Narrow Escape

Elastigirl carried the unconscious Invisigirl in her arms as she made her way through the jungle. After ten minutes of walking, Invisigirl began to wake up. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Hey sweetie!" greeted Elastigirl.

"Mom," asked Invisigirl, "did we get it?"

Elastigirl smiled. Invisigirl looked and saw that the Tights of Indestructibility are hanging on her mother's shoulder. Invisigirl gave a sigh of relief,. After that, her smile faded into a look of insecurity.

"What's wrong Vi?" asked her mother.

Invisigirl shook her head. "It's nothing mom."

Elastigirl nodded. She knew what was going through her daughter's mind. Neither wanted to talk about it.

After a couple minutes, both heroines found the Incredijet. Invisigirl was about to make a dash to the vehicle, when her mother extended her arm and grabbed her by the shoulder. She pulled her back to her side. Elastigirl pulled her daughter behind a nearby tree.

"Mom, what's going on?" Invisigirl asked.

Elastigirl pointed to the vicinity. The Incredijet was surrounded by police troopers. In the midst of all of the troopers was Detective Gamsby. One of the troopers walked up to him.

"Detective, no trace of those Super Heroes."

"Keep looking." commanded Gamsby. "They will have to come back here eventually."

Elastigirl and Invisigirl continued to eavesdrop and spy. Elastigirl turned to her daughter.

"Violet, we have to lure them away from the Incredijet."

Invisigirl nodded. "What's the plan?"

The troopers continued to guard the vehicle. Then, a stone, the size of a golf ball, smacked a trooper right on the temple. He recoiled. The troopers looked toward his direction. All of the sudden, Invisigirl reappeared out of nowhere. She kicked one trooper in the back, sending him to the ground.

"Looking for me?" Invisigirl asked.

She immediately turned and ran the other way. The troopers dashed after her. Detective Gamsby brought up the rear.

Meanwhile, when the coast was clear, Elastigirl crept up to the Incredijet. She reached up and elongated herself up to the cockpit. She had just entered, hen she heard a gunshot. She turned around and saw Detective Gamsby shooting at her. Before he could fire another shot, Elastigirl lashed her arm out at him. She punched him right across the face, knocking him out.

Elastigirl finally got the Incredijet started. She looked over the distance and saw her daughter. She was still being pursued by the troopers. Elastigirl reached out to her and wrapped her arms around Invisigirl. She reeled her into the cockpit. The troopers began firing their machine guns at the Incredijet. The bullets ricocheted off of the Incredijet, but fortunately, no bullets touched the two heroines. Once both were safe inside, and all of the doors were shut, Elastigirl boosted the engines to full power. The Incredijet took off and zoomed away from the island.

"You got lucky this time Supers." pouted Detective Gamsby. "But next time. . . next time. . ."
