At 10:00 Violet was doing her final rounds as Helen walked up the hall with her.
Helen: Vie you could use some help, I think Jack Jack and Dash should be here too.
Violet: I won't be able to pay them, and you know Dash there has to be something in it for him.
Helen: All right then Jack Jack and I will help, Jack Jack is still in the stages of finding his powers.
Violet: Mom I have something to tell you.
Helen: What is it?
Violet: These kids are in danger, there's a new villian out there named Mirage, she stopped going by that name after we killed her husband.
Helen: Vie you have a responsibility to these kids, their all supers and they can help you if they learn their powers.
Violet(Stopping at Billy's room) Lights out Billy.
Billy was already curled up under his covers sleeping his blue hair hanging in his eyes as Violet shut the light off.
Helen: So how do you know Mirage is after these kids?
Violet: Her daughter is Aphrodite Anderson, the indestructable Aphrodite Anderson.
Helen: Vie are you sure you want to do this?
Violet: These kids have nothing else to go back to mom, they have nowhere else to turn.
Helen: And your sure you want to be the person they turn to?
Violet: Yes I've thought long and hard about it and I don't want these kids in any more danger.
Helen: But danger could be knocking at your front door any time now.
Violet: Tomorrow I'm going to teach them to let their powers out, if you and Jack Jack are here then great, if not then I hope to see you at lunch.
Helen: We'll be here in the morning, and little miss Elastic band is mine.
Violet: I was hoping you'd say that, because you understand her powers more than I do.
Violet stopped at Aphrodite's door to find darkness and her out like a light.
Helen: At least we know that one of them knows how to use their powers, now we just have to stop the suicide attempts.
Violet: Done and done, I gave her my word that she was safe here, and she gave me her word that she wouldn't hurt herself anymore.
Wendy's room was next as she clutched a stuffed puppy dog snoring lightly disappearing and reappearing in her bed.
Violet(Whispering) At least I can understand somebody's powers here.
Helen(Whispering) She seems so sweet.
Violet closed Wendy's door and continued to walk down the hall as Helen was at her heels.
Helen: Out of all the kids I've had Vie, your the one who surprises me the most, I mean you have the biggest heart out of anyone I've met.
Violet stopped at Mark's room next as he quickly shut his eyes hearing his door open.
Violet: So far so good, I thought the older ones would argue about having to go to bed at ten o clock.
When Mark's door closed he waited for the click and then ran to his window with a rope made of sheets hanging out of it.
Mark: This Violet must be crazy if she thinks I'm going to bed at ten o clock, I'm 13 years old not three.
Mark slowly descended down the wall of the orphanage and ran across the lawn hoping not to get caught.
Violet: I just think these kids have potential, they can do amazing things if we let them.
Helen: I agree Vie, and with you helping them it's going to be easier to find their powers.
Violet stopped at Matthews room where he was a blanket literally and snoring softly.
Violet(Closing his door) How does he do that, I mean he can become anything.
Helen: Well he's a Super, there's no telling what other powers he can have.
Violet: I just have this bad feeling that somebody's missing, I mean I'm like a mother to these kids and it feels like I'm missing one.
Helen: I used to get that feeling all the time with Dash, Jack Jack, and you.
Violet stopped at Lisa's room where she was stretched across the bed, her body like a straight line and he arms hanging off the bed.
Violet(Whispering) How does it feel to stretch your body mom?
Helen(Closing the door) Kind of funny most of the time, I mean how would you feel if you could stretch your body?
Mark got to a video arcade at the center of town as he smiled up a the lights of the sign.
Mark: Hello sanctuary, this is better than having to deal with the Super shrimps back at Violet's.
Mark opened the doors as buzzers, bells, and cartoon violence greeted him.
Mark(Smiling) This is soooooooo awesome.
The manager of the arcade walked up when he saw Mark come in.
Manager: Hey there squirt, where's your mommy and daddy?
Mark: I'm not sure, maybe their back home in Colorado, but again I can't be sure.
Manager: I know who you are, I have posters of all your friends behind my desk, and without an adult you can't be here.
Mark: Look old man we can do this the easy way or the hard way.
Manager(Grabbing a phone) Looks like the hard way huh?
Mark pushed the manager behind his desk and took off as the manager knew who to call first.
Violet: I just can't shake this feeling, it's driving me nuts.
Violets cell rang as she looked at the number and saw it was unknown.
Violet: Uhhhhh hello?
Manager: Mrs. Parr this is Mr. Cristensen the owner of the arcade at the center of town, one of your supers were here.
Violet(Panicing) I knew I was missing someone, and what do you mean were there?
Mr. Cristensen: I mean were here, meaning not here anymore.
Violet: All right I need a desription, and which way they ran.
Mr. Cristensen: Blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty strong for a little kid.
Violet(Grumbling) Mark I'll kill him, which way did he run Mr. Cristensen?
Mr. Cristensen: Out the emergancy exit, there's a pizza parlor next to us, I'd try there first.
Violet: Thanks for your call Mr. Cristensen, I'll be sure to punish him when I catch him.
