Synopsis
When we last left our heroes, Professor Z was on the brink of harnessing the power of the Gem of Zavvenu to re-order the universe! But luckily for the Squad, the Kid snatched the gem at the very last second and hid it in her hat.
Back in the “real world”, the Kid revisits Breathtaking Tales, but something isn’t quite right: while she previously had no trouble imagining the magazine’s fantastic scenes, she now has great difficulty picturing them. Her reverie is interrupted by her Mom and Aunt Dawn, who chide her about reading a magazine they consider “trash”. The Kid notices a striking physical resemblance between Doc Danger and Dawn, but is struck by a glaring personality contrast: whereas the Doc is courageous and independent, Dawn is wrapped up in her relationship to the exclusion of all else. The same goes for her sister, Libby, who possesses the intelligence of the Lady in Black, but slings her words with much less care.
Mom brings the Kid to ad agency Channel Z for Bring your Daughter to Work Day, where the observations continue: Mom’s supervisor, Sal, is as confident and capable as Satellite Sally, but caves under the slightest pressure from the head of the agency, Mr. Zachary; and unlike Jesai of the Jaguars, Mom’s co-worker Jessie never misses an opportunity to stab a friend in the back. The Kid is perplexed by these contradictions, but when the agency’s jingle writer, Bob, makes an offhand comment about Channel Z’s revenue stream (Z + revenue= Zavvenu!), she puts it all together: Professor Z is inhabiting the real world in the guise of Mr. Zachary, somehow continuing to harness the power of the matter phase modulator to make everyone’s lives boring!
