They all went to the Tower.
Simon was sitting on the table while Tech was hooking up his inventions to take a look at the strange device that poisoned the mind of the delivery boy.
"Well, it's pretty simple," Tech remarked once he got a reading. "It's a chemical compound accelerator that can make the host with thought control levitation."
"To put it simpler: They brainwash him." Duck translated.
"In a way, yes." Vincent nodded.
"So, they took over his mind and free will to unleash his deepest, darkest desires." Jenny concluded as well.
"And those deep, dark desires earned us a bunch of free pies on the house!" Lexi smirked after she took a pizza slice.
Slam was so hungry, he started eating the boxes one by one.
"At least take them out of the box first!" Duck scolded him.
"I never understood the big deal about pizza..." Felicity spoke up. "I mean, in the eighteenth century, we do not have such a thing."
"Hey, where are Rev, Akito, and Estelle?" Vincent asked.
"Oh, here comes Rev now!" Lexi pointed.
The roadrunner was then zipping around and decided to do a little cleaning around the Tower.
"Rev, slow down!" Jenny giggled. "There's plenty of pizza for everybody!"
"Sorry, no time, gotta clean up, gotta get organized!" Rev sounded quicker than usual right now and started to clean up after everyone. He even started to wipe the drool off Simon's chin which annoyed the baby immensely.
Akito and Estelle were even cleaning the whole place as well.
"Okay, why are you three cleaning the tower?" Vincent asked.
"Well, we're expecting company." Estelle said.
"We can't look like slobs!" Akito added.
"Company?" Ace wondered. "What're you-"
The tower doorbell then rang and Rev dashed to the door.
"Mom! Pop!" Rev called to the roadrunner couple who were there.
'Wow, they truly are the parents of Rev.' Akito thought to himself.
Ralph and Harriet rushed over to meet their elder son they had not seen in a very long time.
"Just call us 'Ma and Pa Runner' and this is Rip." Ralph introduced and stepped aside with his wife to show a rather punk looking roadrunner with them who looked cynical.
"Hey..." Rip greeted, very flatly.
Simon smiled to Rip, giving his approval to him, due to his non caring attitude.
'Wow, he looks so cool.' Estelle thought to herself.
Ralph noticed the pizza and started to wildly peck at it which made Ace and Lexi feel a little uncomfortable. Harriet was picking out a few things, she seemed to talk a whole lot faster than Rev did and where no one could even understand what she was saying!
"Oh, no, so much to try to figure out what they're saying." Vincent said.
Harriet then started to peck at the pizza like her husband.
"My brain is melting!" Duck grabbed his head. "There's a whole family of 'em! I'm checking into a hotel!"
"Mind if I join you?" Vincent asked Duck.
"Mom, do you think you could take it a little slow?" Rev asked. "Just a little bit."
Harriet nodded and zipped in front of the girls. "Soooo niiiiice toooo meeet youuuu."
"Okay, not that quite slow, Ma." Rev replied to that.
"Yeah, that's a speed that I don't think anyone speaks in." Estelle said.
"That's how Maman talks with Tante Belle." Felicity giggled a little.
Ralph went to meet everyone and shook their hands quickly. "Oh, look at you, such a cute baby!" he picked up Simon and hugged him all over.
Simon growled and flailed his tiny arms.
"Uh, Simon doesn't like being touched, sir..." Akito took Simon away from Ralph.
"Yeah and just be lucky that he didn't have any weapons with him." Estelle added.
"Aw, this little tyke couldn't cause trouble..." Ralph wiggled his cheek.
Simon took out his baby bottle and removed the top to show a handgun.
"Oh, what a cute toy..." Ralph took it and tossed it away, unknowingly setting off a bullet, which thankfully didn't hit anyone. "You have quite an imagination."
Simon lowly growled, narrowing his eyes at this adult male roadrunner.
"Oh, and you must be Tech." Ralph went to the coyote.
Tech smiled, about to shake his hand, but Ralph rejected his hand.
"What's the matter?" Akito asked.
"Too slow." Ralph chuckled to make it seem like it was a joke.
Tech narrowed his eyes, lowly growling to the roadrunner couple.
"Uh, guys, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention," Rev came to Tech and the human kids. "My pop's got coyote issues."
"Maybe I should get back to work." Tech sneered.
"I'll join you." Akito said.
Tech nodded to him and walked off. Vincent and Jenny decided to join them.
"Now, Rev, I think it's time you joined the family business." Ralph said to his son.
"Aw, Pop, I got somethin' goin' here, can't ya ask Rip to help ya out?" Rev tried to get out of this.
"Oh, the business world is no place for a slacker!" Ralph flat out declined.
Felicity winced, that sounded like it hurt for Rip's sake.
"But, sir, Rev is old enough to make his own decisions and besides, he's happy being a hero with the rest of us." Estelle said.
"Here we go again..." Rip rolled his eyes. 'I am so outta here..."
"Oh, little lady, you don't understand, a family business is a family business, grown up or no grown up." Ralph shook his head to Estelle.
"But it's Rev's decision he makes his own path, not you or your wife." Estelle told him.
"I understand and saving the world is a good skill, but it's time he follwed his destiny." Ralph insisted.
Harriet zipped over with her purse and took out a roll of dollars out. "Here you go, son," she cooed to him. "Here's enough for your first paycheck."
"Um, I'm sorry to tell you this, but heroes don't do their job for money and as for Rev's destiny, it's what he chooses to do with his life, not his parents!" Estelle glared.
"That's enough, young lady!" Ralph looked sternly towards the human girl. "Rev is my son and he will do what his parents want him to, it's to restore his family honor!"
Estelle simply glared at him and where Magenta came over to Ralph and bit hard on his tail feathers.
"YOW!" Ralph exclaimed from pain.
Estelle was a little surprised, she seemed to had forgotten Fuzz-Z's even had teeth, but she felt Ralph rightfully deserved that. Magenta glared at Ralph before going to her mistress.
"I want proof that Rev can be a good hero then." Ralph folded his arms.
"What kind of proof do you need?" Felicity asked. "Acmetropolis is still alive, is it not?"
"I want Rev to prove himself a true hero," Ralph further explained. "On your next mission, I want Rev to be the hero and not just a couple of wisecracking bunnies and humans!"
'This guy is seriously asking for it.' Vincent thought to himself while glaring right at Ralph, causing a storm cloud to form on top of the older male roadrunner's head.
"Guys, please stop!" Rev cried out, yes, his father was a bit crude, but this was a little too extreme.
The storm cloud only started to rain on Ralph and then it went away.
"Keep your pets under control, son!" Ralph scolded.
"Theyr'e my friends, Pop, and I think they might be right." Rev frowned a little.
'Why did they have to come over?' Vincent thought to himself.
Akito and Estelle frowned to each other, this just wasn't working out as planned.
"Um, maybe you should give them a tour of the tower?" Estelle asked Rev.
"Oh, uh, good idea!" Rev smiled. "Come on, I'll show you around."
"As long as it's safe." Harriet gave a gentle smile.
"Trust us, it is safe here." Akito said before joining up with Tech.
Rev smiled to him.
"Well, okay..." Ralph shrugged.
"Ya wanna come, Rip?" Rev invited his brother.
Rip just shrugged. "Whatever..."
Simon sat by his feet and did a shrug like Rip and babbled, trying to copy him.
"Seems like my baby brother seems to really like you, Rip." Felicity said.
"Whatever..." Rip just shrugged and folded his arms.
Simon then folded his own arms, trying to look like a toddler with attitude.
"Silly Simon..." Felicity patted her brother on the head.
