History[]
At school, Mark's friend William Clockwell was surprised that the Guardians had let the Mauler Twins get that close to the President, but Mark points out that they had not made it inside the building and that Omni-Man was there too. William calls him an Omni-Maniac and teases him. He asks Mark if he wanted to play a game, but Mark mentions that he has a job and tells him that comic books are expensive. Down the hall, Todd teases Amber, who tells him not to harass her. He insists on grabbing her arm and not letting go, which makes Mark angry and he approaches Todd, who was way bigger than he was. He punched Mark, who was only saved by Amber who kicked Todd in his genital area. Once Todd left, Mark was thanked but left bruised.
Later, Amber greets Mark, telling him that she had found out he had gotten punched for her again. He tells her that it was a new strategy he tried, which was getting hit until Todd went home. He tells her he has to go and she sees him meet up with Eve.
Amber approaches William and asks him if he was dating Eve and William only said he wished he was. He took it back, but asked Amber if she wanted his number and wrote it down for her.
In his room, Mark looks at Amber's phone number and calls her. He awkwardly introduces himself, but she pretends not to recognize him and says that she did not know if he would call since he had a lot going on, but Mark tells her he thinks she is amazing and asks her if she wanted to study with him, which she agrees to.
In Mark's room, William cleans it up, telling him what needed to go. He tells his friend that he had brought homework for him and told him everything Amber liked after asking around at school. Mark tells him that it was just a study date, but William told him that every date should feel like a first date. The doorbell rang and Mark threw all his dirty plates and clothes out the window, telling William to leave.
Mark and Amber had their study date, but it was constantly interrupted.
He greets Amber, who picks up the book William had brought. Mark nervously introduced himself as a comic fan. Amber asks which his favorite is, so Mark starts talking about them. Amber asks if she can borrow one, which Mark agrees to. Mark's phone rings and he hangs up, but he is called once again, so he turns his phone off. He is surprised when he is called yet again, so he picks up and Cecil pops out from his phone, relieved that Amber had left.
Mark asks if Cecil if he had been spying on him, but Cecil tells him that if he wants to be a hero, privacy is not an option. Mark points out that he did not even work for him, but Cecil counters by telling him he never would if he never showed respect or decided if he wanted to be a hero. Mark is forced to decide then, and he says he does want to be a hero. Cecil hands him a communication device and tells him Eve would be there as well. Cecil tells him that he needs to go to Mount Rushmore, which Mark does not know where to find. His boss complains that schools did not teach enough and leaves. Amber walks back in and Mark makes up a lame excuse to leave. As Debbie walked in with snacks, Mark smiled nervously and left.
Amber was mad since Mark had left in order to help save Mount Rushmore.
When Mark gets home, he runs into Nolan, who tells him to slow down. Mark explained that he had left Amber in his room while he dealt with a crisis. Nolan congratulated him, saying that that was the hard part of the job, but reminded him he should change. Mark walked back into his room, and Amber angrily told him she had been there for an hour, and asking why he had asked her to hang out in the first place, leaving. He asked her why she even came since she had only known of him when he stood up to Todd, but she reminds him that Todd had kicked his ass. She told him that she wanted to know the guy who had taken a punch for her.
Eve goes to Mark's house, only to find him on his bed with Amber, kissing her. She tells herself that that was good for Mark and flies away.
Mark and Amber walk through a street, sharing a dessert. Amber tells him that she had volunteered building schools in the Philippines, which made her gain perspective. She asks him if he had ever traveled and he mentions that he had been to Mount Everest with his father. She asks him if he had liked Nepal or China, but he does not know how to respond and changes the subject, buying her a rice separator.
Amber and Mark head back to the former's home. She tells him to plan the date next time, which he likes. The two lean in for a kiss and Mark flies into the sky happily and heads back home. He finds Cecil and his parents talking about NASA's first manned mission to Mars and needed Nolan to shadow the mission so that nothing went wrong, but Nolan would not do it since he needed to train his son and was needed on Earth with the Guardians gone. Cecil tells Nolan that Earth needed a win, but Nolan tells him that nobody would care about Mars if there was an attack on Earth, saying that his priority was his family and the planet.
Amber watches the news, where the Mars mission is being broadcast, and hears the doorbell ring. She sees Mark with a big, expensive baul they had seen on their date. She thanks him for it and invites him in, but he told her that he would be gone for two weeks in order to volunteer, asking her not to lose interest in him while he was gone. They kiss and he flies along with the Mars shuttle.
Mark greets Amber at school. She kisses him and asks him how it was, to which he responds that it was boring and a few other details. Amber pointed out that his story was not very specific, but Mark tells her that he got her a rock, which she does not find very impressive. He tells her not to show it to any geologists, and she thanks him for the rock.
People watched a video where Invincible fought a man who surrendered but would not listen and hit him once again. At school, Mark greeted Amber, but she ignores him since he was twenty minutes late. Mark explains that he had gotten a cake for her and stays behind, but she drags him with her.
Mark gets to Amber's home and apologizes for getting there late. He tells her that the food was great, but she tells him that dinner had been two hours before and asks him if she was important to him since he was bad at showing up. Mark apologizes and says things are not easy, but she tells him that she would not go down that road again. He is able to get one last chance and leaves.
After class, Mark complains about a test, but Eve tells him it is important. When Mark asks if she was okay, she tells him she had left home and did not know what she was doing. Amber joins them and asks Mark if he would be joining her. Mark tells her he would and Amber tells Eve that Mark had volunteered to help at the Beckwell Community Center, where they cooked dinners for anyone who was hungry, which impressed Mark.
