In case you do not know, I don't own the Incredibles and its related characters. Brad Bird, Pixar and Disney do. New Toronto, as well as Voyage, Current, and its related characters belong to me. Any feedback or advice would be appreciated. This is my first time.
EDIT: By the way... if you're seeing this, I'm a butt. I forgot to thank you for reading. :)
UPDATE: Expect deleted scenes to come whenever. Just to fill in any gaps and answer your 'burning questions'. By the way, this next Deleted Scene will be the last. Until I write some spiritual successor to this, that is.
Chapter 1 - The Message
It's a rather cloudy and boring day in the futuristic version of Kensington Market in New Toronto. Looking out of his bedroom window, a dark-skinned man with long dreads gazes out, inspecting something. He turns to his computer screen with a stunned look on his face as he mumbles.
"Hello? You there? Just… Wait, wait. Just h-h-hold on. Let me speak, please."
Inside of a bedroom filled with fancy technology, instruments, and clothes on the floor, a holographic face appears via a stylish white cellphone on a desk. The face of a freckled, red-headed woman appears, her expression is mixed with shock and disbelief.
The young man talks to the woman as his usually melodic accent comes through in a desperate, rushed tone. "You gotta come and see this. What I'm seeing… It's mad weird. It's… it's kinda important."
Axel Price, aka. Current, a 24-year-old, Bajan-Canadian superhero, adjusts his hair in a ponytail. Still stunned, he sees his friend's face as she looks visibly worried. A soft, lilting Northern Irish accent leaves the young woman's lips. Axel's eyes seem to bulge out of his face.
"Don't worry, Ax. I'll be there in a second."
Suddenly, an odd humming sound emerges in Axel's small bedroom. Summoning a small purple portal, 24-year old Hannah-Faith Yates, aka. Voyage, steps through it. Her eyes immediately revert to her natural shade of blue.
"Axel, Ax... calm down. You look like you saw a ghost strip or something."
Axel suddenly gets up and guides Hannah to his computer chair. Axel quickly shows Hannah what's on his computer screen.
"This is serious bus- You know what? Look."
A curious and mildly annoyed Hannah looks at the screen. On the screen, an anonymous email is shown on the screen. Hannah's expression quickly changes…
"I assume I am speaking to the one they call Current. I figured out who you are and who you work with. A young woman named Voyage, am I correct? Do not worry. I'm a friend. I wish to speak to the both of you regarding something big. All will be revealed shortly, but I need your help. Enclosed is a location, a building near an abandoned warehouse. I'll be expecting you two shortly.
Regards, Shift"
Hannah turns to Axel. "What the shit, Axel?! Shift? Who the heck is he? How did someone know about us?"
Axel quickly opens the enclosed picture. It's a screenshot showing a rather dilapidated building with written directions on it. He quickly paces around the room.
"I don't know, Hannah! How would someone know? Look, look. We gotta head down there and we gotta...we have to bust some heads in. What if it's the 77s or some other Anomaly looking to intimidate us?"
Hannah stands up and calms her friend down, placing her hands on his shoulders.
"Axel, look. We're known in New Toronto, no doubt about that. But let's be smart about this, okay?" Hannah taps the side of his head with a smile. "We don't want both of our noodles cooked."
Axel calms down a bit. "Alright, alright. You wanna call Moon or D.K. for this?"
Hannah looks back at the email and shakes her head. "Mmm, no. Let's do this discreetly."
Axel quickly realizes the hidden meaning through her words. "Lights Out?"
"Aye, you know me so well," Hannah says, pinching his cheek as her eyes turn purple.
Suddenly, Axel places a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Wait. No Moon, no D.K., and no costumes? Seriously?"
With her eyes still purple, Hannah smiles. "It'll be a gamble but if this person discovered our secret, why would we need them?" She summons a bigger portal, able to fit the two of them at the same time.
Axel nods as he takes his blue-and-white shades on the desk, putting it on. "Yeah. Let's get this over with. Lights Out?"
Hannah smiles. "Lights Out. Just like old times. It'll be grand."
They both step through the portal.
The two young heroes emerge out of the portal to the side of the sketchy building highlighted in the email. Axel quickly scans the area outside to find no one around. There are lights in the building as he spots a figure inside.
"Can't believe we're doing this on a Friday afternoon," Axel whispers. "You ready?"
Hannah takes her black-and-pink shades from her pocket and puts it on.
"Always. Time to find some answers. Let's go."
Author's Notes: Well, I decided that after seeing Incredibles 2 twice, the time came to write a story I've been cookin' up in my mind. I understand the first chapter might have nothing to do w/ the Incredibles... yet. The next chapter will take care of that soon, I assure you. I intend on crossing the streams quick and planting seeds shortly after. I don't know how frequently I'll be uploading chapters, but expect Chapter II very shortly. Hope you enjoy it.
