Shortly there afterwards, Virgil hears some commotion coming from outside, and calls over Gear and Jimmy for an emergency, turns out that commotion is coming from no other than Wade, a gangbanger who Virgil hasn't seen since the Big Bang who now goes by the name Overgrowth who plans on robbing a bank with Duke (who now has powers that allow him to talk to animals) and the rest of his crew and then as he was about to defeat him, Duke told a bird to go and pull on Static's costume and underneath it reveals his real cloths and when it happens Wade suddenly reconizes him as Virgil, an old friend that he hadn't seen since the Big Bang, and just as Static reconized him, Sharon was walking outside, looking for Virgil, she then spotted him with Wade, Duke, and the rest of his crew, she them immediantly pulls him by his wrist into their house where without letting Virgil explain, sends him up to his room and locks the door and all the windows so he wouldn't escape, the next day, Sharon is seen putting up some cameras all around the house so she can keep her eyes on Virgil.

At school, Virgil tells Richie and Jimmy all about the situation with his sister, Jimmy tells him to be patient with her and that siblings always have disagreements, even him and Johnny had diagreements while he was still alive but yet they were still able to come to an agreement and get along again and that he should just talk things out with her and she'll understand. Later while she was outside getting food for him and his brother when suddenly she felt something unusual smother her and then she found herself tied up to a chair in an abandoned mansion surrounded by none other but The Meta-Breed, who kidnapped her to lure in Static, Gear, and Jimmy. When Virgil noticed that her sister didn't show up, he put on his costume and since those locks had a password, but fortunately was able to get them unlocked on the first try when he typed in his birthday as a possible password and was able to escape the house and call Gear and Jimmy over and they were able to go to the abandone mansion just in time.

Afterwards Sharon asks Static about how he'd knew her name and told her that he'd explain once she had gotten back, and once they had gotten back he'd told her something and promised to keep it a secret from everyone else, that he is secretly Static, Sharon then teared up and apologized, stating that if she had known, she would've been so strict and for the longest time she had suspected that but she was never really sure, Virgil then says that he forgives her, then suddenly Trina and Robert return from their honeymoon and asked what they have missed.
