  6. Elastagirl initially has concerns about leaving her family, but Mr. Incredible assures her it will be okay because he wants superheroes to be legal again (so he can fight crime as well). Elastagirl calls and tells DEVTECH she will participate in their program.
  7. After being outfitted with a camera, a new fancy home for her family and a new suit, Elastagirl goes on her first mission. By eavesdropping on a police scanner, she hears about potential danger at a hovertrain opening. She saves the hovertrain from crashing in an impressive motorcycle chase, and learns the driver of the train was being controlled by a screen.

Elastagirl springs into action to save the previous guest from Screenslaver: the Ambassador. She successfully saves the Ambassador.
  12. Working with Evelyn at DEVTECH, Elastagirl creates a traker to trace Screenslaver's signal. She goes for another interview, waits for the Screenslaver to interrupt, and traces the signal. She ends up fighting Screenslaver in his apartment, and defeats him. He is arrested.
  13. Meanwhile, Mr. Incredible sees his old car on TV, and momentarily tries to retreive it via remote before realizing that is a bad idea. After being overwhelmed by his children, primarily Jack-Jack and his powers, Mr. Incredible goes to Edna mode for help with Jack-Jack.
