It's funny how when you look back on a day like this, it always begins so normal I mean, look at me, I'm actually putting real thought in what I'm gonna wear, like any of this is gonna matter in an hour.

Penny: This one says "Talk to me" and this one says "leave me alone". Perfect!

Matthew: Time for breakfast, Penny.

Penny: Morning, Dad, be right there.

Matthew: Morning, kiddo, you sleep okay?

Penny: *notices that he put the shells in the bowl and the eggs in the trash* Did YOU?

Matthew: I see you're wearing "leave me alone". You know, I want you to try and make some friends.

Penny: Yeah, not today. *sees Mr. Incredible on TV* Woah, is that Mr. Incredible?

Matthew: That iscjust a training exercise probably, a "what if".

Penny: As long as there's no "what if" that involves you rejoining the team.

Matthew: Relax. Even though I'm still the leading of the Heroics, I'm doing it from the safely of my own office.

Penny: Good, because a deal is a deal.

Later....

Penny: See you later, Dad.

Matthew: Mm-hmm, be good.

Penny: Hey, what's wrong?

Matthew: Nothing....I'm just, uh...I love you.

Penny: An "I love you" at 8:00 a.m. on a random Tuesday? You sure you're okay?

Matthew: *nods*

Penny: I love you too.

At H-Base....

H-Base Worker: We're tracking over a hundred alien vessels. Who do you wanna send?

Evelyn Deavor: How about....Franny Robinson and Agatha Gillman ?

H-Base Worker #2: I don't know, they haven't gotten along since the crisis of Edinburgh.

Evelyn: Okay, how about...Ballister and Ambrosius, they still married?

Matthew: This isn't a two-hero job. Look...

Evelyn: Okay, so we'll send three, happy?

Matthew: I'm afraid those are just the scouts, the tip of the spear. This is what we're really up against...we've never delt with anything like this before.

Evelyn: That's impossible.

H-Base Worker #3: Which hero should we send, Ma'am?

Evelyn: All of them. Call Winston, he's the only one that can authorize a full Heroic attack

H-Base Worker #4: It's before noon, he'll still be asleep.

Evelyn: Wake him up! Excuse me, Matthew, what are you still doing here? When I say everyone, I mean everyone.

Matthew: I can't suit up. I promised my daughter.

Evelyn: Okay, well, I'm sorry. They'll need all the help they can get, and you know it. It's time for you to rejoin the team. It's time to be a Heroic again....that is in order.

Matthew: Yes ma'am.

LATER...

Girl #1: Just grab it!

Penny: I'm trying!

Girl #2: Can't you just fly up there or something?

Penny: I can't fly.

Girl #3: Use your magnet hands.

Penny: I don't have magnet hands.

Girl #4: Hurry! I'm getting tired!

Girl #5: What about hurricane breath?

Penny: Hurricane breath? That's not even a thing.

Boy: What's up? Did she get it?

Girl #4: She tried, but she doesn't have any powers.

Boy: But you're- 

Penny: Matthew Forrester's kid. I know, it's weird. 

The volley ball magically falls

Penny: Not me. Gravity.

Girl #3: Thanks for the ball.

Penny: You're welcome.

H-Base Worker: Penny Forrester?

Penny: Yes?

H-Base Worker: You'll need to come with us.
