Johnny was determined to help his mother in any way that he could without fully examining the danger he and his best friend were now in. They were small fish in a vast ocean, caught in between two Great Whites that could smell blood in the water. The two shouldn't have been anywhere near the giants but logic and reason had long since been abandoned.
"Hold her steady, D." Johnny spoke firmly like the sea captain he wasn't.
"I'll do my best." He replied growing even more unsure by the second.
The closer they got, the more violent the waves became. It was nothing short of a miracle that their dingy hadn't been capsized. Thankfully they both knew how to swim, but given who they were in the water with, did it really even matter?
"Steady... steady." Johnny repeated as he started to take aim.
"Just promise me you won't miss." Derek half-joked. "We're dead if you do."
"Noted." He responded without looking back.
The two kaiju were still locked in a test of strength and that gave the concerned son the opening he needed. His breath grew heavier, he could hear his heartbeat in his ears, and feel the sweat forming on his brow as his index finger hovered over the trigger of the speargun.
He was so locked in that he hadn't heard the voice of his best friend behind him. "Oh shit!"
The boat jerked, causing Johnny to fall forward and drop the gun in the water. "No!"
He turned around to berate Derek before his eyes grew wide.
"Oh shit!" He parroted.
What he found was none other than the giant forms of both Mrs. Jordan and Beth with the former's hand in the water under their little boat. Derek gripped the sides tight and Johnny quickly followed suit as the older woman lifted them both out of the water. The two teens were left stunned as they experienced what felt like the longest elevator ride of their lives.
"M-Mom?!" Derek said in shock. "You're so... big!"
The two were now in front of Debbie's face while Beth stood off to the side with her hands on her hips looking every bit like a disappointed parent.
"What in the hell did you two think you were doing?" The older giant scolded. "Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"

As this was going on, Steve remained on the boat, having grown to a more manageable size having been in Beth's pocket. He honestly wouldn't have looked all that out of place if he were in the NBA. He just stood on the deck by the prototype hoping Debbie and Beth gave the boys a good tongue lashing for being so reckless.
"When all of this is over I'm burying all of my research." He thought.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. J! I just wanted to help my mom!" Johnny tried to explain.
"I get that, but did you ever stop to think what it would do to her if you got killed." Debbie asked.
The boy had the decency to look ashamed. If he were to get killed in the conflict then it would destroy his mom. His little sister might shrug it off but his mother would be devastated.
"I'm sorry." He repeated.
Debbie then set her eyes on her own son. "You're not excused from this either young man."
"I was just trying to help my friend." Derek tried to defend himself. The words sounded weak even to his own ears.
Debbie was having none of it. "And what do you think would happen to me, your father, and sisters if you died!"
Derek hung his head. He knew exactly what would happen. "Sorry mom."
The older woman took a deep breath. "We'll discuss this later. Right now..."
"Hold her steady, D." Johnny spoke firmly like the sea captain he wasn't.