After Mark left, Amber invites Eve, who tried to excuse herself, but could not since she was no longer busy saving the world. Before she left, Amber asks Eve if she had seen Mark acting weird since he was always late and did not show at times. Eve defends Mark, however, telling her that even though Mark was bad at time management, he was a good guy.
Eve meets Amber at Beckwell Community Center, where the latter shows her around. When Eve asks if Mark was there, she is told that he had 15 minutes to be there or he would be dumped. Eve is handed an apron and is put on chopping duty.
Amber and Eve pour soup for everybody, who Amber knows. Eve tells her that being so involved was impressive, but Amber says that she had thought Mark would be there with her. Eve receives a phone call telling her about Mark, so she tells Amber she needed to leave. She tells Amber that Mark loved her and would be there if he could before leaving.

Amber and Mark talking.
In Amber's room, she tells Mark he did look like he had been run over but did not like that she could not visit him. She feels guilty that she had basically dumped him that night. He asks her if he remembered the first time they talked, which was awkward at first, but she had given him another chance. He asks her if they could start over once again, which she accepts by faking a phone call with him.
William, Mark and Amber get into William's car and leave. Amber asks William to tell her about Rick, who William is excited for her to meet. He tells her he is incredible and does not stop talking about him, which annoys Mark. At Upstate University, they greet Rick, who helps them with their bags. They look at Rick and William mentions it would be a great weekend.
Mark mentions that the place was great and Rick tells them he had arranged for them to see what a biology class looked like. On a kiosk, a missing poster looking for Doug Cheston was posted.
D.A. Sinclair was bored by the lecture and told the professor, shocking Mark and the rest of the class.
At the class, a professor gives a biology class, but D.A. Sinclair does not agree with what he has to say and tells him that all human failings were simply engineering challenges and tells them that they were all machines. Amber tells him he was being a jerk and says that what he had told the class was dramatic. D.A. Sinclair walks up to them and tells Rick that he did not belong in a school of idiots. He calls Rick impressive and is asked to leave by the professor.
On campus, William tells Rick that D.A. Sinclair had been checking him out, which must be normal for him, but Rick says he simply needs friends. Amber asks Mark if he is okay, and he says that he is happy. Rick tells them that they could wander around the campus and they start looking around.
After a while, Mark tells Amber that he likes it there and wanted to go to the school with her, but she tells him that if he wanted that, he would need better grades. When Mark tells her he is serious they lean in for a kiss but are interrupted by William and Rick, who great them. All of a sudden, there was an explosion, and from it came a cyborg who started attacking people while holding his head. When the cyborg grabs Rick, William throws soda cans at it, so it attacks him instead. The cyborg is choking William and is about to kill him. Amber calls Mark, who disappears and returns as Invincible, stopping the cyborg's fatal blow. Since William was dropped, he looks up at Invincible and recognizes Mark, who simply told him to run. After that, Invincible and the cyborg started fighting for real. Invincible was being choked until he manages to lift up the cyborg's mask, which angers the creature and it throws him away. The creature looks at himself and screams in horror, killing himself.
Mark rushes to William, who is in shock, but Mark asks him to calm down and leaves. Rick walks up to William, who tells them he is in shock. Rick hugs him, thanking him for having saved him, which William likes. Mark walks up as himself and lies and tells them that the police were on their way Amber acted irrational When asked by a furious Amber where he had been, he tells her that he had run for help, but she did not believe him. She tells him that both she and Eve had been wrong about him.
Amber tells Mark that she would not share rooms with him, so Rick tells him that he could bunk with him and William. He also tells them that he would get them some beer so things cooled down a little. When he leaves, William excitedly repeats that Mark is Invincible, but does not like that he was never told.
As Amber walks down the hall, a boy named Kyle invites her to a frat party. Later, Amber is approached by Kyle, who greets her at the party. Meanwhile, Mark makes it to the party. At the party, Mark sees Amber talking to Kyle, who is holding her shoulder. While they talked, Amber tells him he is a little nerdy for a frat guy and he tells her that his girlfriend says the same thing, which surprises her. He asks Amber if she was seeing anybody and she tells him that not anymore.
The ride back from Upstate University is silent, as Amber does not want to listen to Mark.
Amber says goodbye to William and tells Mark that she did not want to put up with his bullshit anymore. As Mark was about to tell Amber he was Invincible she shut the door, but Mark flies up to her bedroom as Invincible and explains why he was always late. However, Amber already knew and she tells him that he lied to her and does not trust her, so she tells him to leave.
Amber watches the news, where they mention the destruction caused by the fight between Omni-Man and Invincible. They also say that there have been many lives lost as the Guardians and Atom Eve helped out.
Mark's friends visited him in order to see how he was doing.
Mark goes to the fridge and finds it empty, so he tells his mom he would order something for dinner but finds her crying in her room. He closes the door and opens it to find Amber, who hugs him and kisses him. He asks him if they were back together and she tells him that if he wanted to since it seemed she was not the only person being lied to. Mark was surprised to find out she knew Omni-Man was his father, but she explains that it was obvious. She asks him if he wants to talk about it and the doorbell rings, with William and Eve standing outside his door. Mark tells them they should go out.
Mark told his friends how he was doing at a restaurant.
Mark's friends ask him how his mother is doing and he tells them that it was not good. He does not know what to say and tells them that he felt empty inside and nothing seems real.

Mark gets a call and leaves as Cecil tells him he needs him. Cecil tells him that something was flying towards them from deep space.
As Mark leaves, the whole restaurant shakes, and Eve tells Amber and William she was Atom Eve, which surprises William. However, neither Amber or William recognized her.