Violet slammed her phone shut as she looked at Helen.
Violet: I told you I was missing one, Mr. strong man is out there somewhere having the time of his life, but it's about to be cut short.
Helen: I have the van, it'd be easier to find him that way.
Billy shuffled from his room rubbing his eyes against the light as Violet looked at him.
Billy(Grogily) I hate to be a tattle tale, but Mark's out and he's not at the pizza parlor, he's at a party.
Violet(Kneeling in front of Billy) Sweetie how do you know this?
Billy handed Violet a flier for a party as she crumpled it up, and lifted Billy onto her shoulders.
Violet: How about we take a drive to pick him up, we can get ice cream on the way back.
Billy: I really don't think Mark deserves Ice cream after sneaking out.
Violet: He doesn't but you do, and you can eat it in front of him, just like he makes fun of you, now you can do it to him.
Billy's arms grew black veins as Violet noticed this, and became shocked.
Billy: No worries it happens when I don't use my powers for awhile, it'll go away.
Helen: If we're going to catch him we better hurry.
Billy: The parties all night Grandma, I'm sure he's not going anywhere he doesn't even know I have the flier.
Violet: Away we go, mom I hate to do this but could you maybe stay here with the kids?, they need adult supervision.
Helen: Sure just hurry I have to get home soon.
Violet ran out the front door and jumped into Helen's van as she buckled Billy in the backseat and sped to the adress the flier gave her.
Billy: We're reaching 100 MPH mommy, are you looking to get pulled over?
Violet: That's where my invisibility comes in, they won't know I'm driving.
The house wasn't far from the orphanage as smoke was coming from the windows and kids were making out on the front lawn.
Violet(Looking down at Billy) Are you ready for this sweetie?
Billy(Flexing his finger's) Let's do it mommy, he is so going to wish he never snuck out.
Violet: And he won't be sneaking out again, not on my watch.
Billy and Violet stepped out of the van and up the lawn as the making out showed no signs of stopping, as a police car drove up.
Billy: Guess my powers won't be getting used right now.
Violet: Not in front of the police, when we get back you can unleash on him.
Violet knocked on the door as a police officer followed her up the steps.
Oficer: I take it your here to pick up one of the rowdy teens?
Violet: Yea, and I take it your here to break the party up?
A teenaged girl opened the door as she saw adult and went to close it but Violet's foot stopped the door.
Officer(Walking in) Freeze little lady, this souire is being crashed.
Violet: And I'm looking for Mark Sanders, is he here?
Girl: Yea follow me, who's the cute munchkin?
Billy: I'm four and three quarters, and the names Billy.
The girl led Violet to Mark who was making out with a girl and Billy knew how to break it up.
Billy(Quickly zapping the girl's earing) That should cause some damage.
Girl #2(Rubbing her ear) Ouch Mark I said no biting.
Mark: I never bit you, my lips have been on yours the whole time.
Girl #2(Throwing a cup os soda at him) Creepazoid, I don't know what I see in you.
Mark: Lincoln wait we can talk about this.
Violet(Grabbing him) Send her an e mail, do you know how much trouble your in?
Mark: What's Billy doing out?
Billy: Looking for you, but I got permission to leave and you didn't.
Kids ran this way and that as the police officer was taking names.
Violet: Am I allowed to take him officer?, or would you like his name too?
Officer: Take him, whatever your going to do to him is far worse than what I can do.
When they were out of seeing distance Violet grabbed Mark's arms and pushed him into the front seat.
Violet: I am so agravated with you right now, do you know what could have happened.
Mark: Chill out I was just looking for some fun.
Billy: Well I hope you found it because your not going anywhere for a long time.
Mark: Shut up Sparky, I bet you ratted me out didn't you?
Billy: I didn't rat you out, if I didn't say anything Violet was sure to notice the sheet rope hanging from your window.
Mark: Why are you such a goodie goodie Sparky?, I bet if you had fun in your life you'd be more fun to be around.
Violet: He's about to have fun, tomorrow we're going to the mall and he can get whatever he wants.
Billy(Brightening) Whatever I want?
Violet: Whatever your little heart desires.
Billy: Can I get candy?
Violet: As much as you can handle.
Billy: And a TV and Xbox 360.
Violet: It's your day.
Billy: And more clays, paints, markers, and paper?
Mark: This is so not fair, he doesn't deserve this attention.
Violet: Yes he does because ever since he got here peopel were pushing him around except for me, now he's going to get what he wants.
Billy: And the forst thing I'm getting is Ice Cream.
Violet: That's right, were almost there.
Mark: Can we get some chicken fingers too?
Violet: We can't but Billy and I can.
Mark: All because I snuck out?
Violet: Wow you catch on quick.
Mark: I didn't know TV's were allowed in the orphanage.
Violet: Sure they are, I mean what did you expect to do all day learn?
Billy: I want an ice cream sundae with chicken fingers mom.
Mark: Why are you playing favorites mother dear?
Violet: I'm not, pardon me for not giving attention to you bad behavior.
