Chapter One: Bring Your Child to Work Day

Robinson Industries was one of the brightest companies in the San Fransokyo area. The city was known for its technological impact on the world, but anywhere where the minds of Robinson, Deavor, Krei and countless others converged would be.

Cornelius Robinson had always strived to make his company as welcoming as possible. They held parties and expos constantly, always inviting families and the public to see new projects. Bring your child to work day was no different.

Which meant that sixteen year old Wilbur Robinson was skipping school to hang out with his dad.

He'd gone to every take your child to work day since he was two and old enough to actually enjoy it. At first, his dad had kept him in the lab and they'd worked on small projects, or he'd gone down to the lounge to meet some of the other kids. Now that he was older, Cornelius mostly let him lounge in his office as he caught up on paperwork and father-son conversations.

"Remember, we've got that party with the Deavors this weekend," Cornelius reminded his son. "I need you to make sure your sister doesn't get overwhelmed,"

"Dad, Vex is going to love Aunt Evelyn, it's me who you should be worried about," The teenager responded. Cornelius laughed, looking up from his computer to smile at his son.

"Let's finish up these files and head down to the labs," Cornelius suggested, glancing at his watch. "There's plenty of stuff that will interest you,"

"Sure!" Wilbur cried. "Sounds cool!"

Cornelius went back to his files, leaving Wilbur to play with one of the mind bending toys on his desk. It was quiet for a few minutes, the only sounds were the clinking of the newton's cradles or the rustle of papers.

"Dad?" Wilbur asked. "Did you see that report on the Big Four?"

"There's been several Wil," Cornelius responded, smiling. "But I assume you mean the one where they saved the ambassador?"

The Big Four were San Fransokyo's local branch of superheroes. Although they'd only made their public debut about two years ago, people already knew them by name - Nightfury, Frost, Archer and Solarflare. Supers had been more common back when Cornelius was a kid, but Wilbur's generation rarely saw them, due to outdated regulations that had caused the supers to go into hiding. The Big Four were one of the first teams to come out of the darkness.

"YES!" Wilbur said, flipping his phone around to show the article he was reading. "They totally saved Queen Elena from that assassination!"

"That is their job Wil,"

"Superheroes are so cool," Wilbur mused. "Our superheroes are so cool,"

"Being a superhero is rough, Wilbur," Cornelius said quietly. "You have to be aware of everything, and keep yourself and civilians safe. They could get seriously hurt out there,"

"Da-ad," Wilbur groaned. "It's not like I'm going to become a super! It's genetic!"

Cornelius smiled and put his files down.

"I suppose you're right," He said. "Ready to go check out the lower lab-"

Suddenly, they were interrupted by a frantic ringing from Cornelius's pocket. He pulled out his phone, tapping the call button and holding it up to his ear.

"Hello- oh no." Cornelius whispered. "I'll be right down, don't worry!"

He ran for the door, flinging it open.

"What's wrong?" Wilbur asked, and Cornelius whipped around.

"Wil, stay here," Cornelius said hurriedly. "There's an issue I need to take care of, but you need to stay here,"

"But-"

"Wilbur. Promise me you'll stay here."

Wilbur nodded, and just like that, his father disappeared as he raced down the hall towards the elevator.


He tried to stay still - really he did. But it was boring just sitting in the office with nothing to do, and he'd never really outgrown his curious streak, so Wilbur snuck out after his dad.

On the ride down to the lab floor (which he knew was right because the elevator had programs that showed him the last known destination), Wilbur fiddled with his visitor ID badge clipped to his shirt.

"What is this thing?" He muttered, playing with a little metal cap over the edge. It hadn't been there before, and the only thing he could think of to explain it was that it limited his access to certain areas or was meant to track him. "Huh?"

The corners of the elevator had suddenly gotten very dark, and there was a weird wispy sound, like when you kicked up sand at the beach or poured a bunch of sprinkles onto a plate. Wilbur blinked, but it was gone just as quickly as it had appeared.

The elevator dinged, and Wilbur promptly forgot about the weird visitor badge or shadow sand. He stepped out onto the lab floor, scanning the marked doors for any sign of his father.

One of the labs had loud sounds coming from it, like a machine on overdrive and the yells of people trying to hear each other over the noise. There.

"Doctor Manny Moone," Wilbur read off of the plaque on the door, then peeked inside.


