Trivia:
This is a family based episode. Mika and Miles will be with their family while Buddy obviously has his own drama. Apologies for the short story/no action or high steaks.

Danger Force all watch from the couch
Bose
What's up with him?
Miles (whispering)
I think it's lack of parent energy.
Chapa
Yeah both of his parents are supervillains and he literally had to move out and sleep on the Man's Nest cell room with Tiny Ray and Chest Monster.
Miles
I feel bad…. I mean imagine if your only family were both in a cyber terrorist group.
Mika
He's like the happiest person on earth… but when Drex and Credenza's life improves and Buddy's goes down the drain, this rocker begins crooning a different tune.
Bose sighs
Bose
I think we should setup a family reunion
They all look confused
Bose
Like surprise him so the family can have a sit down talk
Mika
Yes!!! And maybe Buddy can convince his parents to quit The Cell!

INT. FUDGERS RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM - DAY
Buddy is reading his book "How To Keep Your Superhero Identity A Secret From Your Mom" depressed and saddened
Bose and Chapa walk out the kitchen
Bose
Alright, goodluck bro
Buddy (stoic)
Thanks.
Chapa
Why are you so sad?
Buddy closes his book angrily
Buddy
Because, they've both hurt me really bad and I'm not trying to talk to either of them.
Chapa sighs
Chapa
I usually hate… saying emotional junk like this but at the end of the day you're all family.
Bose
My stepdad hates me, Poopsie is annoying, and my cousin Cassie I haven't seen since she jumped out a window.
Chapa
See? Bose's family doesn't exactly love him high either yet they stick together.
Buddy
Okay but that's just them being jerks these two are actual supervillains that should be in jail right now!
Before Chapa or Bose can say further, the doorbell is heard
Chapa
We'll be right in the backyard watching just incase something goes wrong like they try to kidnap you again.
Buddy (loving the support)
Thanks guys.
As the doorbell rings AGAIN, Chapa and Bose rush out the house as Buddy takes a deep breath and opens the door
Credenza
Budaford J. Fudgers.
The audience uh-ohs
Buddy
Take off the masks.
Credenza and Drex are both wearing The Cell masks
Drex
Why should we?
Buddy (serious)
Guys stop it I don't think it's funny.
Credenza and Drex get quiet
Buddy (serious and stern)
For one freakin night I'm not trying to talk to King and Queen of The Cell I am trying to talk to my parents.
Else, you guys can just leave.
Credenza and Drex sigh being forced to take off their masks and break character by their serious and not joking around son
"Thank you" the stressed teen says
INT. SWELLVIEW BABY HOSPITAL - MEDICAL FACILITY - DAY
Slow, sad and heartwarming piano music plays as Angela prepares to have her baby as she flash backs to her family's interview/confession for a documentary on the baby they were making
[FLASHBACK SEQUENCE]
Angela
Finding out that I was gonna be your mother..
It cuts away
Herman
When I found out… I was gonna be a dad.
Angela
It was probably one of the most surreal feelings I ever felt. We did just endure depression once our kids announced they were moving into their headquarters.
Herman
Biggest blessing ever at a very unexpected time.
Alone (Interlude) by Isaac Vino begins playing in the backgroud
Herman
We ended up losing one and then just a few weeks later we find out about you Sophie.
It cuts
Angela
I was scared. But just seeing you grow, hearing your heartbeat was the most amazing and heartwarming feeling of my life.
Herman
You're really here…
Angela
I was strong for your dad. I felt scared because I always had a tough presence but when you came… I melted into a soft coffee creamer
Herman
All I wanted to do was know your safe and fine.
Angela
Sharing all these new memories and experiences as me and your dad are figuring out a new parenthood and how to be the best versions of ourselves for you as well.
Herman
And to show how loved you are..
It cuts to the family and friends interviews
Sima
I've known Herman probably since 2020… he wanted me to photograph his kids first day at this new school called SWAG.
Didi
I've only ever wanted the best and truth for my sister. Just ask my niece and nephew I almost ruined their entire life just so Angela could be happy
Didi starts tearing up and sniffling
Herman
To have a kid… that's all I want is to be a dad. I don't care about superhero stuff, money just being a dad is enough
Herman tears up
Angela
There's nothing i wouldn't do for you. You and dad are my biggest priority ever along with your older siblings
Miles
We hope you know we love you. Biggest blessing ever
Mika
I always wanted a little sister.. but boy or girl it doesn't matter I will always be there for you.