When they get back to the orphanage Billy has hot fudge all over his face as Mark smiled.
Mark: Now all the kids are going to know he had ice cream, the proof is in the pudding in his case the hot fudge.
Violet: There will hopefuflly be no kids up when we get in there, my mom's babysitting.
Mark(Glaring at Billy) Teachers pet, that's what you are a teacher's pet.
Billy: Well if ice cream and chicken fingers are my pet food then sign me up.
Violet(Picking him up) Let's get you to bed, I have some things to work out with Mark.
Mark: You can't punish me, I'm legally not your son.
Violet: You are as long as you live here, and for rule breaking your grounded for the weekend.
Mark: Goodnight Sparky, I hope you die a slow painful death in your sleep.
Billy: I won't be here when you wake up tomorrow, I'm going to the mall.
Helen: Good your back, their sleeping like little Angels.
Violet(Leading Mark inside and glaring at him) Most of them anyway.
Billy shuffled off to his room as Violet led Mark to her office.
Violet: Sit I'll be right with you.
Mark: You can't tell me what to do, I'm not a dog.
Violet(Glaring at him and pointing) I said to sit, you should be lucky that you aren't sent straight to bed.
Mark pulled a chair up to the table and Violet gave him a notebook.
Violet: For documentation, it'll help you understand your powers more.
Mark took the journal and opened it as Violet took hers out and made Mark's name on an empty page.
Mark: What are we supposed to be doing?
Violet: I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them, any other questions?
Mark: In that case ask away, I'll answer whatever you want to know.
Violet: When did you discover that you could use super strength.
Mark: I was three and my mom was cleaning, she threw her back out and I lifted the couch for her.
We're brought to Mark's mind's eye where his mother is vaccuming and we see him smiling at cartoons on the TV.
Mark: Look mommy it's Elmo, he's silly.
Mark's mom(Holding her back) Ughhhhhh I can't lift the couch to vaccum under it, I guess I'll have to wait for your father to get home.
Mark: No mommy I can do it for you, I love to help.
Mark's mom: No Mark you'll hurt yourself, just wait for daddy to get home.
Mark(Lifting the couch) Taduhhhhhhh Mark Sanders super strong man to the rescue.
Mark's mom(Shocked) Mark you picked the couch up one handed, how did you do that?
Mark: I guess I'm just strong now hurry up and vaccum under it.
Mark's whole body became a mass of muscles as his mom quickly vaccumed under it and he put it down.
Mark: I wonder what else I can pick up.
Mark's mom: I wouldn't try anything for now sweetie, I don't want you hurting yourself.
Mark: It didn't hurt me to lift the couch.
Mark's mom: Just sit down and watch Elmo, I'll go make us some lunch.
Mark stared at the TV as we're brought back to Violet's office where she was making notes.
Mark: My mom was surpirsed I could lift the couch with one hand and to tell you the truth so was I.
Violet: And when did you start lifting other things?
Mark: Like?
Violet: Like kids for their lunch money, and other heavier things.
Mark: Junior high, I was stared at all the time so I decided to be a bully and the stares stopped.
Violet: When did you meet Billy?, he's younger than you.
Mark: I met him when he moved across the street with his family, my friends saw him as a freak and so did I.
Violet: And you think your any better than him?
Mark: I don't parade around shooting lightning from my fingertips do I?
Violet: And he doesn't run around hitting Managers to video arcades either.
Mark: He would have if he had the guts to sneak out with me, but again he wouldn't have gotten in trouble like I did.
Violet: What makes you say that?
Mark: He's the son of the founder of this fine establishment, you couldn't punish him if you tried.
Violet: As soon as he does something wrong I'll punish him.
Mark: Shocking me isn't enough these days?
Violet: You had that coming and you know it.
Mark: He's easy to pick on, I mean he's so small he could fit under the crack in the floorboards.
Violet: He's just trying to find his place in this orphanage like everybody else.
Mark: But he isn't like everybody else, he's adopted meaning he has a family.
Violet: So do the rest of you, you were sent here to learn how to use your powers wisely.
Mark: Zapping people isn't wise in my opinon.
Violet: Neither is tempting them to do it but that's my opinon.
Mark: Why do you care so much about us?, we're a bunch of freaks walking the streets and living in normal homes.
Violet: Because I was once a freak, but the normal home part never came.
Mark: You still are a freak, anybody with powers these days is a freak.
Violet: You've been watching too much of the news, we're the same as other people.
Mark: Yea if other people made force fields, turned invisible, and could lift one hundred times their weight.
Violet: We all have something we wish to change about ourselves, me I wish I could look prettier but this long black hair get's in the way.
Mark: There's a million and one things I'd like to change about myself and they all involve getting rid of these powers.
Violet: Your powers are a gift you should embrace them
Mark(Yawning) Whatev I'm out, you can explain my punishment tomorrow.
Violet: Mopping duty is your punishment.
Mark: Mopping and me don't mix.
Violet: They do now, I want to see my face in the hall tomorrow.
Mark: I'm starting to hate it here.
Violet: Follow the rules and there will be no punishments to dish out.
