Chapter 3

" Why the hell did you run off?" Brandon yelled at his daughter

" The fight was getting old." Gwen said shrugging. Brandon walked over to the fridge and tripped over a small furry object.

" Blasted cat!" he yelled in his rage.

" Dad, be nice, Toby's only a kitten!"

" I don't understand you! You hate being around people, but yet you love animals!"

" Animals don't stab you in the back, or tell your secrets." Gwen said picking up her kitten and petting it lovingly.

" Well, when you end up being the mean old cat lady, I'm not going to admit that you're my sister. I don't even like admitting that now." Gary said and Toby hissed at him.

" It's fine girl." Gwen whispered to her. Then turned and started to the elevator.

" I'm not done yelling at you young lady!" Gwen sighed and set down her cat.

" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left, I won't do it again." She recited, this had happened many times before.

" Good, because we're going to try again, tonight." Her dad said

" Tonight doesn't work for me." Gwen said.

" Too bad, make it work."

" FINE!" she yelled then went to her room. She had just opened the door when the phone rang.

" Hello?"

" Is Gwen there?"

" Anthony?"

" Yeah."

" What's up?" she asked

" I was wondering if you could tell me what we did in class today, I left early."

" So did I, sorry. HEY! How'd you get my number?"

" I called every Pine in the phone book."

" Oh, what ever." She said " bye." Then she hung up.

" GWEN! It's time to go!" her dad yelled into the intercom.

" You don't have to yell," she said before changing into the red, orange and yellow suit.

" I hate this suit." She said before putting on the mask and hurrying down the hall of the huge house.

" I'm back!" Mercury Man said, punching out one of the guards.

" Pyro! Take care of the other one!" he called. Pyro rolled her eyes the set the guard's shirt on fire. Then she turned away as he ripped it off to put out the fire, he was, well heavyset.

" I thought we were done with you after you ran off, scared." The boy in red was back.

" Need I remind you, I wasn't the one in the arm twist." Pyro said, pulling her hair into a ponytail. Then she held her arms up, defensively. He sent a desk flying toward her, she burned it before it came within five feet of her.

" I may not be able to incinerate you, but I can do it to anything you throw at me." She said. Psyche looked her up and down, and then smirked.

" Dad!" he yelled, a man with red-brown hair turned. " Iron-man!" he yelled and the man turned to iron and psyche used his powers to heave him across the room at the confused red head. She was knocked out instantly. Meanwhile, Pyro's brother weather boy (yes, lame name) was making it rain. Psyche's sister screamed.

" Just phase through it, ghost girl (yes another lame name) then you can stop freaking out." He said turning to Mercury Man. He was using lasers to keep the heroes away. Psyche smirked. Then he used his powers to lift the unconscious girl.

" Hey! She look familiar?" he called to Mercury Man.

" Pyro!" he yelled aiming his lasers at him. " Put her down." He said.

" Or what?"

" You know what? Nothing, she's been a pain in my side ever since I met her. Take her, kill her, make my life easier." He said dropping his hand. Psyche looked to his family.

" Lets take her. We can find out her secret identity, and from that figure out who the villains are."

" Not necessarily, the fact that I know doesn't make her my daughter."

" But he said-" psyche started.

" He's my son, I barely know her." He said, grateful that she was unconscious, otherwise, she'd be killing him.

" Fine, we can still take her, find out who she is, then interrogate her." Shifter (Jack-Jack) said. MM smirked, and shot a major laser beam, right at the girl. When it hit psyche dropped her. MM and Weather Boy (A/N pauses to roll eyes at stupid name I made) jumped and grabbed her, then jumped into the get away car, with quite a bit of money, and sped off.

Back at the Parr's house, Jack-Jack was checking his kids for anything serious. Amanda was fine, so Jack-Jack went to check on Anthony. When he went into the room the boy looked troubled.

" What's wrong?" he asked.

" Would you ever do what Mercury Man did?"

" You mean rob a bank?"

" No, deny your kids?"

" But he said-,"

" He was lying, they have the same hair and eyes. Plus I could see that it pained him to say that."

" Anthony, I'd never have a reason to deny you, or Amanda. Don't worry about it." Jack-Jack said then left the room. In truth, the same thing had been bothering him. How could a parent do that to his child? It'd almost be like what his ex-wife does; only, she sees Amanda and Anthony every now and then. He went to his own room to check his own laser burns.

At the Pines, the conversation was different, in emotion, and decibel level.

" HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?" Gwen yelled, from her hospital bed in their private hospital, with the special nurse.

" I HAD TO!"

" WHY?"

" TO PROTECT THE FAMILY!"

" THEN WHY'D YOU SHOOT ME!" she screamed indicating the bandages wrapped around her hurting stomach. Gary touched her stomach, she screamed in pain and set his pants on fire. as he yelled and ran to find water, Brandon turned back to Gwen.

" I had to do what I did, but I'd never actually let them take you." He said quietly. Gwen just turned, pouting.

" I got you something." He said pulling out a locket. Gwen opened it, it had a picture of Toby in it. Gwen smiled at the picture then looked at her dad.

" this won't work forever." She said

" trust me, as long as you love animals, and they make new things to put pictures in, it will." He replied getting up. " you still have to go to school tomorrow."

" that sucks!"

A/N not as good as some other thing I've written (not published, but written) but I like it!

C.D.Anders – I'm sorry, I don't get what's hard to follow, but I'm writing it, so it wouldn't be hard. And thank you I will

Olua – YOU NEED TO SEE THE INCREDIBLES! And take me with you! Oh, and bring more pixie stix, especially for the NJHS Christmas party, but if you don't read this before then, oh well!
