Synopsis for "That One Time"
For months, Bruce had been tinkering with building tools for himself under a master inventor named Sergei, whose prime had come during the Cold War. Bruce hoped that with these tools, he would be prepared for every eventuality. To test this, he would attempt to escape a closed room with limited oxygen supply, and nothing but these tools to aid him.
Unfortunately, somewhere in between now and then, his tools had been rendered useless - missing half of their components - and he was now trapped in said closed room. Now, the test would be figuring out how to improvise; how to devise a new tool using the remaining components. Sergei doubts he can do it, but he is surprised when Bruce emerges moments later having used the motor for his quake boots to overclock the sonic radar system of his eye-set, and built that into the gloves he'd designed. Using them, he broke through the stone wall, and dug his way out. Sergei urges Bruce to admit that the most thrilling moment of that escape was when he realized that he could stop mimicking his teacher, and invent something of his own. Bruce admits that it was empowering. Grinning, Sergei responds that power lies in the ability to do the impossible. That is the essence of the skill of invention.
He explains that this was Bruce's test. When he learns to wield the impossible, he will be able to create wonders.
