Alia woke up remembering everything that had happened the night before. She was traveling across Salem and the area around it for about 2 hours. Nothing exciting happened; the least boring thing that happened was helping a man out of his car that was on fire. Boring!
She got home late; about 1 in the morning, giving her adequate time to sleep. The next couple of days went the same, just patrolling some small cities and doing small things, like helping the old lady cross the street.
Alia first made her public debut a week after she got her job. She was babysitting her brothers and it was around midday.
Hunter was playing with water all around the house and spilling it everywhere. Alia could deal with that later when he was done.
Trevor, as always, was playing on his iPad, which was what he did all day. Everyone in the family was surprised that he doesn't have glasses as of yet. Soon, Alia keeps telling him.
At the time, Alia was sitting down, reading one of her favorite books, The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan. She could feel a connection to Percy, who had some water powers like her.
In her book, Percy was just realizing who he was when Alia's watch beeped. Three times. Thinking back to her knowledge of Henry Danger, she remembered three beeps means big time emergency. Uh oh, she thought.
Trevor looked up when he heard the beep, but after a moment he focused his eyes back on the screen. Hunter was playing nearby and ran up to Alia. "What's that, Li?"
Her head was beaded with sweat. "Uh... Hunter, how about you go back to playing with your water."
He shrugged. "Okay Li." And he began to fill up cups and empty them on the floor again.
Alia darted into the office, where no one but her dad was allowed to go. But this was an emergency, so rules had to be broken.
The watch had a pattern of vibrations on her wrist, heavy vibration, light vibration, heavy vibration. Probably meant nothing.
She lifted the dial and a hologram of Cooper, not Captain Man, showed up.
"What's up Coop," Alia asked.
He scowled. "Don't call me 'Coop'. There's a major emergency at the Mall of America."
"What's the emergency?"
"Robbers. Thieves. With guns."
"Oh. I thought that they ran out of lotions at Bath and Body Works."
He frowned again. "Now's not the time to joke around, Alia. Meet me in the St. Paul Man Cave ASAP."
"But I'm babysitting my brothers!"
"Li, you have to put your job in front of everything else. That was part of the deal."
"You never said that."
"Yes I did. Come quickly."
"I'll try," she said hesitantly. "One more thing. Is the watch supposed to vibrate?"
"Yeah it's supposed to. Heavy light heavy is me, heavy light light is a man cave, and heavy heavy heavy is Jace. Got it?"
"Got it. See you soon," and when the hologram disappeared, she mumbled "hopefully."
Now to get rid of her brothers.
There were two options: insane, or psychopath.
Psychopath was locking them in the cold basement and telling them to shut up or else she'll take away the things that they valued most, which were the tablet and iPad. And make them promise to not tell.
Insane was not much better. She stunned them until she came back and hoped that the job took her less than two hours. Otherwise, she'll be in court for child abuse.
She decided to go with insane. She simply set her watch to stun, zapped them, and hoped that they wouldn't wake up soon. The stun would only last a few minutes, so she stunned them a couple of times for extra measures. And it should last longer since they're smaller than adults.
She felt kind of bad doing that to them, but if she was going to be a superhero, she should get rid of any soft spot she had for anyone.
The water was all over the house, and while her brothers were unconscious, she used her water abilities to extract all of it and move it to the sink. No more water. Now to answer her call.
Alia teleported behind that same dumpster that she did yesterday by the antique store.
She walked right in. "Hi Jamie!" She said with a smile.
"Hi Alia. Cooper wants you in St Paul."
"Yeah I heard." She said. "Tell him I'll be right down."
She walked behind the curtain and went down the elevator. For the first time, she found a man cave quiet, but that was because they were all in Minnesota.
Opening the secret door, she walks inside to enter the tunnel system. Thinking back to her fourth grade geography course, she made her ways through the tunnel.
"Hmm," she said to herself, "Minnesota comes under mid-west, doesn't it?" She walked through that, then through north. One of many choices were Minnesota. Unlike the Pennsylvania one, when she walked through the tunnel, it gave two options, St. Paul and a place names Moorhead. She went through St. Paul and slid open the door.
"There you are!" Jace exclaimed, already in his Kid Danger uniform.
"Sorry I'm late. Had to deal with my brothers."
Cooper came out from behind a corner, also in his uniform. "What did you do to them anyways?"
Alia looked at the ground. "I stunned them."
Cooper and Jace's faces were masked with horror. "What?" Jace exclaimed.
"I had to." She said, still looking at the ground. "Cooper said I should put my job before anything else."
"I didn't say to stun your brothers though!" He said. "Come on, let's go. Hope we get this done before you end up in court."
"Hey, at least I didn't lock them in the basement." Both Jace and Cooper glared at her. "Sorry." She took out her bubblegum and popped a red one out and into her mouth. "Where's Riele?" She said chewing her gum.
