Chapter Fourteen: Make It Ours

"We understand but we can't just kidnap Mirage and keep her here. The NSA would notice if she suddenly went missing." Travis explained.

"I know how we can do it and Mirage will never even know we have the child." Avian said spinning around in his chair to face them. Everyone looked at him waiting for him to go on.

"Go on." Syndrome urged after a moment of silence.

"I have an old friend. She was kicked out of the NSA about fourteen years ago for messing with supers unborn children and their DNA. She can go and extract the child from Mirage letting her think she terminated it. She has the technology and equipment to bring the child back here and make it yours." Avian explained looking off into space as if he was elsewhere. "Her name is Veetra Danz."

"What do you mean make it ours?" Lex asked as Syndrome looked her up on his computer.

"She can change the child's appearance, hair and eye color and so on. She can also change their DNA to give them almost any super powers." He said staring off into space again.

"I take it that's why she was kicked out of the NSA. Call her and tell her she's hired. Travis keep an eye on Mirage and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid before Veetra can get to her." Syndrome demanded and the two went off to do as they were instructed and he looked to Lex worried she was against his new plan.

"What?" She asked sitting next to him in his bed.

"You're ok with this plan right?" He asked a bit afraid of what her answer might be.

"Why wouldn't I be? Buddy after what Incredible and his family did to you I will do anything to get revenge on him." She replied seriously and kissed him passionately. "There is no way I'm going to let someone try and take you away from me and get away with it." Lex said darkly running her fingers though his short red hair.

"Since when did you become so vengeful?" He asked a bit surprised by how serious and evil she sounded.

"Since they almost killed you. Since I saw your manta jet explode and I found you in a bloody heap beneath the rubble of the Parr house. This isn't just your revenge now. It's our revenge." Lex explained her eyes not focusing on anything as she imagined the things she wanted to do to Mr. Incredible and his family.

Buddy stared back at her seeing everything in her eyes anger, sadness, hatred, and revenge. He never thought he'd see those things in her all at once, but it was there. It angered him that he allowed this to happen. He slipped up in his plans and almost got himself killed and it made its mark on Lex like the day Incredible rejected him. Incredible and his family were going to pay for what they did to him and what they did to Lex no matter what it took.

The rest of the week everyone worked on making Syndrome's limbs and adding special features to them all as well. Buddy kept taking his new eye out and adjusting it at least three times a day. His hand was finished and complete with built in Zero Point Energy. They had the legs fully constructed and were just waiting for the synthetic skin to be finished. Lex rolled her eyes at Buddy as he put his eye back in after messing with it. He blinked a few times to get it to focus and its blue illuminated iris stared back at Lex.

"You need to stop messing with it so your stitches can heal." She said as she stared to clean around them with q-tips and rubbing alcohol making him wince.

"It's almost perfect. Just needs a few more adjustments." He smiled at her as she finished cleaning up the stitches around his eye. Travis entered bringing a wheelchair making Buddy's eyes light up. "You're finally letting me out of bed?" He asked eyeing the chair excitedly.

"Yep." Lex replied kissing him lightly on the lips. After the fun struggle of getting him from the bed to the chair Lex wheeled him around the base as he grinned, so happy to finally be out of the medical wing. He complimented her on everything and more that she had done with the place. His favorite was his new personal lab which had the main computer in it as well.

After they ate lunch together they spent some time in his personal lab and Buddy finally perfected his eye and vowed to Lex that he wouldn't tinker with it anymore. They were called out to the hangar and waited to welcome Veetra. Avian looked beyond excited and Lex and Buddy could tell that he probably had some history with her. When she stepped out of the manta jet Avian looked like he was ready to go and swoop her off of her feet and carry her away.

She was rather short, shorter than Lex even. Her skin was pale as if she had never seen the light of day contrasting greatly with her black short spikey hair with long vibrant red bangs tucked behind her ears. A tiny pair of glasses rested on her small nose barely hiding her light brown eyes and she wore a long dark red skirt with a black and red striped spaghetti strapped shirt. Her eyes instantly set on Avian lighting up.

"Danny Bird!" She said happily and rushed to give him a hug. He was blushing when she released him.

"Hi Veetra." He said shyly and she smiled to herself and held her hand out to Syndrome who shook it.

"Syndrome I presume?" She asked before hopping a step over and gave Lex a hug. "And you must be Lex! I'm so glad to know that I'm not going to be the only girl here!"

