Hey, guys! It's me, back with another chapter! I really hope you guys are enjoying this story, because I can hardly wait to write some more for you! Anyway, here's Chapter 10!
Margaret flew through a burning building as it began to collapse around her. She coughed and pushed on. "Hang on!" she called. "I'll get you!" A child was crying a few feet away. Margaret squinted, dirt in her eyes. The child's screams grew louder. "Hold on!" She flew faster, pushing herself even further. Finally, she reached the child's room. "Where are you?" Margaret coughed and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I can help you!" The child screamed again. Margaret found him in the closet. "It's okay." She picked him up. "Don't worry. I'll get you out of here." An explosion rattled the room. "Hold on tight." The little boy clung to her for dear life. Margaret punched her fist through a brick wall leading outside, and flew out just as the whole building came down. A crowd that had gathered in the street cheered as she landed in front of the little boy's parents. She handed him to his mother, who embraced her in a hug. "Tyler!" she said. "Oh, thank you!" said the boy's dad. Margaret nodded. "No problem", she said. "I'm always happy to help." "Oh, you helped, alright." "Huh?" Margaret spun around to see her mother. "Just look at this mess!" Ms. Vanderhoff gestured to the still burning rubble. "Because of you, this family now has nowhere to live! Menace!" Suddenly, the crowd's cheering turned into booing. The little boy blew her a raspberry. Margaret covered her ears as her mother started cackling and the crowd chanted: "Menace! Menace! Menace!"
Margaret gasped and awoke with a start, panting and in a cold sweat. She clutched her chest and took a deep breath. "It was just a dream", she breathed, and got up. "Hurry, honey!" Ms. Vanderhoff called from the kitchen. "You'll be late for work!" "You don't even know what my hours are", Margaret mumbled as she trudged into the kitchen. Suddenly, her phone beeped. A message flashed across the screen: "TRAINING: Ten minutes. See you there-Robert." "Was that your boss?" "Uh…yeah. He needs me to come in early for some…training stuff, so I gotta go." Margaret grabbed a PopTart and left.
The day seemed to fly by. Margaret practiced using her powers in a training exercise with Dash and Violet. "I think you're really getting the hang of this, Ms. Vanderhoff", said Robert after lunch. "It's time to get your suit." "Oh, yeah", said Margaret, following him to the limo. "I forgot all about that." Edna Mode was thrilled to design a new superhero suit. Before Margaret could even introduce herself, Edna rushed her inside and started scanning her. "Hold still, darling", she said. Margaret froze with her arms straight to her sides as Edna's scanner did its work. Edna examined her screen as Margaret's image came up. She immediately pulled out her sketch pad. Margaret watched as her hand moved at astonishing speed. "Height: 5'11"", Edna muttered. "Green eyes, brown hair; yes, yes, stretchy fabric; NO CAPES; green is the new black; green mask, green suit, green boots, and…voila! What do you think?" Edna showed her sketch to Margaret, who gasped. "I…I love it!" "Of course you do", said Edna, spinning around in her chair. "I will inform you when the suit is ready. In the meantime, I suggest you-""-come up with a name?" Margaret finished, and immediately slapped a hand over her mouth. She slowly lowered it. "Sorry", she said quietly, and then cleared her throat. "In honor of the father I never knew, I want my name to be…Gamma Girl."
Edna gasped. "You are Gamma Jack's daughter?" she said, examining her. "Yes, I see now: You have your father's eyes. Such a tragedy, what happened to Gamma Jack. Alas, Eagle Eye got the better of him." "Wait, what? I'm confused." Margaret turned to face Robert. "I thought Syndrome killed him." "Who told you that?" said Edna. "The people I'm working for." Margaret balled her hands into fists. "You lied to me?" "Um…" Robert backed up. "Who is this Eagle Eye?" Robert hit the wall. "Tell me the truth." Margaret's eyes darkened. Robert sighed. "He was your father's greatest enemy", he said. "With the ability to fly and a sonic scream, Eagle Eye was a huge threat to the city…until Gamma Jack defeated him. Before he could be locked up, Eagle Eye swore revenge and escaped. This was a few months before you were born. Gamma Jack feared for your mother's life, so the government ordered him to stay away from her…and you. They thought it was for the best, but no one has seen or heard from Eagle Eye in years."
"Then how was my father killed?" said Margaret. "Tell me!" "No one saw it coming", said Robert. "After he lost your mother, Gamma Jack fell into a state of depression. Eagle Eye destroyed him while his guard was down. The government told your mother that he abandoned her after he found out she was pregnant…and never came back." Margaret's hands and eyes lit up with anger. "So my mother's hatred of supers is all because of a lie?" she said, gritting her teeth. Robert gulped. "You have to understand", he said, shrinking into the wall, "it was for your protection." Margaret growled and hoisted him into the air with one hand. "My father is dead!" she exclaimed. "My mother has spent her whole life thinking he abandoned her, all because of the government's lie!" Robert struggled as her hand closed around his throat. "Margaret!" he wheezed. "Please!"
Suddenly, Margaret grunted. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell to the floor. One of Edna's guards held a gun. A tranquilizer dart was lodged into the back of Margaret's neck. Robert got up and brushed himself off. "Thank you", he said. "You shouldn't have kept the truth from her", said Edna. "I'll take her back", said Robert, "and tell her everything." Edna nodded. Her two guards dragged Margaret away. Robert followed them back to the limo. Edna sighed. "Poor child", she said.
Sooooo, what do you think? Now you know what happened to Gamma Jack, but whatever happened to that scoundrel Eagle Eye? If you wanna know, keep reading! I promise I'll tell you! See you for the next chapter!