"Right here." A voice said behind her. Riele was sitting by a computer with Michael. How did she miss her before? "Cooper, you should really get going now. One guy is wrestling with a store manager." She said pointing to the screen.
"Right. You'll be keeping it touch?"
"Yup," Riele said, pointing to the monitor and the microphone.
"Good." Cooper said. Then, to Jace and Alia, "Get in the copter."
"Too slow," Alia said. "I might be able to get all of us there by teleporting. Emphasis on might."
"How reliable is it?" Jace asked
"I'm saying there's a 50% chance I'll get us in the mall, and the other half is that we'll be within 5 mile radius of it. Both ways, I'll be mentally exhausted and will probably be only to fight hand to hand, not with any of my powers." She blew her bubble and transformed into her costume as Girl Danger. "That's better," she said looking down at herself.
"It's too risky." Jace said.
"It's a risk we have to take, kid." Cooper said to Jace. He turned to Alia. "Let's do this."
"Okay. Both of you hold my hands." Cooper put his hand in Alia's and Jace did too. When Jace put his hand in, he squeezed her hand the slightest bit, and made Alia think that maybe it wasn't an accident, but before she had time to think about it, she took the three of them to the mall.
Or at least, close to the mall.
She ended up a quarter of a mile away from the entrance of the mall. "I was close," she said catching her breath.
"Close enough for me, Girl Danger. Get moving." Said Captain Man. And he broke out into a sprint to the mall. Kid Danger followed after him.
Alia, or Girl Danger now, groaned. She was horrible in gym class, and it was the only subject she got a B on her report card. She tried following after them and was so slow, that she was halfway there while the boys had already made it.
There was a crowd of police cards outside of the mall along with camera crews from news stations. The police were doing their best to hold back the reporters and everyone else.
Captain Man and Kid Danger weren't in sight. Girl Danger was trying to get past through a hole in security, but an officer saw her.
"Stop!" He shouted "Stop in the name of the law!"
Girl Danger out her hands up in the air as if to surrender, and mentally, she was thinking Someone please help me. The police officer came over to inspect her for weapons.
"I'm not the bad guy!" She pleaded. "I'm trying to help."
The officer didn't seemed convinced by this. "Uh huh. That's what they all say."
Girl Danger was thinking maybe she could manage enough power to cause a plant to wrap around the officer's ankles and get him off of her, but that would cause the other officers to come running.
When all hope was to be given up, Captain Man saves the day. "Girl Danger!" He cried out, and shoved through police officers to get to her. "There you are." He looked at the police officer next to his sidekick, whose hands were in the air. "Oh." He said blankly.
In the midst of it all, Kid Danger appears behind Captain Man. "Oh." He said after seeing the situation.
Captain Man looks at the officer. "She's with me," he says. Then he smiles for a camera. There were a ton of those, taking pictures and footage of Captain Man, Kid Danger, and this new girl. "She's my other sidekick, Girl Danger." Some muffled banging is heard from in the mall. "Gotta blast." And he runs away dragging Girl Danger and Kid Danger with him.
When there were no more police officers around, Captain Man glared at Girl Danger. "Where were you?" He said in gritted teeth.
"I'll explain later. Look." She pointed to a guy with a gun and a ski mask in a jeweler.
Kid Danger laughed. "Clichéd robbery. We're all about the original, aren't we?"
"It's better the original then something we're not used to." Captain Man says.
"True." Kid Danger says.
Girl Danger stands up on a nearby bench. "Hey!" She said loudly.
Captain Man looked at Girl Danger. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?.
The robber turned around with his gun. "Yeah you," Girl Danger said. His finger was on the trigger. "Whoa, hold on. You don't want to do that." Captain Man and Kid Danger left her side.
"I do and I will. You have thirty seconds to get out before the trigger is pulled on you."
"Hmm? Yeah, that isn't going to work." This was because as she was distracting him, Kid Danger and Captain Man were sneaking up behind him, and just as she said that, they sprang out and knocked the gun out of his hands.
Girl Danger grinned. "Told you it wasn't going to work." Captain Man pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his belt.
The guy in the mask glared at her. "You little bitch." He growled.
"Mind your language." Kid Danger said to him. "That 'bitch' is my..." Captain Man and Girl Danger looked at him. "She's my friend. And my fellow partner in crime fighting."
"That doesn't change anything. She's still a bitch." The man said.
"I got this." Girl Danger said. And she pulled out a bandana she happen to have in her belt and gagged him with it. "That's for calling me a bitch." She said.
The man tried to say something, but the gag took care of it.
Kid Danger looked at Girl Danger. "Nice. Let's go get the rest. Captain Man where's the next one?"
"Riele says at Build a Bear workshop."
"Why would anyone rob that place?" Girl Danger asked. "Stuffed animals are creepy."
"Don't know." Kid Danger said. "Maybe the guy's lonely."
