Captain Holt gathers Jake, Amy, and Barry for an announcement inside the bullpen. "Everyone, starting today Captain Ninety-Nine and his activities will be supervised by Detectives Peralta and Santiago as per a temporary agreement by both parties. Any action he should make must be approved by either Detective." Holt announced to the officers and detectives in the room. "Are we gonna have a Bat-Signal now?" Boyle asked. "No." Holt and Barry answered simultaneously. "Are you sure this is a good idea? Letting Jake be in charge of a superhero I mean?" Rosa asked.
"Amy's here, so I should be fine in case anything goes wrong." Barry answered. "Where did this come from? When did we start supporting superheroes?" Terry wondered. "I'm only here to look for a dangerous… individual. If not found, they will wreak havoc across the city. And that's just the best case scenario." Barry answered. He projects a 3D model of a spiked muscle car from his blue faceplate. "We should be on the lookout for a weaponized custom-made grey muscle car. There's more spikes on it than on a single spike trap." Barry described.
"What did they do?" Boyle asked. "Classified." Barry answered. "Oh look at the time! Let's go do some good guy superheroing!" Jake said hurriedly as he pushed Barry towards the elevator. "Hey, watch it!" Barry exclaimed as Jake pushed him into the elevator with Amy. Jake salutes to Holt with a smile as the doors close.
Outside the precinct, they approach the Zoomer parked across the street as a crowd gathers around it. "There he is!" a girl in the crowd yelled as she pointed to Barry as he walked towards the car. "Hello, citizens. Let me guess, you want my picture?" Barry asked the crowd. The girl approached Barry and held out her phone to take a selfie of her and Barry as he held up a peace sign. Amy and Jake watched from a cross the road near the squad car.
"Where did this ego come from?" Jake wondered. From inside the car, Barry's android body comes to life in the form of Seamus O'Cyrus. "Gah! I forgot that was in there!" Jake said in surprise. "Sorry, but I have to do this to keep up my public image before a Jameson or Godfrey shows up." Barry said as he rolled the windows down. "So… are they taking pictures with the drone?" Amy wondered.
"Yep." Barry answered. "Say, do you guys wanna hang out later today? We can talk about… stuff." Barry offered. "I mean, why not? Where do you want to meet?" Jake asked. "The alley next to Shaw's." Barry answered. "Isn't that a little conspicuous?" Amy wondered.
"Don't worry, I'll come in a disguise and I'll change my Zoomer's alt mode." Barry reassured. "Speaking of that, what is that surprise alt mode you told us about, like, two hours ago?" Jake asked. "That's a surprise. Meet me at ten." Barry answered. He activates his stealth function and opens the door. He walks over to the Zoomer and the drone Headmaster.
He regains control of the Headmaster body as it was taking a picture of two boys. "Okay everyone, I'll be heading out on patrol. Have a nice day!" Barry said as the Zoomer's hatch opened. As the crowd snaps pictures of him entering his car, the invisible android body enters the back seat and Jake and Amy's squad car drives out of the Nine-Nine. The engine revved up with a sound like a cross between a Formula 1 and a jet engine, surprising the crowd. As he lowers the hatch, he waves to the crowd before zooming away with the telltale Formula 1 hum.
"Obey the speed limit!" Amy informed Barry through her Amp Arsenal. "Yes, mom." Barry acknowledged. "Looks like he's already in his rebellious phase." Jake commented. "You should meet my cousin Unit Zero-Four-Three, or Ross as we call him. Upon activation he uploaded himself to a Zoomer and drove off. Months later when he returned he was reluctant to join missions unless he 'felt like it'." Barry recounted. "How does this 'family' thing of yours work?" Jake wondered.
"We consider members of other teams as our cousins and members of our own teams as siblings." Barry answered. From the rooftops, a man in a yellow shirt with "SD" written in blue tape spies the Zoomer from his binoculars. After a while of driving, they come across a typical cat-stuck-in-a-tree situation in a small neighbourhood. The cat's owner, an elderly woman, was waiting below the tree. "Permission to get the cat out of the tree, Detective Santiago?" Barry asked Amy on his on-board communication systems.
"Permission granted. Let's go!" Jake answered enthusiastically. They park their cars at the curb and exit to approach the woman. "Ma'am, I'm Detective Jake Peralta and my partner here is Detective Amy Santiago." Jake introduced himself and Amy. "I'm Captain Ninety-Nine. Pleased to meet you." Barry introduced himself in his normal voice. "Oh, I know who you are, Captain. Thank you for saving my daughter at the bank." the woman thanked Barry.
"You're welcome, citizen. Have you had any problems with cats getting stuck in trees before?" Barry asked. "Oh yes. This one, Angelina, her mother used to do this all the time. Looks like it runs in the family." the woman explained. "I think I have something that might entice this little angel to descend to the earth." Barry said as he walked back to his Zoomer. The two detectives follow as he opened a panel at the side of the Zoomer's chassis. "Since when do Formulas have side trunks?" Jake wondered.
Inside the chassis were a number of items: three wooden bats, several hi-tech weapons, and a box of assorted items. Barry rummages through the box and takes out a small mouse-shaped toy. "What's that?" Jake wondered. "My cousin, Zero-Four-Two, or Dylan, has a thing for animals. He gave me a catnip mouse toy 'just in case'." Barry answered.