"SHUT IT DOWN!" Merida Dunbroch - research assistant - screamed.

Doctor Haddock rolled his eyes at his girlfriend, then went back to trying to do exactly that. Dr Moone's project had had its good and bad days before, but nothing as stressful as this.

"Do you want me to…" Jackson Overland - research assistant - yelled to Dr Moone, who shook his head.

"We just need to cut the power!" The portly old man said, nodding over to Hiccup and the final assistant, Rapunzel Corona.

"We're trying!" Rapunzel yelled. "It's like it has a mind of its own! I can't even tell why it's going crazy!"

Hiccup growled. None of their tests were picking up any abnormalities in the machines, but it was clearly overheating in front of them.

"Moone!" Cornelius cried. "Should I start the evacuation?"

Moone shook his head.

"I don't think that will be necessary Dr Robinson!" He yelled. "Jackson, Merida, updates?"

"Well it's getting super hot in here," Jack griped, pulling his shirt collar away from his neck and panting.

"Ow!" Merida shrieked, yanking her hand back from the machine. "There's somethin' blocking tha' master switch!"

Rapunzel ran a quick diagnostic, then gasped loudly.

"There's a layer of this… unidentified metal!" The blonde yelled over the ever growing din. "It's blocking the master switch, the main vents and it's messing with the chemical balances!"

Moone's eyes widened and he turned to Cornelius.

"Now would be the time to start the evacu-" He started, but was cut off as the main machine exploded.

Jack and Hiccup locked eyes before lunging towards Rapunzel and Merida respectively, the two pairs crashing to the ground.

Everyone in the room was thrown back with the force of the explosion, and as fires started to swarm the room, everything started to go black.


"We are here at Robinson Industries after a massive explosion led to a huge police and fire presence," One of the many reporters outside the building said. "So far there's been no sign of San Fransokyo's famed Big Four, but firemen have been successful in pulling any victims from the wreckage,"

Behind the news vans, Robinson Industries was still smoking from the fire. Firefighters had been successful in putting out the flames from the explosion and pulling out everyone inside.

"We're found Mr Robinson!" One of the firemen yelled, and several others helped the blonde man out of the rubble.

"Mr Robinson!" The reporter yelled, running towards him. "Do you know what caused this explosion!?"

"Sadly I do," He responded, letting paramedics check him over. "It seems an experiment in the lower lab overheated and caused unforeseen complications. Luckily, the other labs close by were unoccupied,"

Cornelius let himself be escorted to an ambulance, but he insisted on checking out his other employee's first. There were only minor injuries - scrapes, bruises, the odd broken bone - but everyone just seemed shaken up. While the employee's lounge had been right above the explosion, it seemed that all of the children had been safely accounted for.

"We've found more!" A firefighter yelled as he and a few others uncovered another person. "He's not responding, completely unconscious!"

"That's Dr Moone!" A voice from the crowd gasped as the older man was removed from the rubble and rushed to an ambulance. "Where are his assistants?!"

"Two more!"

Jack and Rapunzel were pulled out, both miraculously uninjured and just dirty from the rubble. Rapunzel ignored the paramedics who tried to help her and stumbled towards the crowd of rescues, but Jack grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug. Onlookers watched as a small brunette girl burst from the crowd, hurtling towards the couple. Jack grabbed her as well and the three sank to the ground, still holding each other close.

The firefighters were worried that they wouldn't find anyone else alive, but moved a portion of the floor to discover Hiccup and Merida, hidden in an extremely lucky pocket in the ruins. It almost seemed impossible with how untouched the two were.

Firemen helped a panting and exhausted Merida out, followed by Hiccup, who scooped up the redhead and took her to the ambulance himself.

Cornelius was glad to see the four had survived, but was quickly distracted when he didn't see his son in the crowd.

"WIL?" He yelled, but no familiar cowlick appeared. "WILBUR?!"

"Sir, your son is Wilbur Robinson?" The firechief asked. Cornelius nodded, eyes wide.

"Teenage, dark hair?"

"Yes, is he okay?" Cornelius asked frantically. "Where is my son?!"

"They just found him," The fire chief said, nodding towards the rubble where two firemen had pulled the final victim from the rubble.

It was Wilbur, and he wasn't waking up.

"Come on sir, we'll let you ride with him to the hospital,"

Cornelius nodded blankly, and followed the fire chief to the ambulance.