"Maybe." Girl Danger said. "Let's go."
It turns out the guy was not lonely. He wasn't even a robber. He was probably a psychopath. He was running around the store tearing everything apart; the clothes, animals, and was eating the stuffing. The last one reassured everyone that he was crazy.
"Hey you!" Kid Danger said. "Spit out the stuffing."
Girl Danger turned to Kid Danger. "That sounded so weird."
"Yeah it did." He looked back at the weird guy, who had stuffing all over his face. "Spit it out," he told him like he was telling a dog to sit. He spit it out. "Good." Kid Danger said. "Why were you doing this?"
The response was a mumble jumble of quick speaking in words that were probably not English. "Excuse you?" Kid Danger said.
"Wait," Captain Man said. "I took Spanish in high school. This sounds vaguely like Spanish, but not quite."
"Maybe Portuguese?" Girl Danger suggested.
"Maybe." Captain Man said.
Captain Man started talking in Spanish, and Girl Danger only caught a few words that she knew from her seventh grade IWL class. Kid Danger could understand a few words too from two years of Spanish in high school.
The man nodded. It was weird he wasn't carrying any weapon. Girl Danger just wished all the criminals were as easy as this guy.
Captain Man turned to his sidekicks. "The guy speaks Portuguese." He confirmed.
Girl Danger glared at him. "So what? Arrest him."
"Oh yeah." And he pulled out a pair of handcuffs and got this one as well. He puts his hand to his ear for a moment. "Next one is at Macy's. And it's not just one, it's a whole group of them, according to Riele."
Kid Danger groaned. "You're saying it's not going to be as easy as this guy. Ugh."
"Right with you, kid." Girl Danger said.
At least the Macy robbers didn't speak a foreign language.
The lot of them were fairly dumb, but all had weapons, so being physical won't work.
That left trickery and diplomacy.
Captain Man started it off. He walked to the cash register where the group members were grabbing money.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kid Danger and Girl Danger were hiding behind a rack in maternity wear.
"I do not like this at all." Kid Danger said pushing a bra out of his face.
Girl Danger laughed. "Would you rather get trashed by those goons?"
"Nah, I'm good."
Bangs were heard from near the cash register. The members with guns were shooting at Captain Man chest. The bullets weren't making a scratch in his indestructible body, but they kept shooting.
When they finally realized that he was indestructible, their ammunition was all out.
"Ha!" He said to the men, who were frowning and checking their pockets for any more bullets. "I'm indestructible, you morons. Now, get away from the cash register and out your hands in the air." A few were actually obedient and did as he said. The smarter ones looked at them and face palmed.
"Those guys are idiots," one of them said.
"They are." Captain Man agreed. "But they are doing the right thing. Why don't you guys do the same?"
One guy scoffed. "Yeah right," he said.
"If you don't want to cooperate, we'll fight."
"Bring it on old man," the same guy said. "One of you against 10 of us."
"Is it?" Captain Man said with a smile on his face.
Behind the rack, Girl Danger said to Kid Danger, "That's our cue." They came out from behind the rack, and Kid Danger happily did so.
The man raised an eyebrow. "I knew about the boy, but what's with the pretty girl?"
Girl Danger looked at him with horror on her face and Kid Danger instinctively went closer to her, which made her feel a little bit uncomfortable.
Captain Man didn't look so pleased either. "She's my other sidekick."
He grinned. "Fight the boys," he told his fellow thieves. "Avoid hurting the girl. I want her for myself."
Girl Danger's face was full of rage. "I'm no one's, and you aren't going to hurt anyone."
She charged at them with no weapon. Only when a few seconds passed when she realized that this was dumb. She still had the element of surprise, and punched the man who wanted to be with her in the face.
He wasn't expecting a girl to hit him like that, so Girl Danger took the opportunity to twist his arms and put them behind his back. In her belt was a pair of handcuffs, and she pulled those out and shackled him.
"Do you like me now?" She growled in his ear.
He laughed. "Someday, little princess."
"I am not your princess." She threw him to the ground. He was squirming on the ground, struggling to get up.
"Who's next?" She asked. No one spoke up. "I'm going to say this again. Get away from the cash register and put your hands in the air."
They did as they were told. "Good." She said. "No one else is getting hurt. Captain Man?" And she motioned for him to take care of these guys.
Soon after all of them had handcuffs, the police came and took care of them.
"Any others?" Girl Danger asked Captain Man.
"Nope. We're all good. Let's get out of here."
Sorry it took sooooo long to upload this. I was out of town for a couple of days too, so couldn't get to write.
Another reason is that I was originally going to make this chapter and the next one big chapter, but it started getting way too long. Otherwise I would have updated it a few days ago.
Also, callout to trustme93 for being helpful with some pointers in my writing. Check out her HD fanfic if you haven't already.

Love to all you guys!
