at the meteorite. A white longed hair woman looks at the meteorite as she kneels down to it. The meteorite then cracks. Everyone looks at it. Then, some kind of black ooze comes out of it. The woman takes out a glass container and puts the ooze in it. She takes out her cell phone and calls someone.
Woman: I'm here. Yes. We got it. Don't worry. No one knows a thing yet. Yes. We'll bring it to the island as soon as we can.
She hangs up and picks up the container. She walks to her car and gets in. 'The men around pack up their stuff and get in the trucks. They all drive away from the site.
