If anyone is going to turn
this organization around,
it's going to be King Lizard.
If those sequids ever take over, Earth is next.
Forgive me, Allen.
Hello, son. It's been a while.
This is your little brother.
I never even fucking knew you.
You don't need the bum.
I need help here!
Viltrum knows I've left my post.
- They'll track me. - Are those...
Viltrumite soldiers.
Why do I care about them?
You need to fight like a Viltrumite.
I don't kill people.
Your father will be executed.
You will assume his mission
and prepare the planet for our rule.
It's the emperor's other son.
Is he dead?
His chest is moving.
What is all that red liquid?
It must be his blood.
He has a hole in his body.
The city.
Andressa.
We can take you there.
Mark.
Nolan.
Where's Nolan?
The Viltrumites took him.
I'm sorry.
The city, these people, it's all our fault.
Mark, you saved my life.
And your brother's.
If my dad and I hadn't been here...
...none of this would've happened.
If your father hadn't been here, I wouldn't have a son.
And if you hadn't been here, we both would've died.
Thraxan lives are short compared to yours.
Our culture doesn't assign blame.
We only look forward.
We will rebuild, Mark.
Count on that.
Mark Grayson!
Oh, hey. Nuolzot.
I have good news.
We've completed a ship to take you home.
You can return to your planet
and your center for learning and drink.
Um, thanks, but I can't go yet.
There's still so much to do.
Oh, the city will be whole again soon.
Your people must need your strength.
Eh, there's tons of heroes on Earth.
I'm sure they got it covered.
Behold, the might of Omnipotus!
Tremble before
my unlimited power!
No.
I'm sure you know your planet best.
- Empress. - Nuolzot.
Did you give Mark the news?
I thought he'd be more pleased.
Humans are very confusing.
I am pleased.
Yeah, I-I want to see my mom and my girlfriend.
But there's more to do here, and I...
You've helped enough.
It's time you return home.
But there is something else I must ask of you.
Take your brother with you.
Home to Earth.
What?
What are you talking about?
You're his mom.
Mark, look at me.
Look how much older I am than when you first arrived.
You brother ages quicker than you
but far slower than my people.
I'll be gone before he can form a sentence.
When Nolan was here, that was fine.
He could be raised by his father.
But now...
everyone he knows here will soon be dead.
Generations will pass before he's even an adult.
What mother would abandon him to a life like that?
My dad was worried about that for me, too.
Nolan changed me.
I see life now on a longer scale than most Thraxans.
But to me,
your centuries are still just a concept.
To you and your brother, it's the life you must live.
I just keep hoping my dad's okay.
I hope that, too.
But if he lives,
he'll go searching for you, not me.
Wait, no, that's not...
My time with Nolan was special.
But he will know
my life has run its course.
Remember me, child.
Someday, I hope you'll understand
why I had to let you go.
Please?
Very soon, you'll be all he has.
And he will need someone.
Thanks, Paul. See you tomorrow.
Debbie?
Wait, uh...
Forgot to give you this.
It's from all of us at the office.
For the house we sold?
Kind of. Uh...
Well...
We all know...
...how hard it's been for you.
But it's good to have you back.
Thanks. Thank you, Paul.
Hmm.
Hey, Mom.
Mark! Oh!
Jesus, Mark. It's been two months.
I try not to worry, but even Cecil's been frantic.
He's...
Oh.
Who is that?
I-I-I don't even have the words.
This morning, I didn't even know if Nolan was alive.
I-I didn't even know if I wanted him to be alive.
Now he's left another planet in ruins and his...
his new kid is sitting in my kitchen.
The Viltrumites took him, Mom.
Dad didn't have a choice.
Oh, like hell he didn't.
He didn't have to go to that planet.
He certainly didn't have to find a new partner
and have a new baby.
He's never on the hook for the lives he destroys.
Just leaves it for everyone else to clean up.
Again and again.
I know, I know.
What are we supposed to do with him?
Children that age need constant care.
He doesn't even had a name.
Well, he ages fast.
He won't stay a toddler for long.
Maybe I can take a year off from college to look after him.
What? No. Absolutely not.
I've been gone for two months.
It's not like my grades are gonna be amazing anyway.
And I changed a lot of diapers on the way home.
What about Cecil?
We can't.
There's got to be other options.
Like what? He's purple.
I can't give him to a stranger,
and I don't want to leave college, but...
Y-You're right about Dad leaving his problems
for other people to fix.
But he's my brother.
And I-I can't just abandon him.
Well, you must get it from my side of the family.
Don't quit school, Mark.
I'll take some time off of work
and look after him for a few days.
I'll figure something out.
Mm, but you're changing that diaper
before you go anywhere.
All right, have someone look into the sighting.
It's probably a hoax, but we can't risk it.
I want a report in an hour.
Sir, may I have a minute?
We're a little busy, Donald, if you hadn't noticed.
I need you to make time for...
...this.
Everybody out!
You heard me!
I need the room.
Now.
Okay.
You've got my attention.
After Omni-Man went bad last year,
we blew up our surveillance house to stop him.
You triggered it after getting everyone to safety.
You barely made it out alive yourself.
So why don't I remember it?
You were in shock. You got burned pretty bad.
Burned?
Is that what you call...
this?
With respect, sir,
what did you do to me?
Oh.
I thought I was on the White Room list.
You are, for most of it.
Lights.
What is that?
It's what we did to you.