Miles (voice shaking and tearing up)
I wanna share every memory with you.. I want to hear how school is, good day or bad day how can we fix it, and just be your best friend, your brother, my blessing.
Sima
I hope to take photos on top of photos documenting your journey… and to Herm and Angie thank you for allowing me to be your kids painter for your beautiful artwork.
Herman
I wanna say so much more but just know we love you…
Angela
Can't wait to see you. Will hug and cherish every moment we spend and nothing on earth will stop you from being loved
Mika
I love you so much.
Miles
You took care of yourself. And now we will pay it forward
Didi
Love you baby girl.
Angela (smiling)
See you there…
Angela's voice breaks as she breaks down in tears as the dramatic and emotional segment ends
INT. FUDGERS RESIDENCE - BASEMENT - DAY
Buddy
No one's family is perfect. You either try to make it better or you live with it the way it is
Drex and Credenza stay quiet as the family sit face to face in separate seats
Buddy
I don't want to live with us hating each other.
Drex
What do you mean?
Credenza
God, here he goes. Always on my back like its not just business
Drex (defending his son)
Stop. Seriously
Buddy
This is what I mean! So much anger between us
They all sigh and get quiet
Buddy
Last time I saw you guys you both kidnapped me and had me tied up so my brain could get harvested. and I'm not gonna lie that was very disgusting to want your own son to be gone just like that
Credenza (stern and annoyed)
It was business.
Buddy/Drex
Stop!
Credenza looks offended by Drex yelling
Credenza
So you to now huh?
Drex
How many times must our son says he wants to talk his father and mother and not The Cell.
Credenza sighs
Buddy
Talk to me without the supervillain character.
Credenza sighs
Credenza (sighs)
You know the world doesn't always go the way you want it to…
Drex and Buddy look confused
Credenza
We broke up when Drex couldn't hustle.
Drex gets shocked
Credenza
Those Bordertown Winters weren't a joke. Once went five days no heat and I said I'm not gonna stay in no icebox with my boy any longer
Drex (interrupting)
And as a man I heard the message loud and clear. That's how I met Ray, had to start hustling if I wanted the best for you.
Credenza stands
Credenza
With all due respect son… we are back in that same position we were in all those years ago.
Drex
We are working with the Evil Science Corp to build our own dimension and city so once we defeat Danger Force the family can reunite
Buddy is stunned and stoic
Credenza puts her hand on his shoulder
Credenza
Once we defeat Danger Force… The Cell will end once and for all
Drex
We promise Bud.
Credenza
And we will have all the power in the world and we'll move to the dimension to be a happy family
Drex looks his son straight in the eye whispering
Drex
All you have to do is betray Danger Force and we can go legendary…
Credenza
You don't have to give us your answer now… I know it's tough.
Drex
But when he comes… you will make the biggest decision of your life
Buddy still looks stoic and stunned n conflicted
Credenza
Will you sell us your soul or be good forever…
Drex
There's only one way to find out…
Drex and Credenza grab their mask putting them back on with the message being clear, they leave the house as ominous music plays leaving Buddy looking like he seen a ghost as he's deep in thought.
INT. MAN's NEST MAIN ROOM- - THE NEXT DAY
Mika and Miles come up the tube
Ray
Hey hey did you guys have your baby sister?
Mika
Yep. She's safe and sound
Ray
But why didn't you-
Miles interrupts being very serious
Miles
We just didn't want to put her in danger.
Mika
Yeah The Cell are already tracking Henry and Jasper we don't want to put our baby sister in that position
Miles
Probably will stay hidden for a while until this war ends.
Ray
Understandable.
The tube bells are heard as Buddy comes up
Miles (confused)
Buddy what's wrong with you it looks like you've seen a ghost…
Buddy is deep in thought still replaying the movie in his head of his parents telling him to sell his soul
Buddy
I'm fine-
Buddy clearly isn't fine as he's still looking traumatized and even trips over nothing
Mika
Why are you stumbling then…
Buddy (yelling)
ITS NOTHING!!!
Before Danger Force can figure it out, the emergency alarm goes off changing the subject
"Emergency!" Mika yelled
"What's the sitch?" miles said
Mika checks the monitors
While Ray, Mika and Miles all check for the situation Buddy secretly exits out the man's nest door heading to the balcony
As Buddy looks deep in thought, he looks at the camera as his eyes turn red