"You're an odd one aren't you?" Syndrome asked eyeing her strangely.

"Why yes I am." She smiled proudly. "So whose baby to I get to play with? Your email said it was a supers baby I'm excited! It's been so long since I got a young one to play with." She said happily. "So which supers is it?"

"Mr. Incredible and Mirage's." Lex explained and Veetra's eyes lit up.

"So he doesn't know about it does he? Mirage… I think I've heard of her…" She asked and Syndrome and Lex nodded in reply. "Oh this is just great! I can get my revenge on him for getting me fired from the NSA all those years ago!" Everyone including Avian eyed her questioningly. "Oh well have you seen his daughter? Ever notice she doesn't look much like her parents? That was my doing. I thought it'd be fun to test to see if I could change her physical features to match her powers since I figured out what they were before she was even born." She laughed. "But the NSA along with Mr. Incredible and his wife Elastigirl didn't think so."

"You're definitely hired." Syndrome said as Lex started to wheel him through the base alongside Veetra and Avian.

"Oh I'm so glad you picked me for this! I was getting really bored with my other experiments. Didn't have proper test subjects either…" Veetra trailed off and smiled at Avian and quickly took his hand in hers making him jump. He looked like he was about to melt and was trying to hold himself together from fainting not used to the attention she was suddenly giving him. She pulled him closer to her and he fainted. "Oops look what I did now. I haven't even been here a day and he's all butterflies." She laughed.

"Travis can you come and get Avian please he's in corridor B of the hangar. And have someone get Veetra's things." Lex said into her headset.

"Already on my way." Travis replied laughing. He had to be watching the feeds.

Lex and Syndrome explained everything to Veetra and had started setting up a lab space for her since she needed all of her equipment set up and working before she could go and retrieve the baby. The two started to realize as they sat in the lab attaching Syndrome's legs later that evening with Avian after he woke back up that neither of them really talked about the baby and what their plans were for it.

Avian just finished configuring the synthetic skin on Syndrome's new legs and ran off to go have dinner with Veetra leaving Lex and Syndrome alone in the lab together. Buddy was sitting in his wheelchair flexing his new legs and picking things up with his toes doing little tests on them before he decided to try and walk on them.

"I'm so glad you're finally whole again. If it wasn't for your eye I wouldn't even be able to tell you were almost..." She trailed off not wanting to say the last word and lightly ran a finger beside the stitches below his eye making him lean into her hand.

"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you." He said and pulled her into his lap kissing her passionately. She rested her head on his shoulder and kissed his neck.

"I miss this." She said sadly and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Me too." He held her close. "You know what else I miss?" He tightened his grip on her and stood from his wheel chair on his new legs. "Carrying you to bed."

"Oh my god! Buddy be careful you're not used to them yet!" Lex yelled a bit afraid he'd fall over. But to her surprise his steps didn't falter at all and he carried her out of the lab and down the corridor to their room.

"See I'm fine." He smiled at her as he laid her down on the bed. It was so strange it didn't even feel like his legs weren't his along with his hand. The only things that were different really was having Zero Point Energy in his new hand and being able to see all kinds of extra things with his new and improved eye. He could see Lex's heart racing as she stared up at him and if he wanted he could see everything in infrared as well as many other spectrums of light and magnification and so on. There were so many things he wanted to do with Lex but he knew she wouldn't let him until he was fully healed. She went through so much trouble to make sure he'd be whole again; there was nothing that either of them wouldn't do for each other.

"Lay with me." Lex pleaded and entwined her fingers with his. He quickly obeyed and they both striped down to their underwear and got under the covers together. He wrapped his legs and arms around her and she snuggled into his chest. They fell asleep entwined in one another.

They woke up a bit late and took their time getting ready for the day. No one dared to bother them until they came out of their room together knowing that Syndrome could finally walk again.

Syndrome felt so good to be back in his super suit and rocket boots. Lex put his eye mask on for him and he did the same for her and they put their gloves and gauntlets on and walked down the corridor together hand in hand to the kitchen for breakfast. Avian and Travis were sitting together talking rather quietly in the corner drinking coffee and the two joined them and Avian turned red when they looked at him. He had a bite mark on his neck and one on his ear.

"Wow… Avian… Veetra must really like you." Lex said and Buddy chuckled.

