Talon's Adventures

Talon's Adventures is ninth episode of the Fifth Season of Static Shock that aired on March 12, 2005 on Kid's WB.

Plot
After hearing that Ebon has the flu, Talon uses this opportunity to sneak into Alva Inc. to find a cure for Bang Babies, since if they were the ones responsible for the incident, maybe they have something that could potentially reverse the effects as well, she was able to sneak past the guards via a black robe that she put on which covered the majority of her body, as well as tying her own arms/wings behind her via a rope and when she got to the lab there was fortunately no one there, surprisingly enough and she took off her disguise.

As she had done alot of prior research before this she knew what chemicals made up the Quantum Vapor and how those chemicals interect with other chemicals and luckly enough just how she would've guessed all the chemicals she needed were right here inside the lab and all she needed to do was to mix them all up and release it into the air but she accidentally spilled a mysterious chemical, only known as Chemical X that was also in the lab at the time, and when it was all done she released the new gas into the air, but it didn't go quite as planned as instead of turning her back into a normal human, it instead turned her into an even more gortesque monster who has lost all qualms of human sentience and soon enough, all Bang Babies also faced the same symptoms, including both Static and Gear. The next day there were reports of a zombie outbreak in Dakota and all citizens were advised to lock their doors and stay home, including Jimmy and his family and during that time, however he had concluded that something happened to Static, Gear, and Rubberband Man since they were his only friends that never reached out to him during that time.

So Jimmy put on his secret agent gear and snuck out of his house to find out what's causing this and how to stop it and just a few minutes after getting out of the house, he spotted what looked to be a zombie version of Static complete with green skin, a torn up version of his suite and angry face which looked like he was about to attack him, but he dodged right when he was about to pounce and shortly afterwards that this "zombie apocolypse" was only affecting Bang Babies not people like him who weren't at the docks during The Big Bang. When he came across Alva Inc. he noticed something odd, green smoke was coming from the building, so he used his grappling hook to get into the window where the green smoke was coming from, which was the same labratory that Talon used to attempt to make a cure for the Bang Babies and noticed that the smoke was coming from a paticular container full of a green liquid so he quickly tried to find a lid, but just then one of the zombified Bang Babies came in and knocked the container down, spilling it's contents and then he grabbed another container near by and threw it at her, causing her to be revealed to be Talon who was the one who had created the formula in the first place and because she had no memories of her being a zombified version of herself, she thought that Jimmy had spilled the "cure", so she flew after him.

During that time Jimmy found a hose, which he filled with that same liquid that turned Talon back into her athropormorphic bird-self that he sprayed onto the nearby zombified Bang Babies who quickly turned back into their normal selves including Static and Gear who had no memories of what just happened, so the next day, Jimmy told them about what happened, Static questions how that could've happened since he's immune to brainwashing, but believed him nonetheless and Jimmy told them it had nothing to do with brainwashing and it instead changed their DNA, which affected all Bang Babies but not non-Bang Babies like himself or Frieda Goren and that's how he was able to do what he did without turning into a zombie-like creature himself.
