Troubled Times

Chapter 1: Unwelcome News

Adam Garcia Shapiro was bored, which if you knew him was a rarity. He walked home from school alone hands in his pockets as he kicked a soccer ball in front of him. I t had been a long very boring day school particularly science where he had been forced to listen Mr. Michaels drone on about atoms, nothing that anyone in Firestorm or O.W.C.A did not already know. So after the long and very dull day he had been looking forward to the walk home with Katie and Isabella.

However they had to go to a Fireside Girls meeting after school so he was alone. At least soccer starts soon. He thought dully as walked on the slight breeze cooling him off from the heat of March.

It had been six months since the final battle with Doofenshmertz and without him to fight both organizations had gone back normal business which was boring. As a matter a fact not much had changed in six months other then the fact that everyone was a little taller, older looking, and had all decided to change there look.

Adam after Katie had continually bugged him about all the red and black he wore had finally caved three months back and let Katie help him buy new clothes. He was now wearing a light white zip up hoodie with a blue line running down the middle of each sleeve and a dark blue undershirt. He also had on dark blue jeans and white, grey, and blue shoes. Could be worse at least she got colors I liked and no yellow like she wanted. He thought as he opened the door to his house and kicked the soccer ball up into his hands.

He walked inside and went to the kitchen where he found his mother sitting and talking with Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher.

"Hola Mijo" said his mother smiling and giving him a hug as he walked in.

"Hi, mom. Hi Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher." Adam said walking over to the fridge and grabbing a can of lemonade from the fridge.

"Hello Adam where is everybody else?" Linda Flynn asked taking a sip of her coffee.

'Isabella and the girls have a Fireside meeting, Phineas and Ferb had something to do with Robotics club, and Buford and Baljeet are at some sort of bully nerd convention." Adam reeled of as he chugged his lemonade.

"Why don't you get involved in some after school activities?" His mother asked with what he could tell was a little worry in her voice.

"Because, soccer does not start until next week mom." Adam said motioning to the soccer ball tucked under his right arm. He turned around walked out of the kitchen and up to his room before either women could ask any more questions. The truth was Phineas and Ferb had been called in by Candace to fix the portable animal translators they had made for O.W.C.A, but as non of the parents had no memory of them or Firestorm that would be hard to explain.

Upstairs Adam took off his hoodie and set it on his bed before saying to apparently no one:

"Initiate code 3224."

His room seemed to spring to life the far wall slid open to reveal a large T.V that currently had the words dialing Alt Isabella displayed on the screen as the other wall spun around to reveal a wall full of weapons that a normal fifteen year old boy would only dream of owning. Adam sat on the edge of his bed and looked up as Alt Isabella appeared on the screen looking grim.

"When I try calling my second in command I expect him to answer, you didn't when I called earlier why?" she asked as if annoyed.

"Well hello to you to boss." Adam said smiling up at her as she glared down at him.

"I asked you a question." She said her voice still firm and commanding. Candace taught her well. Adam thought before he spoke.

"I'm sorry chief I was in school at the time, by the way you got me two days of detention for that thanks a lot." Adam said rolling his eyes at the memory of the principal yelling herself hoarse at him before giving him the detentions.

"I'm sorry I forgot, but I have some very important and unsettling news." She said not sounding the least bit sorry for getting him in trouble at school.

"Must be important if you tried me at school, so what's the big issue?" Adam asked as he casually took another sip of his lemonade.

"The big issue is James and Adyson escaped." Alt Isabella said her voice raising a little more with each word.

Adam choked on his lemonade, after a few minutes of coughing and sputtering he managed to choke out:

"H…How did they manage that!"

"Adyson is a former Firestorm member and James is smarter then we gave him credit for." Alt Isabella said

"No I mean how could they have gotten out, weren't you guys there?" Adam asked his own voice raising a little.

"We were away on a mission at the time, we only found out when we returned today!" She yelled back so loudly that Adam was glad he had sound proofed his room when they had been installing all the other stuff.

"Okay okay I'm sorry it's I really don't want to have to deal with either of them again." Adam said rubbing his eyes in irritation.

"I know you don't Adam, but I had to let you know after.." she began but Adam cut her off

"Please don't talk about that, okay?" Adam asked some anger leaking into his voice as he took his hands away and looked at her with those unnaturally blue eyes. She nodded knowing it was a very touchy subject for him.

"Well I thought you should know, we are obviously trying to find them but so far we have no clue where they went. I will let you know more when we have our meeting this weekend until then Isabella out." She said as the screen went black.

Adam sighed in frustration and pressed a button on the screen his room went back to a normal kid room as he flopped backwards on his bed.

His two least favorite people in either dimension on the lose again and he would have to tell the others. He did not see how things could get any worse. The doorbell rang, but Adam paid it no mind as he heard his mother go to answer it.

Things can't possibly get any worse! He thought to himself angrily as his mother mother called up:

"Adam you have visitors, sweetie."

"Thanks mom I'll be down in just a second." He called back sitting up. It's probably josh or jake here to talk about soccer. He thought walking down stairs thinking at least he could distract himself for a while. But it was not Jake or Josh that he found sitting on his couch.

Sitting there smiling politely at his appearance as if they belonged here causing him to run a hand through his hair in irritation.

James and Alt Adyson were sitting in his house.