"Yeah… she's liked me since high school… we've known each other for a long time. I've liked her for as long as I can remember. I had no idea she liked me back this whole time…" He said quietly as Veetra entered the kitchen wearing red pajama pants and a black tank top and her hair was a mess. She skipped over to their table and sat next to Avian giving him a kiss on the lips making him turn completely red.

"Morning." She said happily and rested her head on Avian's shoulder. Buddy tried to contain himself as he enjoyed the functions of his new eye seeing Avian's heart rate go up as Veetra cuddled up to him. Lex nudged him lightly as he let out a snicker.

"What's so funny?" Veetra asked as if her behavior towards Avian wasn't anything unusual.

"You… never mind. You're just very strange… I'll leave it at that." Buddy shook his head trying not to laugh.

"Thanks." She smiled happily like it was a compliment. "So it should take about a week to get everything set up and tested then I'll be ready to get that super baby." Lex gave Buddy a look and he knew what she was thinking. They still had yet to talk about anything involving their plans and just the baby in general. Travis noticed and stood from the table.

"I'm going to get a few guys and get started on assembling your equipment." He said to Veetra who took Avian by the hand.

"We're right behind you. Avian just needs to help me get dressed first." She giggled dragging the red faced Avian out of the kitchen behind her leaving Lex and Buddy alone. They stared at each other for a few moments.

"So we're going to have a kid." Buddy said awkwardly breaking the silence.

"A super's kid…" Lex added and they both let out a sigh. "So what are we going to do with it?"

"I don't even know… use it to destroy Incredible or tear his family apart… have it… her or him… get into the NSA and learn about the other supers… Lex what are we doing? For the first time in sixteen years I don't have a plan…" Buddy held his head in his hands. Lex put a hand on his shoulder and he turned to her.

"We'll figure it out. We have nine months to come up with ideas. Whatever we plan to do it will work. I know it will. Besides the NSA doesn't know you're alive and from what I can tell they don't even know I exist." She said hoping to make him feel better.

"I know. But there is no way to be sure that Mirage didn't tell the NSA about you. If they think she's hiding anything they'll go to great lengths to get it out of her. They could be searching for you already." He said looking at her with fear in his eyes.

"Don't worry. If they do ever come after me there is no way they'd find me. Besides I can handle myself." She explained and kissed him lightly on the lips. As much as he knew she'd be fine if they ever did take her away from him there was no way he could allow himself to stay hidden for very long.

Things were going to change soon with the child and it scared him to think it might change him and Lex's relationship for the worse. He was almost himself again and now the kid would bring a whole new array of problems and complications to everything. What did he know about being a parent? Not much. His parents always left him to do as he pleased and he basically raised himself and Lex's childhood was about the same. They left the kitchen and headed to the lab to work and think.

They worked on a few different inventions in silence. Lex was thinking the exact same things as Buddy. She finally had him back and things were already going to get complicated again with the baby. On top of that there was the stress of all the 'what ifs' and other questions. Are they going to raise it as their own or just use it for their plans? Did Buddy even want kids? It was something that they had never talked about. Hell they never even talked about marriage even though they might as well be married. Then again something like that didn't really seem all that important. It was more a luxury that they both would never get to share, but it was something she wanted. A chance to feel like a normal couple. She began imagining what it would be like when Syndrome's words interrupted her thoughts.

"I want to make it ours." He blurted out and looked to her for a response.

"The kid?" Lex asked making sure she heard him right.

"Yes. I think it'd work out better. I've always wanted to have some normality between us and I think the baby would be perfect for that. I mean look at what we have been doing? We were just scattered all over the place, fighting, killing, inventing, and planning. We need this. For the first time we both have no clue what we're getting ourselves into. Something new and semi-normal. I want to do this with you." He explained as Lex stared back at him speechless. The whole time they had been in the lab he couldn't stop thinking about making things real between him and Lex and hoped that she would see the potential this had to bringing them even closer together.

Lex stared back at him as she processed what he had just said. He had said the exact same thing that she was thinking.

"I love you. You stole the words right out of my mouth." She smiled and pulled him into a kiss.

"Really?" He smiled back at her and put his forehead to hers and looked deep into her eyes. "I love you." He whispered and lightly placed a kiss on her lips. They both sat back in their chairs and stared at one another for a few moments.

"We're going to be…" Buddy began and was having a hard time saying the last word.

"…Parents." Lex said for him and both of them just stared wide eyed at each other imagining what was to come.
