Phantom and Lightning: Prologue- Recap on the Past 3 years

I was curled on the couch of the big living room of our new house, absorbing myself into a book. It was To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. I loved books now. I honestly don't remember having any particular interest in books. Probably back two years ago in seventh grade. But now for high school freshmen, I'm getting English Honors.

Ever since that year when we defeated Syndrome, I had become a more different person. I wasn't shy anymore with Tony (actually, I got a date with him). We were happy with each other until I had to leave. Tony told me to chat with him on Saturdays. We've done that for a week already, and then he stopped. I guessed he was out with someone else. I've gone more involved with other things, like clubs (eventually book clubs), and then for one whole summer, I took some taekwondo, that meant intense training, I guess.

They don't call me Invisigirl anymore. My new name is Phantom. Previously, I somehow gained a new ability- phasing, like Jack-Jack. Now I can pretty much walk through walls and other things. Edna made me a new supersuit in addition to my new powers, but this time she gave a totally different one because I decided not to be part of Team Incredible anymore. I just want to be a freelance vigilante.

I've been going solo for almost a year already. The hero thing is pretty awesome, and it's easy for me to balance that and school (I do everything in advance). I really don't know what came over me to cause me to become a different person, but I'm rather happy to be that way. Anyways, back to the present.

I just moved to Todayland, a thriving city with high tech stuff. Apparently for the previous ten years, a big outburst of scientific discoveries had occurred, most of them by a new scientist named Cornelius Robinson. I heard he also lives in Todayland. So far I've only been here for a week, and it's pretty hard getting used to the new transportation systems, but I'll get used to it.

Mom and Dad got some new jobs (pretty much the only reason we're here). Mom decided to go journalism and she works for the Todayland Tribune as a news editor. Dad was rehired for social work. If we move, we have to go to new schools. Dash is entering middle school, and Jack-Jack is starting third grade tomorrow. I, on the other hand, will have to attend Todayland High.

I was usually not alone in the living room, but today I was. Mom and Dad were abruptly leaving the room earlier, saying something about an important mission that will take a month. Sadly for us (especially Jack-Jack), they won't be taking us to school. Frozone and his wife will be babysitting us at the moment. At least it wasn't Kari. Sighing, I left the room and retreated to my bedroom.
